In short

I saw in a previous topic in 2012 that ".playlist set" functionality and a tutorial was planned, and a user also wrote t — Staff replied: “The command name is ".PLAYLIST SET". Parameter 1 is the playlist name then. The parameter is not ".playlist set playlistname". So, command ".PLAYLIST SET" and then parameter 1 is "Recent" for instance.”

Question 2013-05 · older version

I saw in a previous topic in 2012 that ".playlist set" functionality and a tutorial was planned, and a user also wrote that .Airplay set was working... I too have a Mac Mini as my itunes server.

 

I try to use ".playlist set <em>playlistname" (for parameter 1) </em>but this does not appear to work.

Am I doing something wrong, missing a parameter or syntax, or is it simply not implemented yet?

anyway to do this? (without enlisting remote buddy if possible)

Thanks,

Johnny

The command name is ".PLAYLIST SET". Parameter 1 is the playlist name then. The parameter is not ".playlist set playlistname".

So, command ".PLAYLIST SET" and then parameter 1 is "Recent" for instance.

Thank you.

Thanks for the response...

Yes of course, I am not an idiot :stuck_out_tongue: the above was for example and in italics! Using the actual setlist name is not working for me.

parameter 1 = KCRW (where KCRW is the playlist name)

i tried a couple of my other playlist names as well, but no joy.

any other ideas?
