The "remove album" option in the queue context is useful but if it was "select album" it would give the ability to move it, delete it, or other action.

I'm in two minds about this. It seems like a reasonable suggestion, but makes remove album a (slightly) more complicated task. You can select one track and use shift+select on the last to select a range - but that won't work on touch devices. I need to give this some thought. For 2.8 I'm addind a 'Remove disc' action for multi-disc albums, so this would be affected too.

Could the search button in the browse panel be persistent when pages other than the home page are showing.

This was raised as an issue on github, which I rejected. The reason being is that if I was in 'Albums', or listing an artist's albums, I'd expect the search to be restricted to this - which it is not. So, from a UI perspective it would be confusing.

i haven't read 800 pages, so bear with me, if already asked:
I'm interested to extend the "New Music" menu to more than 100 albums.... is this possible?

Settings > Server > top dropdown box select "Behaviour" > New Music Limit".

Hi Craig

I appreciate your reasoning regarding a persistent search button in the title bar but currently I keep Orange Squeeze running at the same time to work around this. How about replacing the play/pause button in the status bar when viewing the browse panel? It seems a little redundant to me as playback is more relevant in the play or queue panels. Maybe I'm strange but I often want to do a global search while deep into a browse tree.

Sorry, but no. Long-press the back button, or the 'Browse' bottom nav button, will go 'Home' - and from there search is available.

Support for sorting in Material Skin? (Qobuz, Spotify, etc)

Is there support for changing the sort order of results in the Material Skin (using Qobuz)?

Use case: Using Material Skin, I want to be able to search an artist on a streaming plugin like Qobuz or Spotify, and them view that artist's "albums" with newest release on top.

Currently, it's Apps -> Qobuz -> (search artist name) -> (select the artist from results) -> Albums

...but the list of Albums seems to be in arbitrary order, so I can't tell what's new or old from that artist. I'd like to "sort by release date" which I think is available as metadata.

Thanks!

Problems updating from 2.7.1 to 2.7.3

So I tried updating Material in the Material interface, which simply got stuck every time I tried. As an alternative I tried to uninstall Material and the re-install and keep getting an error..

The error message in the LMS log is this:

Code:

[21-11-26 21:34:52.3905] Slim::Networking::IO::Select::__ANON__ (130) Error: Select task failed calling Slim::Web::HTTP::processHTTP: Reading from filehandle failed at /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Utils/PluginDownloader.pm line 249.
; fh=Slim::Web::HTTP::ClientConn=GLOB(0x3ed4f10)
[21-11-26 21:35:10.6580] Slim::Networking::IO::Select::__ANON__ (130) Error: Select task failed calling Slim::Web::HTTP::processHTTP: Reading from filehandle failed at /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Utils/PluginDownloader.pm line 249.
; fh=Slim::Web::HTTP::ClientConn=GLOB(0x6536f18)

Using LMS 8.2.0 and the internet connection is fine.

Any suggestions? Fairly annoyed by having to use the classic interface again, now that I uninstalled Material....

Disk space or https issues perhaps?

Thanks, but, hmmm....

Disk space, don't think so...

Code:

Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mmcblk0p2            1.9G    168.7M      1.7G   9% /mnt/mmcblk0p2
/dev/sda2               465.6G     51.3G    414.2G  11% /mnt/USB

https, also seems unlikely... No internet connectivity issues, and the Raspberry running LMS is hardwired to the router.. But any suggestions on how I could check that (command line, I assume)?

Perhaps run out of some other resource ...
Try a restart of LMS and if that doesn't cure it then a reboot.

If still failing you might have to enabled debug logging in the plugin downloaded - Settings/Advanced/Logging/plugindownloader (that is from hazy memory and certainly not right but probably close).

Tried resizing the SD card to "use full", rebooted and getting the same errors..

Code:

Let me see what I can get out of the plugindownloader logs...

Enable logging for Plugin Module Loading.

Maybe plugin.extensions as well.
Then check the server log after trying to install Material Skin.
