Easy to do on a laptop. Less easy on a mobile device. But the instructions are solid. Thank you. Obviously, another solution is the switch to the Default or Classic skin, then choose Home > Dynamic Playlists and favorite it there. Neither is obvious or intuitive, but that's not the Material UI's fault. I looked at Squeeze Ctrl before posting my query. Craig is correct; it also does not support marking dynamic playlists as favorites. Neither does iPeng. It makes me wonder what is special about the Classic and Default skins that make it work there but not elsewhere. I understand Craig's reluctance to add plugin-specific code, especially for a plugin he doesn't use personally. (I wonder how many coffees -- no, pints -- I'd have to buy him to convince him otherwise. :D ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ prabbit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11142 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
