NEW: Play Doctor Play Button in Cloudplay
« on: August 02, 2019, 06:29:12 am »

In the latest release (25.0.88), you can search for an artist and use the new play button to the right of the search window to play a list that Play Doctor builds, so it will have more of the artist, depending on your Play Doctor settings.

This is playing only songs from cloudplay or also our personal library?

Still mixed results for me from last version report. Using PlayDoctor options, 100% Cloudplay/Some Variety, took quite a few tries to get 100% Cloudplay results. It finally kicked in and immediately plays a matching track from my hard drive (anything from mp3 to DSD64). The built list takes a few seconds and may be 100% Cloudplay or 100% from my hard drive regardless of the 100% Cloudplay setting.

An Artist or Album Artist search (selected from the drop down list) in either of the above scenarios returns a long list but almost none of the selected artist (1 - 2 tracks max) and these are different on different searches. Rules are are the default.

What version of MC?

The first track will be local for now.

If no match is found on Cloudplay, it may play local files.

Latest version 25.0.89, updated today. A local first track is no issue.

Both.  You can adjust the percentage.  Stop playback and click to the right of the Play Doctor search box.

I should point that per the tests reported above, I have pre-confirmed that there are lots of tracks on CloudPlay of the artist I am searching - Little Feat, Genesis, Beatles, etc.
