Anyone done this with a pronto ??

Any tips and tricks ??

The only solution I can see is to

A) make a M3U for each album...

B) Use the listing tools (or listmaker) to provide me with a TXT list that I can load into XCEL...

C) Do the super Nude List part of the task on this...

D) Assign an IR code to each album...

E) Use Girder to launch an M3U on Rx of the IR...

My thinking on this says that parts  A - C are simple and a once a month CCF update is no big task but... D) is a tedious task.. Especially in the initial stages...

So possible plans...

Girder runs on XML perhaps I can edit the XML or somone knows a way of exporting a GML (like ZP does for keys) for M3U launching ??

Investigate the 'payload' passing abilities of Girder to see if I cant payload the M3U info (doubtful as Girder still seems the easiest place to store and achieve this) ??

Look into the number cather plug in (cant think of its real name) that recieves a seies of numbers and then triggers an IR.. Perhaps I can give my Albums a number association and I can trigger playlist 0453.m3u that are auto generated and auto managed by Girder and MC ??

Anyone else have any thoughs...

OK if I have to talk to myself how about starting simple...

Say I have my library... Any way to automate the creation of album M3U's ??

How would I do this and  

A) Place them in the album folder I have already.
B) Place them all in a centralized new M3U folder
C) Rename them to numbers (could add a custom Album Number field and use this)

Also I am assuming M3U's work with APE files too (never used them so far)...

I will pester the AVS'ers and Girder forums to see what I can do in the auto creation of a GML structure..

Phreddy...where do you want this thread? Here? AVS?

1. AlbumIndex field & View Scheme
2. Export Library to CSV
3. Import into SNL
4. Generate CCF
5. Add numbuilder section to GML
6. Fire albums from CCF with mjextman.exe /TREEPATH

Share & Enjoy!

LOL... OK you caught me... I was just trying to increase my exposure !!

OK well its only step 6 that confuses me.. Do you manually add a command for each /treepath <number> or have you worked out a way to 'Payload' that part of the structure ??

I guess my confusion comes from not understanding the numbuilder code / plug in yet... I will have a look at that.. any chace of mailing me your Girder GML and possibly the CCF (does SNL2 provide IR codes by default ??) so I can deconstruct and look at it... Dont be shy about any rough edges or bther with work to remove components... Just will give me clues on the girder / numbuilder interaction...

Yep. That's what the numbuilder plugin does. It takes a series of Girder commands and strings together a number, which is placed in a text (or numeric) register. You can then substitute that register in the TREEPATH command like this:

Code: [Select]

mjextman.exe /Play TREEPATH=Media Library\Audio\AlbumIndex\[reg1]

mjextman.exe /Append TREEPATH=Media Library\Audio\AlbumIndex\[reg1]

Sure, PM me and I'll drop you a package. SNL2 doesn't have anything to do with IR codes--it only pulls available buttons from CCF devices you already have created.

Hope this helps!
