If one accidentally deletes the active playlist by pressing play to a single track, it would be nice to get the playlist back in its original form. Perhaps this requires additional data to be saved by TrackStat? erland;663201 Wrote: > A third question, what about the scenario where you play "Playlist 1", > stop the music and do something else and then later play "Playlist 1" > again, should this be represented as two entries in the history or just > a single entry ? > You are of course right that defining "an active playlist" exactly is not straightforward. In your example I would say that it would make most sense to define it as one list (not two). The best definition of the playlist to store I can think of is: "the last version of the active playlist before it was deleted". By deleted I mean either replaced entirely by a predefined (named) playlist or replaced by an album, track or selection of tracks. As far as I can see TrackStat (or some other plugin) would have to save data about active playlists at the time a playlist is deleted (in the sense I described above). This information would be: TrackID and Track order. I have no idea of how to implement this with the DB-info in SBS. Also, I don't know if it is possible to store data at the time an active playlist is deleted. To me it seems to be not so easy, but I'd love the functionality :-) -- tuc -- Server: Atom D510 running Ubuntu 10.10 with 2 GB RAM Players: SB receiver + 2 SB boom, all players synchronized Remotes: SB controller + HTC legend with SqueezeCommander ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tuc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34475 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
