Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Album Review on Controller and OS X
Dave, Michael, I think that part of the problem is that I probably have a high proportion of obscure albums in my collection, mostly jazz from the 1960s and 1970s which do not have allmusic reviews and hence return a list of 'close matches' in Album Review. I've updated the plugin. You should now be able to chose from that list and browse into its review. Please give v2.7.0 a try.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Album Review on Controller and OS X
to behave properly. I get a display on the Controller with the correct album title and a list of two or three (sometimes many more) alternatives which match the title to choose from. However, at this point, the Controller does not respond to vertical scrolling commands from the scrollwheel, but just sits there refusing to allow selection of one of the listed albums for highlighting and reading the review. Is this a list of albums found? Does this happen with _all_ albums, or only some? A list is shown if for a given album/artist combo no unique result is found.

What version of AlbumReview are you using? -- Michael Yes, it appears to be a list where a single unique choice is not available. No, not all - where there is a single result the display goes immediately to the detailed review for that album. Agreed - but it is the inability to navigate these lists which is the problem for me. v 2.6.0 davep -- davep davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Clicking on one of the listed titles takes you to a separate All Music window containing the relevant review. davep -- davep davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Right. But lack of web browser this isn't implemented yet for the Controller ;-). I have some code for similar cases in Biography. Might try to do this for AlbumReview too. But as for now, this is not implemented. You said this was important to you: what are your album names which aren't found? -- Michael ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

However a good example of an album which gives me trouble but does have a review is Mingus's 'Blues Roots. Using the Album Review plugin on this produces a list of two entries - the original album and the Japanese re-issue. On the allmusic website the reviews for each of these are identical but each has a unique cover shot picture since the covers were different for the two releases, and I think perhaps the track listing for the alternate takes may also differ. In any case allmusic chooses to present this as two entries and hence I get a list of two on the Controller, neither of which I can actually select to read since scrolling doesn't work. As another example, clicking on Cream's Albert Hall 2005 set gets me 4 or 5 listings, including one for the DVD. Having said that, when it does work - and this is the case with the majority of the searches I do - it works well and is a valuable addition to the overall usefulness of the Controller as an aid to a good listening session. davep -- davep davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62859 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
