This is an index of commands for the web and player User Interfaces - intended to answer the question "where do I find the command to...?"
The baseline server version for this table is 6.5.0 - any variants in earlier versions will not be shown here.
"Version" is server software version - blank means all versions.
Third party plugins are not shown here - see the plugins page - but a few core functions that are implemented as plugins are shown. You may need to enable them in server settings-plugins to see them.
The Web UI Location information is correct for the Default skin and other skins using the same basic layout. Note that some skins move things around, that is not covered here (too hard!).
Note also that some player-specific options will only appear if the player has the relevant feature.

Updating this page
If you just want to make a minor correction, just edit the page in the normal way. Please though look out for instances where the same item is repeated under different index terms (eg "Song", "Title", "Format") and try to keep them consistent (hint: use your browser "find" function!).
However, if you want to do something major like change columns, do a global replace, or audit against a working system, its probably worth reversing the process by which the page was built in the first place...
- edit the page, and copy the table text
- paste the table text into Word
- convert text to table using | as the delimiter character
- copy the resulting table into Excel
- you can now sort / shuffle / change the Excel table as much as you want...
- before reversing the whole process!
