As stated in my edit, I got the fake click to work - but the fullscreen request was then denied.

[Edit] Tried in chromium - "Failed to execute 'requestFullscreen' on 'Element': API can only be initiated by a user gesture"

Pity. Appreciate your experimenting with it!

I've looked under all the server settings options and can't find any options for this. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. thanks.

EDIT. Maybe I'm misinterpreting and this is truly "future" releases and not the update I just applied yesterday. ;-)

It's in the material skin plug-in settings under server settings. I can't see any compelling reasons for me to use it, maybe it is more useful for Classical music.

Well, I mainly use if for albums where the discs are distinct. e.g. I have some albums where the 2nd disc is instrumental versions of the first, hence splitting them. So my titles would be "Main disc", "Instrumental"

I have some remasters with bonus discs. Currently I have them tagged as separate albums. The most annoying remasters have bonus tracks on the main disc which would need to be retagged as two discs to separate them.

I've setup the material skin plugin options (trying both "title only" and "use semicolon" for the comment as title. I've saved the settings, but I still don't get the comment tag info used as title. What am I doing wrong. See picture, and you can see the "comment" is the name of the original album but the album title at bottom of picture remains the box set name.

For "comma separated" to work it needs to be preceded by "TITLE=" e.g. "TITLE=Abc;OTHER=123"

Also, comments are used for titles only when multi-disc albums are shown as 1 album. If this is set, when browsing albums in grid view you should see a double-cd icon top left. Also, when clicking the "(+)" or "(>)" icons on hover you should be prompted as to which disc to use.

Can someone post a screenshot of this? I don't think I'm seeing it but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

In my screenshot above, you can see an album cover lower left - this has the double-disc icon in the top left of the cover.

Aha. Got it. Works nicely for my multidisk albums where each disk is based on an original album release. And fortunately, I had already been adding the name and year of the original album in my COMMENT tag. Thanks again for Material Skin.

Liking these improvements.

Is it possible to add an additional "Move Up" into the context menu at Queue level?
I know you can drop and drop in most interfaces but not in iOS which I use as my main controller - perhaps only make available in iOS?

NB. I don't think a Move Down is needed as it would be achived by moving the below track up.

EDIT. Ignore. I've just discovered drag and drop now works in iOS! When did that happen

It seems that if I browse Spotify using OMLI and the My Music menus, this works. If I browse Spotify using the Spotty menus, it is missing.

We don't expose this level of detail in the music service browse menus.
The necessary information is only available from the local database.

Fair enough. I use the My Music menus more often anyway.
