In The Custom Scan settings page for the "Custom Tag" scanning module, you will need to enter all the non SORT tag, but I'm guessing you have already got so far. Besides the tags mentioned above, I also think you will currently need to add COMPOSER tag, composers are already handled by SqueezeCenter but you also need to scan them with Custom Scan to make it possible to accomplish menu number 2. You will in the "Sort tag mapping" field have to enter: PERFORMER=PERFORMERSORT,LOCATION=LOCATIONSORT losinj;387580 Wrote: > > 1. Browse by Country then Location.

Random Works Mix based on Country or Location e.g. to have a French > day, or a session at Bath Abbey > For this, you will need the "SQL Playlist" and "Dynamic Playlist" plugins installed. When you have installed these, you can create two new playlists in SQL Playlist plugin based on the playlist type "Random for custom tag". For the first playlist you should enter COUNTRY in the "Custom Tag name" attribute and for the second playlist you should enter LOCATION in this field. In the current release you will be able to play these playlists from the Dynamic Playlist menu and when you click play you will be requested to select a country or location. In the next version of Custom Browse, SQL Playlist and Dynamic Playlist plugins, it will also be possible to launch them from the browse menus by holding play down for a while on a country or location and then select Dynamic Playlists. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/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=58564 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
