Notes 

  1. All boolean parameters may use 'on', '1', 'true' or 'yes' for the logical value true and 'off', '0', 'false' or 'no' for false.

  2. The behavior of the directory commands has significantly changed with PM123 1.40. The content of the directories is no longer expanded inline into the playlist. A reference to the directory is added to the playlist instead. This has several side effects. Unplayable items appear in the navigation. The directory is rescanned every time the playlist is loaded.

  3. In PM123 before version 1.40 the playlist manipulation commands always operate on the currently playing item. Now the new commands pl_prev, pl_next and pl_reset are dedicated to playlist operations.
  4. Since PM123 1.40 all playable objects are identified by an URL. But there are some implicit conversions to keep compatibility.
