Play Now plays albums from first track rather then selected track.

[Shy Guy on Wheels]

I find this problem only happens with the tracklist that appears underneath an album when you click an album cover, and only when play now is set to 'clear list and play selected tracks only'. Anywhere else it plays from the currently highlighted track, and under any other setting play now starts from the selected track, it just seems to be these two settings combined causing an issue.

for reference I have play now set to Enter in the hotkeys, if this changes anything

I can't test this until the weekend, but regarding ur statement above:
Is the result any different when playback is invoked through a mouse click rather than a hotkey?

Double clicking works fine, also removing the hotkey causes Enter to play the selected track just fine, though this isn't much of a fix as it means Enter won't play the track in other views.

could you provide a screenshot? Right now i am not understanding what the difference between a highlighted track and a selected track is.

There is no difference between the two, apologies for any confusion this caused.

#1   I find this problem only happens with the tracklist that appears underneath an album when you click an album cover,
#2   and only when play now is set to 'clear list and play selected tracks only'.

Are you sure you mentioned the right setting in #2 there?
In my testing, the above option as well as "clear list and play album only" works as intended:
Album tracks play in the selected order after using the Enter key - which seems to be the default key for that command.

For me, the problem you described arises when the option "clear list and play all tracks" is selected.
With that on and irrespective of which track is selected, playback always initiates from Track #1 when the Enter/Play Now hotkey is used.
Double-clicking though, and changing the PlayNow action to any other key but Enter, works fine as you said.

yeah, i am also unable to reproduce this. Can you send a link to your settings file (help/ support/ view settings)

Oh my bad lol. Yeah you're right, I have it set it 'clear list and play all tracks', so I'm not sure why I stated the wrong option in the OP. again, sorry for any confusion caused.

Could you please repost your settings file to MediaFire or some other file hosting service that does not require the user to create an account and/or log in?

Ah apologies, I forgot to set it as public, I would've assumed Google Drive did that automatically. It should work now, but just in case there's any further issues I've also uploaded the file to MEGA and added that to the post.
