Your ideas are all great, keep more comming. Some comments regarding some of the already posted ideas:
BERNT - Your idea to sort albums by year when an artist already has been selected in the parent menu seems logical, I will change this. GUSI - Searching is out of scope for the Custom Browse plugin at the moment. DR LOVEGROVE - Releated information is currently not in the slimserver database which also makes your idea out of the scope at the moment, a great idea though if the relation information could be retreived from some web site. MARC SHERMAN - Defining menus for different genre combinations should definitely be possible with Custom Browse. I will just have to think about it a bit to see if there is a way to make the menus easy to configure. Today you will have to hard code the genre names in the *.cb.xml files which makes it a bit hard. It might be possible to have some sort of template based solution similar to what I have in the SQLPlayList plugin. RADISH - Your albums menu with separated compilations and artist albums should be quite simple, I'll try to include it in next release. JJZOLX - The Years menu sorted in descending order seems logical. - Regarding the Albums within the Years menu that is sorted by artist, its definitely possible. I'm not sure however that I want to make this the default though, it seems logical in one way but I think I would like it to display both the album and artist if this should be the default. I think I have to experiment a litte with it to see how it looks like. - The Genres menu as I see it is just a more shallow menu since the artist is not a menu level instead the albums are sorted by artist. I think this could be included as a sample. - Regarding the editing of XML files I have been thinking about a web UI, but haven't found a good solution that makes it both easy to use and not so hard to develop. At the moment I am thinking that it might be a good idea to be able to generate the xml files base on a number of selections and then edit them manually, similar to the way SQLPlayList works. - Adding the menus to the Home is probably possible, I will add this to the wishlist. - Someone else has to take the decision if this should be a core part of slimserver or not, at the moment I think its best as a plugin since it isn't very user friendly and the code inside is quite different from the code in the standard slimserver. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist), 'Custom Browse' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-custombrowse) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27903 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
