Start with an existing plugin and modify it to your needs, for example the "Removed Played Songs" plugin which is fairly small: http://www.koldware.com/SlimStuff/RemovePlayedSongs-2.3.1.zip If you do it in perl you will need to: 1. Implement a new JSON command (through addDispatch) which doesn't require track_id 2. When the command is called with a rating, you look up the currently playing song on the player and call the TrackStat setrating command with the track_id. After this, you can use KidsPlay to redefine the preset buttons so they issue your command which doesn't need the track_id. If you haven't done any kind of programming before it could be hard, but give it a try if you feel that you have the time and want to learn. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher 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=73538 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
