Richard Branches 242 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Music playback needs some little tweaking to improve the way music is reproduced: 1) Skipped songs SHOULD NOT be marked as "Recently Played" unless they reach a minimum playback percentage (perhaps a 50%), I guess the server could calculate this based on the total time of each individual track at the moment they start playback. 2) the "Frequently Played" row MUST start to fill up when songs were at least played twice. If you agree, please upvote this comment. Thank you. Edited March 20, 2021 by Richard Branches 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Branches 242 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 What do you think about point # 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37389 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think you can argue that either way. On the one hand it makes sense. On the other if you're brand new to Emby, seeing content show up there immediately will help educate you about it and encourage you to play more.

On the other hand, if I only see a few songs there, it means those are the ones I really like to repeat when searching for them manually or let it play (as long as point # 1 applies) each time they show up when I start a shuffle playback...

Richard Branches 242 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) For example, you have 10.000 songs and you only play them using shuffle playback, the first time you start to play music and spend some time listening to 200 songs without skipping, those 200 songs will be marked as "play count = 1". The next time you start a new shuffle playback and any of those previous 200 songs play again: 1) If you skip a song before playback reaches the minimum playback percentage, the song will keep the "play count = 1" mark, which means, it shouldn't appear in the "Frequently Played" row. 2) If you skip a song after playback reaches the minimum playback percentage (or let the song to play from start to finish), the song will be marked as "play count = 2" which means, it should automatically appear in the "Frequently Played" row.

Richard Branches 242 Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) The "Frequently Played" row should always present the songs with the most frequently played song at the top of the list (descending order).

That's what it already does. It just doesn't have a minimum play count rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Branches 242 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Perfect, I though it didn't, I just hope you add the play count rule. Thank you for your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
