Regarding the thread in the development forum, I was looking for someone to take over the main responsibility for the plugins, since this will lighten the burden on me and let me pursue other interesting development ideas. Patches for small changes and bugs corrections will always be appreciated, but I could probably manage to receive and apply these as patches without handing over the main responsibility. If I should hand over the main responsibility I like to do this to someone who also has the time to implement new major features.

The SqueezeCenter core code tries to abstract the database and the SQL langauge from the logic using an object based approch, SQL Playlist tries to take advantage of the fact that the database supports the SQL language and is built on a specific structure. So my personal feeling is that a "smart playlist" implementation in the SqueezeCenter core will probably not be based on the SQL Playlist code. I could see the playlist handling of Dynamic Playlist to be moved into the core, but probably not SQL Playlist. When "smart playlists" are implemented in SqueezeCenter I have a feeling the developers likes to invent a new query language that is independent on the database structure, the main reason is to make it possible to do database changes without affecting the smart playlist logic.

It could show statistics about the track and also make it possible to view/change the rating and jump to the artist or album of the track. Showing information about a single track could actually be pretty useful, it could also show the play history of that track, so you can see a list of the last times a track was played. -- 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 Database Query 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=41593 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
