1343: Album Art Browser empty on open tab [#7185 7206 7207]

[Lowlander]

The Album Art browser shows no content when in the Album Art Browser with Details view in the Now Playing. If the Album Art Browser isn't meant to work in the Now Playing node it should be disabled as view option.

Tested on skinned 1343 on XP

Can anyone else reproduce?

Same here. Blank in Vista (x64). And when I switch back to the artist & album tab that's in art browser view it only shows the first album and I can't scroll through the rest of my albums.

I'm assuming it shouldn't be available in the Now Playing node. This view is also not remembered when navigating away from the Now Playing node. The Track Browser is also enabled to be enabled/disabled, yet it doesn't show.

You're issue of going back to Artist and Album Artist tab and not having the Album Art Browser is something I can't reproduce.

(1344) Well actually the art browser is still there but only shows the one album. For example when I'm browsing through my collection by genre, say Black Metal, all my black metal albums are there so I can scroll through them in the art browser. I then switch to my Now Playing tab for whatever reason and than switch back to the genre tab with art browser enabled and now only one album is in the art browser window where I can't scroll all the other albums I have under black metal. I have to refresh the list to get all the albums in that genre back where I can scroll through them again. It's only two extra clicks but then after I have to remember what album I had open under art browser because it defaults back to the first album alphabetically.
By the way, if I read this post I'd be completely lost, shoot I'm lost just rereading it and I know what I'm trying to say! So sorry if it's confusing!

I can't reproduce:
1) Select a Genre
2) Make sure Album Art Browser is enabled
3) Click on Now Playing node
4a) Use back button or,
4b) Click on the same Genre previously selected

In either case all Albums are shown in the Album Art Browser for the selected Genre node. Are you maybe using the unskinned MediaMonkey?

1)Open MM with no other tabs open, click on Artist & Album Artist in the Tree
2) Enable Art Browser with details
3) click + to open a new tab, doesn't matter what it is.
4) now go back to the first tab and only one album is visible with now way to scroll through the albums in the art browser unless you click another node in the tree to refresh the art browser.

Basically everytime I switch tabs and go back to the original it only shows one album. Who knows, maybe I'm the only one or maybe thats what it's supposed to do??? (OR maybe I just got used to Monkey Flow!) Either way, whatever it is it's doing this on both my laptop (x64)Vista and desktop (x86) XP SP3 with 1344. Again not that big a deal, if I am the only one I'll try fresh installs of MM.
And thanks lowlander for taking a look at this!

Those are very different steps then previously described and this I can reproduce.

And actually the new tab already has this issue as it still has the Artist & Album Artist node highlighted, but only shows the first Album. Furthermore the tab title is incorrect as it shows Artist & Album Artist instead of Music/Artist & Album Artist.

Hey thanks for the update, and I would apologize for my poor english on trying to explain the issue, but alas.... english is my first language!

7185 and 7206 have been fully fixed, 7207 is partially fixed as the issue still exists on the new tab.
