Title: Inconsistent view selection when using MCWS/v1/Browse/Files
Post by: mattkhan on October 17, 2021, 05:10:52 pm
This is a longstanding issue (i.e. many versions old) which I had not raised previously for no good reason

I use this MCWS call to start playback, i.e. I add Action=Play as a parameter

This has rather inconsistent behaviour with respect to which view is used when play starts, intermittently it launches in the theatre view playing now view despite this being a view I have never used for any purpose at any time.

Is there anything that would explain why it behaves like this? alternatively is there a way to specify exactly which view to use? for example, should I send some command to tell it to switch to display view first?
