| Summary | 0016834: FMFS: When browsing tracks not in Library FMFS return mostly no results | ||||
| Description | When browsing tracks not in Library FMFS return mostly no results or just online results or result not containg browsed tracks. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Browse tracks that are not in library but have correct metadata (Lower right part of attached image) 2. Right click -> FMFS -> Album 3. It either shows Online Album info or empty album info (if you change to My library) Expected: a) It lists tracks from browser b) Make FMFS not available c) Make sure to user that in results there would be only tracks from MM library | ||||

Please triage. Seems like a trivial fix to me, but it might not be in which case we can defer. |

I tested and for me it works as expected: - when I test non-library track from an artist that has further tracks in the library: FMFS > Artist works to show the artist and its library tracks in library (like in MM4) - when I test non-library track from an artist that has no tracks in the library yet: FMFS > Artist brings the artist in the [Online] tab as expected (MM4 silently fails) I am not sure which changes are you suggesting ? |

The issues are that: 1) The behavior is inconsistent in the sense that matches are either all local or all remote regardless of what mode MM is in. a) if there are local matches then only local tracks are returned (not youtube tracks) b) if there are fuzzy matches (e.g. FMFS 'Cardi B1' then only online tracks are returned (MM doesn't perform a fuzzy search of local tracks) . i) if the user clicks 'My Library' at this point, then no local content is returned (because although the 'Online' content is for 'Cardi B', as soon as the user clicks 'My Library', the search term reverts to 'Cardi B1'). This issue is also described in 0017264. 2) If the user finds online tracks, then not only does MM switch to online mode (it doesn't do this automatically any other time), but it does so without providing any context indicating that the UI was switched to online mode. e.g. if Artists > ArtistName [List] is the active view and the user uses FMFS ArtistName for ArtistName doesn't exist in the library, then MM will show a list of tracks from youtube, but there won't be any indication that the search was performed only online (because a List View was opened). 1a can only be solved if MM implements a mode that displays a mix of local/online content. However, I don't think it's necessarily desirable--we'd need to think carefully about a UI that would mix local/online content before considering such a 'fix'. 1b is essentially asking for a new feature to perform fuzzy searches on local content when using FMFS. This is probably a completely new feature. 1bi) This is anomalous behaviour that could probably be fixed in the short term. 2 This is due to the fact that only the info panel displays the My Library/Online toggle. This can probably be fixed by indicating the mode (online vs local) in the breadcrumbs instead. TBD. |

Resolving as 'no change required' as it is unclear whether and what should be changed. |
