Ah, I haven't provided support for Web UI. My feeling was that it is always going to be easier to manage playlists on the server using other applications and then scan them into SBS. The plugin was for adding music to playlists from a squeezebox player.

It is possible to drag & drop tracks to change order from the standard SBS playlist Web UI screen (but again, much easier/faster to do large edit operations from a dedicated application and then rescan playlists).

But in priciple i think sbs should be more able, if the goal is to compete in the mainstream ?
I'm ok with using different aplications to maintain my music,but it can be a treshold for some.

Yeah, I have been using it on my iPad too (with iPeng) and it's working great. (I don't even remember how to access it from the IP3K players.) Nice to have this one back!

I just tried it on Logitechs Andorid App and the SqueezeCommander. They both works as well.

Hi Phil,

I see an error in SqueezePad with the latest Playlist Manager plugin version. This is only when SqueezePad is in the 'Playlist Modification Mode' = 'Always Ask' mode, where it tries to detect playable menu items, and then presents a small popup.

As SqueezePlay has no identification for playable menu items (sometimes also the 'do' or 'go' command contain the actual play command), SqueezePad uses a heuristic: whenever behind a 'do' or 'go' command there is exactly the command as behind the actual 'play' command, it considers this menu item to be playable 'leaf' menu item.

Now when one uses the playlist manager 'Add To ...' menu, then there is a menu with some predefined playlists, but also an 'Other ...' menu item where one actually can select all other playlists.

The cometd definition of this menuitem from the logs is as follows:

                          {
                             actions => {
                                   add => {
                                         cmd => ["playlistman", "add", "track"],
                                         params => { id => 35_498, menu => 1, other_playlist => 1 },
                                       },
                                   go => 'fix',
                                   play => 'fix',
                                 },
                             text => "Other ...",
                           },

(the 'fix' parts are later replaced with the content of the 'add' command)

I think it is wrong to have a mapping for the 'play' and 'add' button here, as a submenu follows and the play command typically does not drill down into a menu.

Also the current mappings is what what confuses SqueezePad. The 'go' command is mapped to the same command as 'play' and so SqueezePad (when in this special mode) thinks this menu item will start playing some tunes.

Any chance, that this menu item can be mapped just with a 'go' command, like it is common for all non-playable menu-items?

Except for this little issue, everything works fine in SqueezePad with your plugin.
