Re: [slim] Re: Saving playlists with remote
My only problem with the add.hold button is that sometimes I get impatient (in a hurry) and let go prematurely (let the ribbing begin!) Then I have to go rescue the track that I've accidently removed from the playlist. Would it possible to reverse these? ie. press + for PlaylistMan, and +.hold for remove track from playlist? In my experience (albeit very limited) that would work more smoothly. You can achieve that by creating a custom IR map file. I can't remember if Custom.map inherits Default.map, or whether you have to duplicate all function keys. You may want to experiment, but I know the following works: In your slimserver installation folder, go into server\IR and copy Default.map to Custom.map. Add the following to the end of the file: [playlist] add.single = addmenu add.hold= add In the web UI, go to your player settings - Remote. Select Custom for remote button functions. The default button functions remain unchanged, so you can swap back if you like. Phil ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Thanks for the simple instructions, Phil!

Re: [slim] Re: Saving playlists with remote
Ah, Phil you sneaky ol' so-and-so! Went to have a look at the latest PlaylistMan plugin, and guess who the author is? And guess which plugin overides the original 'Save playlist' remote command with another one? Well, yes I am the author of that plugin. I didn't realise you were using it. There's no need for the save playlist plugin if you are using PlaylistMan (there's an option to save the playlist within my plugin). For others reading this thread, Save Playlist uses press hold play on the now playing screen. My plugin doesn't do anything with the play button in this mode; my plugin provides a menu option to save the playlist when the user presses holds the add button. I believe the two used to work side by side without problems, although I disabled Save Playlist quite a long time ago (when I pinched the functionality for my plugin :-)). I recently found that my PlaylistMan plugin doesn't work if I have TrackStat plugin installed, because this overrides play.hold. It's an annoying feature of plugins that only one can register a custom map for any keys in a particular mode. The only way around this (to get many plugins to use different keys in the same mode) would seem to be to manually edit a IR keyboard map file to invoke the correct functions. ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I discovered recently that if more than one plugin tries to override buttons in the same mode (eg. playlist for now playing), one of them wins, and the other plugin button registrations don't work.

I have an old version of Playlist Manager, and SuperDateTime - I think everything else is standard. It might be the PlaylistMan - I was thinking of updating to the latest anyway, so I'll do that and report back.

Yes I am using other software to create playlist and maintain my music. Amarok. This is a brilliant application, only availble in Linux. However if I listening to squeezebox and hear something I lke, it's still a case of having to remeber it next time i go to the server where Amarok is mounted. -- Vulcanbomber Vulcanbomber's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19788 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I believe I followed the instructions: 1. found an album 2. clicked the Add button 3. clicked Now Playing, Play and the the right arrow 4. named the playlist 5. found another album 6. clicked the add button ...but my second album was not tacked onto the end of the current playlist. How do I do this? You can nearly do this using the Save Playlist plugin (which I guess is what you have been using so far). 1 - find album 2 - play to start a new playlist 3 - find another album 4 - add to add to end of playlist 5 - repeat 3 4 6 - go to Plugins / Save Playlist 7 - name and save the playlist If you subsequently want to add more, you can: load the playlist, add stuff, save it again, you have to repeat the name (and if you give the same name you DON'T get asked if you want to overwrite an existing playlist, which I suppose mught be considered a bug). Still, I think this is what you were looking for, more or less.

I,m trying to work out the best way to add to an existing playlist. Ideally I would like say select random songs and then when I hear something I like easily add it to a particular playlist; without having to stop the currently selected random list. One way to do would be from the web browser, where you could select a playlist in the left hand panel and then just drag and drop the song from the right hand panel into it. -- Vulcanbomber Vulcanbomber's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3249 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19788 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Sounds like you need the proposed flagman plugin, that has been discussed at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18982 Or, if you are prepared to use your computer instead of the Player UI, consider using instead some different software which is much better at playlist generation and maintenance ... eg MusicMagic Mixer, which also features Slimserver integration (for a fee).
