play on sends music and tvshow playlist shuffled

[bwaddington]

Describe the bug
scince 10.3 when trying play on it sends music and tvshow playlist shuffled to kodi but if you play on web browser thier all in order. same with collections click to play the collection and it shuffles the playlist to kodi.
when ever i select a music track it palys a diffrent track in that album also if you click play it dosnt play from the start of the album and this is with both kodi and browser

im using firefox 66.0.5 (64-bit), Kodi version 18.2 with angelblue05 10.1.0

10.3.4 release still not fixed i click to play ss01e01 and get s06e18, same with music click track 1 get track 10

10.3.5 still sending all play lists shuffled to kodi

[dkanada]

10.3.5 was a hotfix release and wouldn't have affected this issue. This sounds like the kodi equivalent of a bug @cvium fixed a month or so ago with songs getting played out of order in the web client, but it could be something else.

[anthonylavado]

@dkanada Maybe this is the reason the backend sorted things, instead of relying on the front end to do so

EDIT: I wonder if this is caused by jellyfin/jellyfin#1011, which was reported in Web as jellyfin/jellyfin-web#169, fixed in jellyfin/jellyfin-web#171

This has been bothering me for a while too. I finally got around to test your theory @anthonylavado and it seems you're right. Reverting the changes made in jellyfin/jellyfin#1011 to MediaBrowser.Controller/Entities/Folder.cs has fixed the issue.

So how do you wanna handle this? As I understand there are some performance implications with sorting the list prior to returning it and as far as we now it only affects Kodi.

[cvium]

The solution is to fix it in Kodi as we did in the web client

[StillLoading]

Okay, makes sense. Should this issue be moved or reopened in the Kodi repository then ?

Issue confirmed with Jellyfin 10.3.7 & Kodi addon v0.2.1

[bwaddington]

is there any chance of this being fix at some point

[oddstr13]

It'll get fixed whenever someone with the time and skills required come along. I don't have much time for Jellyfin right now unfortunately.

Just as an update, I spent some time looking into this. Currently, it looks like we're blocked by the data we're receiving from the server itself.

The short version is that the server is sending out a list of item IDs that need to be played, but it's not providing any data on what order they should be played in. Once we work out a way around that we'll have a way forward with this

[bwaddington]

this could do with sorting i has been a while plus it has now stopped seeing thew firestick app too.

whats point of it if it does not work

[mcarlton00]

The fix for this needs to happen on the server. Currently there's no way for us to handle this locally. If you look at the linked issue in the server repo you'll see that it's being discussed.

There's zero interaction between Kodi and the Android TV app. If you're having an issue with that, you should discuss it over here

[TrueTechy]

Seems the latest version of the server should have the fix for this issue implemented. Can we re-check to see if it's still an issue in kodi?

[mcarlton00]

This is fixed upstream

Sorry for the bump - but I'm observing this behaviour on server 10.6.4, with the kodi client 0.7.1+py2 (running on libreelec).
Is there a config setting I should be applying for this to work?
