== Upgrading [[SqueezeCenter Plugins|SlimServerPlugins]] to [[SlimServer]] 6.5 ==

=== Database Access ===

Slim::Music::Info::get[[CurrentDataStore]]() is replaced by Slim::Schema; e.g. To get a track from a URL:

 $track = Slim::Schema->resultset('Track')->objectForUrl($url);

To get a list of genre names from a track:

 map {my $gen = $_; $gen->name()} ($track->genres())

=== Command Subscriptions ===

Slim::Control::Command::set[[ExecuteCallback]]() is replaced by Slim::Control::Request::subscribe(); e.g.

 <nowiki>Slim::Control::Request::subscribe(\&commandCallback,[['playlist'],['newsong']');</nowiki>

Slim::Control::Command::clear[[ExecuteCallback]]() is replaced by Slim::Control::Request::unsubscribe().

==== Command Callbacks ====

To get the params from a command callback:

 sub commandCallback($) {  
     my $request = shift;  
     my $client = $request->client();  
     # Parameter - filename of track being played  
     my $filename = $request->getParam('_path');  
     #or  
     my @params = $request->renderAsArray();
 }

==== Client Methods ====

Many functions are now client methods; e.g. Slim::Display::Animation::showBriefly() is now $client->showBriefly()

==== Setup ====

Validation functions have moved; e.g. Slim::Web::Setup::validate[[TrueFalse]]() is now Slim::Utils::Validate::trueFalse()

==== Others ====

Slim::Player::Playlist::song($client) returns an object rather than the url. Call ->url on the function to get the URL.
