Ordering of downloaded music

[DoUEvenComputer 1]

I'm new to Emby and I could be using the download feature wrong but..

 

I like to have music downloaded to my device to listen to while offline and I've used the Download feature to do this on my iPhone. I noticed that once downloaded to my device, all of the tracks in an album are ordered by the file date rather than by track number, which seems like an obvious default.

 

Is there anyway to order downloaded tracks by anything other than file creation date on the server?

Hi there, what version of Emby Server are you running?

Hi there, what version of Emby Server are you running?

I'm running Emby 4.3.1.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS. It was a fresh install as of last week, I do have some plugins installed though. I could reinstall to check if this is how iOS app track ordering exists out of the box.

I reinstalled everything from scratch just to be sure:

- New Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS install (virtual machine)

- Add entries to /etc/fstab to mount cifs volumes containing media

- Install Emby server: https://emby.media/linux-server.html (4.3.1.0)

- Configure Emby, setup Music library with the source mounted above

 

On my iPhone XR

- Deleted iOS Emby app, re-downloaded from App store (Emby for iOS 1.9.3)

- Connect to above Emby server

- Browse above music library by artist, press on artist to display albums

- Press and hold on album, select "Download"

- Press on Downloads icon on bottom bar > Music library > Album name

- The track listing appears out of order, but reflects the order if I list files in the directory ordering by date

 

if I browse to the same album through My Media, the track listing is by track number as expected. It's only in "Downloads" that the ordering is by original file date.

Ok thanks, we'll look into this.

Hi,

 

i have the same problem. Not only for the music, also for the downloaded audiobook.

[Luke 42078]

Do you see this with new downloads?

[paddy75 16]

yes

[Luke 42078]

OK we're looking into this. Please try again with the next update to the app. Thanks.

The issue I described is fixed in Emby for iOS 1.9.6
