Fwd: Scripting Service Questions

[Andreas Wuest]

Hi Nikolaj,

thanks a lot for your response. i guess i have to wait at least until 2.0.1 
:-(

one last question: usually the radio streams are provided as m3u files. 
some of these files contain two streams. the usual one and another one, 
that seems to be a fallback stream (e.g. Bayern 1 in the german radio 
stream service). When i add the radio station to the playlist 2 stream 
items are added, which is not really nice. is it possible to tell amarok 
that it should only add one stream of the m3u file ? if playing that stream 
fails it should try the second stream url in the m3u. i guesss that is not 
possible so far (if something like that can be implemented at all 
properly).

cheers,
andy
