Update: yes, indeed Media player lists m3u playlist files in "All Songs" view so suffling into one of them feels weird since a full album is played.

I have this a lot since display service and reflash of 1.0.8.19.

sdcard has about 20 gigs of music. I select all songs and give media player a few minutes to 'load' all of them and then I select suffle mode playback.

After a while the suffle mode seems to get stuck on an artist or album or playlist. Just had an hour of Metallica Death Magnetic. I can't believe I was so lucky with randomness.

Pressing pause on music player cover does not help, but pressing next button cures this and real random playback continues.

Nope, it's just a bug. Maybe playlists have something to do with it, like some of them them being counted into "All songs". That would explain this.

Just confirmed my suspicion: Media player lists also m3u files in "All Songs" view. This feels odd since they are playlist files which should not be there, IMO.

Copied an know m3u file to a funny name on jolla and refreshed All Songs view, and search finds this funny file name there.

So a small but clear bug.

And bug seems to be in tracker instead of jolla-mediaplayer:

$ tracker-sparql -q "SELECT ?mime
WHERE { 
?song a nmm:MusicPiece ;
    nie:isStoredAs ?as .
 ?as nie:url ?url ;
 nie:mimeType ?mime .
}"| sort | uniq

  audio/flac
  audio/mpeg
  audio/x-mpegurl
  audio/x-ms-wma
  audio/x-vorbis+ogg
  audio/x-wav
 Results:
  video/x-flv

This corresponds to the "All songs" list in jolla-mediaplayer, and these mime entries do not belong to there: audio/x-mpegurl, video/x-flv.

I've had a bunch of recorded flv video files on sdcard and sometimes they were played in music player. How weird is that...

@mcfrisk: Please see my answer with *.pls playlist files.

Can you see/find your m3u playlist files also below "Albums" or "Artists"?

You could generalize your title and tags than.

A hackish fix for this issue, including the problem where jolla-mediaplayer plays flv videos. The fix uses hints from #tracker irc channel to filter nmm:MusicPiece output with MIME types, though the mime types reported by tracker are weird since ogg Vorbis files could/should also be known with application/ogg and maybe even audio/ogg too. Anyway, this works for me:

Thanks for leaving these things open for hacking. I actually enjoyed it.

Patch still needed in 1.1.1.26. I can't use the music player without this.

This patch applies to 1.1.2.16 too.

When will Jolla sailors apply this?

Also *.pls playlist files are listed below "All songs" but also below "Albums" and "Artists" as "Unknown album" and "Unknown artists".

The shown playtime of my *.pls playlist file entries is 00:00.

If I try to start such a playlist file entry from "All songs", "Albums" or "Artists" sub pages than Media app crashes.

My *.pls playlist files contain audio streaming URLs. The playlists are playable from the Media app main page without problems.

I've checked with latest version and the playlists problem (m3u, pls) should be fixed.

However, "video/x-flv" are still listed.
