Hi

Has someone done any work on a plugin which integrates with SlimServer ?

Unless someone already has started I'm thinking about making a try at 
this, my idea is to base it on the mythmusic plugin. Instead of reading 
the information from the MythTV database it would retrieve the 
information from SlimServer either via the CLI interface or by using 
direct database access towards the SlimServer MySQL database.

Has anyone an idea if this would be the best way to do it or if I should 
base it on some other plugin code ?

Could I base it on the 0.20 version of mythmusic or has there been big 
changes in the 0.21 version of mythmusic so it would be better to use that ?

I'm running MythTV 0.20 in my living room, so it would have to be 
compatible with the 0.20 release.

The main functionality I am thinking of is:
- Make it possible to browse the music in SlimServer in some different ways
- Show album covers
- Make it possible to start playing selected music on the SqueezeBox

Regards
Erland
