Generate DLNA video / music playlists server side?
Hi,
I'm completely new to the DLNA thing, i used xbmc and samba shares for a long while but since i've purchased a smart tv i've just recently discovered this dlna thing and transcoding server side is beautiful!
The issue i've ran into is that i need a way to create random playlists for both video files and music files server side, i have a javascript that generates vlc playlists that works with XBMC but how can i do this for DLNA content and play these playlists using my LG TV?
Why is random video playlist cool? Well it acts are your own "tv channel" where you have movies, music videos, series etc and it plays everything random and updates the playlist each night everytime the scheduled job to look for new files and update the playlists server side.
Anyone have an idea how i can do this?
Thanks.
