Goto Custom Scan in the web interface 2. Click on the "Custom Tag" scanning module 3. Enter "MOOD" in the "Tags to scan" field (without the quotation marks) 4. Click "Save" 5. Click the "Scan" link besides the "Custom Tag" scaninng module 6. Scanning is now performed and the MOOD tags are stored in the database.
The second step is to make a menu that makes it possible to browse by mood, this is done as follows: 1. Goto Custom Browse in the web interface 2. Click on the "Edit menus" link at the bottom of the page 3. Click on "Create new menu" link at the top 4. Select the menu type "Custom Tags" 5. Change the "Menu name" field to "Moods" or something else you like. 6. Change the "Tag name" field to "MOOD" 7. Click "Next" and then "Save" 8. You should now have a new Moods menu below the Custom Browse menu that does what you like. If you like to move it into the standard browse menu you do this by clicking "Enable/Disable menus/mixers" in the Custom Browse page in the web interface. rmariger;161067 Wrote: > Also, Im a little confused by your instructions for installing > CustomBrowse 1.13.2.

Anyway, it only affects those that have been creating new Custom Scan based menus in a prior release. The only problem if you don't follow the upgrade is that some of your earlier created menus might dissapear. I suspect that you haven't created any new Custom Scan based menus earlier and then it is just a matter of unziping the file in the plugins directory as described in the included README.txt. -- 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),'Custom Scan' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-customscan) 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=27043 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
