I use the built in scraper so this really isn't a solution for me... XBMC Commander works so this must be a bug.
Archigos Wrote:I haven't experienced this issue myself, but I think I remember someone talking about it a few pages back and someone else asked if the 'missing' movies had an nfo or were just scraped by XBMC (normal scraper). I think the end result was the person removed the movie in XBMC, made sure a valid (or newer) nfo was available/created, rescraped in XBMC and it was fine in Constellation on the next sync.
When you go into the "Files" section, you're essentially doing single files (audio, video, or image) which is why it doesn't automatically continue the playlist. I admit I don't use XBMC much for music, so I just created two new smart playlists to test this and you're right, there doesn't appear to be an easy way currently for full playlist playing (at least that I found) but as a temporary solution is when you're in the view you mention above, you can press the play button on the first song in your list and queue up the other songs by pressing on their name and touching the button next to play (the plus sign with lines). I know it's not ideal since you have to select each song you want. I know everyone's listening habits are different, but you can utilize the party mode rather easy in Constellation by touching "Playlist" instead of "Files" and then touch "Party" at the bottom to auto-start a random selection (again, I know it's not what you asked for, but just pointing it out if you didn't notice before).
I'm kind of glad the playlist issue was brought up now since we're still going through this round of beta testing and it allows the possibility of the feature being added sooner. I just submitted a feature request to the developers while writing this post, but please don't take this comment as a guarantee it'll be in the next version as it might take some time, especially with them being as busy as they are.
@Everyone:
As I've said before, I have no problems with users sending me messages for support on Constellation, but please use the normal PM system on the forums and not 'via email'. Also, please note that if I get multiple people asking essentially the same thing, I may comment directly in the forum or add the question(s) to the FAQS section for Constellation on the Wiki in my signature (I'll obviously withhold personal details) for everyone's benefit.
