I agree that it would make a lot of sense to have this functionallity in the standard Random Mix plugin instead of in a separate plugin.
The reason I made it as a separate plugin is: - I don't have the knowledge yet to use the standard database routines for building SQL statements as Radom Mix do, the SQL statements are written directly in the plugin code in the RandomPlayList plugin. - I wanted the exclude genres functionality in 6.2.2 since thats the slimserver version I am currently using. - I wanted random playlists to be integrated with other playlists , this is done be implementing the DynamicPlayList interface methods. I am not sure SD want dependencies in Random Mix to plugins not part of the standard slimserver distribution, this would be the case as long as DynamicPlayList isn't part of the standard distribution. I would be very happy if this functionallity was placed in Random Mix plugin instead in slimserver 6.5, but I'm not sure I'm the right person to do the work until I have figured out how to use the standard database routines. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://tinyurl.com/pptqy) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://tinyurl.com/kfrgs) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://tinyurl.com/pwtsc) plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24522 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
