Malcolm,

Thamks for doing this.

One thought: would it be easier to simply launch a URL? For example, the
URL to play a LastFM station is something like:
http://slimserver:9000/plugins/LastFM/index.html?lastfm=playlfm&lastfmp1=user%2Frobinbowes%2Floved&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A3e%3A20

Perhaps the launch script should simply construct a similar URL?

The script would need to know:

slimserver url: http://slimserver:9000
LastFM user: robinbowes
(optional?) player: (00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A3e%3A20)

The LastFM station would be parsed from the lastfm:// protocol link, e.g.

lastfm://user/robinbowes/loved would become:

LastFM station: user%2Frobinbowes%2Floved

What do you think?

R.
