I have installed, on the trial basis, Erland's Multi-Library, Custom
Scan and Custom Browse plugins. So far, after a few hours, I have been
able to introduce the 'Music Folder' browsing option to my LMS, giving
acess to the three sub-folders, or 'libraries' as I think of them within
my FLAC
Hello Erland and thank you for replying to my query.
It was very late last night when I posted the questions, and I think I
was not as clear as I might have been. Currently I have, presumably by
installing 'Custom Browse', added the option 'Music Folder' to the Menus
for LMS and my Squeezebox
Well, I removed almost everything that I put into the 'library
definition' page except for one directory (in the 'include' section),
and it -appears- that I now have a Classical library; not that it seems
to give me anything very useful. I have tried to add something to the
'Custom Browse'
Thanks for the reply Slimchances; it seems we have both set up libraries
but neither of us are quite sure what all the parameters mean. This of
course means that I am a little concerned that everything is OK.
I have been staggering, or perhaps blundering on, and have, probably,
set up Custom
Has anyone managed to get Erland's Multi-Library, Custom Scan and Custom
Browse plugins to give a new browsing format with Classical Music?
I have been trying for many, many hours over the past 2 or 3 days to set
up menus to browse by:
Composer - Genre - Album - Album Artist.
I have failed,
Hello Erland and thank you very much for your replies. As you have said
you will look at my earlier thread I will try to put up a post there
with screen-shots of what I have defined and what I see. I have not
tried adding screen-shot images to a post before, so here's hoping it
works OK. See you
OK, another day...
This post is for Erland who said he may have time to look at this later
in the week - hope you are not too upset by me wanting to nuke Sweden
earlier Erland.
I have added some screen-shots. First 5 are going down through the stuff
I have set up in LMS.
Next 5 Screen-shots: the first two show the panels generated by the
Level 3 and Level 4 sections of the menu definition (those are Albums
(which I have made equal to Works), and Album Artists (which, for me,
identifies a particular recording)). As can be seen, I get duplication
in these
Another hour or two wasted this evening trying to get this stuff to do
the simplest things. BUT, I am worse off than I was before; I have been
getting the 'no matching songs found' message, or something like that,
and now I get the zero response syndrome. I have to say that in 40 years
of working

Hi
Library is currently approx 15,000 'songs' (or just over 1,000 albums)
so a 2 hour custom scan would appear to be normal:( Still frustrating
that I can't seem to select a single album to scan in the main scan
folder and then have the custom scan restricted to that album.

Hello PasTim,
Maybe you are right, and frustrated rants are not helpful. However,
looking at it the other way, when someone is totally confused, often by
errors and problems that manifest themselves in somewhat inconsistent
ways, it can actually be both useful, and a little therapeutic, to

Hello,
I have been using Erland's plugins for about 8 or 9 months and
everything is just about as I want it, but in the past few days I have
added 3 new albums with previously unused values in the Genre tag.
These do not seem to be picked up by the custom scan, however I can find

I have asked this question recently in another thread, and was surprised
to find there seemed to be no way to do this either 'natively' or

display, and will of

Basically, I don't want a clock although a very small one in a corner
would be OK; I really want the whole of the 'Classical' information
displayed

Hello,
as ever I am wondering if anyone has had the problem that I am having or
could point me in the general direction of a fix.
My LMS server (7.9.1-168) becomes unusable from time to time, and the
NAS is clearly working overtime (Synology DS214Play - DSM 6.2.2). At
first I thought it was a
It seems like there is a major problem with V8 for me: Erland's plugins
may not work. This, if true, would mean an end to my attempts to upgrade
LMS as Custom Scan and Custom Browse along with the Library plugin are
totally essential. I have read Erland's comments on the thread started
when he
OK, as there was no feedback from my recent question I decided to do the
obvious thing and trust Michael and Martin's skills and just go ahead
and see what happens.
There was no problem with updating from 7.9.1 to 8.0.0 following the
instructions given at the start of this thread, and it could
