In case someone is interested in doing this the format of auto playlists
can be found here:
http://www.wischik.com/damon/Comp/wplFormat.html

I can see two possible solutions:

1. Make a plugin that interpret the WPL file and use the data in the
slimserver database to select the correct tracks. This probably also
means that all different filter possiblilities in the Microsoft
playlist format(WPL) can't be supported since the information doesn't
exist in the slimserver database.

2. Make a plugin that interpret the WPL file and connects to Windows
Media Player and use the information there to select the correct songs
and then play these songs in slimserver. This probably means that it
will only work on Windows.

The DynamicPlayList plugin could be used in both solutions to make the
plugin simplier by delegating all playlist management stuff to the
DynamicPlayList plugin.

(I won't implement this myself since I'm not using Windows MediaPlayer
and already can define similar playlists using the SQLPlayList plugin)
