. . . And search is so much quicker! I always thought the problem was my
hardware. 

I am impressed, thanks for building it.

It says it's a beta - is it stable? Is there strange behaviour I should
know about?


I'd say it's as stable as 7.7 or 7.8. It's what my family uses every 
day. And they don't complain.


The biggest known issue is a compatibility issue of the full text search 
with some of Erland's plugins.

It says it's a beta - is it stable? Is there strange behaviour I should

I don't think search is possible during a clear & rescan, possibly just
radio stations would show up?

Should be fine when rescan is finished.

something is wrong then, as you should have search from either ipeng or
squeezepad.

Thanks. I was using 7.8. I downloaded 7.9, and it's rescanning the media
library now. What's worrying me is that I have no search at all from
ipeng or squeezepad.

2016-09-17 Thread mherger

Are you using 7.9 and its full text search? I can type "gabriel rain
live" and I would get a list of live recordings of Peter Gabriel's "Red
Rain":

2

The full text index would cover all of contributor names, comments,
album titles and much more. Wouldn't this cover your needs, too?

[slim] Searching my music is not very good using spotify apps.

2016-09-17 Thread mandryka

Hello

I find myself increasingly using spotify to play music which I have on
my hard drive, because spotify search is so much better than LMS. 

In spotify I can type

> cortot Chopin 58 allegro 

and I get what I'm looking for - Cortot playing the allegro of Chopin op
58

But in LMS, what a palaver! First I have to do > Cortot and then search all the 
results, manually,  it is not easy. I have a
big music collection . . . 

Things are better if I use advanced search in the logitech's interface
to the media server, because I can simultaneously search artist and
track. And of course I can access this via a tablet, but the interface
is hardly satisfactory. But via all the apps for tablets, it's a
nightmare. I expect there's a good technical reason for that . . .
