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...

I can maybe only offer help if you're using Linux.

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?

Analog to album, song or artist it should be possible to select a category for playback. For example "Alexa ask My Media to play category/genre rock".
From the help files:
Alexa, ask My Media to play {Genre} {Music}

Isn't that it?

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.
