(For tracking purposes only) When selecting "Replace" in the DBBrowser, the music is stopped. Instead it should automatically start to play if the player was previously playing, or for easiness always start to play after a Replace action.
Created attachment 8283 Patch for starting playback after replacing the queue The fix seemed a bit obvious so I'm not sure if I completely missed anything here. Anyways, the attached patch simply starts playback after the queue has been replaced.
The patch seems to work, it doesn't check if there was a music playing, as Mike described. If you think this condition makes sense, please resend the patch (with commit info).
Created attachment 8287 Revised version of patch that only starts playback when MPD was playing befpre
Ah, yes, good call. I misinterpretated "replace" as "replace and play". I updated the patch and generated it with git format-patch this time so that it should be easy to apply.
Merged, thanks!
