Hi guys

I was wondering if there was a option in any way to launch a specific smartlist (lets say my 5 star rating list) by a hotkey or a command for the command line. i want to be able to use amarok in my living room as well (i already have it on 3 machines....why not add a fourth ....) and use my remote to launch specific playlist...is that possible?

thx

I doubt it is possible with a smart playlist, but you can manually create an ordinary playlist, and load it with:

Code: Select all

amarok -l /path/to/playlist.m3u

hi

thx for the answer 

unfortunately i need smart list support since i dont have a keyboard/mouse in the living room and want to fire up different playlists with LIRC and my remote. I wonder if its something that could appear in V2.

thx

Whats smart lists have to do with lirc? You can run an ordinary playlist with remote as well, it's just it'll not be updated all the time.

exactly  ..since i dont have a keyboard i want to use different dynamic modes (soft music, rock music etc..) so they go on for a while instead of manually each time transferring a playlist before i want to listen to music in my living room. in the days when i was a windoz user (2 years ago...) i used a program called j river media center where you could launch a specific smarlist with a command like mc.exe /pathto/smarlist.


thx

seems like a reasonable request to me

Have you considered posting a wish at bugs.kde.org ?
