Grouped Alphabetcial Trees (Artist & Album) - Bryn46 - 20-09-2014 07:21
Hi
I wish to extend the existing Tree Format to include sets of alphabetical lists for both Albums and Artist.
Example
Albums ABC
Albums DEF etc
Ditto for Artist names
So by selecting Albums (or Artist) names say under ABC a short list is generated listing all albums (or Artist) names starting with 'A' and 'B' and 'C' in an alphabetical list.
I have read through the User Guide but I am not sure where to start (or even if it's possible). Any guidance would be great.
Many thanks in advance.

There is an alphaGroup property for indexing by individual letters. You can enable this for album and artist names by setting the alphaGroup property to 'albums, Artist'. For more information, see this section.

Many thanks Simon for the heads-up.

Absolutely brilliant, from my view point, I love the standard tree structure, very intuitive and with the predefined functions it offers plenty of opportunities to further customise (if needed !). Just add Video & Photos to the server and say good by to Twonky.
Thanks for the all the obvious hard work and support.
