Individual Location shows files from all locations

Post by REB »

Hi,

I have two locations set up for my music. One is a SSD hard drive set up as a NAS via a Raspberry Pi which holds all my ripped CDs etc, and the other is a portable NVME 32GB SSD that I use in my car. When I go to a particular location, say the 32GB drive, and select an album to view, I see the tracks for both locations and not just the ones for that particular location.

I've no idea if this by design or whether I'm missing a setting somewhere (I've looked), but I can't believe that this is correct. I'm running the 5.1.0.2814 version in portable mode.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

How do see an Album from a particular location. Please detail exact steps to go from Location to Album.

Hi,

I have scanned two locations, as stated above. If I navigate to Location/CAR Music (my 32GB drive), I see a list of all the folders on that drive.

If I then select a folder from that list, and navigate to the album listing, I see two entries for each title on the album. One entry for Car Music and another for MyNAS (my desktop storage as detailed earlier. Obviously, this only applies to albums that are on both drives.

Here's a screenshot showing what I mean. The top of the page shows the path to the tracks (CAR MUSIC/Celine Dion/A New Day Has Come), and below you can see two entries for each title. You can see from the properties window that the highlighted file points to MYNAS

If you need anything else, please ask.

Cheers.

It's the View you're using. As you expand the Album it shows files on the Album (thus from all locations). If you were to use the List View, you'd only see the files in that Location.

Thanks, Lowlander, I've had a play with the View settings and have managed to set it so that it makes more sense (to me anyway).

Thanks again.
