Concept of 'local/directories'?

[Uatschitchun]

Would someone be so kind to explain the concept of the above named config setting?
I don't get what this setting does, why it is needed and how it is used...

It's an optional config, it's not needed.

It allows you to customise the virtual directories that are shown when you use the extension's browse feature. How you access the browse content very much depends on your client.

You can see the default settings at https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy-local/blob/master/mopidy_local/ext.conf#L23

You would probably need to read the source to fully understand the uri format and available options here. But, for example, if you just wanted to hide some of the directories then you would delete the specific item(s) from this config.

Actually, it would be better to write some documentation about those URIs.
I wanted to define a custom virtual directory called "Recently added tracks" that would display the latest 200 added tracks sorted by newest. I cannot do it because I don't know how to use URIs and the source is not clear enough for users (it isn't even commented for us to understand something).

I tried to do the "last month's tracks" virtual directory by adding together "type=track" and "max-age=max-age=2592000" but Iris won't show any tracks in it, while MPD clients such as Cantata would do it. I really cannot understand why though

I created a new virtual directory going of the definition of the existing ones:

Last year's updates local:directory?type=album&max-age=31536000

It works fine in different MPD clients like Cantata and MAFA (on Android). If it doesn't work in Iris than I guess it's an issue with this web extension.
