some questions regarding playback from the intranet web server;

a. - where is cache/buffer and how can i preserve it? (in case server drops down) - i'd like to preserve entire files really (or should i bite the rsync stuff)
b. - how can i make it skip playing files in playlist that are no longer on location instead of erroring out?
c. - would it be possible to refill playlist without player exiting and leaving fullscreen mode (i'am writing a bat script)

this is what i have so far;


:loop

del playlist.m3u

wget http://server/play/playlist.php
rename playlist.php playlist.m3u

:: mpc must be set to loop only once or twice
mpc\mpc-hc.exe playlist.m3u /play /fullscreen /close

goto loop

where playlist.php is a php script that generates filelist.

and some wishes:
could we have the ability to define logo path as relative, like LogoFile=mpc\logo.png
