I am still using SlimServer 6.2.2 and the latest version (43) of lazy search working with slimserver 6.2.2 Is that already known (and solved in a later version)? Dieter Yes, I believe we've seen that and it has been fixed (but only in the very latest release from a week or so ago - r70 - coincidentally). Unfortunately, if you're running 6.2.2 then as you know already you're on the latest release that works with that version as all the later ones work against the 6.5 development branch (so you'd have to be using a recent nightly of that branch, I'm afraid). So, I think there's a couple of choices: 1. Move to the development nightlies (which may be much more trouble than you're willing to accept) 2. Put up with it (if you press PLAY on the artist name rather than browsing in and choosing the all songs instead then I think it should work OK and give you the same effect). 3. If neither of the above are options for you then let me know and I'll see whether it's possible to apply that particular fix on top of the r43 release that you're using. I've not tried that and I've not looked at the 6.2.2 version for a little while, so it may or may not be possible, but let me know. Glad you like it, I appreciate it.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: LazySearch Problem
Since my wife and my children recently started to use the squeezebox I don't want to switch to 6.5 with all its possible bugs (in fact my wife recognized the all songs bug since she selected all songs and expected to see only all songs of the selected artist). I always press PLAY on the artist's name which shows the desired effect, so I did not recognize the all songs bug. If you want to serve my wife ;) it would be great if this bug would also be fixed in the 6.2.2 version. If this is not possible or makes too much trouble we can live with it and wait until the 6.5 version will be more stable. -- dip dip's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=902 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18760 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Ah, yes, you're quite right. It's harmless and it'll be fixed for the
next release (not sure when that will be). If it's bothering you then
you could change line 600 of the plugin from:

to
if ( $method ( $method eq 'pop' ) ) {
Sorry about that, and thanks for letting me know.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: LazySearch Problem
The other day I did a search for an artist using LazySearch and it came up with all the proper results. However, a lot of the songs I have in my library for the found artist didn't have the Album tag filled out so it said No Album. When I pressed right on No Album it showed me the songs for the artist I searched for, but whan I pressed play on one of the songs, ALL songs in my library with No Album got added to my Now Playing playlist! In contrast, I went through the normal Browse Songs - By Artist menu and did the same thing which behaved properly: only the songs for the selected artist were added; not all artists with No Album. Is this a bug or is it the expected behavior? -- kyleki kyleki's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2510 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18760 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I don't think I've heard of anything quite like that. The closest I know of is when you're playing an album that has a name the same as another album, as SlimServer will assume the tracks from both albums actually belong to the same album. Is that what you're getting? If not, read on... Which version are you using? I'm not sure that would be relevant unless it's a really old one, but it might help me. Can you describe the steps you go through to get this problem? Ie something like: select album/track/artist search, enter three search characters, wait two seconds, see x results, scroll down, press play. I'm keen to know exactly what you did with the remote to get there, you see. Assuming it's a track search, when you play that track is the one you get one with the same name (or very similar), or totally different? You definitely shouldn't be getting that behaviour, though (unless it's the same album name problem mentioned at the top - and then there's a workaround if that's what you've got).

Yep, that was it. Thanks hickinbottoms, I would have never found that. I guess that's one downside to having so many options on this thing. But a good thing when it's all working correctly. _JD_ hickinbottoms Wrote: Sorry you're having trouble. Once you've pressed RIGHT from the search results returned by Lazy Search you're into the standard SlimServer browse music function, so I don't expect it's anything particular to my plugin (but I could be mistaken). Are you sure that the setting Server Settings-Behaviour-Play Other Songs In Album isn't set to Play Other Songs in Album or Directory? I did a quick check and that gave the behaviour you described. If not post back and we can probably do some more investigation; it certainly shouldn't do what you're describing if your behaviour setting isn't set to Play Only Selected Song. -- jonDough jonDough's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18760 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
