Are you using Baloo? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Are you using Baloo? No, I don't. If it's required though, maybe an inline hint would be useful (maybe also with a cool drawing in the center to make it look less empty. :_P) Indeed, I believe this does not work without Baloo. Maybe we should hide those views when Baloo is not in use. > Indeed, I believe this does not work without Baloo. Maybe we should hide

I tried it on a laptop, where I have installed Manjaro as well but with Baloo enabled. I played few radios and then copied mp3s to ~/Music, which I played. None if it appears in the mentioned sections.
I'd also wonder what Baloo actually has to do with these sections: Shouldn't the recently played and often played section not be completely managed by Elisa?
Also eg Baloo doesn't know anything about the readio streams and such.
Works fine for me regardless of whether the indexer is set to Baloo or directly scanning the file system. Can anyone still reproduce? Also I don't think this data was ever read or written to/from the files on disk, only the database so I don't see how this could be Baloo specific. Yeah what was I thinking, this should work fine without Baloo and it does for me. Postix, can you still reproduce the issue? I haven't used Elisa for a very long time now but I fired version 23.04.2 up to check: 1) Dragged and dropped a bunch of songs into a Elisa (awesome that this works now!) 2) Played a short a song completely 3) Let it play another song However, unfortunately the "often" and "recently" played section stay empty. Are there any other conditions required? Yes, I believe that Elisa only stores statistics for files that are indexed. Since you are dragging and dropping, I'm guessing your songs are not in a directory that is being indexed by Elisa. Is that so?

Is that so? Indeed. I dropped music from a subfolder which is supposed to be indexed, though Elisa is still indexing other folders first. When I tested it with already indexed music, it worked. So I'd expect things I drag and drop to be indexed directly and with absolute priority. Otherwise it's confusing. |
