The options available are: Option 1: (With Custom Browse or standard Browse) - Make sure the shuffle mode is in "Shuffle by song" - Browse to an artist and hit play
Option 2: (With Custom Browse) - Browse to an artist and hold play down for a while and then select "Random". This will play 20 random tracks for the selected artist. The number of tracks played is configurable in Server Settings/Plugin in Custom Browse section and the "mixsize" property. Option 3: (With Dynamic Playlist + SQLPlayList) - In SQLPlayList, create a new "Top rated for artist", change the playlist name to "Random songs for artist" or something similar. - You now have the following options: -- Goto "Plugin/Dynamic Playlists" and then select the playlist you created and hit play, you will get a list of all artists, select the one you like to play. -- Browse to the artist in one of the browse menus and hold down play for a while, now select Dynamic Playlist from the shown menu and then select "Random songs for artist" (or whatever you called your playlist created earlier) There are probably other options also available which I don't remember at the moment. It would be possible to create a browse menu in Custom Browse that works exactly as you like, but I'm not sure this is needed since the available options seems pretty good. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/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=36187 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
