The reason for the question is that if it is just a few playlists I feel the easiest way to accomplish this at the moment is to create a library in Multi Library plugin for each playlist. If you use the "Download" links in the Multi Library web interface you will get the latest version of the "Standard library" template which supports to create a library based on a saved playlist, this template will be included in the next Multi Library release. If we are talking about a lot of playlists, I don't think Multi Library is the correct way. The reason is that a lot of libraries will slow down your system a lot, especially SqueezeCenter startup time and the performance in the Custom Browse settings interface. However, i really think the optimal solution for this is the "Browse by selected" mixer provided by Custom Browse. This will let you jump out of basically any context and browse that context in various way. It is launched by holding play down for a while or by hitting the "BR" icons in the web interface. As an example: 1. Browse to a playlist (stand on the playlist itself, not a track within it) 2. Hold play down for a while 3. Select the "Browse by selected" mixer 4. You will now be able to browse "Albums", "Artists", "Genres" in that particular playlist. The list of sub menus shown in step 4 can be extended to contain any menu supported by Custom Browse, for example an "Album Artists" menu. -- 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=54560 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
