Is there any more information available somewhere about how to do this ?
Anyway, hopefully my changes to MusicInfoSCR will be included in the next release of MusicInfoSCR so then I don't have to provide a patched version of it anymore. dropbear Wrote: > Kevin (kdf) has already posted details of how they check which database > is running (including the rand/random function)There is no problem to detect > which database backend that is running, I am acutally doing this already in the TrackStat plugin when creating the table. However, in the SQLPlayList plugin I have not seen the need yet. The idea is that since you anyway need to enter the SQL queries manually for each playlist, there should not be problem to create them for the backend database your are using. Most users will probably anyway only specify the SQL query for the backend they are using and not in both MySQL and SQLLite format. The real solution is to implement a product independent query format that converts to SQLLite or MySQL based on the used backend, however this will also restrict the flexibility of the plugin. For me the SQLPlayList plugin is just a temporary solution until real "smart playlists" with a nice Web interface are available. Do you see any other benefit with checking database type that I have not realised ? I will consider to provide example playlists in both SQLite and MySQL format with the next release of the SQLPlayList plugin. -- 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
