Title: Recently Played seems to be missing tracks I know I played
Post by: jaynyc on July 11, 2014, 06:20:25 am

Hi, long time JRiver user here.  Confused about Recently Played.  I know for a fact I played a few tracks the other day, and they are not showing up in the list.  What are the requirements for a track to appear?  Does it have to just be played/started , or does it have to finished completely, or if 30 seconds plays?
I often skip around in tracks, and sometimes skip ahead if the last 10 seconds have silence or other boring trail outs.

MC doesn't count a file as played, or increment the counter, until at least 50% of the file was played.  If you want to build your own trigger with different rules, you can:

if I told you I know for sure I played more than 50% of a track and it doesn't appear,  what could be the cause(s) of that?

I've had many tracks show up as "never played" when I have previously played them.  Don't know what causes this or how to reload the informaton including date last played.  It's not a date thing because other files are never affected.

It happens frequently.

The program should track the Last Played date.  Can you reproduce playing a file and that field not updating?

Title: Matt, what happens with me is they update....

at the time and then will disappear at some point (don't know if at happens at update time or not) and show never played.  I have many files that have stayed correct since I started using Media Center (2012), while others just lose the info.

I scrobble to Last FM and can get the info there and also proves the playback.  Plus, I know from my own memory that files have been played even though they, at some point, have reverted to "never played".

I wish I could help you more.
