If the group information is available in the iTunes playlist inside SlimServer in some way, it should be possible. But if I remember correctly when I looked at this earlier the group information isn't imported at all into slimserver, it isn't even part of the name of the playlist in SlimServer. If this is the case there first need to be a fix in the scanning process that somehow imports the group information in some way into SlimServer.
When the group information is available in the SlimServer database it should be possible to create a Custom Browse menu that groups the playlists together in the same way in the SlimServer user interface. There is obviously no pre-made template available for this yet. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
