Agreed. But People still do want to play a mix of all their music. Alas, the Random Mix plugin hasn't been ported to Jive yet. Patches welcome. On Sep 24, 2007, at 12:30 PM, kdf wrote: > > bklaas;229544 Wrote: >> I'll try out this patch and see how it flies. No doubt this will get >>

The change was 12610, in Slim/Web/BrowseDB, specifically to add the levelName param to the "All $category" links so that artwork shows for all*. However, the art is not applicable and in my test case here, isn't even a valid return due to unknown column errors. -kdf -- kdf -
