Help with gettig tagnavi_custom to show - have done all that is apparently need

[prupert]

Hi

First off, loving that Rockbox is on the iPod Classic. I was immensely envious when I read about Rockbox about 10 years ago on Lifehacker and cursed myself for falling foul of the iFan club so I was over the moon when I found recently that a development build is available for the iPod Classic (yes,I know I am late to the party!)

I've been trying to get my own tagnavi_custom database view to work, but no matter what I do and what script I use, I never get anything when I click Custom View within Database.

I'm using a variant of the full customised config found on the wiki: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/DataBase#Examples

No matter what I do, I can never get it to show. I've tried using a basic version from the wiki, checked the file is in ANSI format (via Notepad++) ,tried copying over the main tagnavi.config file - renaming it and then pasting in my code, and have updated the database after adding in my own tagnavi_custom file.

All to no avail. Any one got any hints, or is there a log file I can check to see why my Custom View is always blank...?

Any help much appreciated.


Here it is if anyone wishes to check:
