This is because your plugin presents itself in the top level menu of the LMS Web UI, and this makes it difficult for me to support. I don't know your plugin well enough to be sure, but I am guessing that if the dynamic playlist would present itself (say under PlayLists) as a regular "track" (having a specific "virtual" track_id) then a UPnP CP could command LMS, via Whitebear and the CLI, to play that "track" as if it would be a real one. Or alternatively perhaps if it would present itself as a remote stream (having an http url) under Apps, then a UPnP CP could command LMS, via Whitebear and the CLI, to play that "stream". Obviously I don't want to hard code anything in Whitebear, so one would have to find a dynamic way to step down the browse tree (as it already does in the case of Apps, Podcasts, Radio). erland wrote: > > - Do you know if Spotify is supported in any UPnP players ?

But even though I don't have a Spotify Account, I can tell you that with Whitebear, I was able to browse down to "Andrew's Music->Add-Ins->Apps->Spotify->I don't have an account"..., so I am guessing the chances are not bad that if I did have an account, I should be able to browse further down the tree until I got to a playable remote stream. And if that would be so, then one could use any UPnP CP with Whitebear as the server to play Spotify either to a Squeeze player or indeed to any other UPnP player. (Although not knowing Spotify, I can't say if there may be authentication issues if Whitebear/LMS would be the browsing agent, and another device (having a different IP address) would then try to play the stream. It might depend on things like NAT...) erland wrote: > I've tried PlugPlayer and it's was way to buggy for my taste, but I used > it towards LMS built-in UPnP server so possibly the crashes can have > been caused, thanks for the tips of the other tablet apps, will take a > look and see if any of them works better. > Yes, it is indeed buggy. erland wrote: > > Why do you use iPeng instead of a UPnP controller ? > Is it because there isn't anything with the same functionality using > UPnP or is there some other reason ? Well basically I like iPeng. And as I already have a way to go iPeng->LMS->SqueezePlayer then why would I want to take the longer path OtherCP->Whitebear->LMS->SqueezePlayer ?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndrewFG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95603 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
