Re: Huge playlists

Hi Jacob,

Sorry it took me so long to get to this.

I just checked in a couple of fixes and documentation on the HTTP 
interface to the server.  Should make it much easier for you to build 
your wrappers.

For example:

wget http://slimserver:9000/display?p1=Hi&p2=Mom&p3=5

puts

Hi
Mom

up on the display for 5 seconds.

Check it out and let me know what you think...
