I made the change but it didn't take. Do I need to reset my Squeezebox
or something?


you will need to restart slimserver so that the plugin is reloaded.

Tried that. Didn't work. (I opened slimserver from my computer)


you need to stop slimserver, and start slimserver. Reboot the  
computer, if you prefer the brute force method.


opening only launches the browser.

JJZolx was asking if you used the slim.exe version, which is the  
standard when using Windows XP becuase editing code in core modules  
(*.pm files under c:\program files\slimserver\server\Slim) has no  
effect when using slim.exe.  Those modules are all packaged inside  
slim.exe already.  However, for plugins such as the visualiser,  
changes should work once you reboot or restart the slimserver service,  
so long as the changes don't actually cause an error in the plugin.

Hey! I just realized I might be able to do some other stuff.
tgoldstone gave me a text file with the code for PlaylistMan. I guess
this should be easy to add to my plugins. Can anyone tell me how?


save the file to c:\program files\slimserver\server\Plugins
make sure the filename is as it was sent, in this case PlaylistMan.pm
restart the slimserver service.

If it was sent as an attachment, it should be ok to just do a save as.  
 You'll want to try to avoid opening and saving, since some windows  
text editors can change the line endings slightly.  That will cause  
the plugin to fail to load.

Hi K,
While I waiting for  a reply I experimented a bit and found the plugin
folder for Slimserver. The file was sent to me as an attachment (File
Type: txt   PlaylistMan.pm.txt)
I sent it to my desktop and then copied and pasted it into the Pluggin
folder. It had a slightly different appearance than the other plugin
text files. Will this work?


as PlaylistMan.pm.txt, it will not work.
filename must be PlaylistMan.pm.

the .pm extension indicates the the file is a Perl Module, and this is  
what the server looks for when loading plugins.


In regard to the different appearance, without elaboration on that, I  
can't really answer that.  If you restart the server after naming the  
file properly, it should appear in the server settings-plugins.  If  
not, then something has gone wrong, which might be related to what is  
causing you to see a slightly different appearance.

right click: select cut

open Windows Explorer (hopefully you are familiar with this one)
find c:\program files\slimserver\server\Plugins.

Right click on Plugins and select paste.

That should then move the file to the right place.

you could also open My Computer...go to c:\program  
files\slimserver\server\Plugins, then drag the file from the desktop  
to the Plugins folder.

You are being messed about by windows.  The extension is hidden.

Let's just delete that and start all over.

go here:
http://www.hergest.demon.co.uk/Music/slim/PlaylistManPlugin.htm#currentversion

There is a link at the bottom for Version 1.0

download that.  It will be a .zip file.  You can then Extract all files...
to c:\program files\slimserver\server\Plugins.
