Could you maybe make connection attempts to *jive.squeezenetwork.com*
optional? I get 100s of DNS request filling my logs. Just asking if you
could add a way to disable it at the source which would be the cleanest
and preferred solution. Thank you.

I've managed to reproduce the problem using LMS provided standard tools
only: a LMS search saved as a library view and an additional browse mode
artists menu.

If by existing browse mode you mean the 2 options (artist or albums
menu) that the ExtendedBrowseModes plugin provides, I've tried that with
the artist menu for FAVS but it shows the same empty entries as the

It's logging now, mostly. I guess LMS got a bit crazy from all of my

I have some code for letting the MusicInfoScreen display a character
when the song is in my virtual library 'Favs'.

Turns out that the icon display problem was caused by a single space at
the beginning of a folder inside my plugin. So now that's working.
I just wish -iPeng- would display my custom icons as well. I assume
iPeng uses its own set of icons and LMS doesn't send custom icons to
iPeng. Is that more

Why? I know that there have been differences on how to tag tracks ever
since tags have been invented. I have -always- tagged compilations
albums in the way that makes the most sense
Uh, and I'd like to include my own icons in the plugin 'bundle' for *Web

If TPE2 Tag = album artist tag, then yes, all of my tracks have this one
(I use iTunes to manage my tracks).
If it's -not- a compilation, then *album artist = artist* - if it's a
compilation, then -album artist = Various Artists-.
Hey DJanGo:
like I said, toggling the setting how the compilations should be grouped

the first things I looked at because it seems like a natural candidate.

Hi.
When I create a virtual library (view) with an *artists* menu (on the

They shouldn't even be listed in this library view because while they do

plugin? CustomScan takes more than 2x/3x the time to scan one tag in all
tracks compared to the time a regular LMS scan takes. And one day
CustomScan may stop working anyway.
Will it be added to the list of default tags scanned

Ok, so I have almost finished creating the virtual libraries I need.
For the "-20 Random Compilation Albums-" (= built-in "20 Random Albums"

the exact SQL query

I think you are right. I haven't checked all of the empty album entries

I use iTunes to manage my tracks. When I cross-reference the tags

The grouping tag (GRP) is not scanned by LMS. And iTunes does not have a
