Im pleased to announce v2.2.2 of the Lazy Search Music plugin for
SlimServer 6.5.x and 7.0. This has no major changes, but quite a few
minor enhancements and bugfixes.
Brief details of the changes are as follows:
- It should now be possible to search for accented characters with
lazy search as they are treated as though they are unaccented (eg
Björk can be searched for as BJORK). Thanks to Kim B. Heino for
reporting it and testing the fix.
- Finnish translation added (thanks very much to Kim B. Heino for the
patch). This also corrected a couple of English and Danish string
errors.
- Punctuation is now removed from the lazified version so you can
search for IVE when the title was Ive etc.
- You can now enter keyword searches involving 0′ or space
characters as well as multiple keywords. A short press of 0′
will enter a 0′ into the search text (just like any other
number), but a long press will enter a , to separate different
keywords). Thanks Dieter for the suggestion and the testing.
- A new preference and behavior has been added to control whether
ALBUMARTISTs are returned in keyword search results. This is useful
if you tag compilations with an ALBUMARTIST of Various Artists
because its the individual tracks artists youre interested in.
Thanks to Dieter for testing it.
- The users choice of whether COMPOSER, CONDUCTOR and BAND are
considered artists is now honoured for normal lazy searches and
keyword searches. Thanks to Richard Harnwell for testing.
- Fixed a problem where duplicate results would be returned from
keyword searches when there were multiple contributors set the same.
- Keyword search results will now display song titles formatted in
the usual way (so theyll include the track number, for example).
- New options have been added to the SEARCH button behaviour
preference (on server settings->plugins), so that the user can also
choose to make it enter a specific search category rather than the
category menu. With this he can, for example, press SEARCH and
immediately start entering a keyword search. Thanks to Kim B. Heino
for the suggestion and testing.
- The plugin will now automatically re-lazify the database contents
if the plugin version is changed. This means you should no longer
have to go through a lengthy clear-and-rescan just because youve
upgraded the plugin.
- Added Mac OS X installation instructions (thanks to Zack Shapiro
for providing them).
Note that the plugin has now been enhanced to rebuild the lazy search
indexing in the database if the plugin version has changed. This means
you wont have to perform a tedious clear-and-rescan when you upgrade
to this or any newer version of the plugin.
As always, pile on in and pick it up from here:
