Re: [slim] Global Search
I'll try again when I get home and let you know, but when I tried at the weekend it was using the 'Search' item in the main menu (after clicking 'More...' in the bottom menu) and then also in the 'Extras' part of the main menu under the Web Browser option. Neither returned anything but local results. I can search Spotify from the Spotty app ok. phresh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107812 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Global Search
I could be completely missing something here, either something obvious or with the way the search works. Global Search is not available from the web UI. How did you search on iPeng? Did you try on the device itself? -- Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Global Search
Hi, first post here but i've been using squeezeboxes (and this forum) for -years-. I'm not sure if this is an issue or not but I don't seem to be able to get 'Global Search' to work at all, assuming it properly exists as searching doesn't throw up anything conclusive. To make sure I wasn't using conflicting plugins I did a fresh install of 7.9.1 with only the Spotty plugin. With this the global search doesn't return any spotify results (I had the same behaviour previously with the Triode plugin). I could be completely missing something here, either something obvious or with the way the search works. I've tested this in both the web interface and with iPeng9 (using both normal search and the search hidden away in 'Extras'. The logs don't throw up anything immediately obvious either. Any advice appreciated! phresh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67230 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107812 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Global search ?
I've successfully copied all my genre tags into the comment tag and done a few simple searches, but the results are so far disappointing. As an example, a typical custom-format tag I have created might look like this:4 [P] (S) When I search (using the advanced search / comment field), either it fails, or the results are inconsistant with what I know exists within my media library, eg: Search for... [p] Results.. Internet Explorer times out after 2-3 minutes of cpu at 100% Search for... (S) Results.. I get thousands of results when I would expect maybe 100 (could it be ignoring the brackets?) Search for... *** Results.. I get 98 results, when I would expect a few hundred I'll have to do some more testing, but this doesn't look very encouraging. -- indypants indypants's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11608 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53777 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] Global search ?
Hi, Thanks for all the advice - much appreciated. I have a little bit of perl experience (enough to move my tags around), so it sounds like the best idea is to follow the suggestion of moving everything into the comments tag. I'll double check that comments is fully searchable before I do :) -- indypants indypants's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11608 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53777 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Hi, thanks for the reply, and apologies for the time it has taken me to respond. I'll come clean and admit that I held something back in my original post because I am doing something very non-standard. I actually use the genre field to store my own personalised ratings flags, including star ratings (asterisks) and mood information (a custom letter within brackets). The reason I did this originally is that I wanted portability for my ratings, i.e I wanted it stored within the MP3 tags rather than be tied to the application. The genre field was something I never used, so it seemed ideal for what I wanted to do. That is, until I moved over to SqueezeCenter... The standard search you mentioned doesn't search the genre field, whereas winamp does. For searches from the remote, it does not allow you (as far as I know) to enter symbols such as asterisk or brackets. I'm considering exporting all these tags and re-importing them into another unused tag that is searchable in SqueezeCenter, as I don't currently see any easy option. -- indypants indypants's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11608 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53777 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Global search ?
Squeezecenter imports the comment tag, so you could use that. You might want to look into Erland's Custom Scan plugin. It will import ratings or any other custom tags you set it up for. -- MeSue Sue http://www.last.fm/user/MeSue MeSue's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=985 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53777 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Global search ?
It would be pretty trivial to move everything from genre to comment using something like mp3tag or foobar. -- radish radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53777 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Unfortunately that won't help, SqueezeCenter doesn't search the tags imported by Custom Scan. You can browse the information with Custom Brose plugin, but not search it. As already suggested, putting the information in the comment tag should work. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/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=53777 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

[slim] Global search ?
I'm hoping someone can tell me where to find what I'm looking for... Having owned a squeezebox for around a year now, I still find myself reverting back to Winamp Media Library when I need to find songs or build complex playlists. It has a very simple but extremely powerful search interface that allows you to just type any phrase (including alpha, numeric, or symbols) and then all the tags are searched globally without any need so specify which tag you want to search within. Additionally, the words in your phrase are searched independantly. In other words, searching for disco 2000 will instantly find all songs with a year tag of 2000 AND a genre tag of disco. It will also find the song disco 2000 by pulp, if that happens to be what I'm looking for. To me this seems like a no-brainer, and yet I can find no such facility built in to SqueezeCenter. The closest I've found is the LazySearch plugin. This is a great little tool and I use it a lot when I'm on the sofa using just the remote. However, it's clearly not intended to replace proper searches done from the Squeezecenter interface and only hints at what can be done with a Winamp search. Please help! I'd be delighted if someone could embarass me by saying that i've missed something that has been there all along :) -- indypants indypants's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11608 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53777 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

There is also a 'Keyword' search available from the player (press the Search button and scroll). Does that do what you want?
