Restart SqueezeCenter and try to see if it makes any difference, I'm not sure if the downloaded menus are detected automatically. 2. If that doesn't solve it, try to hit the "Refresh" link at the bottom of the Custom Browse menu in the web interface. 3. If that doesn't solve it, try to download them manually and overwrite the corresponding files in Plugins/CustomScan/MenuTemplates/ (You will need to restart SqueezeCenter and maybe perform a "Refresh" for these changes to take effect)

If that doesn't solve it, try to remove the files downloaded earlier through the download links. They will be stored in the "Browse templates directory" you have configured in Custom Browse settings. If any of these steps solves it, the problem is that the download mechanism doesn't work for menus handled by external plugins. In that case it would be great if you could let me know which step that solved the problem. Of course, if you don't want to mess around with the above you can also just wait for the next Custom Scan release. dip;417211 Wrote: > > I found one further bug with the menus on the controller.

If you do, that feels like a bug in Custom Browse. dip;417211 Wrote: > > Finally, as previously mentioned, the CustomBrowse menus are sometimes > very slow.

I was a bit worried about the performance impact when doing the two line implementation Custom Browse the way I did it, so if this is causing the problem I think we need some way to turn it off for people with larger libraries. This will of course mean that you have to choose to either get the performance or to get two lines. Does it work better if you have selected the "Show artist with album" option in the Custom Browse menu configuration for the problematic menu ? -- 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=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
