Hi!
I'm rewriting the rc console interface to implement special functionality for my Internet-TV channel.
Now I need one function, that is not straightforward. I need a special command (I call it "sweep") to delete all playlist contents except the currently playing file. There are two hurdles - to determine the file being played (I suppose I'll be able to find sometning like this in http interface) and to delete the all other playlist items (I don't know yet how to do this).

Could anyone give me a hint or code snippet?

TIA

Modify the file in modules/controls/rc.c

Heh... I know what to change but I don't know how.
What I do really need is the way to find the current input's position in playlist to try deletion loops on items before and after the currently playing one.

I was surprised when I discovered that current version of rc.c does not have the "remove" command. Now mine has one.

Solved.
Added "clear" command (it was missing in rc interface).
Added "i_id" field in "playlist" command output.
Added "goto <i_id>" command.
Added "remove <i_id>" command.
Added "sweep" command (removes all playlist items except currently playing one).

if someone is interested in these functions I can build a diff.

Yes, diff would be great!
