Thanks for info. On the webinterface it will not allow me to specify a
playlist directory.
Can you please tell me where to download erlands dynamic playlist and
how to install them.
Previously I have tried putting plugins into the plugin folder within
the public folder on the slimserver but I am denied access. Any ideas
with this also?
Thanks
Gordon

Re: [slim] managing playlists
In the setup there is a specification for a Playlist Directory. Move
your playlists there.
The only real Gotcha is that some programs make paths to files
"relative" instead of "absolute"... which won't usually work. (Ie
"relative to -WHAT-" becomes an issue.
I believe that if you configure iTunes/SC correctly, it will see and
use any playlists you create in iTunes automatically. No need to move
anything.
You can also use the web interface... build up a 'Now Playing' sort of
playlist and then save it as a name. ('Save' is a little box on the
lower right of the browser with the Default skin on SC7, just to the
left of Delete.)
That said, I personally don't use any playlists: I swear by Erland's
plugins like Dynamic Playlist and Trackstat to make playlists on the
fly.

[slim] managing playlists
Hi, On the classic slimserver what is the best way to set up and manage playlists? I know it can be done via the remote control but isn't that user friendly. I also know you can make a playlist on music mixer but an not sure how to use it on the slim server. any help much appreciated. thanks, Gordon -- Gordon30 Gordon30's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54297 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] managing playlists from a remote machine.
I have all my music stored on a Windows Home Server (headless) and the SqueezeCenter is running there (I hate that name! SlimServer was great, SlimCenter I could live with, but... anyway, I'm rambling again. sorry!) We have one SB3 in the living room and another in the rumpus room/home gym (http://blog.offbeatmammal.com/post/2007/12/Music-all-around-the-house.aspx) and looking to add another to the home office (and maybe others as we finish renovating). Everything works fine, but... I'd love to find a more elegant way to manage playlists. My wife and I have fairly different music tastes so when we're exercising want to be able to select our own playlist and have it play back as random. Likewise when one of us is using the home office we'd like to be able to take our playlists, or one of the shared family playlists that have a bit of the less extremes and kiddy friendly stuff. For a dinner party selecting a playlist based on guests and a theme would also be neat. Ideally we'd both be able to manage any of the playlists from any of the machines on the home network easily (via iTunes or WMP or similar) without confusing the local WMP / iTunes libraries - but so far I've not had much luck! -- OffBeatMammal OffBeatMammal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10360 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41518 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
