Insert multiple tracks via script - database id.

English Scripts

Hi guys,

Following on from a previous thread about inserting a track to the current playlist using the database id provided by a php script using the following piece of mAirList script:

begin CurrentPlaylist.Insert(CurrentPlaylist.GetNextIndex, Database(0).CreatePlaylistItem(HTTPGet('http://example.com/example.php'))); end.

is it possible to use a similar method for inserting multiple tracks if the php script spits out multiple IDs? mAirList script isn’t one of my strong points unfortunately so not sure how I would go about such a thing! :wink:

Thanks in advance!

Try this:

var
  list: IStrings;
  i: integer;

begin
  list := Factory.CreateStrings;
  list.SetText(HTTPGet('http://example.com/example.php'));

  CurrentPlaylist.BeginUpdate;
  try
    for i := 0 to list.GetCount - 1 do
      CurrentPlaylist.Insert(CurrentPlaylist.GetNextIndex + i, Database(0).CreatePlaylistItem(list.GetItem(i)));
  finally
    CurrentPlaylist.EndUpdate;
  end;
end.

The BeginUpdate/EndUpdate locks the playlist during the insert process, so that GetNextIndex is not updated until we release it again.

Nice I’ll try this in a bit!
What format does the list need to be? 12345, 67890, 21543, etc or something different?

One ID per line.
