SqueezeCenter DynamicPlayList

This plugin for slimserver makes it easy to create your own dynamic playlists such as the Random Mix and the SQLPlayList's plugin. It also makes it possible to collect all these playlists below the same menu on the Squeezebox and web interface.

Basically you will need to implement two methods in your own plugin:
- getDynamicPlayLists
- getNextDynamicPlayListTracks

See my Wiki for information about Dynamic Playlist and my other plugins.

See here for more information about the slimserver and SqueezeBox.
