hi everyone, love symfonium but never posted here before! i was wondering if anyone knew how album play counts are calculated by the app? i make a lot of smart playlists based on play count stats but i’ve always been confused by the album play count. does symfonium do its own calculations? is it based on the play count of individual tracks or does the whole album need to be played from start to finish to count as 1 album play?
i tried to run some cursory tests but i got confusing results ie some albums have a play count of 1 while only 1 track within it has a play count higher than 0 but some other albums have a playcount of 3+ while many tracks within them have 6+ plays.
here’s some screenshots of what I mean from 2 different albums:
in case it’s relevant i use navidrome for my server, but i usually make smart playlists in symfonium itself rather than in navidrome and have noticed that navidrome doesn’t seem to track album plays separate from track plays. not really an issue just curious how it works, thanks!
