Could you look in the web interface and see how many tracks the Jazz genre contains in the standard "Genre" browse menu and in the Custom Browse "Genre" browse menu ?
The behaviour you describe seems like a bug. I can understand that hitting play in Custom Browse could take a bit longer than hitting play in the standard browse menus, but it shouldn't make the system unusable afterwards. The reason Custom Browse takes longer time is that it does more than the standard browse menus, but I would have expected it to work as usual after the 30 seconds it took for the first artist to start playing. Does the same problem also occur when you hit play on a "artist" or on a "genre" that contains less number of tracks ? RoyE;258571 Wrote: > > So CustomBrowse is not really suitable in that case?

It should work, but I know I've had performance problems earlier when you hit play on an item that contains a lot of sub items. You can create a dynamic playlist as you described in 2. I guess I could change the behaviour so the play button launches this dynamic playlist, but I'm not sure this is what all users want. Today you need to hold play button down for a while to reach it. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41152 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
