vmcosco 19 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) If an album is played completely (played from start to finish), is it removed from the "Latest Music" section in the Music/Suggestions view? Just asking because my "Latest Music" does not match my Albums when sorted by Descending, Date Added. Edited November 17, 2016 by vmcosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5061 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Not on my system. With the option "Hide watched content from latest media" set movies disappear after watching, but music albums don't honor the setting it seems. Sort of wish there was an option for music Edited November 17, 2016 by FrostByte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of wish there was an option for music So then I guess my question is: Why doesn't my Latest Albums section match with my Albums being sorted Descending, Date Added?

Luke 37272 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It's not intended for played albums to removed. And yes, latest albums do sort that way but it's based on the songs within, but the album itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I verified that the added dates of the songs match the added dates of the albums. I attached screenshots of what I am talking about.

Luke 37272 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Sorting the albums by added is looking at the album itself, so that's something we should reconcile so that they match up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the songs in Lady Gaga - Joanne, for example, were just added 3 days ago. The songs in Gregory Porter - Be Good were added 14 days ago. Why would Lady Gaga not show on Latest?

Luke 37272 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Try comparing the date created timestamps of the audio files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmcosco 19 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Try comparing the date created timestamps of the audio files. Using the same two albums: Lady Gaga - Joanne all files are "created" on 11/13/2016 Gregory Porter - Be Good all files are "created: on 11/1/2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37272 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Make sure it's date created that you're checking because windows explorer by default shows date modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verified that those are the "created" dates. Modified dates are 11/15 for Lady Gaga and 11/1 (yes, its the same as "created" date) for Gregory Porter Edited November 17, 2016 by vmcosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8361 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Is that the same date as found in the "album.nfo" date added field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmcosco 19 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Is that the same date as found in the "album.nfo" date added field? Yes, for both albums the Date Created file stamp matches the Date Added line in the album.nfo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmcosco 19 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Any thoughts on how I might remedy this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37272 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Try using the metadata manager to look at the date added value for each of the songs in the albums. that's the value that it's sorting on. if you spot a value that you think isincorrect, then we can try to look at how it got there.

I ticked through all of the songs for albums that should be showing up in "Latest Music". The latest music section seems to dependent on whether the album was listened to. I know this was refuted earlier, but this is why I say that... In my screenshot above, Gregory Porter - Be Good is the first album "Latest". At the time of that screenshot, I had not yet listened to that album in its entirety. Since then, I have listened to the full album and now Gregory Porter - Be Good is no longer showing in Latest Music. Foo Fighters - St Cecelia (previously listed second) is now first. I am happy to do any testing you would like. I am actually going to listen to one of the albums now just to see if it drops off of latest when it is done.

vmcosco 19 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Just listened to Foo Fighters - St Cecilia which was listed on "Latest Music". I can confirm that after listening to the whole album, it is no longer showing in "Latest Music". I can also confirm that the "Latest Music" section is controlled by the "Hide watched content from latest media" setting. I unchecked that box, and the "Latest Music" shows up as expected (matches Albums sorted by date added). Is this the intended behavior?. Also, interestingly, unchecking that box seemed to limit the albums showing up to 4 from the previous 7.

Luke 37272 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 That's not how most people expect a music library to operate so that's why we don't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostByte 5061 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 For people who only buy a couple CDs at a time maybe that would be great, but if you add a bunch of new albums you might want the ones you listened to to disappear so your other new albums show up. It seems like there is a Display Setting for most other media types to hide after watching/listening except Music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
