The Multi Library plugin is basically a way to define several libraries. You can have the library definition in one place instead of redefining it in all the menus for a specific library.
It's also possible to create menus that are tied to the currently active library and let the user select library when power on the Squeezebox. This way you can always have the same menu structure but the contents is different depending on which library that is selected. The Multi Library plugin itself doesn't do anyting but defining the library and keeping track of which songs that belongs to a specific library. It requires Custom Browse if you want browse menus. Browse menus can be created from the Custom Browse settings page but there is also a shortcut in the Multi Library page, with check boxes which can be checked to create certain browse menus for the library. In both cases it results in a browse menu in Custom Browse where the "Library" parameter is set. The checkboxes is just a way to simplify the menu creation. So to sum it up, if you only want a single browse menu with custom contents you are probably fine with only the Custom Browse plugin. If you want a similar set of browse menus for each family member you probably want to use Multi Library to simplify the configuration. If you want to filter by directory path you will also have to use Multi Library since this isn't possible through the standard Custom Browse menus. -- 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=62316 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
