Re: Select right album
Hiya,
A workaround is to put the album into a playlist. The playlist can then be named as something easier to ask for (like 'Willow Expanded')
The other option is to use the 'overrides' section to replace what you ask for to get the album, although this is in beta stage.

Thumbnail quality improvement
Hi, is there any chance we could have slightly better quality thumbnails in the web interface? It really is atrocious at the moment (for me anyway; see pic) with some text being completely illegible, so even a slight improvement would be a welcome one. Thanks Lozzy_uk https://i.ibb.co/XJ9JLd6/mymedi...

Re: Location of Playlists created in MyMedia Interface
I can maybe only offer help if you're using Linux. The filename on my system is ServerPlaylists.xml, so maybe you can search for that, but it's not very human-friendly since all tracks are put in using a unique ID. Here's a testplaylist I created with a 12 track album in: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Arra...

Watch folder improvement
Hi Bizmodeller,
it would be really useful to be able to manually trigger a rescan on some, or just one folder sometimes.
Otherwise it can be a bit tedious to have to rescan a large library just for the addition of a few tracks.
Thanks

Ignoring Folders
Hi,
If I want to ignore a folder that was previously watched, can I just place the ignore file in the folder and MMFA will remove the indexed entries?
Or do I have to clear the database and rescan everything?
thanks

Hi Squabsy, you can stream to your mobile already - I do it in my car a lot.
Install the Alexa app, and hit the speech bubble then say what you say to Alexa to get MyMedia playing.

Tracks restarting on their own
Hi,
does anyone else have the issue where midway through a track and with no interaction from the user, the track starts playing from the start again.
It happens often enough to be annoying, I just wondered if anyone else gets this behaviour?
