(mherger) Multi library drives

[Eric Seaberg]

Michael, I would LOVE to have a simple MULTI-LIBRARY based on drives/partitions. I've moved all of my 96k+ and 5.1 encoded files to a new partition for backup purposes, but it'd be GREAT to be able to setup specific players to look at ONLY drives/libraries since they can't pay higher sample rate files, i.e. SB3, Duet, etc. My Transporter should be setup to see ALL libraries as it can play/decode all options.

Is this simple?



Thanks, man. Grateful you've been here so long doing what you do!!!

For a plugin author: yes. For you as an end-user: no.

The plan for multi-library support in LMS 7.9 was to provide the
infrastructure for a plugin author to provide library views. It wasn't
to provide the full feature, in particular there's no real UI to define
libraries.

Alas, there's limited support to define libraries in the Advanced Search
feature in the web UI. You can search by bitrate, sample rate etc. and
save results as library definitions.

Thanks for the reply... I just found an easy way to do what I want. I went into MENUS for the Transporter and added MUSIC FOLDER to my on-screen menus. If I want to look at HiRes and 5.1 files specifically, I can do that on screen as drives/partitions show up individually.


Thanks again...
