Hi! I just spent most of my weekend trying to get my QNAP with slimserver to work correctly. I have 7.3.3 installed and I have had a lot of problems with browsing, especially genre. I do get the same problems if I browse via the web interface, duet controller or iPod with iPeng. This weekend I made sure I had all equipment installed with static IP-addresses and I reconfigured my whole network. I have had this problem since i installed the first 7-version of slimserver.
Well, this weekend I had some success. I tried Erlands custom browse plugin instead of using the standard one. Even though it says in the description that it should give the same type of information (for example for genre browsing), there is a BIG difference. Browing genre with Erlands plugin works! So, somehow Erland must use some other SQL-statement to get the information (he should sell that to Logitech so they can fix the standard one included with the application :) So, for those of you having trouble, check out Erlands plugin! This leads me to my questions. It is possible to "swap" the standard genre browser to use custom browse instead. I have tested it in the web interface (works fine) and will try it on the duet controller tonight. But I don't think it is possible to do that in iPeng or ...? This would be very nice to have since I sometimes "accidently" hit the genre button in iPeng and that makes the whole slimserver go into zoombie mode (mysqld or slimserver is taking up 100% of the cpu) and I have to reboot it. It would also be lovely to be able to have the other custom browse features moved up in the menu system on the iPeng. As it is today, I need to go down into the "extra" -> Custom browser menu tree to get to them. For example, the 4 icons at the bottom of iPeng, I would like to have "Artists", "Albums", "Genre" (custom browse), "Ratings" (custom browse). Is that possible? Last, but not least, it would also be lovely to be able to set the ratings (TrackStat) of songs from iPeng. Maybe that is possible or ....? Well, I just bought the iPeng software and I haven't had a lot of time to play around with it yet. Maybe all of these features already are there and I haven't just managed to figure out how it should be done :) /Stefan -- MrPoison ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrPoison's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18795 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
