Setting the library view in 'My Music' will cause the library to be used
on pinned items as well. Other LMS UI's set the library view on the
player, likewise for browse modes. To me, this does not make sense for a
controller UI that acess all players. Hence Material's list of browse
modes is configurable per instance (i.e. on your phone, laptop, etc.),
and does not change when you change players. Likewise, when you select a
library view it changes the view that the Material instance uses,
regardless of what player you are controlling. This allows different
users to be using different library views whilst controlling the same
player. So, navigate into 'My Music', choose a library, navigate to the
home screen, select an item, and library should be used there as well.

A while back I experimented with saving the library ID when pinning an
item - so, for instance, you could pin multiple 'Artist' browse modes
with different library ID. However, I never made this change to the main
codebase.



*Material debug:* 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json
2. Open browser's developer tools 3. Open console tab in developer tools
4. REQ/RESP messages sent to/from LMS will be logged here.
