Since I am not sure if you ask the question as a user or a developer, I will also describe the related plugins a little. If you ask as a developer interested in implementing your own playlist plugin I can give you more information about this. DynamicPlayList plugin: ======================= - Makes it simplier for other plugin developers to implement different kinds of playlist plugins. (Sample in readme.txt) - Integrates all playlists from supported plugins into the same main menu. - The playlists is arranged in a hierarchy if implemented by the plugin developer. - It supports static playlists saved in the normal slimserver interface by itself, more playlists are implemented by other plugins. SQLPlayList plugin: =================== - Replacement for iTunes smart playlist. The interface is a bit harder to use than iTunes, but the advantage is that you can forget iTunes unless you play your music both in slimserver and iTunes. - You define your smart playlist as a SQL query, a number of templates exists for usual playlists to make it simplier. If the data is in the slimserver database it can be used in a playlist in SQLPlayList. - Requires DynamicPlayList plugin, the playlists you define is available in the DynamicPlayList plugin. TrackStat plugin: ================= - Makes it possible to rate tracks - Stores information about ratings, play counts, last played time, added to library time so it survives a slimserver rescan. - Makes a number of different dynamic playlists avaiable in the DynamicPlayList plugin. Besides the above plugins I also know that at least the following make their playlists available in the DynamicPlayList plugin: - RandomPlayList (Similar plugin as Random Mix) - iTunes Party Shuffle plugin -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21790 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
