[REQ] External Music Playlist Maker - Livin - 2009-01-04

This may or may not be a true "plugin"...

[i]Problem statement:[/i]
I find building the playlist on XBMC is not easy... hard to navigate with a keyboard alone in the media room.

Solution:
An external playlist maker that could run on a remote computer, query XBMC's DB and create playlists on XBMC.

This way you have the full use of both keyboard & mouse... and can multi-task at your normal PC.


Anyone else think this would be useful? Nod

I just have a share on my PC with m3u playlists, which can be created any number of ways on the PC, and then I use path substitution detailed here. Does that not suit your needs?


- Livin - 2009-01-04

I do that now... not time efficient and also does not support smart-playlists.

Ultimately I'd like to see the XBMC DB expanded to support more features like J.River Media Center does with ratings and full ID tagging.

Livin just install xbmc on your PC.
