Playlist limited to First 200 items

[Spaceboy 2573]

Hi, i started creating some music playlists today and noticed that only the first 200 items are displayed and there doesnt seem to be an option to page to the next list. i can see that they are still being added to the playlist.xml and in android i can see the number of items which is greater than 200 but it only lists the first 200. same in the web client

 

stable server Version 3.0.5946.22772

cheers

and also but separately any tracks with an & cause the playlist to not be read beyond that point

 I have seen this issue in another thread awhile back, but the fix was to up the number viewed from 100 to 200.  You used to be able to scroll through your list, but that was taken away.  I have 2000+ songs in my one Rock playlist alone and hope scrolling playlist gets added back at some point. 

 

Like you said the clients (I use the Windows and Samsung apps mainly for music) can see all songs past 200 songs except the webclient.  Which makes it difficult to manage playlists because only the webclient allows me to do things like delete songs.

As a temporary solution you can try editing playlistmanager.js which is located inside of install-dir\System\dashboard-ui\scripts\ to change the number of items displayed. I haven't edited this script myself, but have changed others to remove the 100 item limit to movies, etc.

        if (!pageData) {
            pageData = data[key] = {
                query: {
                    Fields: "PrimaryImageAspectRatio,SyncInfo",
                    EnableImageTypes: "Primary,Backdrop,Banner,Thumb",
                    StartIndex: 0,
                    Limit: 200
                },
                view: LibraryBrowser.getSavedView(key) || LibraryBrowser.getDefaultItemsView('List', 'List')
            };

NOTE: You will have to repeat this whenever the server updates as the edited script will be rewritten.

Thanks Pais, I found that code in playlistedit.js and changed limit to something really high.  Will test it out now

Heh, well I got a warning about a long running script, but it worked.  I guess 2100 is a lot of songs to pull into memory at once.   Hopefully scrolling a set amount of songs at a time can be re-added back. 

 

Thanks again Pais

 

Edit: actually I think it slowed down the whole managing of playlists.  Everything I do within the playlist is really slow now.  Oh well, at least I can manage the list now

also i found that in the windows app you can see more than 200 tracks

[Spaceboy 2573]

does anyone know if it plays tracks beyond the 200th?

[FrostByte 5392]

Using the Windows store app it lists all 2000+ songs in my playlist.  I usually use shuffle and it randomly selects songs from the whole playlist.  The Win app doesn't manage playlists though and the webclient cannot delete songs past 200 (without the modification above) of course.

 

Edit: I've played songs past 200 in the webclient also before, I just prefer not to use the webclient to play music because it transcodes everything
