Add possibility to add custom items to track details menu
Last modified: 2008-12-15 13:08:19 UTC
There should be a way for a plugin to add custom items to the track details Jive menu. The items added could be simple information items but it could also be complete browse menus that browses your library in the context of the values of the currently selected track. As an example, when you have the Custom Scan plugin installed you can get custom tag information such as PERFORMER or MOOD into the Squeeze Center database. I can add a main menu under My Music that browses "Performers" or "Moods", but I can't do the same in the track details menu to be able to browse tracks with the same Moods/Performers as the currently selected track. In SlimServer 6.5 I choosed to override the whole track details menu for the SqueezeBox and web interface due to this limitation, however I really just want to add new items without re-implementing all the track details menu logic already available in SqueezeCenter/Jive.
When implementing this, have a look at this bug report which basically takes care of the same thing but is focused on the SB3 player interface: https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6930
I'm just going to link this and assign also to andy so that these will be appropriately combined when feasible.

This is now possible with Slim::Menu::TrackInfo. See bug 6930.
