Music library - the files that don't exist on the hard drive will simply be removed from the library the next time the database is scanned by SBS. I don't really understand your point about conflicting metadata and why this is an issue for something like podcasts, sorry. 2. I can amend the script to allow a third command line parameter for playerID if you like, then you just create different windows shortcuts for different players. 3. Can't do anything about that, the whole script is based on reading the FB2K title.
If this script is useful to you I will happily make the amendments to allow different players to be selected, please let me know. -- stuffedspacedog ------------------------------------------------------------------------ stuffedspacedog's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38655 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79575 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
