With the introduction of external XBMC tools like XBMC Commander and SoulMate, I am finally able to enjoy and control my music playlist from my iphone/ipad, without having to turn on the TV! This is really a stepchange for me with regards to usability. But we are not there 100% yet. None of these external XBMC tools are yet able to rearrange the content of music playlists, and searching around this forum, the reason seems to be a limitation in the API these applications are using (JSON) ? So my question is: Is the required functionality to allow these applications full control of music playlists something which may be implemented in an upcoming release ? Thanks!

JSON RPC does support modification of playlists:

i don't know if this method was already there in dharma, but it certainly
is available in nightly builds.

Excellent - thank you for quick response! Hopefully these features will soon be utilized in upcoming versions of Ipad/Iphone XBMC remote control tools!

I looked a bit at the AudioPlaylist classes. Don't you also need something like Audioplaylist.MoveForward and AudioPlaylist.MoveBackwards in order to easily be able to drag and drop an existing playlist entry to another position in your playlist? Or can you use one of the existing classes ?

Another feature missing in current versions of XBMC remote tools is the ability to search for individual songs using JSON RPC. Anyone know if this is already supported in JSON RPC nightly builds ?
