Took me a while to figure out how it is meant to work, because of problem (1) below. It's more comprehensive than I was expecting - you've done a lot so quickly!
I think some more general getting started instructions would be useful. Some initial feedback: 1. I had trouble creating a standard library to start with. This is I think due to various issues with special characters in file names and directory paths. I think it doesn't like spaces in the library filename. I think it doesn't like apostrophies in directory paths. eg. I tried creating a library with the name "Phil's Music". This would have a directory path of "M:\Music\Phil's Music". I tried to save this as "phils music.ml.values.xml". I have successfully created a library: Library name: "live". Directory "M:\Music\Live Concerts". Filename "live.ml.values.xml". 2. Is it necessary for a user to enter a library filename? Why not create the name with some unique id in the name, eg. "library 001.ml.values.xml". You can still display the filename that has been used to save the library definition, so the user could edit the file by hand if necessary. 3. Will refreshing libraries be quick, or should there be some progress indicator? 4. I was anticipating a "Libraries" menu alongside Custom Browse, and within that a list of the configured libraries that are visible to the current player, rather than adding the libraries directly within Custom Browse. 5. I was anticipating a way of configuring many different custom browse methods, and then being able to select the custom browse methods to add to each library, such that each library acts like custom browse. Add a new way of browsing music in custom browse, and it would immediately be available to all sub-libraries. ie. custom browse would be like a library that includes all music. At the moment, I believe I have to create a set of custom browse menus for each library (although some builtin ones are generated automatically). 6. What effect does activating a library have in the Multi Library web interface?
