The plugin allows you to select/deselect the items that you wish to see
in the browser web GUI.
Without the plugin, I would expect all the items ringed in red on the
left of pic below, to appear in the web GUI.

That's all I know.
Clarification needed from @mherger.

I was doing that following Paul Webster's advice midstream, before the
plugin install suggestion was given. I found that ticking boxes on the
inactive menu section ( the Menus dropdown, pre-plugin install)- only
affected the display on the Boom/SB3 and not the browser (or app -
Orange Squeeze) menus that I prefer as the player interface.

Those menu items determine what appears on the player's screen
(Transporter, Boom, Classic, etc.) nothing to do with the web GUI.

Okay but what does that suggest? You can see in the screen capture, in
my post following karlek's, that it isn't there. And after adding the
plug-in as suggested, it is. Are you thinking something else is

Perfect! That was what was missing. The Artists menu item is now visible
when using access by browser. It also got picked up in the Orange
Squeeze Android app I use. Thanks. 

I think many of you are PC technical types and this stuff comes easy to
you or you've spent more time with it than I have over all these years.
It's nice of all of you to spend your time being patient trying to help
those of us who are not so capable. Far more responses in a short period
of time than I expected. I owe each of you a beer.

Whether it's getting a new PC, a new smartphone, or whatever, there are
the series of steps to do (that I never write down) that I always forget
when the next occasion presents itself Setting up folder sharing on home
network, enabling printers from new PCs, etc, I have to figure it out
anew and rarely remember doing it the last time when I try to do
something "normal" and it doesn't work. In this case, I'd upgraded to
Win10 on the machine that runs LMS and acts as a headless home server
and a number of settings for networking and apps were changed in the
process, including this one in LMS, for whatever reason. Another case of
trying to do something "normal", it didn't work, and not remembering how
I did it the last time. 

Happy music and good health to all, thanks again.

I can add it at that point but it doesn't show as a choice. That still
looks like this when Boom is the selected player. I've stopped and
restarted LMS, shut down and relaunched the browser. Should I try a
different LMS version?

Thank you for responding, Michael. At Settings, Player (for the SB3 or

I am using LMS 7.9.2 - 1567938514 on a Windows PC. When a Touch is the
current player and using a browser, both Artists and Years are available
selections in the left-hand column under My Music. When the current
player is a Boom or an SB3, those choices aren't visible.


Go to Settings/Player where you can configure not only what additional 
browse modes you want to use, but also what menu items you want to see. 
This is only available for the old players.

[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] "Artists" not visible when a Boom or SB3 is the selected player

2020-06-24 Thread Goodsounds


I suspect this is a dumb question. I've been a happy SB user for over 10
years, and I've recently bought several used Touches as future-proof
backups. 

I am using LMS 7.9.2 - 1567938514 on a Windows PC. When a Touch is the
current player and using a browser, both Artists and Years are available
selections in the left-hand column under My Music. When the current
player is a Boom or an SB3, those choices aren't visible. 

Is that the nature of the beast or do I have a setting wrong in the
Settings section? Before you ask, yes, I have the Artist field complete
in a collection of about 20K tracks of which 80% are FLACs and 20% are
MP3s. All albums show up under Artists when a Touch is the selected
player. 

Thanks
