I have made the following two plugins for my personal usage, but I thought it might be a good idea to announce them here if someone else has the same needs.
TRACKSTAT This plugin makes it possible to rate your songs and also manage statistic data about play counts and last played time. The ratings and statistic data is stored in a separate database table which will not be cleared during a complete rescan of the music library. Ratings and statistic data can also be imported from an iTunes Music Library xml-file. You can make backup/restore of your ratings and statistic data to a separate xml file to make it easier to backup the information to external storages. SQLPLAYLIST This plugin makes it possible to create "smart" playlists based on SQL queries. The playlists are dynamically generated by the plugin by executing SQL queries specified in text files towards the database. The playlists runs continously in the same way as the Random Mix plugin. Combined with the TrackStat plugin this makes it possible to create "smart" playlists such as: - Top rated songs - Not rated songs - Songs not played in last month - Songs which contains genre Pop but not genre Christmas You will probably only find the SQLPlayList plugin usefull if you have knowledge in SQL or if you know someone that can help you writing SQL queries. MUSICINFOSCR PATCH This is not a separate plugin, it is just a small modification of the original MusicInfoSCR screensaver. The changes makes it possible to implement custom items in separate plugins and show them via the MusicInfoSCR screensaver plugin. The TrackStat plugin implements a number of these custom items which makes it possible to show the rating for the currently playing song as a screensaver togheter with all other song information normally available via the MusicInfoSCR screensaver. Both plugins and the patched MusicInfoSCR can be downloaded from my download page: http://erland.homeip.net/download I'm running the plugins in slimserver 6.2.2 using the mysql database, but I think they should work also with 6.2.* and the standard SQLite database although I have not verified this. The plugins will not work correctly in slimserver 6.5. If someone are interessted to run them in 6.5 please tell me and I will try to make a 6.5 version available also. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20533 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
