Since I don't have a MusicIP configuration up and running at the
moment, I've no way to test how the database looks in a configuration
like yours.
Could you install the Database Query plugin and create a new free form
query with the following SQL statement:
Code:
--------------------
select id,url from tracks where content_type='dir'
--------------------
Does this query return any directories when you you execute it in your
library where you don't have a music folder configured ?
If this query lists all directories in your setup, I think there might
be a solution. If it doesn't list any directories, I think you will
have a hard time getting the music folder menu to work.
The Custom Browse music folder menu is just a link to the standard
SqueezeCenter music folder menu, which requires these directory entries
in the database. Without them the Music Folder menu in SqueezeCenter
won't work. So if you don't see any directory entries with the above
query in Database Query plugin, the only way to get this to work is to
develop a third party plugin that add the necessary directory entries
to the database. This shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows perl
or is willing to learn perl, but it will require some development.
