Currently there are two solutions available: 1. Run several Squeezebox Server instances, one for FLAC and one for MP3. To switch between the library you switch server. Two Squeezebox Server instances can be set up like: - On two separate computers - On separate virtual computers on the same real computer using virtualbox or similar virtualization tool. - On a single computer by configuring the network card so it's exposed as two different IP addresses and connect each Squeezebox Server instance to its own IP address. This alternative is a bit tricky unless you know what you are doing.
2. Use the Multi Library and Custom Browse third party plugins to setup a virtual library for FLAC and another virtual library for MP3. The standard browse menus will still be connected to the total library, it's only the menus provided through Custom Browse that will show a single library. Some of the standard menus can be replaced with the Custom Browse version. If you like to go this route, you can probably pickup some ideas on this wiki page: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Setup_kids_room_SqueezeBox Unfortunately neither of these solution results in a perfect setup. There are plans for multiple library support in a future version of Squeezebox Server, currently targeted to a 8.x release. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77257 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
