The ability to exclude certain genres from being submitted (i.e. so my 8 year old daughters High School Musical tastes don't pollute my LFM profile...) Maybe, if it gets enough votes. Or better yet, submit a patch! Hi Andy, I'd love to submit a patch, but I wouldn't know how to, or have enough time! I'll have a think about the genre submit, and track exclusion and see what I can come up with. I quite like the Philips idea of LFM personas and libraries, but I only have one LFM account, and don't tend to make use of multiple libraries. It would make sense to me though, supporting dynamic use of multiple LFM accounts, either by a specific tag or by library. What are other people's views on submitting the genre with the track information? Am I in a minority of people who like that? For me it is useful for two reasons: 1. I like keeping track of all the stuff I've listened to, and being able to chop it up by genre...I'm a bit anal like that. 2. I'm contributing tag information to Last.FM's pile o' metadata, improving the listening experience for me and others (he said vainly).. I'd see it working very simplyyou play a piece of music from your own music library. The scrobbler submits track information as per usual, but also submits the genre you have tagged it with. The scrobbler also obeys the tag-separator you've specific in SC settings, to allow for multiple genres. As for submission exclusion, I would think I should provide the scrobbler with a list of genre tags I've used on my music. If a track is played that has one of those tags listed in the genre, that track is not submitted. I'd be interested in other's feedback on this before I submit an enhancement request.

Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Official Last.fm plugin
Is there any way to play group radio? In James' plugin, which no longer works due to a change in the Last.fm API (I'm guessing), I have to use the official plugin. But I can't find a way of playing groups, saving groups, or playing particular LastFM urls. Any ideas? There are some things I like about the official plugin, but more things I like about James...such as the ability to have tag info submitted with your tracks, but thats another post I guess. -- chris.mason chris.mason's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3323 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48880 ___ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
Re: [SlimDevices: Beta] Official Last.fm plugin
OK, I realised I'm being a bit dense...you can use the lfm:// identifying to play any station (group or otherwise) in the station tuner...and then also add it to the My Radio plugin I use. What are the future plans for the official LFM plugin, what else might be added? Two things I'd love are: 1. Automatically tag submitted songs with the genre. 2. The ability to exclude certain genres from being submitted (i.e. so my 8 year old daughters High School Musical tastes don't pollute my LFM profile...)

[SlimDevices: Beta] Is SlimServer 6.3 faster than 6.2.2?
Is it just my imagination, or has there been some optimisation work put into 6.3? I recently upgraded to 6.3 from 6.2.2 (built on April 26th, so not the official release). I've noticed that server response using both softsqueeze and from the web interface is much snappier. Anybody else noticed this? I'm running SlimServer 6.3 on Windows XP SP2, on an Intel P4 (2.5Ghz) PC with 1Gb RAM. I'm also using MySQL 5 as the database.

[SlimDevices: Beta] Re: Windows Process Priority Standby
I'd like to add my voice to the please make this optional crowd. I don't believe Windows processes should by default take a high priority. This would explain why I've been having problems. I installed 6.2.2 yesterday and had a variety of issues, which I tracked down to Slim having a high priority. Eventually, I was able to change this to normal, and everything was OK again. The problem arises when rescanning a MusicMagic (or Music IP now) library. Because Slim takes all the CPU priority, I think MIP runs into trouble. As a general rule, processes should be Normal, and set to high as the need arises perhaps. So, while 6.2.2 is set as High by default I'm not going to be able to use it.
