Plex Media Server: `1.32.4.7195`  
Plexamp: `4.7.4`

In the following case, the album view content doesn’t load:

1. Navigate to any artist
2. Navigate to “Recently Played” for that artist
3. Bring up the menu for any of the tracks in the “Recently Played” list
4. Hit “Go to Album”
5. The album view will hang indefinitely

Additionally, while directly playing a track from an artist’s “Recently Played” list _does_ seem to work, it creates broken entries in the global “Recent Plays” list. These entries have no album artwork, and attempting to play them or navigate to album or artist via those entries results in views that load indefinitely. Attempting to play the tracks via another menu (e.g. from the “Search” tab) works fine. Jumping back and forth between playing via the broken method and a working one seems to result in some “Recent Plays” entries for that track to be lost.

It should be noted that the “broken” method doesn’t actually seem to create any play history on the server side (at least not that I can see from the dashboard on the Web UI).

Below is a view of Plexamp and the corresponding play history in the Web UI:

Thanks for the report, we’ll look into it!

Fixed for the next (after next) release.
