playlists - arbitrary datasets defined by file location, with/without an order of execution #37

Open kaisersozeh opened 6 years ago

kaisersozeh commented 6 years ago

Creating collections of titles involves changing the metadata of files to include a common category. Instead, it would offer greater ease of use to provide the capacity for collections to be defined only by the file location for each file - similarly to a media playlist - although it may be necessary to include the cover locations. If the file defining the file locations also defined an order of execution, such that exiting one title initiates the next on the list, on return to wiiflow - that capacity could prove immensely powerful in broader applications beyond "every zelda game in release order" playlists It's already default behaviour for emu titles to return to wiiflow - the additional functionality requires that wiiflow checks if it's midway through a playlist on boot; and offer the ability to break the chain to the user.

WiiFlow Lite now accepts arguments - on booting wiiflow, could check to see if it's midway through a playlist - if it is, add one to the playlist counter and load the appropriate title from the defined playlist.
