Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Search options
Interesting, yes, it does and so does the globalsearch menu. iPeng's builtin search, though, seems to get some sort of ranked output, definitely not alphabetic, maybe that's determined by the plugin's ranking algorithm or something. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106118 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Search options
Probably not what you want, but if you're looking for a particular track by a particular artist with the word "time" in the title, then a simple way is to install the "Full text search" plugin. If I want the track "Lilac Time by Isobel Heyworth", typing just "time" would give me ~200 hits. If I type time isobel, I get 1 hit. +---+ |Filename: lilac.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=21067| +---+ kidstypike LMS on Raspberry Pi 3/max2play/HiFiBerry DAC+ > AVI DM5 1 x SB3 - 1 x Boom - 1 x (Squeezebox) Radio - 2 x Touch - 2 x Raspberry Pi/max2play/HiFiBerry kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106118 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Search options
Yes. If you disable that you will only get tracks that start with "Time" in a track list in your example. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106118 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Search options
yes of course, we're talking about searching on track title - not (source) filenames so to be clear: is there any setting out of the box which let me do that/or something i need to set on the server in order to get this result? (or is that the Settings->My Music->Search within words you were talking about?)

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Search options
One thing I should make clear: in LMS you can not search for a filename, if that's what you are talking about. Regarding incremental loading by character: that would be nice but doesn't work because I'd have to load the full list to know how many tracks by category X there are, you can't just get all tracks starting with "a" from the server (OK, you could search but that is potentially a very expensive operation, too, and I'm not even sure it works at all if the user has selected to search within a word. And again: it would be track title, not file name! --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 9, the Universal App for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch* pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106118 ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter

But if they are listed alphabetically with X tracks per page, there is no issue - (you click on a character and it would load those tracks beginning with... etc) but in fact i don't care what's displayed when you press "tracks" - if I could do a search on that "track" folder, i'm fine with that. But that's not the case: when pressing the new track folder, it shows the list of albums or artists (depending on what you've set in additional browse modes). When doing a search for a trackname its displaying album/artist hits too...next to a tracks list. When you click on the track hitlist, you need to scroll through that list once more to find what you need. Sonos might have it easy, but it works. If you search for a trackname 'time', this track would show up first in the list. All other tracks with 'time' in their name would follow. In LMS, you get it all mixed up (so probably a setting somewhere?) Personally i didn't hit the 65K limit yet so - currently, we don't care about that one.

What I don't get is the "only show x tracks in a menu". I mean say these are 1,000 tracks, it would always be the same 1000 tracks alphabetically, how exactly does this help.
