Shuffle on album level

[Tim Curtis]

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.

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

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
