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

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

The menu should probably have a bit more options to make it possible to decide how to show real compilations where ALBUMARTIST isn't set, but I don't think that will solve your situation. dip;396870 Wrote: > > 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.

[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
