Can you post your:
- Custom Tag and Mixed Tag configuration (either screen shots or the
customscan.prefs file)
- Your menu configuration (either screen shots or the *.values.cb.xml
files which resides in the directory you have configured in the Custom
Browse settings page)
Generally, the principle is that:
- The Custom Tag scanning module in Custom Scan will scan tag
information into the database, the intention with this module is to scan
things which LMS standard scanner does not scan.
- The Mixed Tag scanning module in Custom Scan will mix data scanned by
standard LMS scanner and Custom Tag scanning module.
Both these scanning modules need to complete a rescan for the data to be
updated, it's not enough to just rescan LMS with its standard scanner.
If everything is configured correctly the Custom Scan scanning modules
runs after LMS scanner has finished but you need to view their status in
the Custom Scan settings page.
Custom Browse plugin just uses the data which have been scanned into the
database, so if you get duplicate entries it's likely caused by
incorrect scanning configuration and not by Custom Browse
configuration.
Generally both Custom Scan and Custom Browse plugins are intended for
advanced users, the result is that they offer a lot of flexibility but
the disadvantage is that they can be a bit complex to setup. If you want
something that's easier to setup, it might honestly be better to use
something else than my plugins. Usually it can be easier to do the
configuration with a small library so you quickly can verify changes and
then apply it on your real library after you know how to do it.
