Sure, shouldn't be a problem.
Since you configure the menu by entering the raw SQL statements in the xml file you can basically build the structure/sorting on anything that exist in the slimserver database. "Live music" sounds even like something that might be appropriate to include as a sample. Is there a standard how I can identify live music, is it defined by a tag, genre or something else ?

In your sample that would would mean that the sorting "by xxx" level would be defined as a number of static items and you would just be required to define the different SQL statemetns for "by genre", "by refevese years", "by artist". The "Libraries" sample included with the plugin demonstrates how to define a menu with a static level a bit down in the menu. -- 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=27043 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
