Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Menus with Custom Scan
The easiest is to use the "Dynamic Tags" menu type. This will not give you a static browse structure, instead you will get a menu where you can browse these tags in any order you want. The disadvantage of this solution is that it results in a bit deeper menu since it will have an intermediate menu level between each tag where you select which tag to browse next. If you just want to try out the feeling, you can try browsing with the built-in "Tags" menu which should be available as soon as you have scanned once with the "Mixed Tag" scanning module in Custom Scan. If you really want this static menu which you describe, there is no problem to do it as long as there always is a "group of works", the problem is when you want to remove the "group of works" level. This will require you to customize the XML configuration yourself. If you like to do this the "Genre/SubGenre" menu type does something similar with genres, so it might be worth looking at. However, please note that this can be a bit complex to accomplish, so it won't be an easy task. I won't make any pre-defined template for this based on the static menu configuration, but it might be possible to make the "Dynamic Tags" menu a bit better in a future release. -- 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=51439 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Could you install the Database Query plugin and create a new free form query with the following SQL statement: Code: select id,url from tracks where content_type='dir' Does this query return any directories when you you execute it in your library where you don't have a music folder configured ? If this query lists all directories in your setup, I think there might be a solution. If it doesn't list any directories, I think you will have a hard time getting the music folder menu to work. The Custom Browse music folder menu is just a link to the standard SqueezeCenter music folder menu, which requires these directory entries in the database. Without them the Music Folder menu in SqueezeCenter won't work. So if you don't see any directory entries with the above query in Database Query plugin, the only way to get this to work is to develop a third party plugin that add the necessary directory entries to the database. This shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows perl or is willing to learn perl, but it will require some development. -- 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=50495 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Don't know if you've already considered and discarded this idea, but the MusicInfo screensaver can be set to do this. I have one of my SBs that I basically use as a clock radio set to show "Title - Artist" on the top line and "Currtime" on the bottom line.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Menus with Custom Scan
Hi, I have a question concerning the Custom Scan plugin. I want to explain this with an example. I have the following tags in my music files: COMPOSERBeethoven PERFORMER Brendel WORKPiano Sonata Nr. 1 GROUPOFWORKSPiano Sonatas COMPOSERBeethoven PERFORMER Brendel WORKPiano Sonata Nr. 2 GROUPOFWORKSPiano Sonatas COMPOSERBeethoven PERFORMER Brendel WORKDiabelli-Variationen GROUPOFWORKS Now I want to browse my collection for example by first selecting the composer, then selecting the group of works (if there is any) and then selecting the work. If there is no group of works I would like to select the work directly after selecting the composer. That is, the menu structure should be as follows: Beethoven --> Piano Sonatas --> Piano Sonata Nr. 1, Piano Sonata Nr. 2 Beethoven --> Diabelli-Variationen Is this possible with Custom Scan?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC menus missing in squeezecenter
Without alienbbc.opml you have no AlienBBC menu. There are many reasons why SC is prevented from writing the file but they are all window administrative. Ones that caused this problem for other users include * Write protection either permission or access control. * Disk quotas * Directory name is not valid. * playlist directory is not mounted * security s/w I suggest 1. checking what user account SC actually uses when running. 2. Create a new playlist directory using logged in with that user account. 3. Change SC playlist directory to use the new directory. 4. Restart SC. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51417 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

A couple of points. 1. You should NOT have put any files into the playlist directory. All the contents of the iPlayer zip should be in the Plugins/Alien/Addons. Remove any files you installed into playlist directory. 2. It sounds like SC cannot write into the SC playlist directory. The name "Administrator" in the playlist directory folder path looks like a directory belonging to a privileged account. What account does SC run under on your system ? 3.
