Is ALBUM or ALBUMARTIST listed in the Custom Tag scanning module ? If they are this might create some confusion, although I don't think the artists should disappear, if I remember correctly the artists will instead be shown twice. In Custom Browse there is a menu template called "Custom Scan Info". If you create a menu of this type you can browse the scanned Custom Scan data to see what is really there. You could create a menu of this menu type temporarily and then browse into "Custom Scan Info/mixedtag" and see if there is an "ARTIST" entry and if something is in there. I suspect you won't see it there. Another thing you could try is to install the "Database Query" plugin and click on the "SlimServer Statistics" query. This will show the number of "artists", "album artists" an much more in your SlimServer library. If "Number of artists" shows 0 in this query they problem is that the information in the SlimServer database is correct, either because of incorrect tags or because or some bug or setting in the SlimServer scanning logic.

To get rid of it do as follows: 1. Goto: "Settings->Edit menus->Create new menu" 2. Find the "Custom Tags Albums (Delete)" entry 3. Click on the delete link inside the parenteses 4. Download latest menus again, this time it shouldn't show the message. Phil Meyer;222437 Wrote: > It would be nice to have both "New Albums/New Artists" and "Changed > Albums/Changed Artists" menus.

This will create a menu that works as before and only looks at the standard SlimServer statistics and not TrackStat. The result is that it will be updated if the modification time is changed on some of your music files and you perform a rescan with SlimServer. I'm not sure if SlimServer updates the time if you only scan for "new/changed music", so if it doesn't work with "new/changed music" you might need to do a complete rescan. The same procedure can also be done with "New Albums" menu type to create a "Changed Albums" menu.

Sure, just create a new menu of the type "Dynamic playlists", set the menu group parameter to "Artists" to move it into the "Artists" main menu in your structure, set the "Playlist group" parameter to "Artists" to limit the contents to the dynamic playlists that is shown in the "Artists" group under the "Dynamic Playlists" plugin. The same thing can also be done with the "Statistics" menu type for the TrackStat menu hierarchy. In this menu you set the "Statistics group" parameter to "Artists" to limit the contents to the statistics shown in the "Artists" group under the TrackStat plugin. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37837 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
