Re: Replacement for emms-browser-set-filter?

The manual says this about the hook you want.

The section about the filter system is, by far, the largest section in the manual.

I found this near the top somewhere inside the backward compatibility section.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emms/manual/#Backward-Compatibility

The last hook is the emms-filters-expand-render-hook. This is just so that Emms-Filters can tell the renderer to expand its tree when there is a filter or cache stack present and something has changed. For Emms-Browser this is the function emms-browser-expand-all

;; (add-hook 'emms-filters-expand-render-hook 'emms-browser-expand-all)
