I recently tried a UPnP sever that has a novel (to me anyway) interface. I was wondering if there is any way to do the same with Custom Browse.
The menu strategy is as follows. 1) You nominate the tags you are interested in - that's effectively already done using the mixed tags and custom tags defined for use in Custom Scan 2) The menu shows a list of these tag names and you pick one 3) The menu now shows, for the selected item, a list of tags for which there is more than one possible track, suppressing those where there is no track and where there is only one match display that instead of the tag name (eg Chopin instead of Composer) and not allowing selection using that tag 4) Repeat (3) until you decide to play or list all tracks which match a selected item. This allows you to select, say, an Artist, find all Composers for which there's a track with that Artist on it, select a Composer and see if there are there are tracks which also have an Orchestra you are interested in, list all the matching Works or tracks and play one. I hope that explanation is enough to explain how it works and to show the flexibility of the structure. The question is whether this is do-able with Custom Browse. I assume it is technically feasible if one writes the code, but I don't see a way of using the Custom Browse menus to achieve this. Any ideas? LMS 7.8 on VortexBox Midi, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. Touch with EDO on Ethernet, coax out to a Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Wireless Xubuntu laptop controls server using Chromium. Meridian Explorer USB DAC to listen to LMS via Squeezelite on Vortexbox & other PCs as required. Spare Touch in loft! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
