Erland, thank you very much for your quick answer. I will try CustomClock (probably in connection with ScreenSwitcher and report back (hopefully my success) :) Will this solution also switch font size depending whether I use the remote or the touch display, as the standard now playing screen does?

erland wrote: I think it will always use the same font size, but it typically works as a screen saver, so when you use the remove the screen saver will be deactivated and then the font will change and when the screen saver is activated again it will change back to the Custom Clock style. If you use the Custom Clock only approach, it's possible to replace the standard Now Playing screen with a Custom Clock style, but doing so will result in that you no longer can use the touch screen on the Now Playing screen as the Custom Clock applet doesn't offer any possibility to have touch controls on the style. You can still use the IR remote though. Mmmh, this sounds problematic: 1. The last solution (to replace the Standard Now Playing screen with a Custom Clock style) would be the best way but is no option, if the touch screen cannot be used. 2. Designing the screen saver with the small font (used with the touch screen) has the following problem: If you sit far away from the Touch you cannot read the display. And if you use the remote the screen saver will be deactivated and the font will be changed to the big version, but the COMPOSER and GROUPING tags will no longer be displayed (because the screen saver is deactivated). So you never will be able to read the COMPOSER and GROUPING of the currently playing song. 3. Designing the screen saver with the big font (used with the remote) will result that even if you are sitting close to the Touch always the big font is used until you touch the display. This would result in a lot of horizontally scrolling and a bad optical experience. And I assume that in this case you need always an additional touch of the display if you want to control the box using the touch display, since you mentioned that the Custom Clock applet doesn't offer any possibility to have touch controls (this is probaly also true if the screen saver is designed with the small font). The problem seems to be that there isn't a way to replace parts of the now playing screen (define your own text lines) or to replace the whole now playing screen with the possibility to define touch control buttons, but that only a screen saver is used which covers the now playing screen. Is there no way to define the strings which are displayed in the now playing screen? Could the Information Screen applet help in this case?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I use at the moment the TitleSwitcher plugin in combination with the MusicInfoSCR plugin and the CustomBrowse plugin to automatically switch the display for classical music between ARTIST/COMPOSER and TITLE/GROUPING (GROUPING holds the work title for classical music). I set COMPOSER and GROUPING only for classical music and thus a switching happens only for classical music, since titleswitcher does not switch if one of the tags is empty. This works great for my several squeezebox classics. My corresponding settings for TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScr are attached. I have now bought a squeezebox touch and would like to have the same automatically switching display. As far as I understand TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScr are only for the squeezebox classic but not for the Touch. I read about InformationScreen, ScreenSwitcher and CustomClock but am still not sure which plugin (or applet?) I must use to get the same automatical switching as with my squeezebox classic. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Hi Erland, I just upgraded from squeezeboxserver 7.5.5 to 7.6.1 and have have a problem with Custom Browse. I use several Custom Browse menus especially for browsing classical music based on the Mixed Tags template. The menus comprise standard tags like ALBUM, ARTIST, COMPOSER and custom tags like GROUPING (for the work name of a classical piece) and COMMENT. I have for example the following browse menus: Classical Music - Work - Composer - Artist - Title Classical Music - Album - Work - Title Classical Music - Composer - Work - Artist - Title Classical Music - Artist - Album - Work - Title These Custom Browse menus are based on the Mixed Tags template and worked perfectly in the past. However, since I switched to squeezeboxserver 7.6.1 all Artist, Composer and Album entries are always listed twice in the browse menus. This is independent of the level in which the Artist, Composer or Album is. So I get e.g. a composer browse list like Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Sebastian Beethoven, Ludwig van Beethoven, Ludwig van Chopin, Frederic Chopin, Frederic and so on. This happens only with Artist, Composer and Album but not with Work (GROUPING). I use also the COMMENT tag in some browse menus and this tag is also correctly listed once in each browse list. So it seems that only the standard tags are concerned but not the tags scanned with Custom Scan. This happens on the web interface, the squeezeboxes, the controller and in Squeezecommander on my Android phone. In the album browse list the first album name is preceeded by the album art (since in the mixed tags template I selected the corresponding level tag type as Album) whereas the second (double) entry does not have an album art in front. I enclose three samples of my Custom Browse xml files which I have renamed to *.txt files to be able to upload them. Could you please check if this is a bug in Custom Browse?

In the Custom Tags scanning module only GROUPING,TRACKNUM,COMMENT are included in the Tags to scan and the Single value tags fields. Where do I find the customscan.prefs file in ubuntu? And the menus worked as expected since a long time. Only after having switche from 7.5.5 to 7.6.1 the double entries appeared.

Thanks for all your efforts. All in all it is a great step forward in performance. I tried CustomBrowse and did not find any bug which may have been introduced with the changes. The only thing I noticed is the following. When you enter CustomBrowse's menus (artist, album ...) in several menu levels there is the menu item Play all. But when you select this item and click the Center button on the controller nothing happens. To play all you have to press the Play button. I don't know if this behaviour is on purpose and if it was already before the changes have been applied.

So it seems that there are no significant improvements over the second test version. For me the web interface is not relevant since I almost never use it. Optionally Caching the CB menus (with album art) would be great. If the menus are cached e.g. after a rescan (or after CustomScan has been finished) the data should always up to date. +---+ |Filename: server.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10028| +---+ -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 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

I hope the version was correctly installed since in the plugin page of SC settings there is still shown v2.10.test3.

I'm asking since I don't think A-Z menu itself should be affected by the above problem, so if this also is slow it would be great to get a lot from a scenario when you enter the A-Z menu to see what happens then. After I unchecked all mixes in CustomBrowse settings and restarted the server I had the following results: - Entering the CB Artist menu is now much faster (1-2 seconds). This is a huge improvement and the result is now almost the same as with the standard Artist menu. - Entering the S sub menu of the A-Z menu takes still about 15 seconds. There seems to be no improvement (and I can confirm that only the sub menu is slow, entering the A-Z menu itself is fast). - Entering the CB Album menu is still slow and takes about 12 to 16 seconds. In this menu album art is shown so this might be the reason for the bad performance. - In addition there is a problem that scrolling through a large menu item list does only work up to a specific entry, then it stops (I can scroll backwards but not forward and the further entries of the list are not shown). I then have to wait some time (can take up to 30 seconds or so) and only then I can further scroll through the list. This happens in all CB menus, i.e. long album lists, long artist lists and long title lists. It seems as if only a certain amount of memory is allocated when entering a menu and only the number of menu items fitting in this memory are shown. When during scrolling through the items the end of the memory is reached it takes some time until additional memory is allocated to show the further items in the list. For very long lists (like in the S title sub menu) this happens multiple times. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 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

Make it possible to configure Custom Browse to just show basic information and instead get better performance. I suspect this means that we for example need to skip album art. The issue currently is that to be able to display album art Custom Browse runs a separate query for each entry in the menu, the result if there are many items in the menu is poor performance. I think it might be pretty easy to add a configuration option to make it possible to configure it to not run these extra queries.I am quite sure that skipping album art is not a good idea. If you have a Touch then (I guess) you want to see album art. Further, I am not sure if album art is really the problem. For example, in the CustomBrowse menu Browse title by A-Z there is no album art shown, but the performance is bad. So how can album art be the reason for the bad performance if there is no album art shown at all? erland;549597 Wrote: 4. Create a new plugin which offers a bit less flexibility with the advantage of improved performance. If I select this route it might even result in making a special version of SBS which have the necessary plugin API changes to integrate it better with the core code. It would probably mean that only Linux and OSX would be supported, so I would prefer to find a different solution since many people still uses Microsoft's crap. I also guess that this may take some time. erland;549597 Wrote: The limited flexibility in option 4 would probably still satisfy 95% of the users since I suspect most users use about 5% of the potential of Custom Browse. The problem is just to get to know which 5% of the functionality this is so it can be included in the limited version. However, I really don't want to select option 4 if it means making a special version of SBS, it's only a way out if there isn't any other good options. Option 1 would be my preferred solution but I'm not yet convinced Logitech will prioritize this.In my special case it would be sufficient to be able to define different libraries depending on the Genre (I use multiple Genres and set Genre to the names of my children to define what should be in their libraries) and create regular Artist and Album browse menus which are in each case limited to the respective library. I could imagine that this is a feature which would use many people. I personally have additionally defined special browse menus for browsing classical music but this is more complicated. And as long as I use my old classic Squezeeboxes everything is fine. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 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

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Sorry, I didn't want to urge you (and I really did not expect a promise from you as to the problem will be solved). I appreciate your work for your plugins very much. I thought you may have already looked into the problem and can give a time estimate. If not, I will live with it and look for a workaround. Using a local USB device or a separate computer would mean to double all music since my son's music is completely included in the music of the main library. I think I will give the Touch a try to see how the performance of CustomBrowse is. Perhaps it is better as on the Controller, perhaps I find another workaround, or perhaps the CustomBrowse problem is solved until then ;) Thanks a lot for your efforts and your great plugins! -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 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

erland;540566 Wrote: Is the standard browse menus provided by Logitech also slow on the Controller ? No, the standard browse menus are much faster (sometimes about 10 times) Does it show more information about each item in the menu in Controller compared to the Classic/Boom interfaces ? No the information is the same. How many songs/artists/albums do you have in your library ? I have 12672 songs, 593 artists and 925 albums in my complete library. 11685 are non-classical songs, 903 are classical songs and there are additional 84 songs which are opera songs for which I have defined a separate library. How many items are shown in the menus that are slow ? In order to have classical music separated from non-classical I have defined with MultiLibrary two different libraries, one comprising all classical music and the other comprising all non-classical music, and a third library comprising operas. With CustomBrowse I have then defined an artist and an album browse structure which are identical to the standard artist and album browse structure except that they are restricted to the non-classical library (to avoid that classical music is listed when browsing the artist and the album menus). For the classical music I have a separate, different browse structure. When I enter the first level of the browse menus by pressing right on the Artist or on the Album menu item it takes about 8 to 10 seconds on the controller until the artist list or the album list is displayed when using the CustomBrowse menus. When I use the standard artist or album menus it takes usually less than a secondt until the artist or the album list is displayed. In addition I have defined a browse tracks menu shown an A-Z list on the first level (this is one of your standard menus) which is also restricted to the non-classical library. Entering the first level (showing the A to Z) is fast, but entering the second level showing the track titles takes also up to 10 seconds. I guess it takes the longer the more tracks are to be displayed. In addition there is a problem that scrolling through a large list does only work up to a specific entry, then it stops (I can scroll backwards but no forward and the further entries are even not shown). I then have to wait some time (can take up to 30 seconds or so) and only then I can further scroll through the list. Is it only menus that contains a lot of items that are slow ? Yes, it seems that the problem increases with the number of items which are in total stored under the browse structure. I just tested to enter the S list of my tracks which took about 13 seconds. Entering the X list took less than 1 second. In the S level there are about 1200 tracks but in the X level there are only two. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 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

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen on squeezeboxserver 7.4
I have just seen that on the settings page of MusicInfoScr there is an option Show playlist name for online streams. In the info it is described that online streams sometimes don't have the artist and/or the album tag set and with this option enabled the playlist name of the online stream can be displayed instead of an empty tag. I have tried this option but it makes no difference in the display output which is correct since the tag concerned in the present case is the COMPOSER tag. However, could it be that TitleSwitcher, MusicInfoScr or even a core component of Squeezebox Server displays the playlist name (whatever this is in an online stream) if the COMPOSER tag is empty? As alreday mentioned, it seems that always the name of the menu item is displayed at which the PLAY button was pressed, so it could be that this is be default the playlist name. And since in some cases the COMPOSER and the ARTIST are treated similarly (there is e.g. an option to include composer in the search for artist) there could be a cross connection which lead to the present problem. At the moment it seems that the problem is related to the TitleSwitcher plugin since it does not show up if MusicInfoScr is used without TitleSwitcher. But the replacement rule could in my opinion even be defined in the core of Squeezebox Server and there is only a wrong handling how TitleSwitcher communicates the empty COMPOSER tag to the core component. I have no idea if this makes sense but if I can give you any information which could help to track down this bug I will do. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70061 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

In MIS 4.4.5 it's better but still not correct. I shortly tested it this morning. In last.fm I selected PLAY on menu item My Recommendations. The display switched then between Thriller (Michael Jackson) and Thriller (My Recommendations). The second one is obviously wrong. It seems that TITLE (ARTIST) is handled correctly and in GROUPING (COMPOSER) the GROUPING part is correctly not switched (since GROUPING is empty) but the COMPOSER part is switched although COMPOSER is also empty and somehow the string My Recommendation is displayed. For internet radio the display switched between Top 40-Pop (Bayern 3 97,3) and Top 40-Pop (Bayern 3 97,3(Top 40 Popmusik)). Again the first is correct and the second (comprising the COMPOSER part) is incorrect. The funny thing is that the additional string (Top 40 Popmusik) with the additional parantheses cannot be found in the properties of the radio station. None of the tags which can be shown by pressing RIGHT comprises this string. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70061 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen on squeezeboxserver 7.4
I use the TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen plugins to switch display every 15 seconds between TITLE (ARTIST) and GROUPING (COMPOSER) i.e. for example Molto vivace (Leonard Bernstein) and Symphony No. 9 (Beethoven, Ludwig van) GROUPING is a tag scanned with the CustomScan plugin in which I store the work title for classical music. For non-classical music GROUPING and COMPOSER are empty since I set the composer only for classical music. Since the TitleSwitcher plugin does only switch display if the used tags are not empty, the result is that for non-classical music the display of my squeezbox always shows TITLE (ARTIST) while the switching described above takes place only for classical music. For me that is a perfect solution that takes into account that for classical music composer, artist, work, and movement (which is stored in TITLE) should be displayed while for non-classical music only artist and track title should be displayed. This worked perfectly with SC 7.3 for all kind of music sources. In 7.4 it works only correctly for music from my local library but it does not work correctly for music from internet radios and last.fm. For example, when I hear music from last.fm the display switches between TITLE (ARTIST) and TITLE If you look into the enclosed server.log it seems that the MusicInfoScreen plugin has problems with the COMPOSER tag which is not set for the last.fm music (although there are no problems with my own non-classical music for which this tag is also not set). Same problem happens with internet radio. For example, if I hear radio station Bayern 3 the display switches between Top-40 Pop (Bayern 3 97,3) and Top-40 Pop Note that Top-40 Pop is always the contents of the TITLE tag and Bayern 3 97,3 is the contents of the ARTIST tag for this radio station since the real artist names and titles are not transmitted. Of course the GROUPING and the COMPOSER tags are not set so it seems to be the same problem as with last.fm. I don't know if it is a problem with the TitleSwitcher or with the MusicInfoScreen plugin. But I know that it worked perfectly with SC 7.3 even for last.fm and internet radio. I enclose also screenshots from the settings for TitleSwitcher and MusicInfoScreen.

Sorry, I did not know that I have to run the setup script, I will try that this evening and report. When I switched from Windows XP to Ubuntu 9.04 (using SC 7.3) I recognized that after a SC crash it was automatically restarted (which is different from the Windows version). On Ubuntu there is a squeezeboxserver_safe process running in addition to the normal squezeboxserver which may restart squeezboxserver automatically if it dies? So it could be that restart is on purpose and it may be that shutdown from SvrPowerControl always had this behavior.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I tracked down my problems a bit. The problems seem only to occure with the MixedTag menu template. All menus based on this template show the described problems while my other menus based on other templates do not. I finally created a test library comprising only one classical and one non-classical album (i.e. there was also only one classical artist and one non-classical artist). Further I created two MixedTag menus from scratch wich both only contained ARTIST on the first level. One menu was restricted to the classical part of my test library (defined with the Multi Library plugin) and the other was restricted to the non-classical part. When browsing in the web interface through the created menus, in both cases the (in each case only) artist was listed three times. When clicking on each of these artists the correct album was shown. However, I noticed that on top of the web page only for one of the appearances the correct artist name was shown in the displayed hierarchy chain (Classical-Artist-Ivo Pogorelich). For the two other appearances artists were displayed which were not part of the test library. So it seems that there are some rests of my regular library either from the squeezebox server cache or from the cache from CustomBrowse although I made a wipe and rescan after I had reduced my library to the test library. Further, I did not mention that I copied my prefs directories back after having upgraded from 7.3.4 to 7.4.1 in order to preserve my settings. Could the be the reason for my problems or is there indeed a bug in CustomScan and/or CustomBrowse and/or the MixedTag template? Since I have not yet received a response to any of my previous posts, Erland, could you please confirm in a short answer that you have recognized the posts. I have to admit that I am not completely clear if the present thread is the correct one or if I should have chosen the Announce: Squeezebox Server 7.4 beta versions of erlands plugins thread. At the moment my classical music is almost not accessible and I would therefore really appreciate if you could have a look into the described problems.

Thanks for your answer. I did not know about /etc/sudoers but this was probably the reason that my logging did not work. As mentioned, I have disabled SvrPowerPlugin at the moment to be sure that the server crashes are really related to the plugin. Until now the server did not crash and I will wait 2-3 days to confirm this. If there are no further crashes, I will re-enable SvrPowerControl with debug set to on and see what happens. You mentioned earlier that I should disable Gnomes Power Managment. I see that a process gnome-power-manager ist running, but do not know where it is started. Do you know how I can disable it that it is not started on boot?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
Yes I am running the GUI version of Ubuntu. I have already disabled Power Saving in the System, Settings, Power Managment menu (I am not sure what the correct English menu names are since I am running the German version of Ubuntu). In addition I deselected acpid and apmd in System, System Settings, Services. However, I saw in the SystemMonitoring tool that there is still a process gnome-power-manager running. In addition, I have meanwhile the impression that the problem is not that SvrPowerControl sends the computer to suspend mode but that the server crashes (due to the SvrPowerControl plugin?). I run Squeezenter now for one day with the plugin deactivated and had no problems. About one hour ago I activated the plugin and restarted Squeezecenter (idle time is set to 45 min in the plugin). I did not play music for 45 minutes and the computer correctly went into suspend mode. I woke it up (using wol) and started playing music. After about 15 minutes music suddenly stopped. Since I was not in the living room at this time I run to the cellar where the computer stays but everything looked normal. I then run to the living room but the squeezebox looked normal except that music was stopped. This happened again 7 minutes later and further 25 minutes again. I then looked into the squeezecenter log file and found three SqueezeCenter died. Restarting. entries. I will now deactivate the plugin again and see if this stops happening. One further notice: To see when the plugin sends the computer to suspend I added the line sudo /bin/date /home/dieter/sc_suspend in the settings line Optional action to take while not idle: of the plugin. However, although I have given the directory /home/dieter and the file sc_suspend write access for all no entries are appended to this file. In the server log each minute an entry is found Plugins::SrvrPowerCtrl::Util::SystemExecCmd (310) Now trying to execute sudo /bin/date /home/dieter/sc_suspend.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
I just changed from my Windows Squeezecenter Installation to Ubuntu 9.04. In addition I installed the SvrPowerControl plugin since I want to suspend my ubuntu system when the players are idle. I had now twice the problem that my computer was sent to suspend mode although music was just playing. Is there a known problem like that? This does not always happend but only sometimes. In my previous Windows installation I simply used the Windows power save management. This was smart enough to send Windows only into suspend mode when no music was playing. It seems that Windows not only checks mouse movement and keyboard inputs but in addtion e.g. hard disk activity (or something else). In Ubuntu I had the problem that the default power management sends the computer to suspend mode when there is no mouse movement and keyboard input but it does no further check. So the computer was sent to suspend mode although music was playing. That was the reasond that I switched to SvrPowerControl (but have now the above problems). Even if SvrPowerControl works as expected, I miss an option that the plugin checks for other activities of the computer, e.g. hard disk activity or network traffic. For example, I make sometimes backups of my music files from the harddisk of my music server to an external harddisk. If no music is played while the backup is running SvrPowerControl does suspend my computer and breaks the backup procedure. A similar problem arises if e.g. a linux update is running and SvrPowerControl sends the computer into suspend mode. Is there a chance that such additional checks will be included in SvrPowerControl? -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

While on the squeezebox I don't see any significant performance difference when browsing with CustomBrowse compared to the standard browse menus, there is a huge difference using the controller. I use CustomBrowse mainly for creating a special browse structure for browsing classical music. For this part I have to stick with CustomBrowse since the standard menus cannot handle classical music appropriate. But for browsing non-classical music the standard browse menus are sufficiant except that I don't want to see my classical music when browsing non-classical music. Thus, I used your multi library plugin for creating a classical and a non-classical library. For non-classical music I created menus which are identical to the standard browse menu but are restricted to the non-classical library. As mentioned, this works perfectly on the squeezebox but is very slow on the controller, so that for non-classical music I had now to switch back to the standard browse menus (which of course means that my classical music is also displayed during browsing). It would really be great if performance could be improved on the controller that your great plugin can be used flawlessly on the controller. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 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

I missed that menu template, duplicate lines will be available in next version if you have set the tag type to album in the menu configuration.

Fact is, that for my mixed tag menu having the structure Classical - Albums - Grouping - Tracks no second line is shown at the album level although the tag type is set to album. You mentioned earlier that you forgot to update this template. Did you really amend it meanwhile (I tried to find by browsing the source on your download page but was not successful)? Or does simply the download not work? I found one further bug with the menus on the controller. I replaced the standard Albums menu with a CustomBrowse Albums menu which simply restricts this menu to non-classical songs (using a non-classical library created with the multi library plugin). When browsing by albums for Various artists albums no second line is shown. There should the user defined string for Various Artists (I have set it to German Diverse) be displayed. A further (very small) difference compared to the standard Albums menu is that when scrolling through the tracks of a selected album using CustomBrowse there is the big selection letter in the background shown (which shows at which letter you are during scrolling). The point is that this letter does not change within one album according to the first letter of the current track but stays always at the first letter of the current album. In contrast, in the standard browse album menu when scrolling to the track list of an album no big letter is shown at all. Finally, as previously mentioned, the CustomBrowse menus are sometimes very slow.

I have a CustomBrowse menu for my classical music having a structure like Code: Classical Music - Composer - Work (and further sub menus) - Work - Composer (and further sub menus) - Album - Work (and further sub menus) - Artist - Album (and further sub menus) In this menu structure under the two Album levels no entries are shown. These worked with the previous version of CustomBrowse and it still works on my Squeezeboxes (only the controller shows empty album sub menus). I have also an album main menu entry for my non classical music which works. And further, as already reported by Moonbase, it takes a long time until the menu entries are displayed under my non classical album and also under my non classical artist main menu entry. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 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

I now found that when I set the level 1 tag type (or the level 2 tag type for the artist-album menu) to album the menu works and the albums are shown. This seems only be necessary for the controller. However, the (new) second line is still missing for these albums. Is there a settings somewhere (like show artist with album in the regular album menu template?). erland;408816 Wrote: Which menu templates are the slow menus based on ? Is it showing the track list that is slow on your non classical album or is it the album list in both menus ?It is the album list created with the regular album template (I only selected my library non classical to filter classical music from the normal album list). I had a further problem with a menu comprising a German umlaut in the menu name (and also in the corresponding multi library name). The name was Oper u.ä. (means opera and similar). This menu was also empty on the controller. I now changed the multi-library name and the name of the CustomBrowse menu to Oper u.a. and now it works. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] MusicInfoSCR 4.3 - now with theOriginal Boom Booklet Layout
Will there be a version of the MusicInfoSCR plugin for the controller or is there another way to control what is displayed on the screen of the controller? -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53347 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Error in CustomBrowse sorting

Further, I noticed that each of the compilations show up several times within the album list, namely for each track artist of the compilation separately. However, the each is not correct. For some unknown reason the same compilation shows up separately for some of the track artists of this compilation, for others it doesn't. Until now I have not found any systematic behavior behind this. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60152 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

erland;396913 Wrote: Are you saying that all your compilations have ALBUMARTIST set ?Yes, I don't rely on the automatic detection of compilations and set for all compilations COMPILATION=1 and ALBUMARTIST=Diverse (which is defined in the SqueezeCenter options as string for Various Artists). erland;396913 Wrote: I thought the default settings with Roles to Include set to artist and album artist should do this if you have ALBUMARTIST set as you describe above but I haven't tested it myself.This seems not to work.

It's a pity to hear that, since the two-line design looks much better. Maybe the new database design will overcome this problem. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60152 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicInfoScr and TitleSwitcher for the Controller?
Is there a was that MusicInfoScr and TitleSwitcher can be used to adapt the contents of the now playing screen on the controller? For example, for classical music the standard display of TITLE, ALBUM and ARTIST is not enough (for me). I would in addition prefer to see COMPOSER and GROUPING (which I use to store the name of the classical work). On my squeezeboxes I use the MusicInfoScr plugin in combination with the TitleSwitcher plugin to display artist/composer and title/grouping. But on the Controller this seems not to work. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60209 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Error in CustomBrowse sorting
I have created an album browse menu with CustomBrowse for which I set Default album sorting to By artist (inspired by a similar sorting option for the standard album menu in my new Squeezebox Controller). When I browse the standard browse album menu on the Controller the albums are correctly sorted by artists which have their own complete album and the compilations are sorted under artist name Diverse (German for Various which I have set explicitly for all compilation albums to ALBUMARTIST) In contrast, when I browse the created CustomBrowse album menu the compilations are mixed within the regular albums. I tried different settings for the Roles to include checkboxes in the CustomBrowse menu definition page but nothing led to the correct result. Further, on the Controller, in all browse lists showing albums (starting e.g. from browse artist or browse albums) there is shown the album art on the left, the album name right to the album art and additionally the artist name below the album name. In the menu album list created with CustomBrowse there is shown the album name right to the album art and the artist is shown in parantheses after the album name (for compilations nothing is shown after the album name). It would be great if on the Controller display the artist name could be displayed below the album name as it is in the standard album browse menu of the Controller since with the present display most of the time scrolling is necessary to see the artist name. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60152 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
