filename "NAS/Music" as the filter string

Hi Tim, that would, theoretically, be the same as having no filter; it would need to be:
filename “NAS/Music/Rock”
but unfortunately it doesn’t work anyway.

Thats because the quotes in that string are backquotes. IIRC this can happen when copy/paste from certain apps.

filename “NAS/Music/Rock”

You’ve lost me there. I’ve not heard of back quotes before. I haven’t been copying and pasting from your instructions; I’ve been typing the entries into the Tag filter field.

I am on 8.3.9 still, noticed that:
1. filename for me is not an option... I have path, OTOH
2. whatever you enter as the path, anyway, is getting converted to lowercase (as I can see on the bar:

Filtered by Folder: "usb/spare 4/music/@/65daysofstatic"

But the path should be:

USB/Spare 4/Music/ etc. etc.

Are you talking about the same thing as Tim and I?

Very odd.

Other ways to verify the string is correct:

1. Examine the value of "File path" in Audio info for example

Code:
NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/The Yes Album/01 Yours Is No Disgrace.flac

Then perform an mpc search

Code:
pi@moode9:~ $ mpc search filename "NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes"

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/01 Roundabout.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/02 Cans And Brahms.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/03 We Have Heaven.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/04 South Side Of The Sky.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/05 Five Per Cent For Nothing.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/06 Long Distance Runaround.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/07 The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/08 Mood For A Day.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/09 Heart Of The Sunrise.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/10 America.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/Fragile/11 Roundabout [Early Rough Mix].flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/The Yes Album/01 Yours Is No Disgrace.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/The Yes Album/02 The Clap.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/The Yes Album/03 Starship Trooper.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/The Yes Album/04 I've Seen All Good People.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/The Yes Album/05 A Venture.flac

NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes/The Yes Album/06 Perpetual Change.flac

pi@moode9:~ $

2. Enter the exact same search string as the Auto-shuffle Tag filter.

Code:
filename filename "NAS/TRX-FLAC/Yes"

It should only shuffle the tracks (or albums) corresponding to the mpc search results

Tim, I’ve followed your instructions, but I’m afraid it still doesn’t work. (I was amazed by how quickly it read through 850 albums).

I can now say no. But maybe the root cause is the same?

Hi Tim, that would, theoretically, be the same as having no filter; it would need to be:

The quotes need to be straight double quotes. On my mac I have disabled smart quotes, so they are not replaced automagically.
You don't need to match from the start, so you can skip NAS/blah
I also found that the filter value can be used without the double quotes, even when it contains a /
This will do what you want, unless you have more shares or directories matching Music/Rock

Code:
filename /Music/Rock/

This shows the different types of quotes
