Ok... I've added all my holiday music, and in my Album Artists menu I am finding that a handful of artists are showing up that do not have albums in that particular library. If I click on those "album artists", their menu entry is blank.
It seems that the artists that are showing up are artists that 1. are track artists on a compilation album in the Holiday Library AND 2. are album artists in my Mainstream library. However, there are track artists in the holiday collection that meet the same criteria in 1. and 2. above that are not listed as Album Artists, so I am a bit confused at what could be the problem. The Holiday Library itself seems normal as the library lists the correct number of tracks. Browsing by Album shows the correct albums. It is only the Album Artist menu that seems to be leaking some connection to the Mainstream library. To add another piece to the puzzle. I also started setting up a classical library with only one album in it. Right now I only have one menu set up for Genre. I had expected to only see the genres associated with the classical library in my genre menu, but all the genre's in the complete library show up, although once I am in one of those genre menus they show up blank reflecting that they don't really exist in the classical library. The classical library only has 6 tracks in it with 2 genres, but this seems to be related to my Album Artist problem in my Holiday library. I've tried various settings in the Custom Browse Menus and the Libraries themselves. The two libraries; Holiday and Classical are standard libraries based on a root folder I use to keep that music separate from my mainstream music. The mainstream library is a dependent library that is set to exclude music from the holiday and classical library. In that particular library, I converted all my old Custom Browse Menus to only read from the Mainstream Library, and they work perfectly. As far as I can tell I am matching most settings up in the Custom Browse Libraries with careful care of group and library names and what is working in my mainstream library... Although I now realize that the custom browse menus for my mainstream library are not in the same group as the library name... Yet they work. Does group name matter? I'd like to figure this out as it can be a bit annoying to click on a menu item that is empty or to see genres in my classical music collection that are obviously not classical music. -- emalvick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91901 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
