Large "Now Playling" List Crashing (Samsung S8) [#15198]
Posted: Mon Nov 05, 2018 2:11 am
Hello all,
I'm currently using the Beta app (latest update, I believe) on Samsung S8 (Android 8.0), and have the full, purchased version. My library has about 25,000 songs in it, which I realise is rather big.
If I'm browsing through 'tracks', and accidentally select a song, inevitably this ends up with a Now Playing list of 25,000 and perhaps understandably, this causes MediaMonkey Android to lose the plot slightly, and it simply won't play the song. (Although I'm not sure if it is normal that MediaMonkey cannot play a playlist that long - although I've found it struggled too with an Auto-Playlist that had 11,000, but had no problems with that many previously; again, perhaps this is due to the large library).
So aside from now being able to handle a large playlist, the issue comes in trying then to play anything else - e.g. a selected album. I can browse my library fine, but cannot play anything - presumably because 'Now Playing' is still trying to process all the songs that had been accidentally selected before. Closing the app, clearing the cache or even resetting the phone does nothing to remedy it.
So I'm not sure if this is a bug (e.g. large library), or a feature request; but:
(a) Could there be a way to clear 'Now Playing' - e.g. by pressing a button in options;
(b) A way to select the default option (much like in the Windows version), so that those of us who wish to can have the default to be just to add that one selected track, and not every track in a playlist/album/artist list? - e.g. If I'm browsing tracks, and I click 'Like a Virgin' by Madonna, only that track is added to 'Now Playling' and not the entire list of songs?
I'm aware that long-pressing the track enables you to add the selected track(s) to Now Playing, rather than the whole list, but it's the accidental click of a song that clears 'Now Playing' and thus selects the whole, massive list that I'm really having an issue with.
Many thanks for such a great app and your continued work, I'd be lost without it!
