    squeezebox plugin with HStouch and the music selector problem

    I am trying to create my HStouch pages to interact with the squeezebox plugin and the controls work great...

    but I cannot get it to display the music selector.

    it does not have any of the music data in the selector.

    I have the music selector pointed to "status tracking" and it is set to player 1 music selector...

    but it loads nothing.

    anyone have an idea of how to get HStouch to see the metadata for all my music on the squeezebox server?

    Did you find any soluton to this? I have the same experience, tracks are most of the time not loaded into the music selector.

        Are you referring to displaying the genres, artists, etc in a list box? To configure it, you need a list box (ControType = HS_ListBox), et the Normal Association Type to "Music" and the Music to "PlayerName Music Selector". You will also need a button to navigate back.

        Separate from this, attached is a script that will access the player's music API and display some information in the HS2 log such as count of albums, genres, etc... HS-Touch uses the music APIs as well therefore checjing this script will help understand if this is an HS-Touch configuration issue or something related to the plugin.

        I also assume you are using the squeezebox plugin version 2.0.x and the plugin has been configured crrectly (for example the HS2 SqueezeBox related devices display the appropriate information and device associated buttons work).

          This is exactly what I did and still no luck navigating to down to my favorites. It stops short at the level "Favorites" and does not allow me to drill down to actually show me my favorites*.

          So if I have "Verdi" and "Black Sabath" as favorites for example it will choose what to play and mix them up not allowing me to select Verdi when I'm in a mood for classical music and Black Sabath when I'm in a mood for rock.

          Since it is 2014 already I'm talking about streaming from mysqueezebox, Pandora, Internet radios, and alikes not from my computer.

            This is related to your other post in http://board.homeseer.com/showthread...54#post1147654, right? As I suggest in the reply I just posted in the other, enable debug/verbose debug in the plugin, navigate the HSTouch screen going the Favorites and email me or post the resulting log. Thanks
