hmm, interesting ... It would seem like random play supports excluding a directory (say called lectures) already ;) but ..
In Testing ... I tried to exclude a directory (top level dir) from my collection (shrunk for accuracy testing to 3 dirs). Setting from conf file: # # Songs and directories can be excluded from the random output if they # are included in the next setting. Seperate multiple entries with a '|'. # plugin_random_exclude = Talk|Spoken|Audiobook plugin_random_exclude=books Be sure to restart the gnump3d server to use the updated settings. - The random directory respected my excluded directory setting. - But I could not seem to get the random selection to respect this setting (using v2.9.4). So I submitted a patch to add support for this feature to gnump3d-devel :) This should satisfy part of your request. I also could not seem to get a url combination of /random/playlist.m3u to return a randomised playlist :\ - /random/playlist.m3u -- Returned an empty playlist - /random/play -- Not really sure how this feature works ... i got an error saying "Error - No tracks sent." - /random/recurse.m3u -- Returned an empty playlist Summary Sorry, when I start thinking about it, I can't help but think aloud about how it would be nice to be able to pass a url to to gnump3d to get a randomized m3u playlist (minus exclusions) returned with variable length/number of songs, real time. It looks like some of this is supported in code but it did not work for me. I'm not yet sure where this breakdown is occurring, possible bug or incomplete feature. Fyi, this came up in the mailing list archive from last year on the same topic, interesting background read since I did not see this setting explained in the docs :\ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnump3d-users/2005-02/msg00021.html //kracker back to the grind ... eyedea and abilities - now On 3/18/06, Marty Huntzberry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I read how it's possible to set up random play in ~/.gnump3drc, > however I'd like to always have things play in the same order > for lecture mp3s and random play for music mp3s.
