If there is an enhancement, they also decide if they like to add it to SqueezeCenter and thus also manage the potential support issues later related to it. If they decide it's worth adding the decide which release they like to add it to. Usually critical bug corrections is added to the next fix release (7.0.x in this case), small enhancement is added to the next major release (7.1 in this case) and larger enhancements is added to a future release after the next major release (7.2 or later in this case). I suspect this is something that might be added to 7.1 or 7.2 if they decide they like to manage the support issues for this new option.
The only good way that end users can affect this decision is to vote on the registered enhancement request at http://bugs.slimdevices.com MrSinatra;309158 Wrote: > > here's my next question... > > does SC 'know' that an album is a compilation based on the internal > ALBUMARTIST field? > > meaning, lets say VA detection was turned off, and you had no comp tags > at all of any kind, if the ALBUMARTIST field was populated by the string > "Various Artists" then sure, it would sort the album there, BUT would it > know the album was a compilation album, (based on the string data)? > > and if it did not know this, what would be the drawback?

If I'm reading the code correctly, I think the only albums that will be considered compilation with the new option disabled is those with a COMPILATION tag. I'm not sure what will happen with albums with an album artist named "Various Artists". If you like to help, you can verify how it works with and without the patch. If you are using Windows, you will need to install ActiveState perl and run slimserver.pl manually to be able to use the patch after you have applied it. If you feel this is to complicated, it would also help if you could just verify how this work today (without the patch). -- 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 Database Query 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=47297 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
