Refresh Home Music Share DLNA

[r5yk5]

Using Asset upnp as an example.

Previously when I would browse to the "Jukebox Album Selection" in the tree it would show me 20 random albums. Then I could go back a step, choose "Jukebox Album Selection" again and it would show me 20 different random albums and so on and so forth. Since a recent WHA update it just shows me the same 20 albums, even if I force stop WHA and clear the cache.

This also effects other aspects of Asset and other servers. For example, if I add an album to a collection in Emby, when I go into that collection via Home Music Share, the new album does not appear. But it used to.

I'm guessing a recent update has changed the WHA so that it caches requests to a server and rather than re-requesting every time, now it just shows the previous results. I imagine this has great benefits in terms of speed when browsing and load on the app and server; and I'm all for that. This doesn't effect playlists as there is a refresh button on the top left, which can be used to manually request the new list when it changes.



See the screenshot above just below my 96% battery sign. Could we include that globally within home music share so that other changeable aspects of (whichever) server can be manually requested?

I have raised a ticket.

I can't comment on the Jukebox thing as I don't know what it is.

Regarding the reflection of changes to the library, I assume you have performed a server rescan of the library?
In the WHA you may have to start browsing from the root., i.e. go back to 'Home Music Share' --> <Your Server> --> etc.

If you are using the Advanced Mode in the WHA you need to initiate a rescan of this in WHA in addition to the server rescan.

It is odd that it's only available inside containers with tracks e.g. playlists, folders and albums.

I’d bug report it - I tried mConnect and it still refreshes the list. It does seem to be WiiM home app instance specific as my iPad and android phone show different lists which I can’t force to change even if I clear app cache or reboot my WiiM.

Yes, why not have it available everywhere?

I have, sometimes it's so difficult to explain what I mean. We get there in the end though, usually.
