Creating playlist interface/library server
« on: November 11, 2006, 05:14:50 pm »

Are there any ways to control play lists without using MC?  I would love it if there was a way to directly edit a text file because I could create a program that would allow me to create play lists through a web site or something like that.

I have to, currently, log in through logemin and control my server remotely to then setup playlists.  This works fine but is extra hassle.

If I can directly edit the play list file, I could write a simple perl program on my web server that would read in the file, parse it and display playlists.  Then, my program would write a new file upon editing.  It could either be copied to the MC database location by a batch script or some other automated system.

NEXT: the library server doesn't seem to allow users to edit parts of the database.  If I edit things like rating songs, I don't think they show up.  Is there a way to get around this?  I would like to have full access if possible.  I could use this to create play lists which would be a little simpler than logging into my server.
