Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] COMPOSERSORT. How to activate?
Hi, Thanks for you help. Much appreciated. I can confirm that COMPOSERSORT is now working as wanted when using "Custom Browse" "Custom Tag" menus (The ones that are added when installing the Custom Scan plug-in). As for the other issue of an apparent incomplete scan. That was a user error. Another member of the household had switched the server off and on whilst the manually scheduled scan was running. Grrr! That will teach me to leave the room. They thought it had stopped working as some of their menus had gone blank. The scheduled overnight scan has restored normality.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] COMPOSERSORT. How to activate?
Hi Erland. Thanks for continuing to look at this. Looks like there is an issue somewhere in the scanning. Either the scanner is not saving the information correctly or perhaps it cannot read the TAGs due to format errors? Is there any way to diagnose what the scanner is doing? Any verbose messages that could be turned on? Is there a way of clearing the custom scan tables and starting again. I'm not sure that the SBS "Clear Library and rescan everything" does based on the run times of the plugins? I can create a menu using the "Custom Tags Album" template and this does display the composers sorted as I wish. E.g. Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Johann Sebastian Bach Antonin Dvorak George Gershwin Franz Joseph Haydn However the list is not complete. There should be 108 composers listed but only 14 are shown. A dynamic menu does not display anything. This might be related or completely different. I have loaded your "Database Query" plugin and looked at the "Custom Scan Statistics" Only 316 songs are listed having COMPOSER or COMPOSERSORT. There should be over 1000. The "Multi Library" for "Classical Music" tells me I have 1123 songs. Nearly all of which have both COMPOSER and COMPOSERSORT tags. In fact all songs with a COMPOSER will have a COMPOSERSORT as I have used an action in MP3TAG to do this and they all display in MP3TAG. The music files in question are all FLAC by by the way.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] COMPOSERSORT. How to activate?
Erland, Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately they did not work. So here is some further information. WITHOUT MAKING ANY CHANGES TO CUSTOM SCAN. I think that COMPOSERSORT is being scanned by the standard SB scanner as I can see the tag (with correct values) when selecting "+ > more info > view tags" from the Duet Controller. I have tried several different custom menus to display the COMPOSER and none of them pick up the sort using COMPOSERSORT. If I create a menu using one the templates that allows a sort tag to be entered and use COMPOSERSORT the result is the same; sorting is by COMPOSER not COMPOSERSORT. SO THEN I TRIED YOUR SUGGESTIONS. Settings for Custom Scan / Custom Tag: Module is enabled and possible to use [ ticked ] Include in automatic scans and "Scan All" [ ticked ] Scanning order in automatic and "Scan All" (1-100) [ 30 ] Tags to Scan[ WORK,COMPOSER ] Sort tag mapping[ COMPOSER=COMPOSERSORT ] (other entries blank) Settings for Custom Scan / Mixed Tag: Module is enabled and possible to use [ ticked ] Include in automatic scans and "Scan All" [ ticked ] Scanning order in automatic and "Scan All" (1-100) [ 60 ] Artist tags [ ARTIST ] Album Artist tags [ ARTIST,ALBUMARTIST ] Track Artist tags [ TRACKARTIST ] Conductor tags [ CONDUCTOR ] Composer tags [ ] Band tags [ BAND ] Album tags [ ALBUM ] Genre tags [ GENRE ] Year tags [ YEAR ] Include custom tags [ ticked ] Excluded custom tags[ ] Names to show for user [ ALBUM(Album:Albums),...,WORK(Work:Works)] Following a full rescan (Clear Library and rescan everything) none of the menus displing COMPOSER are being sorted by COMPOSERSORT. Any other clues as to what I need to do?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] COMPOSERSORT. How to activate?
Hi, looking for help on user a sort field. I have updated COMPOSERSORT in my music files. Thus I have tags such as COMPOSER = Alberto Ginastera COMPOSERSORT = Ginastera, Alberto COMPOSER = Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart COMPOSERSORT = Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus I have performed a full scan (Clear Library and rescan everything). I have created some menus using Erland's Custom Browse using the Composers and Dynamic Tags templates. In neither case are the menu results being sorted by COMPOSERSORT. E.g. Alberto Ginastera is at the beginning rather then with the "G"s and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is at the end rather than with the "M"s. What else do I have to do in order to get COMPOSERSORT recognised? I have read somewhere that *SORT tags are picked up automatically but this does not seem to be the case for me. I'm running SB Sever 7.5.3 and also the Custom Tags and Mixed Tags plugins to pick up a WORK tag. This is working ok (I'm not using a WORKSORT tag).
