"button browse; button now_playing" did the trick. Thanks! I'll fool around with the itunes plugin logging when I get a chance, and see what's there. But as I said, it isn't a big deal since it isn't something I expect to be doing on a regular basis. -- CliffC CliffC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29843 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52836 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Good thought, but what appears when you hover over a playlist name is what I take to be a database query (browsedb.html...) rather than a URL. It doesn't look like anything I can use. It's not a big deal since I'm really only interested in attaching a couple of playlists to the Boom presets. I can open the iTunes playlists in SC and then Save them under a new name to get them in to the SC Playlists folder. I'll just have to remember to update them when and if I update those playlists in iTunes. One final question. Is it possible to add one more command to the string to cause the display to show what is playing? As it is now it displays "Now Playing" (the string "Now Playing", not what is playing). I tried adding a "button right" at the end of the command list, but that didn't do it. In any case, you've made one happy 71 year old "Kid" with KidsPlay. Many thanks. -- CliffC CliffC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29843 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52836 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Unfortunately I can't get it to work. I've downloaded it and installed it, and it is clear that the KidsPlay macro has replaced the default behavior. But nothing plays. I assume this is because I am not specifying the "PlayListNameGoesHere" in your example properly. Do I simply put in the playlist name as shown in SqueezeCenter's list, or what? To be specific, I have a playlist named "Contemporary Favorites" that I would like to play. What would be the "playlist play" command to do this? -- CliffC CliffC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29843 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52836 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Setting Sleep from SqueezeCenter...
I use the sleep function every night on my Boom, set to 90 minutes. Which means 6 clicks of the sleep button on the remote every night. I suspect I'm going to wear the button out at some point. I'd love a one-touch way of setting sleep to 90 minutes. Doing it from SC wouldn't be a problem if it would be possible. Ideally, I'd like to be able to attach that to a preset button so the preset chose the playlist and the sleep setting both. Just wishful thinking on that one I suspect. -- CliffC CliffC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29843 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52836 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
