Hi,
I'm using a playlist for my radio stations (43).
When, let's say, the first entry is playing and I scroll through the playlist till the end, as from the moment I stop scrolling, the playlist view jumps back to the playing entry.
Q: Is there a way to disable this behavior? In other words, the playlist view doesn't automatically reposition itself at the playing entry?
Thanks,
Kurt

I'm not able to repro that issue. When I scroll to the end of a long Queue it just sits there until metadata for the currently playing item changes, then the Queue is automatically scrolled to make that item visible.

I’m away from home ATM but “until metadata … changes” sounds like a clue.

I checked the station in debug mode and it transmits a metadata block every couple seconds. This is a broadcaster issue.
Your best bet is to find an alternative to this station

None of the 240 built in moode stations have this metatada issue so I'd say it's definitely not normal for metadata to be transmitted every few seconds when nothing has changed. It's likely some sort of problem with the broadcasters streaming config.
They may not even be aware it's happening.

There's of course the workaround to stop the playing the radio station before scrolling. By doing this, the metadata doesn't get updated and no jump back. Although, this is somewhat inconvenient.
