Announce: Material Skin

[cpd73]

My home screen now looks as below. It's a rather long list, without folders

If you want folders, save them to Favourites.

What is signified by the radio mast and quadrant "rainbow"icons?

As stated before Material converts from LMS icons to google-material icons. 'Rainbow' shape is a pocast icon, and will replace LMS's orange equivalent. Radio mast is used as the default for radio streams.

Oops! Forgot to add file to repo, should be fixed now.

Hi Craig

Can you clarify something for me please? Ii understood that the Comment tag could be used to name discs in multi disc sets. It seems that Material is pulling in information from the Description tag. This overrides the Comment tag and for me causes a problem as the Description tag is where I store track information - liner notes etc. I don't know if any changes have been made as things seemed to be working as expected previously.

Also, under the options on the server, what does semi-colon separated do?

Thanks.

Steve

Question....

Would it be possible to have a quick control button, perhaps near the A-Z "Sort by", which could toggle On / Off the display of integrated media?

I love the Spotty library integration, but am now finding it difficult to find my own local media rips, as my saved Spotty songs / albums in the past few years have now far exceed purchases during the same time period. So a quick Show/Hide would be great.

It's not the comment field. There are specific tags for disc count and
disc number. What file format are you using?

Oh, and this is not a Material question. You should probably start a new
thread.

The feature to add names in the comment tag for multi-disc albums was added to material skin recently.

Oops... thanks for the clarification!

The answer to MrC's question then probably is to disable that feature in
Material.

Material uses the 'comment' fields as returned in the JSONRC response by LMS. As to what actual field LMS gets this from I'm not 100% sure. For me it is the COMMENT field. I use kid3-qt to update my tags, and that is where I set this info.

Also, under the options on the server, what does semi-colon separated do?

This allows for:

WIBBLE=xxxxx;TITLE=The Title;BPM=150;ETC=etc

Oops... thanks for the clarification!

It's a work-around due to the fact that 'Disc (sub)title' is not part of JSONRPC.

The answer to MrC's question then probably is to disable that feature in
Material.

MrC's issue is to do with toggling showing of integrated online albums in the album/artist lists.
