hi Andrew. i'd appreciate the votes anyway, if you'd be so kind, i think you can trust that the code simplification is a worthy goal. but in any case, and Phil can definitely speak more expertly to this than i can, but i think it does affect you more than you know, or so i am assuming... i don't know much about CLI, but you see two Various Artists entries and they conflict with each other. this is b/c there are entries that are sourced by actual tags, and a category of the same name. in bug 15604, Phil is advocating pulling things SBS thinks are comps out of the artists and albums etc lists, and making them their own home>comps category, which i fully support. this means that things in tag/category name conflict will no longer conflict, and comp checks won't be necessary for display or query anywhere but the home>comps location. i think that would make your CLI queries much more straight forward. again, i hope Phil will speak to it, as he has a greater understanding of what exactly is happening under the hood than i do. .... as to the workaround, thats all the workaround is. that option has been in SBS for as long as i can remember, and its not a fix, just a workaround. i can't claim finding it, i think jeff flowerday did but i don't recall. but its only useful if a user knows the issue exists, and then knows thats a way around it. obviously, most users know neither. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & droid (my home) / duet & ipeng (parents' home) - sbs 7.5.5b - win7 & xp pro sp3 ie9 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz, 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 49k+ mp3/flac ::VOTE FOR 'BUG 15604' (http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15604)!!!:: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87559 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
