Any chance of MCWS PlayAlbumByKey?
« on: July 16, 2010, 03:47:26 am »

Hi,

As I like to listen to whole albums, but often use "Play 100 Random Tracks" smart list too, and because the new WebRemote search returns tracks ...

Is there any chance of a new MCWS function PlayAlbumByKey? Just like PlayByKey it takes a FileKey parameter, but would queue up the whole containing album.

Currently, the only way I can play a whole album from WebRemote is from [LibraryItem([z]).PlayLink], which is not very flexible.

Thanks

Good idea.

How about a parameter on PlayByKey "Album".  It it's set to one, it would play the whole album?

This will be available in a coming build.

We're in a stable-push phase, so new features like this might not show up for a couple weeks.

Thanks Matt,

I am not expecting instant (or even any) response to my requests. But it's nice to know that you are so responsive to ideas.

Now if I could just sell you on my two requested library tree navigation options ....  :)

Anyone care to describe how we implement these MCWS commands? Do I add Album=1 after my search string? Is it added to the url?
