| Summary | 0000420: Playing Multiple Tracks from Explorer --> Incorrect Now Playing list | ||||
| Description | There are 2 (possibly related) issues: 1) User selects multiple tracks in Explorer, right clicks 'Play in Songs-DB' --> Only one track from the selection is played (none of the others are added to the 'Now Playing' list). Note: It seems to be random which track, of those selected, is added to the 'Now Playing' list. 2) User selects multiple tracks in Explorer, right clicks 'Play Next in Songs-DB' or 'Play Last in Songs-DB' --> the tracks are added to the Now Playing list, but not in the same order in which the user had viewed them in Explorer (I'm not sure what the order is). Both of these issues should be resolved for the release. | ||||

It is more complicated, running more than one file doesn't work in the simple mechanism commonly used, it doesn't work under Win XP at all (tested e.g. with Media Jukebox). It is necessary to implement it in a bit different way (see e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_basics/shell_basics_extending/fileassociations/fa_verbs.asp) This comment is mainly for me. |

It is also possible to: - Add Songs-DB to the context sub-menu "Open with..." - Create own context menu handler (like Media Jukebox has). |
|
|
Fixed in build 532. - Works for Win XP (tested) using its new interface to the shell. - Works for earlier Windows versions (tested on Win 98) using the same trick as Winamp uses (waiting a little for next command line before the command is executed). |

Tested in 532 and it's working nicely. The only thing that we should improve at some point in the future is to have the tracks appear in the now playing list in the order in which they appear to the user in Explorer. Re-opening as a 'normal' priority issue. |

Note: according to users, this issue had been resolved in MM 3.x (although some users indicated that running as Admin was required to solve the problem). http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=37793 |
