Summary	0013389: Now Playing: Improve handling of previously played tracks
Description	1. Currently if Retain previous tracks setting is other than ALL MM will remove any listed tracks when clicked to play any track in the middle of playlist even they are not played before. This should be triggered only on Played# increase and ignored on Skip Count Increase or user manually execute Play Now. 2. There is no option to Delete Currently playing track after Played# is increased. This is especially useful when in Party Mode and shuffle is enabled or when Retain is set to non ALL settings and shuffle is enabled which will essentially clear all tracks from Now playing as they are played until now playing contains only number of tracks set in Retain previous tracks. To obtain such behavior we should add [X] Automatically remove played tracks
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build	2812

rusty 2016-11-17 19:31 administrator ~0046183	The point you make is a good one, but it's more generic than what you describe; the question is whether the Now Playing list should, for tracks prior to the currently playing track, include tracks that have been played OR all tracks in the list. This issue is also discussed at 0000023 where a similar issue is raised: that when Shuffle is active, the user can't see the previously played tracks in the NP list. The suggestion 1. that you make would be consistent with an approach that only stores recently played tracks in the NP list, however, I'm not sure: a) whether this is an approach that we want to take as it could be confusing in other ways b) whether it should be a priority at this time. Consequently I'm pushing this to reduced priority.

peke 2023-08-17 22:52 developer ~0072648	Current implementation in 0018988 makes this behavior obsolete because in case Retain Played tracks is set to anything other than ALL eg. 1. In 2812+ Set retain tracks to 1 and enable shuffle. 2. MM will actively and correctly remove tracks from now playing.
