Playing music folders from the "Favourites" section doesn't work for me

Hi Tolriq.

I wonder if you might be able to advise whether my problem is “by design” or is perhaps a bug please? To be honest, it’s not even a huge problem as I know how to work around it - but here it is anyway… :slight_smile:

I have a folder with a large number (1000+) of MP3 files in various subdirectories on a USB stick plugged into the side of my Vero 4K with Kodi / OSMC. The USB stick gets automatically mounted and the files are all visible in the “Audio Files” section. From there, I can play whole directories fine by browsing to the directory I want, highlighting the subdirectories I want and then clicking the play button - and everything works fine. (Although the “Next Track” and “Previous Track” buttons don’t work so I have to show the playlist and select the next track manually.)

I also have some photos stored in a different folder, and I can show a particular picture whilst the music plays, and that’s all great too.

The problem comes when I add the music directories (either the “root” or the subdirectories) to the “Favourites” section. If I try and play a directory from there - or any subdirectories underneath then nothing happens.

I don’t know whether this is just the way I have my Vero 4K set up, whether it’s because I’m displaying a picture at the same time as playing the music, or whether it’s something else entirely.

I have a feeling I may not have explained it too well, but hopefully the log file will help. If you have any more questions then please let me know.

Thanks Tolriq. And have a great new year’s eve.

Kind regards.

From Mike.
PS. Uploaded a second log which may be more helpful. This is the same issue but I have no picture displayed on screen.
