Title: creating playlists
Post by: music33 on July 30, 2010, 04:53:01 am
Peter,
I want to create playlists in a seperate program and have XXHighEnd play them back.  I have several questions -
(1) In the plxx file the first XML node is <No>.  What do I need to put in there or can it be any number as long as they are sequential
(2) I notice my plxx files created by XXHighEnd are put in the c:\  Is there some config setting that will save the plxx files somewhere other than the root directory of c drive?
(3) Is there a command line to XXHighEnd where I can pass the playlist as an argument?  If not, how would you recommend I have another program call XXHighEnd in unattended mode and play a specified playlist.

Many thanks in advance, let me know if I'm missing anything.
Dave

Hi Dave,

I completely forgot to answer this one. Sorry !

I just looked, and it looks like they are just a copy of whatever was in there at creating the Playlist.
Summarized : I don't think it matters a thing what's in there.
One thing to keep an eye on though : When the track came from a Cue File, there will be something in there like 19c03. The 19 is again your "random" number, but the c03 denotes the 3rd track of the large .WAV (etc.) file. At this moment I can't tell whether *that* does anything special !

They go to the directory denoted by "Data folder" in the Settings Area. If nothing is filled in there, they go to your current XX directory (which should be your root in your example - so you have put XXHighEnd in the root if all is right).

At this moment ? none. But it is very very close to start doing such a thing.
It is my advice to awaiten 0.9z-3, and you will see (I think) how close it is in there. Next we can proceed on it. Ok ?
