I'm looking for ideas of new type of browse menus to include with the
Custom Browse plugin. So I would like to get some ideas of different
ways you would like to browse your music that is not possible with the
current version of slimserver.
Try to include a menu hierarchy example in your idea to make it easier
to understand how you would like it to work, for example:
Genres
- (List of genres)
-- (List of artists within the selected genre)
--- (List of albums for selected artist within selected genre)
---- (List of tracks on selected album, artist and genre)
So how would you like to browse your music ?
Here's what I want to see -- I'd like to be able to partition my
collection with pre-defined genre filters. The filters would be
configurable in the web-UI, preferably with an array of tri-states (ie:
each genere can be included or excluded, not just included like in the
Random Mix). Each filter would have a configurable title (which is how
it would show up in the browse tree).
For bonus points, add a Random Mix feature for each Genre filter.
For _even more_ bonus points, somehow make it so that each of those
Random Mix features can be optionally assigned a shortcut on the remote,
say Hold N (where N is one of the number keys).
