The information scanned with Custom Scan is stored in a separate table (customscan_track_attributes).

However, according to your previous post it really looks like you want a flexible way of searching your music, not browsing. If that's the case I think Custom Browse might be the wrong solution. The best solution in that case at the moment is probably to use Custom Scan to make sure your custom tags is stored in the SlimServer database and then connect towards the MySQL database from your own application/plugin making the advanced searching you like to do. I have been thinking of making some sort of custom search plugin, but it won't happen in the near future since I have some other things I like to look at first. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33823 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
