When later adding the tracks to current playlist I’m using:

Code:
--------------------
    
  $request = $client->execute(['playlist', 'addtracks', 'listRef', 
$filteredItems]);
  
--------------------

Would it work with a database track object in $filteredItems or would it
require a remote track object if available?
Just checking to know if the plugin would need the remote track object
anyway to be able to play the track. If it isn’t needed to play the
track are there other situations where the database track object isn’t
enough and a plugin would really need to remote track object ?

Could the plugin just make a call like this to get the database track
object ?

Code:
--------------------
    
  my $track = Slim::Schema->rs(‘Track’)->single({ 'url' => $url });
  
--------------------

Or would it cause other side effects if it doesn’t retrieve it through
objectForUrl method ?
Just asking to see if we can avoid adding adding extra complexity to LMS
core if we need to adapt the code in the plugin anyway.
