Have you had any experience with Perl ? You'll need to create at least two files. 1. opml file with Amercian Routes URL and a hook to a parser file. 2. Parser file which has a subroutine called "parse" and which parses the American Routes HTML from the URL in opml file and then generates SC Menus using an opml hash. The generated opml has will either be menus or playable items (i.e URLs to a playable item). You must make sure that the parser does not spend too much time processing (i.e. each parse routine should only parse one fetched html page at a time) as it can affect SC performance. As well as coding you will have to decide on the "best" menu layout. With archives this usually means - restricting the possibilities and also possibly generating menus on the fly rather than having prebuilt. For ideas, you can look at the current NPRRadio opml and parsers files or look at the Addons in AlienBBC which use the same organisation. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51002 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
