Heh. I started off with the XML skin about 2 years ago (and my code was originally in VB6) ;-) The CLI is just too slow for browsing the database - even the web front end is painful to use on my mini-itx box. The joy of using the Meedio plugin that I've written is that it's really fast - it can pull back a populated result set of 900+ albums in under a second. The slimserver UI takes about 10 seconds just for 50 albums. In theory the SQL statements I've used should work for any database, but unfortunately all the code I've written at the moment is for sqlite only - it's completely dependent on locating the '.db' file etc. I suppose later on I could rewrite the connection / db layer to use connection strings, but for now, it does what *I* want :o) I don't expect the plugin to be finished for another couple of weeks (at least) - but I'll obviously let everyone here know when it's done.
