Bug: Deleting an item from the library does not delete it from the Recently Played list

Answered
Martin K.

App version 4.6.0 and before (in any controller app, not just iOS):

As the title says: you can delete an item - after playing it - from your library and even after reindexing the library it stays in the Recently Played list. If it is a single track, you can still select the "Go to album" option in this list and the app will respond with a "Couldn't Load Content".

I did not find a way to get rid of those items in the Recently Played list.

    Hi Martin

    Your Index is located on the Player itself while recently played is cached separately. Not sure why you would want to select an album you know is deleted but Couldn't Load Content is a reasonable response since the content does not exist anymore. The recently played list will self prune over time.

    We do apologise for the inconvenience.

    Maybe the workaround in another conversation applies here also: https://support1.bluesound.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/26633809416727

    I didn't try this myself, so no guarantees.

    @Tony: 
    I don't know what you mean with "your index", but the library is centrally stored as is the recently played list, because I can change controllers and still have the same library and recently played list. You wrote: "Not sure why you would want to select an album you know is deleted" - please think outside the box: there might be others also using the system who are irritated not knowing that the item was actually deleted. 

    @Alain:
    Thanks for trying to help, but it's not such a big issue that I would throw away the index and start over, which is always time consuming with a library > 80.000 tracks.

    I thought there was only a simple db statement missing after reindexing the library: "DELETE track FROM recently_played_list WHERE track NOT IN (SELECT ALL tracks FROM library)".

    Hi Martin

    If you are not rebuilding the index, it will remain as a Reindex does not purge. It would be best to do so.

    Hi Tony,

    I know that it does not purge, but do you understand that this behaviour might cause irritation in some situation?

    In other words: I'm not writing about my findings and a possible solution to insult anybody (every software has bugs), but to help to improve the system.
