Plus you and Erland might each get more users. I think that it's worth asking him since he seems to be as equally reasonable as you are and very much concerned about his giving his users the best product possible. That depends whether Muso can offer facilities for utilising the custom tags that the standard interfaces don't (web interface, iPeng, as well as browsing via the device display itself) - I imagine they must use them fairly well otherwise there would be no point in having them in the first place. I'll get a licence for Custom Browse and start evaluating what it does to see whether Muso can hook into it. jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'm not sure if these are the same as custom tags or are handled by LMS as something special - in the database I see explicit columns for musicbranz_id in tables like tracks, contributors, albums etc but no data is in them on my database - how do you get LMS to read and display these values? This info suggests they are handled by LMS natively: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SlimServerSupportedTags But I'm not sure why I don't have any data for them. jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
I don't have LMS displaying any of the Musicbrainz tags. I just started using Picard ( http://musicbrainz.org/doc/MusicBrainz_Picard ) to tag all my music and would like muso (or even LMS, if possible) to display this information. The way I envision is that muso reads the MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID tag, pulls the info from Musicbrainz.org and displays it in a meaningful way next to the album name. I'll use the Master of Puppets example as in a previous post. If you click this link http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/3d00fb45-f8ab-3436-a8e1-b4bfc4d66913 , you'll notice that there are many versions of this album. I want muso to read the MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID tag, query the Musicbrainz.org database and pull the relevant info. After this is done, muso will display this information next to the album name.

I've had a brief look at the Custom Tag plugin to LMS - my current thought is that I may read the custom tags into Muso from LMS but NOT from a file scan - because (a) I'd have to find a file tag library that can actually read custom tags (my current one can't, apart from Ogg/Vorbis comment tags), and (b) I'd have to replicate all the configuration of what tags to look for, how to combine them etc, in Muso. It's much easier - at the moment - to say this will be an enhancement that will only work with LMS integration (i.e. will read in the custom tags on a synch) - then I can look to extend it to file scanning and reading custom tags directly further down the line. This will be experimental work for the time being - getting the custom tags from LMS into Muso would be the easy bit - then I have to think of flexible ways to allow browsing by these attributes. jezbo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MUSO - Support Thread
jezbo -- Thank you for considering this. From my point of view, the custom tags are actually optional. As I explained above, because many programs don't read custom tags, I have had to duplicate any important information in standard tags (e.g., my vital SUBGENRE tag is duplicated in my COMMENT tag). Anyone using custom tags can easily do the same thing. So if browsing in Muso by random custom tags makes life too complicated, then I wouldn't worry too much about it at this stage. I'd be perfectly happy if I could browse more flexibly using just standard tags, as listed at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SlimServerSupportedTags. And as I said before, I'd be equally happy if I could browse by system folders if that's easier. jdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9569 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=91575 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
