Make it possible to combine different menu styles in same menu
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:23:13 UTC
It would be good if it was possible to combine different menu items styles in the same menu. As an example, when I browse to an artist under "My Music" on the jive remote it displays a "Play All" menu item and a menu item for each album for that artist. Today the "Play All" menu item contains a cover art icon even though it will never have any cover art. As far as I've seen the menu style is today controlled by the menuStyle CLI result parameter and this is set for the whole menu not per menu item. The reason for this request is really not the "Play All" menu item, the reason is that in the Custom Browse plugins I've menus that combines album menu items with other type of menu items and I really don't like to have the empty cover art icon beside the items that doesn't have a cover art. As an example I have multi level Genre browse menu which can browse multiple genres. This menu shows available sub genres and matching albums for the currently selected main genre in the same menu level.
Richard: Are you planning on this for 7.0?
This won't make 7.0, it will likely be a 7.1 feature.
menu items of uneven heights is a non-trivial issue that won't be addressed in 7.1. This will be fixed, but not in 7.1.
punting to 7.3
This won't make 7.3.
Multiple height menu items won't make the 8.0 release.
