Play All feature nightmare

Postby dirkal » Mon Aug 20, 2012 6:16 pm

Is it possible to add a feature that Selectively Hides the "Play All" and "Add All" options within the Top-Level Folders?
Or at least place a Admin-Defined Server Limit on how many files can be added to the "Play/Add All" options.

I have a large library that is organized Alphabetically by Artist.
Each top level folder(A-Z) contains hundreds of Subfolders(Artists).
If anyone clicks on the "Play ALL" selection for that top-level folder(A-Z), the server attempts to load Thousands of MP3s and the server stalls.

Example: If someone selects PLAY ALL while viewing the Artist "A" category, the server attempts to create and play a playlist containing Every MP3 that is listed under Every Artist that begins with the letter A. Resulting in a server freeze.

I have added Comments warning against doing this on each Top-Level page, but we all know that no one reads warnings until after they've locked up the server. :roll:

Thanks!
