My top wishes/suggestions: 1. Persistent statistics that survives rescan This is really critical, statistics such as play counts, ratings, last played time, added time is the core information to be used in smart playlists. In my opinion this is the most important information in slimserver besides the actual music files themself. Slimserver needs a way for this kind of information to survive a rescan and being able to easily backup/restore. Sure TrackStat tries to solve this as good as it can, but it would be a lot simplier and better if this kind of information survived rescans with the standard slimserver.
2. Support for setting/viewing rating in standard slimserver Today there a number of different plugins that tries to support ratings, sometimes in different ways. This can result in a real mess and collisions when people want to use several of these plugins. I wish the standard slimserver would support a way for the user to set/view ratings in a standard way. 3. Plugin manager In my opinion plugins are the thing that really make slimserver shine. My wish is just that there would be easier for people to find and install a plugin and also to be notified that there are new versions available. This could be solved by some sort of plugin manager included in slimserver which shows all available plugins and makes it possible to download and install a new plugin by simply clicking on a plugin item. 4. Plugin customizable web interface Today plugins have to put their information into separate pages in the web interface which makes them a little harder to access. I wish there was a way for plugins to integrate their information and functionallity in the standard slimserver browse pages or at least in the track details page. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist), 'Custom Browse' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-custombrowse) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
