Interesting, thanks for the info. Fortunately, in the meantime, I've been given access to some code which illustrated how to get the server menus. Modifying the code to run in my environment (plus some reverse engineering) and writing some glue code (e.g. transforming the slim widget definitions to javascript GUI framework widgets) enabled me to create a LMS menu allowing access to LMS settings and plugins (including their GUI, if it's Slim- and not web based). It's not complete (I left out some widgets no plugin seemed to use), and I didn't investigate apps at all, but for the plugins tested (Server Power Control, SmartMix, TrackStat according to some poster), it works quite well. Before receiving the code, I've also implemented a track context menu (using info items), which is less sophisticated, but works well for simple commands (e.g. SmartMix controls) [ extGUI4LMS - an alternative web interface: 'forum' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98186-Announce-Alternative-Web-Interface-(beta)) / 'homepage' (http://code.google.com/p/extgui4lms/) ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roland0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56808 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98186 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
