I, too, was unable to get Custom Browse (or some other, but not all, Erland plugins) to load with version 7.9.1.x. I experienced the exact same behavior as posted in this thread and I emailed Erland about it a week ago. I also use Max2Play as the admin UI for my Raspberry Pi 2, which is designed, in case it's unknown, as a media platform that includes both LMS and SqueezeLite to create a contained media player running on the Raspberry Pi hardware. I personally have a Radio in my bedroom and a Classic in my livingroom connected via TOSLink cable to my AV receiver (I still *NEED* LOL my Maggies for my classical, jazz, and opera) as well as a HiFiBerry TOSlink capable RPi2 add-on board (which works quite well). I confirm Nojelc's reported behavior that down-grading Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1510044676 @ Tue Nov 7 15:33:55 UTC 2017 to Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1488878280 @ Wed Mar 8 14:18:44 UTC 2017 allows Custom Browse installation. So, something Michael changed in the SqueezeServer builds from last March has broken the ability to install Custom Browse. As I cannot live (Yes, cannot live :-) without Custom Browse and its "Genre Album" I will remain on v7.9.0 build 1488878280. I'm hoping that Erland and Michael have an opportunity to review what it may be that has compromised the install of Custom Browse. Or, perhaps I dare say, that the functionality of Custom Browse (or at the very least, from my perspective, the Genre Albums part) becomes a part of the standard SqueezeServer architecture. Frankly, I've never understood why the regular Genre Library view defaults to listing by Artist/Performer rather than Album. For folks with substantial classical libraries that really makes no sense as it often splits albums over multiple listings. And the Album view lists all albums in alphabetical order, and when one has nearly 3000 albums in some 30 genres, that, well, is useless as a method to find something. Custom Browse and its Genre Albums is *perfect*. And let me add my thanks to Erland for his LMS plugins. As other folks have said in this thread, I quickly opted to pay for the lifetime license in recognition of Erland's contribution the LMS community with his plugins. I'd do the same for Michael were it possible (sad that so many people do not understand that Michael is the SOLE developer of SqueezeServer -- take a look at the commit history and you can confirm this is true). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gstalnaker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63504 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107707 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
