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
Logs:

Additional information:
Reproduction steps:
upgrade Navidrome server from 0.54 to 0.55.2 (BFR major server update)
rescan entire database
sync Symonium to server
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.
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.
