Maybe someone can tell me why this menu doesn't group the artists on
iPeng, but the original SBS artists menu does (with the exactly same
data load)?
Try to change:
Code:
itemformatalbum/itemformat
In both places to:
Code:
itemformatalbum/itemformat
menulinksalpha/menulinks
I haven't tried if it works but as I remember it the
menulinksalpha/menulinks element should result in that it produces
textkey element which I think iPeng is using to produce the grouping.
Please note that this only works if the menu is sorted alphabetically
but this seems to be the case in this menu.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng + Custom Browse: Grouping by letters in artist menu
Hello, I use iPeng via a squeezeslave htpc to play my music, and I use some Custom Browse menus. (SBS 7.6.2 on a QNAP NAS, iPeng and CB most current releases) If I use the standards artist menus, iPeng groups the Artists by their first letter (those little gray bars). But if I use the artist template of CB, the output is quite the same, but without this grouping, just the list of the artists. Is this a matter of iPeng or CB? If it is the latter case, how can I achieve to get those bars? Thx in advance Steffen -- sts78 sts78's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50205 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90754 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng + Custom Browse: Grouping by letters in artist menu
If you want to get the bars you have to make sure the output is alphabetically ordered. Leading Articles as listed in Settings-My Music in the SBS Web Interface will be ignored by iPeng, so Robbie Williams, The Rolling Stones would be an example of an alphabetically sorted list while Tangerine Dreams, The Rolling Stones would not. If your CB menu has a different order you might need to either change the menu or the Ignored Articles in the setting I mentioned above. I'm not 100% sure whether CustomBrowse might also deliver textkey indexes for indexing. If it does, iPeng should always show the index so probably not but maybe there is a way to include them, Erland would have to tell. -- 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=90754 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng + Custom Browse: Grouping by letters in artist menu
I have no leading articles, all my music is stored of the form Rolling Stones, The and so on. Maybe ugly for some people, but very useful for me. ;) So I think the articles are not the problem in my case. What do you mean with textkeys? Currently I used only the standard artist template without going into the xml. But on some xml examples I saw something like [..]substr(contributors.namesort,1,1)[..] as the third field of the SELECT. Is this the textkey? Because when I dig into the CB source code and look into the artist.xml template of CB, there is only a select contributors.id,contributors.name from contributors. -- sts78 sts78's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50205 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90754 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng + Custom Browse: Grouping by letters in artist menu
Actually yes, this looks like it. But then THIS should be sorted correctly, shouldn't it? How are accented characters handled on your server (where does it list them)? Have you simply created a new menu using the template? I'd give it a try if yes. The CB menus I use now work fine... -- 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=90754 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng + Custom Browse: Grouping by letters in artist menu
Just created a new menu based on the default artists menu template in CB and it works fine for me.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng + Custom Browse: Grouping by letters in artist menu
Just recreated an artist menu (third template in the CB list) from scratch (after rescanning whole database and clearing ipeng cache). No roles included, with various artists section checked, default sort by title... Result: The artist list is sorted, the alphabetical list of letters on the right side exists, various artists is the first entry before the a-artists and after the play all entry. No artists with obscure accents and so on (it's just a test drive machine). Artist count on the list: 36. The original artist menu has the bars. Did I miss something? -- sts78 sts78's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=50205 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90754 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
