https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442251 --- Comment #2 from LDW --- The entry in elisarc reads "InitialView=AllAlbums". However, whichever setting option is selected (and confirmed it features in elisarc), Elisa (21.08.1) still loads with the "Now Playing" view. I have deleted the elisarc file and removed and reinstalled elisa using Discover, but there is no change. I am using m4a music files - I converted a few to ogg using FFaudioConverter, but the initial view loaded is still "Now Playing".

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442251 --- Comment #4 from LDW --- Well I am using British English, but I changed to American English, logged in again, and it works (the initial view is Albums). Looks like you are on the right track. 14 Sept 2021, 17:02 by bugzilla_nore...@kde.org: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442251 > > --- Comment #3 from Nate Graham --- > Huh, I guess it's not that. > > Are you using Elisa in a language that is not English, by any chance?

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442251 --- Comment #10 from LDW --- I attach two text files which might help - transcripts of running Elisa from a terminal, one with American English as the default language, the other with British English as default. In both instances Elisa was started with Now Playing as the initial view, and once loaded the initial view setting was changed to Albums, and then Elisa was exited. I don't know enough to understand much of it (apart from noticing that the BritishE file is much longer than the AmericanE), but these may be of use. 10 Sept 2021, 15:14 by bugzilla_nore...@kde.org: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442251 > > Nate Graham changed: > > What|Removed |Added > > Status|REPORTED|NEEDSINFO > CC||n...@kde.org > Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO > > --- Comment #1 from Nate Graham --- > Works for me.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442251 --- Comment #12 from LDW --- Actually now you have pointed out this behaviour, I can see that when Elisa is started, Albums is highlighted for a split second and then the highlight changes to Now Playing. It's so quick that you don't see it unless you are looking for it (on my 6 year old maybe approaching potato-grade thinkpad anyway). 21 Sept 2021, 15:06 by bugzilla_nore...@kde.org: > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442251 > > Nagy Tibor changed: > > What|Removed |Added > > CC||xnagyti...@gmail.com > > --- Comment #9 from Nagy Tibor --- > Created attachment 141767 > --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=141767&action=edit > Elisa in a potato-grade VM > > I can reproduce it on neon with German as the system language.
