So the solution is to either - Craft an advanced search query that returns all the special tracks and none of the regular tracks and then save that as a library. - Design an SQL query that similarly returns only the special tracks and hack the virtual libraries pref file (Thank you dbm204 for the detailed explanation. That is very useful). - Design an SQL query as above and hack the LibraryDemo plugin to include a library based on this query.
For each solution I would probably have to also design the opposite query and a library based on that (i.e., to have a library that has only the regular tracks). If I am understanding correctly solution 1 is by far the simplest, but it is also not as expressive as the two others. In particular with solution 1 I would need to be able to distinguish the special tracks simply on some tag (or collection of tags) such as the genre. I am not sure this is a solution for me. A big part of the reason I want to sort these tracks from the regular tracks is that they are generally badly tagged :). So solution 2 or 3 seems to be the way to go if I want to sort on the directory structure. I am perfectly comfortable with doing SQL queries and poking around the database to get it right, so that is not a problem. I would however like to avoid having to deal with both perl and the LMS plugin framework, which IMO both are kind of a mess :p. I would probably go with solution 2 then. Before I get going are there any additional trade-offs between the three solutions I should be aware of? E.g., does one result in nice UI or something like that? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guut_Boy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106488 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
