Cool. One thing: How does the "Grab and Send" Playlist stuff work? Can I access this through CLI or something? The reason I'm asking is, that iPeng has a similar functionality (called MultiPlayer Control, see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=301712&postcount=60) that allows you to control power, volume, play/pause, skip and sync on all of your players. The "Grab and send playlist" stuff could make sense to add, but you don't seem to have a web UI for it.

Which is what I expect (since it's the same way iPeng does it ;-) and it's the only way that makes sense for more than two players. -- pippin --- see iPeng at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49490 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
