Play queue no longer working with Amazon Music after updating to BluOS 4.0

Jeffrey Lock

After updating the firmware on my Node 2i to 4.0.2 and the BluOS app on my iPhone to Version 4.0.0, the play queue no longer populates with Amazon Music playlists or albums.  I can seemingly only play one song at a time from Amazon.  The autofill feature is turned on.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?  If so, any known fix for it?  The play queue works fine when playing albums in my library (files stored on a NAS attached to my home network).

    Hello, I am not 100% certain but I think you are describing the same problem that I have...
    Before the update BluOS used to behave like this: when I clicked a song it started playing (it is still doing this) AND all the songs that had previously been in the queue remained in the queue (it is NOT doing that anymore).
    I think this was a very desirable behaviour because it enabled the user to create a "currently playing" playlist really quickly by only clicking the desired songs.

    In order to achieve the same behaviour now, one would have to click on the first desired song and then subsequently always use the context menu (three dots) to keep adding songs to the queue. Which is a PITA to be quite frank....

    Question: was this change done by design or is it a bug in the latest release?

    Thanks!

    Thanks, I know that. But that is not what I am talking about. I want to add single songs from all over the place (single songs from different playlists for example).
    The question is not whether the behaviour changed (I know it did!) but whether it was intentional and whether we can expect the old (and IMO much better!) behaviour to return in a future update....

    No, I am not talking about Autofill. And it is also not true, that Autofill is not working with Amazon. I just tested it.

    The thing is: I do not want autofill. I just want single songs to be added to the queue by clicking the item ONCE. So the queue keeps growing click by click. Just like it used to be before the update...

    Hi Neuromancer

    Please check out https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000204487 to see how Replace Queue is now the default action when selecting music.

    Thank you, Seppi.  Your suggestion works for me!

    For me with Amazon Music, Autofill doesn't work via my iPhone. I have turned it on in settings/playback and tried restarting the app. It works as intended on my Mac, and I like it. I can go into the album tracks, pick one, and the rest of the album plays from there.

    I have the Node X and have same problem with Amazon Music and Autofill no longer working on my Apple tablet. I was going to uninstall the app and reinstall it but as  others have the same issue it seems pointless.

    Hi Cam

    Our QA is investigating an issue where for some reason the Amazon API may be mis-interpreting Autofill and is not populating the queue - but on Amazon only. We hope to resolve as quickly as possible... sounds counter-intuitive but try turning AutoFill OFF...  at least until we can resolve it.
