ANNOUNCE: MYPICKS 0.1
MyPicks plugin enables users to use, create, edit and organise Internet
Radio URLs using the OPML file format.
- A "My Picks" entry is added to the player and web menus which uses
a specific opml file: -mypicks.opml- in the playlist directory.
- My Picks Editor (under server settings) allows users to create a
hierarchical station list and save it in an OPML file. When a blank
filename is used in the editor, the file created will be mypicks.opml
- the file used for MyPicks.
- The editor allows users to add/delete their own stations or edit
existing station entries or add station.
- The list can consists of one file with all the stations or linked
to other OPML files with other station lists. Local file references
should use file:// before the file name. "/" should be in directory
paths on Windows.
- Slim Directory allows the user to add a customised selection of
Slim Picks to their OPML.
- The OPML files created can be submitted to be saved in the
WikiRadio page (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?WikiRadio ) to
share with other users.
- Existing Favorites, M3U and PLS playlists can be imported so that
users can quickly create an OPMl from existing playlists or
playlists created by other apps. Only entries which have valid URLs
for the user's slimserver will be copied (e.g. if you do not AlienBBC
installed RTSP:// URLS will not be copied).
- MyPicks is designed to run on 6.3 and 6.5 slimserver.
- User interface uses the slimserver "Set Up" modules which means the
interface is not ideal. Suggestions on how to implement improvements
are welcome.
BACKGROUND
The M3U and PLS playlist format for saving station URLs do not support
hierarchy by themselves. In addition there was no way to edit these
playlists from within slimserver.
The OPML format provides the required additional functionality and
since it is the format used by SlimPicks, MyPicks uses Slimserver's
capability to display the station list on the web and on the player.
Please note that the following characters & > < " ' must be escaped in
the opml file with & > < " and &apos respectively in line
with XML escape requirements. It is simpler just to avoid using these
character in station titles.
MyPlugin is based on an idea floated by Triode(Adrian), developed by
myself and Triode.
