samsung 7100 f series music displayed alphabetically instead of track number

**troyb1** · 12-10-2013, 03:33 PM

just upgraded to a samsung 60in 7100 series tv from a d series. i never had a problem with the d series but this new tv is displaying album tracks alphabetically instead of by track list. i checked that mezzmo is seeing the track number and it is sort by ascending order like you said in this old post http://forum.conceiva.com/showthread...g+track+number

can you please provide me with some help resolving this issue.

Based on feedback from other Samsung F-series owners, we believe the Samsung F-series TVs and Blu-ray players always sort the file listings alphabetically (which is a really bad idea). Mezzmo server delivers the list of files in the order you specify and it appears the Samsung F-series firmware then collects the list of files and sorts them alphabetically and then displays them. We hope that Samsung release a firmware update to fix this. Perhaps you can contact Samsung to let them know about the problem and this may help accelerate the release of a firmware update.

I think I asked this once before - can we have an option to pre-pend the track number when it gets sent to the Sammy devices when browsing an album category?

OK - I'll make sure this is added to our development task list.

Dang. My Samsung E Series TV does this too. Will not play by track #.

Has a feature/workaround like this been added yet (since the posting of this in 2013)? Samsung Smart TV is still alphabetizing by id3 tag song title rather than by track number.

(For the life of me, if the feature has already been added, have no idea where to look to turn it on.)

Thanks..
