[mythtv] Thor's New Playlist Interface 101

[jasonmiller]

Thor's new playlist functionality is a great addition but is somewhat difficult to figure 
out in the absence of any documentation :)  I thought I'd make a VERY rough pass to save 
people some frustration.  I'm no expert at modifying playlists yet either so please add, 
modify, refute, whatever as necessary:

Q: How do I create a new playlist?
A: Using the MythMusic 'Select Music' menu option, setup the playlist as you normally would 
   by adding songs or other playlists as needed.  When you are ready to save the new playlist, 
   highlight 'Active Play Queue' at the bottom of the selection tree and hit the 'i' key.  
   This will popup a menu allowing you to name and save the new playlist.

Q: How do I enter the playlist name in the text field without a keyboard?
A: Use the keypad number keys (bound to your remote) to select letters cell phone style.

Q: How do I edit a playlist?
A: Highlight the playlist in the selection tree and hit the 'i' key then select 'Move to 
   Active Play Queue' in the popup.  Now you can modify the 'Active Play Queue' like normal, 
   adding songs and playlists by selecting them from the song tree.  When you are done, 
   highlight the 'Active Play Queue' in the selection tree and hit the 'i' key then select 
   'Save Back to Playlist Tree'.

Q: How do I delete an item from a playlist?
A: Highlight the item in the selection tree and hit the 'd' key.

Q: How do I rearrange the songs in my playlist?
A: Highlight a song and hit the 'space' bar, the song will now have pair of red arrows in 
   front of it.  Use the up and down arrow keys to move it around in the playlist.  When you 
   have it where you want it, hit the 'space' bar again.

Q: How do I delete a playlist?
A: Highlight the playlist in the selection tree and hit the 'i' key then select 'Delete 
   this Playlist' from the popup.
