So for instance I include 'Composers' in 'Artists' (in My Music) but Composers don't then appear in the 'All Artists' menu, so I get another count of Artists (at the bottom of the menu) that takes a while to comprehend. It's all seems rather random.
I'm bemused by your statement that Album Artists don't equate to ALBUMARTIST tags, but I'd better leave that aside. I'm also still puzzled as to why my attempt to add TRACKARTIST to the artistOnlyRoles function failed. TRACKARTIST seems to be a value literal elsewhere, and I can find other calls to the function that add 'TRACKARTIST' as an argument, but my attempt in Schema.pm generates an error. I don't understand Perl, or the LMS implementation, well enough to be able to work out why. Never mind. BTW - How do I turn off the counts? I can't find that setting (sorry). LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi box, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS plugin UPnP/DLNA Bridge to MF M1 CLiC (to 405/2 amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Alternatively Minimserver & Upplay to same & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to PC speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 15.10 laptop firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. Also a Touch with EDO, plus spare, unused. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105268 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
