One step play from media server playlist? [#20286]

[MightyPG]

Hi...

I've been using MMPro for Android for a couple of months now, and I find the UI around the play queue a little clumsy. I am able to replace play queues easily for locally stored playlists, but playing remotely is a little bit clunky. If I pull up my Media Server, and go to Playlists, I can see all of the playlists on my main machine, but rather than being able to click the "Play shuffled" button I get on other playlist views, I have to select the first song, then use the "select all" icon, then go into the ... menu and add them to the playlist, then go to the playlist and start playing, and it will naturally want to start with the first track. Would it be possible to get a one-button "play shuffled" feature like for local playlists?

Hi,
Long tap options on playlists are on our to do as this involves workarounds for DLNA standard.

To explain on DLNA When MMA query playlists it gets only names not stats on its content (eg. like Track count and track listing). To get that MMA needs to request playlist content and requesting multiple contents too quickly on some servers makes MMA get blacklisted/blocked. Above To-Do should address that and make it possible.
