Category Playlist Url?

I am attempting to create my own flashplayer that uses boriel's wordpress cms to generate the playlist's. I want to make the player in as3 with the ability to flip between the different categories in the flash. The one thing that I am having trouble figuring out is how to access the playlist of a specific category so I can get the generated xml just for that category. I can see the full playlist if I just go to playlist.php but can't figure out how to pass the variable to just view a playlist called "Radio" that I have defined in the categories section of wordpress.

I was reading through the php and think I have to pass a "cat" variable, but if I do /playlist.php?cat="Radio" nothing happens.

Does anyone know how to pass the variable to view a specific category's playlist?

Figured it out. Its just playlist.url?cat=1 (replace the category with 1, 2, 3, etc depending on how many playlists you have)

I kept trying the playlist name.

Nice to hear you finally got it working. Do you have a web page where we can see the player in action?

the player is on the sidebar at http://www.quarterlifeparty.com

However, its not compeltely working. I am having some weird issues with finding the category. if I do /xspf player url/playlist.php?cat=1 it shows a playlist.... however if I do /playlist.php=2 or 3 then it shows nothing. I can't figure that out. Any info on why this might be happening?

I also think I might try to make some php that attached the xspf player manage area to the media gallery so that when you place songs in a post you can just automatically add them to the xspf player too (selecting a category & information at that moment instead of having to make it two steps)

Nevermind, I looked in the database and it was placing the categories at different numbers. so Im ust have added some categories and then deleted them, so new categories were up some numbers at like 5 & 6 which i wasn't trying. Works great now

thats a very nice way to show a series of categories... do you have any plans to release for the WP community ?

i will once I familiarize myself with how to make aplugin.
