Can you communicate with a plugin on the server? If you can, something like Erland's SQL plugin might be useful (just do whatever you need to convert the user's input into a single query, then pass the query via CLI You're certainly right about server query performance being suboptimal. There's the hope that SQLite might be faster, but each time I try a version of 7.6 it's not perceptibly so (but, to be fair, I've optimized MySQL performance a bit) -- bobkoure bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87095 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

But then it would make more sense to write a real search plugin. I don't think Erland's SQL plugin is currently made for it and then you'd have to live with all the changes to the database that happen on the server side all the time. iPeng can't be tailored to one server version like the SB firmware is, it has to support a full range of server versions and Logitech have the nasty habit of doing all kind of changes even in minor releases. You're certainly right about server query performance being suboptimal. There's the hope that SQLite might be faster, but each time I try a version of 7.6 it's not perceptibly so (but, to be fair, I've optimized MySQL performance a bit) I believe SQLite is faster on slower systems. Generally, 7.6 has become much faster but that's more due to optimized queries and stuff like artwork handling and scanner being rewritten than sheer database performance. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87095 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It's definitely not designed for searching, even though you can make
SQL Playlist playlists that takes a parameter it currently doesn't
support free text parameters which would be required to support
searching.
I once thought about designing a Custom Search plugin but there wasn't
much interest at that time and at the moment I'm unfortunately fully
occupied with other more important Squeezebox related stuff related to
music discovery.

I (and others) feel that a somewhat more modern search engine would be goos, e.g. a free text search (allowing you to e.g. enter your three search phrases in one go and delivering all matches containing all three, first, then the ones that only have two matches, plus some type-correction etc But that might be a significant amount of work and it has to be done on the server side. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87095 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

JJZolx;626299 Wrote: No idea. Don't you typically have to request a CLI feature like that? What do you mean by request? That you have to ask for them? The problem with the CLI is that it only has two search modes: 1. the search command, which allows you to get artists, albums and tracks from a single search term. A single one! And you can not select a category. 2. there is a search: parameter for things like albums, tracks, artists, etc but that also only applies to the very search you are looking for. You could synthesize something: search for artists with artistName, get the artist ID and then search for all albums with the artistID and an albumName plus maybe recurse if you get more than one matching artist, but given the server's search performance that approach will - after all the effort - give you just ridiculous search times, so it's not really an option. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87095 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Can I use something like SB Server Advanced Search with my ipod touch?
I really want to use my ipod to get at my music. So far I've only tried iping. But there's a problem. I can't search for track, artist and album at the same time, like I can on the advanced search screen of the Squeezebox server. At least -- I haven't seen a way to do this yet with iping.

What do you mean with track, artist and album at the same time? Do you mean you want all tracks, artists and albums that match a phrase? That's the default behavior in iPeng, so this would confuse me.

What I want is to be able to enter a search which gives me as a result (eg) just those tracks with the string richter in the artist field AND the string schubert in the albium field AND the string D960 in the track field. I can do this easily in sqeezebox server's advanced search. I can't so it in ipend. I was just wondering wether there was another app for the ipod where it can be done. Or indeed for an android tablet. The fact that it doesn't work with ipend is, for me, a major limitation f ipeng.

Re: [slim] Can I use something like SB Server Advanced Search with my ipod touch?
I believe no non-Web Interface will do this and it may even be that in 7.6 it will also be removed from the web-UI. The problem is that the CLI (the interface used by iPeng, all other apps and the SqueezePlay based players use) doesn't allow to send more than one search expression in a query. You could probably synthesize something by doing several consecutive queries but it would be pretty difficult as soon as you have any ambiguity in the results. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87095 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
