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) -- 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://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26769 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
