Hi, I'm new to the slimserver scene (just got mine last week). I've started playing around with it, and one of the first things I felt I'd like to have is a dynamic playlist that is the amalgamation of the files in a bunch of directories on my computer (these directories aren't part of my regular music folder hierarchy, and as such won't be a part of the data in the slimserver datastore) sorted by date. This would be my 'downloaded singles' playlist. I looked around, found the DynamicPlaylist plugin and the other great plugins by erland. I think I could use DynamicPlaylist to accomplish what I want, but I don't know how to get started. Is there somewhere for people to get started with this type of stuff? I'm a plenty competant programmer, and I'm not looking for a place to learn perl, I just don't know the ins & outs of developing for the slimserver. I've used some examples to get a basic plugin recognized by the server, but I can't get further than that. I could keep guess & testing till I figure it out, but I'm hoping there's a more efficient way to get started. I guess my questions boil down to:
1. Is there an COMPLETE, SHORT DynamicPlaylist example? (the example in the README.TXT for DynamicPlaylist isn't complete) 2. Is there documentation on developing on the slimserver? -What are the CLI commands? -How frequently do plugins get refreshed? If I make an edit, when will the slimserver reflect that edit? (I found some details in the wiki, and there's a couple of documented example plugins linked from the wiki, but I didn't manage to find those details). -- anonymous247 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ anonymous247's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28999 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
