Twonky 6.0.34 out of order music playback error

Post by xman1 » Thu Oct 13, 2011 2:15 am

The older Twonky 4 didn't do this, but the new Twonky version 6 has a problem where it alphabetizes the music from A to Z and plays it back in that order. It is completely ignoring the fact that the track has a number 1 through XX in front of the file name. How can I correct this? This is the most annoying bug I have seen yet.

Crud. It is even ignoring music tag track orders. This makes this version of Twonky fairly unusable, probably to most people for music at least. To anyone that is thinking about version 6, I'd suggest you take a long hard look at version 4 because of this bug.

Experimenting:

Using the album selection when viewing - I get proper order. When using folder view, I get an improper order.

Is there a trick to fixing this for folder view? I have some compilations that cross many albums.

There are two possible solutions to this problem which I am aware of:
1. Use only the Album trees
2. Incorporate your own custom tree. I don't have instructions how to do this, but I believe there are trees like this posted on this forum.
