Thank you. Successfully reverted to version 2.
I had 2 available plugin updates and the Dynamic Playlist one showed the
warning about uninstalling the old one first so I unchecked it and
picked apply but when the server restarted both had been updated!
It's good that someone has taken over
I somehow update to version 3 (despite unselecting it) without removing
version 2 first.
What do I do now?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear.
I meant how to dsiplay the tag info for the returned URLs using Database
Query.
I am trying to get a list of my top rated tracks to export to a file.
Using Database query I have this...

I have rebuilt my LMS server and have my old backup file from Trackstat.
I want to use this to import only the ratings, but not added, playcount
or lastplayed.
If I modify the file by removing all sections and any
lines from that start with , or
will this work?
Or is there an easier way?
The above seems to be true in the web interface only!
I have just noticed that Squeeze Commander and Material Skin on my
Tablet both display the title in the correct format. (without the
additional by/from)
Orange Squeeze seems to be doing its own thing, but I'm not too worried
about that.
It's a standard Artists menu generated through Custom Browse settings
"create new menu".
In my Settings > Interface I have
Web Interface: Default
Show Artist with Albums: Disabled
Show Year with Albums: Disabled
Title Format: TITLE
If I change the title format it appends "by" (with no artist
In my Custom Browse menus when I drill down to track level I get
(track title) by from (album name)
where the bits in brackets are variables.
Which setting controls this behaviour?
I would like to turn off the "by" (which is always blank) and "from"
bits and just show the track title.
