I only found this thread now, even though it is many months old.
I have been trying to configure a single Raspberry Pi to have two players, each acting as though it has a separate library. I have succeeded in getting two players working (Multisqueeze from Max2Play), but they shared the same library. But in this thread, I read that with the "Additional Browse Mode" plug-in, I can control which library is _viewed_ "by player." But perhaps what is playing and showing is not related to what is viewed.... Assume I have a thumb drive plugged into my Raspberry Pi with much music in a directory called MyMusic (to reuse the term from this thread) and other music in the directory PaulsStuff (again, reusing a term). Assume I configure one player as 192.168.0.100 and call it "Main Player" and set its library to media/usb/MyMusic . And I configure the other player as 192.168.0.101, call it "Alt Player" and set its library as media/usb/PaulsStuff. If this works the way I want it to work, it means that when I connect the Orange Squeeze user interface to the "server" named "Main Player" the "Albums" choice on the main menu will show only the items in MyMusic, and when I set the server in Orange Squeeze to Alt Player "Albums" will show only the items in PaulsStuff. And even more critical to me, when I shuffle the Main Player (I often leave the player set to shuffle by disc, using the "Don't Stop the Music" plug-in), the Main Player will shuffle only from those items in MyMusic. Similarly, when I shuffle the Alt Player, it will only shuffle the items in PaulsStuff. So I could have MyMusic playing in one room and PaulsStuff playing in another at the same time. Is my understanding correct? If so, great! That is what I have been unable to figure out how to do for a very long time. It may be that the critical part of my question can be abbreviated this way: Can the Library View selected also determine which items are shuffled by "Don't stop the music"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joegorin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68547 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114396 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
