A little bump. Does everybody think this is a bad idea, not useful or just impossible? Can't believe I'm the only one with this sort of setup!
Suggestion copied across from the other thread for ease of reference: *********************** Background - I own 2 SB3s which are both connected via SPDIF. One to an AV processor and the other to a stereo pre-amp with built-in DAC. I always rip my multi-channel albums twice, once to stereo and once to multi-ch, so that I can choose which I play depending on which system I am using. This results in a duplication of the album in SBS and false count of the number of albums I own. Idea - Add a setting to the Player tab that allows you tell SBS how the SB is connected to the amp. There would be 3 options, 1. analogue, 2. digital - stereo DAC and 3. digital - multic-ch DAC. SBS would then need to recognise a custom tag called, say "MultiCh" with a value of "1" to differentiate the multi-channel version from the stereo version. So long as all other tags are identical then SBS need only display the album once when using the web interface and the overall album count would not be affected and the scan would recognise the duplication and understand the reason why there is duplication through the "MultiCh" tag. The files could be named differently in the same folder or be in different folders, it shouldn't matter. In action - when I am browsing music on the SB3 connected to the stereo DAC, I only see the stereo version of the album and vice-versa. I think this would be a particular advantage when using synchronisation and would prevent white noise being squirted out of ones speakers accidentally. I would love to go off and write a plug-in to implement this, but I'm afraid I don't know my a**e from my elbow when it comes to programming. Does the above make sense and does it sound possible? What do others think, would it a be a useful plug-in or addition to SBS? *********************** -- Mr_Orange ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mr_Orange's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37785 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78126 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
