Announce: New versions of erlands plugins

[GoodVibrations]

It's a bug, thanks for reporting:
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8652

Hi Erland,

there's now a fix for the bug (21596).
I have just tried it out:
SqueezeCenter version: 7.1 - 21605 @ Wed Jul 9 01:04:52 PDT 2008 - Debian - DA - utf8

But I still can't get it to work with favorites from Dynamic Playslists. They still only play 9 songs and then stops.
It now works with the standard Random Mix though. It keeps adding songs, which it didn't before.

It will be fixed in next release, the change in SqueezeCenter requires me to do some changes in the plugin to make it work correctly.

Favorites will be disabled in 7.0 in next release of Dynamic Playlist, the reason is that the bug fix in SqueezeCenter only went into the 7.1 release. So favorites will be available if you are using the latest 7.1 release, but not if you are using a 7.0 release.

Great! :-)

A new version of the Dynamic Playlist plugin (version 2.1.1) is now available, the corrected/new functionality is:
- Corrected so favorites continue playing after first 10 tracks
- Made it possible to use the Favorite button to add favorites in the player interface
- Removed favorite support in 7.0, at least 7.1 is required.

Can a kind person provide a deepcomposer menu template and XML? I have 805 composers in my library and scrolling that number the SBC isn't too clever!

You should be able to use the already existing menu template "Artists by Letter" or "Filtered Artists by Letter", just make sure to select "Composer" as the only contributor to include when you create the menu.

TrackStat 2.2
- Changed Classic/Fishbone skin to new list box based selection when browsing statistics.

Great work! Erland, I love your Trackstat especially, i switch back to fishbone skin after your latest plugin installed.

Cheers.

Before I end up in a fight with my server, does the CustomLibaries work with the Nokia770 skin? I know in the old version (6.5 etc) it didn't.
I'd love to get this working as my partner really dissagree's with 1,000 Zappa CD's and shows swamping the library.

Cheers
