[I posted this directly in the 3rd Party Software forum, but am replying to Erland's thread as well (with slightly more detail), in case anyone is only looking at this thread.]
I just updated from 7.5 which has been running on my system for several years without a hitch. I use a combination of Erland's Custom Browse, Dynamic Playlists, and SQLplaylists. I used to be able to navigate to playlists under My Music, sit on a playlist, and in the web interface click on a icon that would allow me to choose play random songs from the playlist (in a Dynamic Playlist fashion: add 10 random songs at a time, instead of shuffling the whole list). From a controller, I would long hold the center button and get the context menu with the choice to play random songs from the playlist. After updating LMS to 7.9 and upgrading Erland's plugins to their latest versions, that behavior is missing. The icons in the web interface are replaced with a single M, which I understand is an aspect of the upgrade. Pressing it when sitting on a playlist brings up a context menu, but it doesn't contain the random songs item. The only thing it has is "playlist info". As far as I can tell all my other Dynamic Playlists correctly show up in Context menus where they should. For example, a random songs from genre appears under the Dynamic Playlists item in the mixer when I long-hold on a genre. (It looks like this functionality is now provided by a built-in mixer, as there are two new entries now: "Random Mix Genre Songs" and "Random Mix Genre Albums". But the fact remains that the mixer also includes a dynamic playlists item which in turn contains the appropriate dynamic playlists I created. Whereas, there is no such mixer item when sitting on a playlist.) It seems like most, if not all, of my preferences, settings, and plugin settings were preserved on the upgrade. But it's possible that some dynamic playlist or SQLplaylist or Custom Browse configurations didn't make it. Did something about mixers change in going from 7.5 to 7.9? I can't really remember how to recreate this behavior with Erland's plugins (it's been a long time since I set them up, and they've been working smoothly since), so I'm not even sure where to look. Can anyone point me in the right direction? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wnshall's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5886 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
