Title: help with gizmo views, press and hold at any level, and play in order?
Post by: HTPC4ME on May 28, 2014, 12:59:46 pm

i need help with setting up my gizmo views, when i go to Ratings for example in gizmo, then chose genres, and if i press and hold on (Genre Relaxing) gizmo loads all the files in shuffled mode. if i go further then genres to artists, then i press on letter C then i press and hold down on Cat Stevens, gizmo take all the albums, and tracks and plays them shuffled.

how can i set up all my views so that when i press and hold at any level, Gizmo will play those remaining files in order by album track number?

Thanks in advance

Increase your Sort by depth.  ie, put Artist and Album on top of Track # for example.

I have a preset saved of Album Artist (Auto) -> Album -> Descriptions -> Disc # -> Track #

just to clarify. in my screenshot show categories in this order does work. if i click on (Genres relaxing) it shows all artists A-Z, then if i click all artists it shows all artists in order, then it will show all of that artists albums by year, and in there all tracks are in order.

its just when i press and hold to play that they get all shuffled in the playing now of that zone im controlling.

2 more questions if i may,

i have it set now when i press and hold on an artist it will play all their albums, is there a command i can insert so that it plays those albums by year (newest to oldest)? instead of alphabetically.

i have a recently imported view, what would i insert in sort by, to keep the recently imported views but by album (Albums by recently imported)? when i insert your rules artist, album, track # it removes the recently imported ability.

Thanks

In your Sort by list, Add... -> Z-A -> Date above Album.

For this one Add... -> Z-A -> Date Imported above Album.
