Add way to have additional information on songinfo.html or song info mode

A request which has come up several times: have a way to add additional information to the songinfo.html page or the song information mode on the player. Some references: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=14230#8 http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26874&page=3#107 (ff.) related to: https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1793 Just to not forget some thoughts I had: I could imagine an additional hash in Buttons::TrackInfo to append custom entries to trackInfoLines/trackInfoContent. It should be possible to add some hook to a callback function to trackInfoContent to call a plugin function when the mode is entered (define a new type?). This would allow to easily call eg. the AlbumReview from the now playing mode or display rating information provided by TrackStat or similar plugins.
I already wrote this for Pandora (the Button interface). I never had a reason to port it to SlimServer but if you want to take advantage of this I'll be happy to sort it out.
Andy, this would be great. Nothing to get going before 6.5 is out, though.
No longer relevant. Plugins use a different metadata setup now.
This bug is being closed since it was resolved for a version which is now released! Please download the new version of SqueezeCenter (formerly SlimServer) at http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html If you are still seeing this bug, please re-open it and we will consider it for a future release.
