Is there a switch setting in iPeng? > No. The problem is not that iPeng doesn't show all artists _on purpose_ but it does show what it does because that's all the information it gets from the server through the "official" and documented API it uses (CLI). There's a newer one which is being used by the Squeezeboxes themselves and gives you the additional details but it's a) not documented and b) comes in a completely different format
I still plan to eventually switch over to that one but it involves a complete rewrite of all the player status handling since pretty much everything in this changed. I would also have to drop compatibility to SqueezeCenter (7.3.x and earlier) which is still being used by some users since that doesn't deliver the new format. > > I think you can change this in LMS right (although I haven't double > checked for sure)?
