Ah.. yes. I don't use CLI, I use JSON. JSON is typed. It knows arrays, collections, strings and numericals. It also knows about nil. Very convenient to use since you don't have to parse input yourself. Very inconvenient when all of a sudden a "text" field contains numericals, something that's meant to be a collection contains a string, numbers of items are wrong,... It's this Perl stuff on the server side. For Perl everything is a string which allow it to make full use of the memory and CPU resources available on the platform it runs on so it doesn't know the difference :) Looks like you don't exclusively use strings, too, or you wouldn't have run into an issue with the artwork id, wouldn't you? -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75649 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
