[SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Browse Question
One, hopefully simple, question... Is it possible to set a sort for the menu groups? I see and have found the sorting within groups is fairly straight forward, but the groups themselves seem to sort alphabetically only. I want to try and have certain menu groups appear first without necessarily changing the group names. -- emalvick emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91988 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Try changing the section
Code:
track
track
sql
To something like:
Code:
track
titleformat
TRACKNUM. TITLE (ARTIST)
^(.*)\s\((.*)\)$
sql
It will also affect the web interface so the result is that the artist
in the web interface won't be clickable, but if you are only/mostly
using iPeng this might not be an issue.

We need to get pippin in here if you like an answer for this, I suspect
it isn't possible to accomplish this in third party menus. The track
length can probably be added but it will be added directly after the
track title or artist name and not justified to the right edge. The
year is probably a limitation in iPeng where it only display the top 2
rows from the parent menu in the header.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Browse question
Thank you very much, Erland!My menu is working now. But now yet perfectly. The track menu (the one which show tracks from the selected album) needs still some little improvements. I remind that I am talking about how things are shown in iPeng for iPad. In standard track menu the track number is shown before the track name, but in my menu track number is after the track name and justified on right edge. In standard track menu the artist name is shown under the track name, but in menu it is not shown at all. In standard track menu the length of the track is shown on the same row than artist name and justified on right edge. In standard track menu the year of the album is shown on the header (?) row justified on right. In my menu year isn't shown at all. Well, I admit that all of those things above are definitely not high priority requirements, but any advices/help would be appreciate. -- auster auster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86949 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Ok, this simplifies it a bit as I assume this means you are able to
experiment with the XML/SQL yourself.
The trick to get multiple rows is to use the "jivepattern" element.
The jivepattern element is a regular expression with matching groups
within (), it will be matched towards the returned string from the SQL
and each matching group will be shown on a separate row.
So for example:
^(.*)\s\((.*)\)$
Means that everything before ( will be shown on the first row and
everything within the ( and ) will be shown on the second row.
So if the SQL returns:
Some album (artist1, artist2)
The result in iPeng will be:
Some album
artist1,artist2
My guess is that you probably want to have a matching pattern that
looks something like:
^(.*)\s\((.*)\)\s\((.*)\)$
Which means that if you make the SQL result look like:
Some album (artist1, artist2) (1985)
It will in iPeng be show as:
Some album
artist1, artist2
1985

Thank you for your response! erland;624594 Wrote: > So you want an Albums menu sorted by RELEASEDATE ? > Descending or ascending order ? > Only by RELEASEDATE or by artist first and then RELEASEDATE ? First by artist (asc), then by year (asc), and then by RELEASEDATE (asc). I will try to be more specific: I am mainly using iPeng for iPad for controlling my Squeezebox Touch. In iPeng I use mainly the Artist/All Artists menu (from the top level I select Artists and then from that sub menu I select All Artists). All the albums are listed (also compilations) and they are sorted by: artist (asc), year (asc), album (asc). In most cases that would be more than fine with me. However I would like to have some modifications for this behaviour: 1) Some artists have released more than one album in same year, and those albums are sorted (inside year) ascending by album name and not by releasing order so I would like to add one more sorting key: releasing date (=custom tag). The sorting order shall be: artist (asc), year (asc), releasedate (asc) (and maybe album name (asc)). Since most of the files are not tagged with this custom tag RELEASEDATE I need use also year for sorting. 2) I would like to have my new menu at the top level (=the same level as Custom Browse) and not under the Custom Browse menu 3) I would like that selecting my new menu at the top level goes straight to the album list view without sub menu where I have to select All Artists (or something similar). 4) The new menu should looked just as standard iPeng menu above: for every album I want to see album name, album artist and year. The album artist and year are listed on their own rows and with smaller font than album name. So far I have managed to create a new menu which is almost the way I want, but not quite. I am still having my menu under the Custom Browse menu and I havent managed to fullfill my requirements #4. The albums are listed in correct order, I can see album name and year (with smaller font than album name and also separate rows). I can show album artist instead of year, but not both of them (album artist and year) as I want. English is not my first language but I hope you can get what I am trying to say. -- auster auster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86949 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Browse question
Anyone could help me or point me to the right direction? I am trying to create my first custom browse menu. I would like to have menu which lists all my albums in following order: artistsort, year, custom tag. I have added custom tag RELEASEDATE (-MM-DD) to the files and I have also configured and run Custom Scan to read this tag. The reason of the custom RELEASEDATE tag is that some (ancient ;))artists have more than one albums released per year and I would like to have them in correct order. This RELEASEDATE tag is used only when necessary (meaning that most of the albums don't have it). I hope someone (who can get sense of my goal) can help me how do this. -- auster auster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86949 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

But I'm not sure why. I'd assumed that configuring it to replace the standard SBS menu of "Years" with "Composers" would, well, do just that :-) I never use the "Years" menu, and I wanted the "Composers" one, so replacing the one with the other seemed logical. I've obviously not understood what the "SELECT REPLACEMENTS OF STANDARD SQUEEZEBOX SERVER MENUS" is for, so any explanation would be gratefully received.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Browse question
It looks like you have configured the year menu to be replaced with
Composers in "SBS Settings/Plugins/Custom Browse/Squeezebox Server
Menus". This is probably the reason you don't see it in the web
interface.
So, is this configuration intentional ? If it isn't, just change it
back to "Do not replace".
If it is intentional, there might be some bug in the replacement logic.
