(Hello > Erland?) > What operations have to be possible during a party ? Are there more things that should or could be removed than the "hit play to clear playlist" behavior ? What interfaces have to be supported ? IR ? iPeng ? Controller ? Touch ? Boom/Radio on device buttons ? Is it allowed to cause audio hick-ups if a user press play ? Should it be allowed to add a complete genre, album or artist or should it only allow adding single random tracks ? Or shouldn't it be possible to modify the current playlist at all ?
I suspect the problem with this is that it's going to affect the core code which makes it more or less impossible to do with a plugin. One thing that I think would be possible to do as a plugin is a "undo playlist change" functionality that makes it possible to restore a previous playlist. However, I'm not really sure if this would be good enough on a party, to me it feels like you want to catch it before it has actually has modified the playlist. One thing that might be possible is to re-define the "play" command so it performs "add" instead, but I'm not sure if that will make it too problematic to use the device ? I'm guessing you probably want it to execute "play" if the user selects a playlist but "add" if he selects a track ? -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=78067 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
