Hi, here just to inform you that in Logitech Media Server vesion 7.9 we now have Additional Browse Menu (is a standard plugin form logitech) that allows you to define menu items based on Artist Roles (composer is one). Any menu item could then be enabled or disabled for each and every player. Then you have the capability to define 'libraries' (called also sub libraries or virtual libraries), each library being a partial view of your music collection. Easiest way to define a library is using Advanced searches and save them as ... libraries using the standard option. This way you could define i.e. 'classical' library based on genres. Library could be difined in more sofisticated ways by plugins, an example is provided with the server (sub-library demo plugin) and you could just modify and save it as a user plugin. No matter how Library are defined, you could then select one of them by the "library view' menu item, and from this moment on, all the user interface will work as if your collection was limited to te selected library contents, until you revert the library selection. In a more sophisticated way, using Additional Browse as explained before to define the composer browse, you could limit the browse to a specific Library, that way you coud have, i.e. 'Classical by composer', 'Classical by conductor', 'Pop by Artist' and 'Jazz by Artist' browses each working on a subset of Artists defined both by the library (genre) and role played. More, everithing here is 'standard' by logitech in 7.9, no additonal fees or licences required. and is the infrastructures plugin developers are going to use from now one. Custom browse, togheter with the others great Earland's plugins, are still needed to define browses based on 'custom' attributes, but not reuired anymore when using 'standard LMS attributes. Thanks to Michael for this. Please have a look to this functionalities and provide them support in your great app. Marco. ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97558
