How to manage the Queue?

[jonahbarrett]

What's the best way to manage the queue, especially in situations like queuing up multiple albums?

It seems like the only options are using Enter to clear the current queue and immediately play the selection, or to use e/ctrl+e to add songs to the temporary queue which always sits after the current song in the queue. From what I can tell you can't move songs from the temporary queue into the main queue or position the temporary queue after the end of the main queue.

Is there a way to do what I am looking for in jellyfin-tui, or would this be a new feature?

Hey, this is a bit of a UX problem because I can't think of a keybinding for "add to main queue". You can add an entire album to the main queue in the Albums tab, press p on an album and select Append to main queue.

I'd like to have a keybinding for it, but I it gets messy. Totally open to it if you have some ideas.

I might allow you to move a song out of the temporary queue possibly? But that to me seems like it would just be confusing to use.

Hmm, that is a tricky problem. I had previously been trying an MPD client called RMPC which used a/A for either adding one item or all items to the queue, which I found worked well. Unfortunately that wouldn't work for jellyfin-tui since the key is being used for navigation. I'll give it some more thought as I use it throughout the week and let you know if I think of anything!

The append to main queue option was exactly what I was looking for, I had only checked the popup in the library tab so I didn't realize that was an option. Thanks!
