Thanks a lot
Your XML file return me an error in CustomBrowse and I cannot solve it

Code:
Running:

Any Idea? (I'm running SBS 7.6.2 on Linux with SQLite)

Layla is being sold by HDTracks as the definitive audiophile version but the master that was used to create the high resolution has the same overly compressed dynamic range as the crappy 2011 CD remaster. I've had this same conversation over on the Stereophile forum and since HDTracks is a Stereophile advertiser all the writers and editors simply gave HDTracks a pass and said something along the lines of "Oh they're aware of the problems and it's now their fault and yada, yada, yada." That's why I will not buy anything from HDtracks until each and every one of their high resolution releases is truly hi-rez and is not dynamically compressed.

Not quite crap just pretend high resolution, as in standard CD resolution up-sampled to a higher resolution. Just how many frequency spectrum graphs is it going to take for people to get the message. A message along the lines of for every true resolution recording being sold by HDTracks there are at least two pretend high resolution recordings being sold by HDTracks.

I use puddletag to automagically append [24/96], [24/48] etc. to album names for albums other than 16/44.1. I don't bother browsing for them though, I choose my music based on what I want to listen to rather than resolution.

New version of Custom Browse and Multi Library to support these kind of
menus should now be available.
To create a menu exactly as the one you currently have you will have to
use both plugins:
1. In Multi Library plugin, define a library where you have checked the
"Only lossless format" and "Only high resolution" options, uncheck all
menus in "Included internal menus" and "Included Custom Browse menus"
section.
2. In Custom Browse plugin, create a new menu based on the "Albums"
template and select the library you created in point 1 in the "Library"
option.
In addition to this, there is a "Bitdepths" and "Sample rates" menu
template available in Custom Browse which will make it possible to
browse your library by bitdepth or sample rate.

Library stats: 1243 albums with 16576 songs by 732 artists. 100%
lossless/flac.
It's literally that 'albums'-based browse view that I posted here
yesterday ("HD Albums") that is exhibiting the slowness. Not using any
other features of custom browse right now so nothing to compare it to.
It may not even be a 'query' issue, as the browse view comes up
instantly when I access SBS via my browser interface. It was in the
native iPad/iPhone app (iPengHD) that I noticed some lag. Maybe there
is something about the markup/output of the pages generated by the
Custom Browse plugin that causes my app to be slower at parsing them?

No there isn't any support for query caching currently, I've thought
about implementing it but I have a lot of other stuff higher up on the
todo list at the moment.
Just out of interest, is there a specific menu level that's slow or is
it all of them ?

Thank you Erland. Just curious, when do you think you'll be officially

Thanks I will include something based on this in the next plugin
release, basically my plan is:
1. A new Multi Library plugin library option where you can select to
create a virtual library that only contains HD music. This will make it
possible to filter any Custom Browse based menu based on this library so
it only shows HD music.
2. Two new Custom Browse plugins menu templates ("Bitdepths" and
"Sample rates") to make it possible to browse your whole library by bit
depth or by sample rate.
They are available through the download links in respective plugin page
already now but they will be officially included in the next release of
respective plugin.
To be able to use the download links, you need to first configure a
"Browse templates directory" (in Custom Browse) and/or a "Library
templates directory" (in Multi Library), just point these settings to
two empty directories and downloaded templates will be put in these
directories when using the download links in the Custom Browse and
Multi Library web interfaces.

I suspect the Bitrates menu template which already exists is pretty
close, it just have to be modified so it uses the other fields instead
of the bitrate field.
The easiest way to do this is probably to:
1. In Custom Browse settings, create a new menu of the type "Bitrates"
2. Select to "Customize SQL" in the bottom of the menu configuration
editor
3. Adjust the SQL/XML to your liking
4. Post or mail me the XML/SQL configuration.
You can also take a copy of the bitrates.xml and bitrates.template
files end edit the copy directly in a text editor. You will find them
in the Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/CustomBrowse/Templates directory.
If you do this, just remember to remove the
22 element as that's unique
for the bitrates template.

Sample rate(for example 44100) is in: tracks.samplerate
Sample size(for example 16) is in: tracks.samplesize
Bitrate(for example 1020301) is in: tracks.bitrate
Lossless flag(for example 1) is in: tracks.lossless
I think the database structure described on the wiki should be fairly
correct:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SlimServerDatabaseStructure
It's probably fairly easy for someone that knows XML to customize the
Custom Browse bitrates menu to make it possible to browse by samplerate
or samplesize instead.

It looks like it would be possible with Custom Browse. There's already a menu there for bitrate, but bitrate isn't very helpful for lossless files. What you need is sampling rate. All you need is the magic SQL invocation for choosing albums with files that have a sampling rate > 88.2 kHz, and you're in business. The database tables must be defined somewhere... -- Daverz Daverz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89863 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

Do not use IDVx with flac! You need to use flac tags with flac...

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] How to browse my "HD" audio tracks?
Except you should not really use id3 with flac it "works" but is not standard. http://flac.sourceforge.net/faq.html#general__tagging But most good tagging apps like mp3tag or similar knows how to write the rigth kind of tag and also how to strip of any one that should not be there, so it's really not that hard, I don't really know how it works, I just don't mix tag formats as SBS (and other apps ) get knackered when i do. Custom Browse with Custom Scan is probably very powerful if one wants to make that kind of effort . Another idea i will do is to create a dts genre ,as those tracks only give noise except in my main ht , the transcoding actually has got a bit leaner the last year and sync better so lately I've forgot to exclude hirez and it works good anyway but the dts tracks is a no go -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] How to browse my "HD" audio tracks?
Wow, thanks for all the replies! Nice to see others interested in the same thing. My wife and I still have high hopes of going through our 2,000+ flac album collection and actually settling on a consistent set of genres for ourselves (we have pretty similar taste, so its feasible). Count me in as someone who also would like to be able to use genres independent of 24 bit, etc. One question comes to mind after reading everyone's suggestions: aside from the GENRE field, is there any other field in the ID3 tag spec where one could store what we might all literally thing of as a keyword tag list? Or is GENRE the nearest field for this type of thing? I checked out Erlands Custom Browse plugin and it looks reasonably close (noticed they have a Lossy/Lossless/Bitrate browse method). Maybe the author of that plugin would consider extending it to also index by sample rate/bit depth? -- emeraldcityeg emeraldcityeg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89863 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

It's neat, but my hi-res files cross many genres... and I wouldn't want to play them as a set / playlist... nor would I would to generically exclude them from random mixes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] How to browse my "HD" audio tracks?
Ihave them in separate folders DVDA and HD tracks . I have also configured sbs to use ";" as a tag separator for multiple values for tags. so I have an extra genre "24 bit" . The genre tag of such track is then set to for example "Jazz;24 bit" . Then is simple to find them by browse genre. it is abit of a kludge but it works. ( the kludgy parts is that "24 bit" is not genre per se, if it is like in a typical audiphile demo track it's seldom worth hearing it for obvius reasons, it is not really music either. ) -- Mnyb Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] How to browse my "HD" audio tracks?
Hi all, I am a proud owner of a Transporter and I'm starting to amass a decent collection of "HD" flac albums (i.e. sample rates > 44.1k). I'd like to be able to browse my collection by a "tag" called "HD" and wondered if anyone had any suggestions on the best way to do this? Many approaches come to mind, but not sure what is best: - tagging the source flac files with a custom "HD" tag? (manually in media monkey, or automatically via a platform-dependent shell script, etc.) - maintain them in a completely separate root directory and browsing by folder/files? (not preferable) - dynamic playlist plug-in? Would love to hear any approaches people have for this sort of thing...
