Add a library shortcut to display recently released albums on the homescreen

Feature description:

It is currently possible to display recently added albums on the server, but not to display recently released albums.
So I would like to see added an option to display on the homescreen recently released albums using their release date (full date YYYY-MM-DD).

Problem solved:

The current view displaying all new albums added on the server is a mix-bag of musics newly released by artists and old music recently added on the server. Since I often add a lot of old music, new releases are lost among them and don’t stand out.

Brought benefits:

An easy way to see what is really new.

Other (maybe useful) infos

I’m using Navidrome with the latest image pulled from the develop branch.

Well subsonic does not support album release date so even with the option it would not work for you :frowning:

Would there be any chance for an improvement with the new api I saw talk about?

4

Well yes, but seeing that Deluan is ultra busy currently and that the project does not move if I do not push it myself a lot, this will take a lonnnnng time.

I’d like to request this as a Plex user. For exact same reasons OP gave.

You can already, create a smart playlist that you like then add it to the home.

And there’s actually already a recent albums row on settings.

It doesn’t seem to work properly with Navidrome, because Symfonium finds YYYY-MM-DD release dates for only a fraction of the releases actually having YYYY-MM-DD release dates. But not sure if the culprit is Symfonium or Navidrome.

It’s Navidrome as I only display what the servers send and do not touch the data.

I found why it does act like that, so I will write it there in case someone need to solve the same issue. Navidrome can apparently use either YEAR, ORIGINAL RELEASE TIME or RELEASE TIME to fetch the full release date and display it in the UI.
But when synchronizing with Symfonium, only RELEASE TIME or ORIGINAL RELEASE TIME seem to be used to provide the full release date.
So to fix the issue, files must be retagged to set one of the two fields.
