I tried the 8.2-dev image but it doesn't have any unsupported plugins except for Trackstat. (But no problem.

I managed to make it visible by starting the Squeezeelite-X player on my PC.

(I don't quite understand the advantages over Trackstat, though, except that it is more likely to be supported in the future. I'm guessing that it's easier to write your own plugin than to adopt someone else's? erland wrote: > > There might be some work going on to increase possibility to use custom > tags in a new plugin that potentially can be a replacement for some > Custom Scan users: > https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?113201-Genres-moods-themes-and-styles > Also interesting. I don't quite understand yet how the tagging works in practice, i.e. how I get the info from on the web into my LMS, but that's just mig ignorance about music tagging. So far I have not even cared enough to maintain consistent Genre tags (except for classical music), but these extended tags sound interesting. erland wrote: > > Ive currently got indications that a community member is interested to > try to maintain Database Query plugin and TrackStat so these might > appear again as officially supported plugins in the not too distant > future.
