Hi There,
I am the manager of a rock bar in Scotland. We currently provide a request service for our customers to 'pick their own playlist'. I was wondering if it would be possible to use an htpc and XBMC to create an interactive jukebox service.
Currently we are using a pc setup with winamp which requires a member of staff to add requested songs to the playlist. I thought it would be very cool to use XBMC's beautiful interface instead. I have no plans to make this a touch screen service, hopefully just requiring a keyboard, (and a mouse if required).
The native XBMC music interface would work well, but I was wondering if I would be possible to lock certain features, so the customers only have the ability to search and queue up songs, possibly with a time limit between queue entries (to avoid flooding the playlist).
Is this something I can achieve with a standard XBMC setup, or would this require a new plugin of sorts?
I understand that if someone was to take on such a task, it would require quite a bit of time and skill and I have no problems donating to any dev who fancies having a go.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
