Clear Play History not working

[Big G]

Hi Tim,

I just installed 4.2 today and it looks great. I played around with it a bit before putting the sdcard in my 24/7 player. When I got finished testing, I clicked the "Clear playlist history" and nothing gets removed. Its not a real big issue....just thought I would let you know.

Also curious if 4.2 addresses the duplicates in the playlist history.

Thanks again for another GREAT update!!!

Hi Gary,

I looked in my notes and don't see any references to changing the Play history code but bugs and regressions can never be ruled out.

I'll investigate.

Hi Gary,

Just tested and it works on my end.

Take a look in the moode log and verify that the line below appears after clearing the log.

20180715 195046 worker: Job clearplayhistory

After clearing the Playhistory log the file below will have only a single line.

pi@rp3:~ $ cat /var/local/www/playhistory.log
20180715 195046 Log initialized

Hi Tim,

Its not clearing..... I have the log initialized line at the beginning and then the entire log. I tried it several more times and no go. I assume I can manually go in and delete everything except the initialize line and do the same. When I click the "Clear" button, the screen refreshes and seems like it does something, but everything is still in the file when I ssh into the Pi.

Thanks again,
Gary

Very odd.

You can try just deleting the file. It will be created afresh and initialized at the next reboot.

sudo rm /var/local/www/playhistory.log

Yep, its strange. I can remove the file, reboot and it gets created. Play a couple songs and click CLEAR and nothing is removed.

added....I run this in shuffle mode, just incase that makes any difference.

Tim,
A little more info I just discovered.....maybe it is a Firefox issue. I just tried clearing the playlist history from my Android phone and I got a confirmation box asking if I wanted to clear the playlist history. I am never seeing that confirmation box on Firefox. Once I selected YES, the list cleared as normal.

Hope this is helpful,
Gary

Yes, auto shuffle.....I forgot what the exact name was when I was typing that LOL

It shouldn't have any influence on clearing Playhistory but I'll try and repro and see what shakes.
