Hi, Elan -
Thanks for the reply. I went out to my car to check, and I did find the stations.
This has helped me better understand my issues with Plexamp and AA, and I think most of my issues could be solved with letting me have control over what is shown - by hiding, pinning and reordering items. Maybe there is already a way to do this, and I am just missing it? Wouldn’t be the first time! Or second!
For example:
Recent Plays is less important to me, because I prefer not to hear the same music over and over. This is the first item in the list. I would prefer this item be hidden.
The second item is Recently Added in Music. I don’t add music to my library very often, and I really don’t like seeing the same 4 albums in perpetuity. There are currently 4 albums listed and they were added on:
Aug 29
Oct 8 (2)
Feb 11
That means the album I added on Aug 29 has been on my home screen for ~7 months and the two added on Oct 8 have been there for over 5 months. Add the fact that only 3 albums fit on a line, so the 4th album is on its own line with blank space next to it, and it makes a huge part of the scroll completely useless to me. I would prefer a time limit (for example: items added in the last 30 days, and the category is hidden if there is nothing to show).
The third item is Recent Playlists, which I do use, but I wish I could pin playlists I use frequently so they don’t get shoved down the list when I decide to use another playlist every once in a while.
The 4th item is Stations, which I will use more often now, I just hate that have to scroll past a bunch of stuff I won’t use while I am driving. If given a choice, this would be 1st in the list for me; the Library Radio would be an awesome thing to pin at the top of the screen for me.
I have the plexamp logs, and I can see that the search is being run and it logs how many items are returned. Are the logs safe to attach? Are there tokens or anything in the logs that I should be concerned about when posting?
Here are a few lines that show the search for “tool” and results:
