After ND server upgrade to 0.55,Recently Added Albums show old albums

Issue description:

Navidrome recently updated to “Big Refactor” indexing (Help test the next version of Navidrome (a.k.a BFR) · navidrome/navidrome · Discussion #3676 · GitHub) and I updated my server to 0.55.2 (latest) yesterday.
after a complete rebuild of the database, this introduced an issue with “Recently Added Albums” list, which now shows many albums that weren’t recently added on top. I found this issue on the web interface of ND and other apps. That brought me to search ND Github issues and find this was due to a recent change in the server ([Bug]: Recently Added - Random album order · Issue #3823 · navidrome/navidrome · GitHub). I changed the server setting as advised in the bug with RecentlyAddedByModTime = true
and that indeed solved the issue when I use ND web interface, Dsub app, Feishin desktop linux app - but for some reason, the issue still remains in Symfonium.
I tried adding the server as a “new” server to the media providers, but with no difference

Duplicate of a few, nothing I can do on my side, it’s the data that Navidrome returns, and yes I know other apps using the dedicated endpoint that return different data without another way to get have the Navidrome workaround working but it’s irrelevant here.

okay, just to be clear -
the albums I see on top (a lot of them) are not duplicates. they are just much older added albums

The issue is a duplicate.

oh , ok. could you link me to other issues on this? I couldn’t find any

Was this the first update to a post refactor build you did?

^^ yes. do you experience the same issue?

Not necessarily. However, it won’t happen with future updates (or shouldn’t, unless there’s another big refactor). There is also the option (check the Navidrome website & documentation for details) to make navidrome use the old style of managing albums.

Personally, I would just leave it as it is now so you don’t run into issues later if that option gets deorecated, but it can be done if you feel that it must.

^^ do you mean this option? I already enabled it, and on the web interface and other apps, Recent Albums are showing correctly

no
