Setting to show track 1 of 9 (if 9 music files in folder, I mean)

Post by Roopid » Sat May 25, 2019 9:43 pm

On my old phone, if I start Neutron from a file manager with a single .flac file in a folder with 9 songs, Neutron shows track 1 of 9 and plays the whole album in track order.

Installing Neutron on my new phone (running LineageOS Android 7) I can't get it to do this. I have madr the setting to split by file system folders only, or folders and artists, etc. but starting Neutron from a file manager, it only plays one song. I have rescanned the MicroSD card without success.

Can anyone suggest where the correct setting is, please?

Work-around: downgraded to Neutron_1.97.4-ARM64.apk and it works as expected :-)

Does playing the folder from the library work ?

By the way: I wouldn't expect a music player to play a directory after having been started by a file manager and a song , I regard this as a feature in the actual version and a bug in the old version.
What happens when you let it play the directory, not the file ?

You could try to switch to folder mode.
What I mean : when the first song play, invoke the category-switch buttons

and press the folder button to the right

Then nmp shows the folder - perhaps it takes the hint :-)
