actually, I can't seem to play any item within a playlist.  playing the whole
playlist is fine.

nevermind.  I bothced the code while trying to extract info.  songs work fine. 
streams within playlists seem to require the playlist add command in order to
work.  

This worked fine:
http://server:9000/index.html?player=<mac>&p0=playlist&p1=add&p2=http://205.188.234.38:8070/

example of how to make this work

we can use the itemobj.isRemoteURL tt object to choose the url appropriate for
playing remote url's or local tracks.  This can be done rather quickly, in time
for 6.1.  Later, this could be kept or rework Pages.pm to serve up more of the
url so that the skins don't have to code so much of it.

This example is for fishbone and default skins.

updated to include EN and HandHeld

Have tested with all 4, and individual urls within playlist will play/add

kdf - can you check this in, if you haven't already?

Thanks.

will do.

committed at change 3752.

punting post 6.1 for consideration of server rework to make this cleaner

kdf:  what more needs to be done here?

I'm not sure really.  I thought originally that the server could feed the needed command (addtracks/add 
or playtracks/play) but that seem to just be more of the problem by being too specific.  If the current 
method used in the skins is ok, we can close this off.  They do work.

Dean,

If you are fine with the skins handling this (as in Default, EN, HandHeld and
Fishbone), I can simply make sure the rest of the included skins are done this way.

Moser and Touch skin done at change 4124.
that seems to be all the skins that need it now.
