I can play around with this a bit. Do you have the Random Mix plugin enabled? What I could do is add a fake genre of "of everything" so if you said "play some of everything" it would work with your whole library. That wouldn't need re-certification to do. raglencross wrote: > > Yes, the last folder is item No. 24 in the list not counting the first 2 > folders.

Aha, good point you raise about the disconnect between the screen and what's spoken. I just changed the handling of the spoken message to be in sync with what's on the display so you can re-ask to list favorites and see what you think. The folders are now listed in-line rather than all at the end. The problem with pushing all folders to the top in the listing is that there is then no visual reference with the ordering in LMS if I do that (not everybody has Echos with screens). What you could do is edit the favorites.opml file in your prefs folder (on Linux boxes, it's at /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/prefs) and cut/paste blocks to re-order. That way, you could move your 24th-block entries up to position 3 and it would be solved for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
