If it's in the SqueezeCenter core I suspect I'm going to have the same problem with Dynamic Playlist as it behaves similar to Random Mix.

Normally I want to do stuff when a play or stop event is received from Random Mix, so I can't just change the request source it will result in that Dynamic Playlist doesn't work correctly in other cases. However, there might be possible to do some clever code that does this in the specific case when an alarm is playing if I somehow could detect that. I'll have to think a bit more regarding this, if it gets too complex I'm not sure I like the idea of having a work-around in Dynamic Playlist just to get alarms to work due to a "bug" in SqueezeCenter. Max, I'm sure you are already aware of this, but IMHO it's always a bad idea if code in SqueezeCenter itself has hard coded references to stuff under Slim::Plugin::*. I've seen a number of such new references coming up during the last year and the result is always that it makes it almost impossible for third party plugins to do the same thing as built-in plugins. I'm happy you are looking at a solution for this in 7.3 for the alarm handling. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/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=52370 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
