Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Don't know. I thought I'd read in the DPL4 announce thread that there is a way to get your old SQLPlaylists into DPL4. I know in the DPLC template page at the bottom there's a "Save as" with a drop down. If you use the dropdown and pick the "Customized SQLite" option it brings up the SQL that you can then modify to add whatever you couldn't specify through the template pages. I also see that the last update to DPLC says it's now DPL4 only.

I've never used -Songinfo/SongLyrics-. But there were a lot of error messages in your previous log excerpts. Maybe check for yourself: go to (LMS default skin) -song view- for a song *without* embedded lyrics and see if the plugin still fetches lyrics (or whatever else it was supposed to fetch). mamema wrote: > one, quite funny thing is, that with the DPL3 plugin, if i use a "bring > up 5 star" stuff sql query, then the rated song is coming up, but it is > from another album, where this song is on. on compilation albums for > example. The compilation song wasn't rated with RL. If you start a dynamic playlist that's supposed to retrieve only 5-star tracks from the LMS database, it doesn't matter *what* you used to rate them in the past - RL, TrackStat, some SQLite command... All that matters is that the LMS database has a 5-star rating (100) for this track. As long as DPL3 only adds 5-star tracks that actually have a 5-star rating in the LMS database, I'd say it's doing what it's supposed to. In case I misunderstood your issue and you still think that DPL3/your dynamic playlist is not working properly, then I'll need more information: If it's a -built-in- dynamic playlist, please provide its *full* name from the menu.

i would say, my corner case is solved. Even though it is not a corner case, because it's me. :-) Thank you very much. one, quite funny thing is, that with the DPL3 plugin, if i use a "bring up 5 star" stuff sql query, then the rated song is coming up, but it is from another album, where this song is on. on compilation albums for example. The compilation song wasn't rated with RL.

Will release *Ratings Light* version 2.2.*4* soon when I've had time to do the usual pre-release tests. 2.2.4 has more log messages that should help troubleshooting. About SQLPlayList: just continue using it, should be fine. Hopefully, by the time it doesn't work anymore, -Dynamic Playlist Creator- will have exited the beta p to take over. I see that you still have the -SongInfo- plugin installed that throws a lot of errors. Maybe you could post a complete list of your installed plugins.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
so two things
1.) your reply to SQLPlaylist isn't clear to me
>That command = deprecated. SQLPlayList had code for playback logic
(Dynamic Playlist Creator doesn't) and is therefore affected. Had >to
happen sooner or later.
which means? Plugin SQLPlaylist NEEDS to be disabled?
2.) i was going not exactly the same route of your very good
troubleshooting guide, because, i was just not sure if i will find
another "not stick setting" song, so i started with the above mentioned
culprit and NO not moved, just "sorted into" the library, brand new,
played and listened yesterday.

Any thoughts about what might > cause such behavior? Sounds like a corner case. Assuming you're using the default preference values for *max.* number of *un*played songs (15) and *min.* number of *un*played songs (5), set the *log level* for DPL3 to *Info*. The next time when it stops too soon, check the log for relevant messages. If that doesn't give you anything conclusive, set the log level of DPL3 to *Debug*. Then check again when it stops too soon. Without meaningful log messages, it's impossible to tell why this is happening. But please don't post -huge- logs here (use the CODE tags), only the messages from immediately before it happened (see timestamps). mamema wrote: > [22-10-11 20:14:55.6204] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1325) Warning: > [20:14:55.6202] SQLPlayList: Error getting current playlist from > DynamicPlayList plugin: Undefined subroutine > ::DynamicPlayList::Plugin::getCurrentPlayList called at > /config/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SQLPlayList/Plugin.pm line 377.

It then committed those rating values to its own database table *and then to the LMS database*. So if you used CustomScan and the CustomScan auto-refresh (after a LMS rescan/restart), it would always replace the rating values in the LMS database with values it had pulled from the tracks' rating tag(s). That's one possible cause for unwanted rating changes after an LMS rescan / restart. Not sure how relevant it is in your case. mamema wrote: > Validation: rated in Material 5 Star - Default Skin outcome: LMS 100, > and (end user unclear) a 5 star (shown as stars), is this Ratings > Light? > > another song, also flac, never rated, i've rated with 5 stars in > Material, IT EVEN DOESN'T STICK in Material, even though it shows the > "end user message" "*" at the top of material after rating. > Of course i've ckecked default skin afterwards, nothing there So the plugins seem to work as expected. The only question remaining is why the rating value isn't committed to the LMS database for some tracks. Are they dead/moved tracks perhaps (= invalid file url = database problem)? RL will not rate invalid tracks (for good reason). Try this: open 3 browser tabs - one with LMS *player* (-default skin-), one with LMS *settings*, one with LMS *server log*. Then in the LMS -player- tab find a track for which the rating "doesn't stick". Rate it with the default skin, reload the tab and confirm the rating didn't stick. Now, in tab 2 (-settings-) set the log level for Ratings Light to *debug*, switch to tab 1 (default skin player) and try to rate the track again. Then go to tab 3 (server log) and check for relevant log entries. Good luck.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
I'm having an issue with DPL that has been happening intermittently going all the way back to when I was using Erland's original version. I set up the parameters of DPL and hit play, and the playlist just plays the first 15 songs and then stops. If I start again with the same parameters, it keeps playing beyond the first 15 songs and lasts pretty much forever (big collection). This behavior doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough that I always have to monitor closely until I get beyond 15 songs, and if it does, I know I can leave it alone to keep playing. It doesn't seem to matter what playlist I use or what parameters I use. I happens with the built-in DPL3 playlists as well as the ones I created with SQL Playlist. Any thoughts about what might cause such behavior? Much appreciated, as usual. nyindieguy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62092 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

We have: - rating action - display of ratings (in Material) - dynamic playlist You'll have to deal with these in that order. Unless you've confirmed that the rating was properly committed to the LMS database and eliminated this as a possible cause, you won't get any closer to finding a solution. ## *RATINGS* ## # *SETTING* TRACK RATINGS Let's first, once and for all, check if ratings are properly committed to your LMS database: - stop all playback - take a track you've -never- rated before, rate it 5 stars using Material Skin. Then go to the *default LMS skin*, *not* Material and click through to the *song info* view for this track. You should have *2* rating values there: one provided by Ratings Light (5 stars) and another one (further below) displaying the raw LMS database value (100). Does they have the new track rating (5 stars and 100 respectively)? - Then decrease the rating for this very *same* song to *1* star using Material. Then go to the *default LMS skin*, *not* Material and click through to the *song info* view for this track. You should have *2* rating values there: one by Ratings Light (1 star) and another one (further below) displaying the raw LMS database value (20). Does you see the *new* track rating (1 star and 20 respectively)? NOW, CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT THESE RATING WERE PROPERLY WRITTEN TO THE LMS DATABASE, AFTER EACH RATING CHANGE? If not, repeat the whole process but this time use the *LMS default skin[B], not Material to set the track rating (use a different track). # [B]DISPLAY* OF RATINGS First, it may take a short moment before the new rating is displayed in Material or the LMS default skin because the client display caches are emptied and updated on all clients. And the LMS default skin only refreshes every 5(?) seconds or so. Material uses Ratings Light only to commit rating values to the LMS database (unless that's changed and Material uses its own logic for setting ratings now). Material gets rating values directly from LMS. And the UI / display of ratings (except the Ratings Light context menu item) is handled by Material. But AFAIC no problems there. ## *DPL* ## I'm a bit confused here. Where did you find the "choose *max.* rating list"? I don't think there's a built-in dynamic playlist with that name. Maybe post the *complete* name. I only see "Songs - RATED (choose *minimum* rating)" and "Songs - RATED (choose *exact* rating)". Or is it a *custom* dynamic playlist that you've created? If so, did you use -Dynamic Playlist Creator- to create it or did you write the SQLite code yourself? In that case, you'd have to *post the sqlite code here* so I know what we're talking about. mamema wrote: > small issue > - only about 15 songs are listed (with play all /add all from DPL3) even > though i have much more top rated songs. > is this by design, or a limitation, which i have to configure? > 15 is the -default- max. number of *un*played tracks that DPL3 will *add* if you start a dynamic playlist, *not* the total number of tracks matching your parameters. You can change that in the DPL3 settings. See description of that preference in DPL3 settings. The idea of DPL3 is not to add *all* tracks that match your parameters *at once* but to add them in *batches* (batch size determined by the "number of unplayed songs" setting). See GitHub and FAQ for details. What if you had 12000 tracks matching your parameters? With a playlist of that size you'd run into problems sooner or later - performance on less capable players etc. mamema wrote: > > - could be because of rescan? > - i have never DELETED the db cache files (helped earlier back in > time) after switching to DPL3 > - i had used erlands plugins (trackstat and dynamic playlist) and still > use: > - custom browse > - custom scan > - database query > > but NO unsupported plugins > > i have no clear picture of the issue and no clear log errors, what do > you think? > > i'm just unsure if i can disable some of my plugins for testing, or > delete db files physically because of fear to break my environment which > was build over several years.. - A *delete*/wipe rescan usually *solves* problems. It shouldn't create major issues. Have you done a delete/wipe rescan recently? - The db cache files shouldn't matter. They're only used by the plugins who created them. And if you've uninstalled them, there's no harm in keeping them if you wanted to go back to Erland's plugin. Same for preference files. - Unless someone's taken over, I think CustomBrowse and CustomScan are *un*supported. Just to be clear:

Thank you. yes, no :-) your plugin is great and i've discovered your recommendation already (choose min rating) from above. I've also modified the rating numbers (5 max eg 100) but i've still have some odd situations, perhaps it is caused by my "erland plugin life" since the beginning:-) I'll try to explain, because honestly i'm lost 1.) sql "choose max rating list" from DPL3 is working (partly) 2.) i can rate songs with rating lights enabled via material skin (bottom right stars) and context menu right click so "should" work what i get big issues: - even though i select a song, which comes up after 1.) but shouldn't because != 5 Star and i decrease the rating half star or even "unrated" via right click context menu, THIS DAMN SONG IS COMING BACK EVERY TIME - even though i rate a song with top 5 star rating with Material skin buttom right, or context menu, THIS DAMN SONG never appears with 1.) small issue - only about 15 songs are listed (with play all /add all from DPL3) even though i have much more top rated songs. is this by design, or a limitation, which i have to configure? ...as you are the guy providing such great plugins, to step into the gap which has been there since erland left the party, i'm just asking for hints here. my (end user) assumption. - could be because of rescan? - i have never DELETED the db cache files (helped earlier back in time) after switching to DPL3 - i had used erlands plugins (trackstat and dynamic playlist) and still use: - custom browse - custom scan - database query but NO unsupported plugins i have no clear picture of the issue and no clear log errors, what do you think? i'm just unsure if i can disable some of my plugins for testing, because of fear to break my environment which was build over several years.. what would you do?

sorry to be a "bit late" to the party of DPL3. I am/was a longterm user of erlands great plugins and just have made the decision to jump ship to Ratings Light and DPLv3. Trackstat plugin and prefs are removed. DB was gone through a full rescan. i admit i'm not a the point to understand everything of those (also) great plugins from AF. I just have a basic need: - Rate music via material skin (give five stars) with browser on ipad/pc (works according to Ratings Log file) - Play those rated files via DPL3 (not started with custom SQL yet) the DPL part is some kind of "wacky" for my old brain to understand. "Top Rated" playlist in DPLv3, my expectation is "play only 5 star ratings" when i modify a rating from 5 star to 1 star, which is working according to the ratings log, those songs reappear in the standard build in "top rated dynamic playlist". why is that? mamema's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44662 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I believe I was able to save in a favourite folder in Erland's DP playlists customised by genre,year and possibly trackstat rating(it was not in the main favourite folder but rather in a separate favourite folder under the original DP.

That's a bit annoying, especially considering that adding dynamic playlists *with* (user-input) parameters to favs *wasn't even possible* with Erland's DPL. Yes, it's always been possible to add dynamic playlists *without* user-input parameters to favs, i.e. dynamic playlists that *don't* ask questions when you start them. And of course, these favs wouldn't be affected by any rescan because their urls contain no user-input parameters. And that hasn't changed with DPL3, not one bit. Adding dynamic playlists *with* (user-input) parameters to favs was an experimental feature that came later with DPL*3*. So... having a hard time to see the alleged regression here. If you want genres, artists or albums to stick across rescans, you name them in your SQLite statement of your custom dynamic playlist which you then add to LMS favs. Those favs will always survive rescans (their *url* contains no parameters) as long as you don't change the file name or extension. Same as in DPL2. Maybe it's better if I disable adding dynamic playlists *with* (user input) parameters to favs by default in the next update to avoid confusion and support problems.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Thanks I see the edit in favourites both in Material and Default skins but I do not know how to modify it to find the genres I specified originally. It's not too much bother to recreate a new DPL from the DPL3 selection but it seems a bit of a regression from Erlands DP which survived clear library rescans.

LMS provides the favorites framework and stores favs in a file called -favorites.opml-. But there's no need to edit them in that file, you can do so in the default skin: click the edit button next to Favorites and then again next to the fav you want to edit. Favorites saved by DPL3 basically follow the same pattern as the URLs you know, just a different protocol at the beginning: -dynamicplaylist://- instead of -http://-, followed by the dynamicplaylistid (part of which is the filename) + parameters, if applicable. Rescanning only invalidates favs if a dynamic playlist contains certain -user-input- parameters, i.e. it asks you for input (e.g. select genres) -when you start- the dynamic playlist. And that applies only to input parameters like artist/contributor IDs, album IDs, genre IDs playlist IDs. The fav url does not contain the name of artists, albums or genres but their database IDs. Otherwise you could end up with a monstrously long url and run into encoding problems. So the easiest and quickest way to restore such a fav is to -delete and readd- it. If your dynamic playlist does -not- contain user-input parameters, check if it is listed in DPL3's menu. Maybe you changed the filename? Or it has the wrong file extension (see the post before yours)? Should be filename*.sql* I hope that was helpful. Good luck.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
I 've been using the new versions of DPL and Custom skip for months and really enjoying the new functionality. In particular, I've been loving the built-in playlist that allows you pick random songs with multiple selected genres and also select a decade. My only question is whether Custom Skip can be applied to a built-in list. I have a secondary filter that skips any songs I have placed in the playlist called "skip." For my custom playlists, I just apply that filter. Is there a way to also apply it to the built-in playlists? Thanks, as usual, for keeping this alive. nyindieguy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62092 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Static playlists are basically saved (youtube) URLs. Plugins like DPL3 need tracks to be part of the library (with trackid and all) for SQLite filtering/searching. Static playlists work with those plugins if their tracks / track URLs match tracks that are part of the LMS library. Since that's not the case for youtube urls they won't. And playlists with youtube tracks behave like normal saved/static playlists, they just have different URLs. Also, there could be playlists with mixed content (youtube urls and local files). So filtering for youtube playlists and hiding them wouldn't be very reliable if possible at all. So your best bet would be using the LMS shuffle button before starting those youtube playlists.

Great to see this plugin being maintained. Thanks a lot! I use the plugin especially for playing my playlists in random order (I believe it is the only way to play playlists in random order, including the first track). Some of my playlists consist of youtube tracks, though, and while I can select them as static playlists in DPL, they won't play (at least not in random mode) . I read about songs from online services only being integrated when they are part of an album, but since youtube isn't an integrated online music service, I thought I'd ask if there is a way of playing those playlists with DPL too. If not, I'd suggest that these are not shown as static playlists in DPL. *Server*: LMS 8.1.1 on an Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine *Players*: Radio, Touch, Duet (Receiver & Controller), 2 Booms *Remote control apps*: Material Skin (Web UI), but also SqueezePad (iOS), Squeezecontroller (Android) *Important plugins*: Trackstat, Spicefly Sugarcube, Lazy Search Music, Custom Browse, Multi Library chaug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I could have sworn I had some alphabetical sorting (probably in some unreleased version though). It went undetected for so long because I don't use static playlists with DPL3 at all. In general dynamic playlists will always be listed in this order: 1. built-in 2. custom/user-provided 3. provided by other plugins. Within the last 2 groups they should be listed in alphabetical order. *Built-in* dynamic playlists are listed in a '*content-based*' order created by me. For example, I try to group dynamic playlists together that are about ratings, play count or genre/decade selection. This is unlikely to change. Don't forget you can always put your custom -dynamic- playlists in a custom playlist group just by adding the corresponding parameter (see wiki). Static playlists will be ordered alphabetically. I'll update the FAQ. So I've made some changes and uploaded them to the GitHub repo. If you know how to install the latest GitHub version of this plugin (manually) I'd appreciate you taking a look.

You want the track urls so you start with the tracks table. If you used DPL to select the genre (user input parameter) then DPL would look up the genre ID and therefore all the (built-in) dynamic playlist use the genre_track table (which only matches genre IDs and track IDs).

No, you didn't. What you are witnessing are some effects of the DPL3/CS3
renaming on the SQLPlayList plugin. The SQLPlayList plugin code expects
the old names - which will obviously never come back. That's why I try
to minimize or avoid ties between plugins. Thank you for letting me
know. I'll revise the FAQ notes on SQLPlayList compatibility in the next
days.
BTW the dropdown menu only ever existed in SQLPlayList but you probably
called SQLPlayList from DPL with the -edit- button (which just redirects
you to the SQLPlayList plugin). This redirect has probably led some
users to believe that DPL is involved in *creating* dynamic playlists.
But it -never- has been and -never will-, it just -plays- them.
Unless somebody else starts maintaining the SQPlayList plugin and
makes/keeps it compatible with DPL3 & CS3 this dropdown menu is gone.
The good news is that you can still make DPL use CustomSkip filter sets
by adding a playlist parameter to the SQLite code. Save your playlist in
SQPlayList as -Customized SQL- and on the next screen *before* the
sqlite statement itself, where the playlist parameters are (starting
with --), add the playlist parameter for your customskip filter set as
explained in the '*DPL wiki*'
(https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists/wiki/DPL-playlist-format#general-parameters)
in the paragraph below -Action/CLI parameters-.
And, of course, the renaming opened up the possibility of sticking with
the old versions (2.x). If you need CustomSkip2 you'd have to make a

So if you enter a group name in the "groups" field in SQLPlayList it will add the --- PlaylistGroups- parameter to your SQLite code and your dynamic playlist will be placed in a group folder with that name.

Whether you create your custom dynamic playlist with the help of SQLPlayList or you write it yourself from scratch... just 2 different ways of *creating* a dynamic playlist that DPL should *play*. So DPL does support setting CustomSkip filters but you just have to tell it to do so in your custom dynamic playlist (no matter if you use SQLPlayList or write the code yourself). Check out the FAQs/wikis for more information. Setting a customskip filter set for a dynamic playlist was always -static.- If you use SQLPlayList it just writes the name of the CustomSkip filter set you want to use into the dynamic playlist definition.

Afriend, Thanks so much for renaming so I can now use DPL 2 to play all my SQLPlaylists. I guess if DPL3 listed the existing SQLPlaylists I would be happy to switch. One thing I had requested from Erland after *buy*ing SQL and Dynamic playlists was to add BPM to the selection criteria, but it never happened. I manually edit some of my SQL playlists to filter on BPM since it's in the track table and I've populated it for all my music. These are great for setting a pace on the treadmill or walking.

Dear afriend, I have uninstalled all Erland plugins thanks to your advancements. The only issue I see is related to the ability to put DPL in the Favorites as you can see from the below pictures: 3612936130 Only some of them can be saved. I have also crosschecked the setup page enabling all the playlist in the favorites menu but without success. Moreover, in order to further enhance DPL V3 can I suggest a couple of addition? Instead of having a drop box for the genre can you implement a list of checklist as in the below picture? In this way is possible to select more than a genre at the same time. 36131 Include the Custom Skip as the last choice of the DPL with parameters (as it was for example in the SQL Playlist). Thanks again for your work.

Unsupported plugins only appear after a user have manually installed
them, confirmed that they work and issued a pull-request towards the
unsupported repo:
https://github.com/LMS-Community/lms-plugin-repository/blob/master/unsupported.xml
If people dont know how to make a pull request they can also just tell
mherger or another community developer to do it for them.
So the reason Custom Skip doesnt appear is that nobody has done this
yet. People using Custom Skip on 8.0 have installed it before they
upgraded to LMS 8.* or manually installed it after they setup LMS 8.*
The reason for the above process is to ensure plugins which have never
worked on 8.* doesnt appear in the unsupported list.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Following up, the only issue I've encountered is that where dynamic playlists from earlier versions of DPL3 had been saved as favorites, the favorites no longer work. I don't think that's surprising.

Actually I think I phrased that last part about coexisting in a misleading way (edited my post now). It was about making sure that these new versions 3 (with the different name) wouldn't block the listing of the previous versions 2 in the "unsupported extensions" section. Thanks for confirming that for DPL v2. And at least I know the missing CustomSkip2 is not related to CustomSkip v3. So that's something. Thanks.

Thank you for your opinion. The voice of reason always has a nice ring to it. Download counts suggest that apparently once DPLv3 is removed from the LMS main repo future versions would only reach a small fraction of all previous DPL v3 users which is kind of sad. Adding external repo urls seems to be a lot less common than I'd hoped. So you're right, it'd probably be better if DPL v3 remained part of the LMS main repo. Therefore I've changed the internal plugin name that LMS uses, both for Dynamic Playlists 3 and Custom Skip 3. But even if I add DPL3 or CS3 to the LMS main repo (again) one thing remains: due to some changes in my life I'll have even less time to spend on LMS plugins. I don't know yet what this will mean for these plugins (and others) but we'll see. That was actually the main reason I'd considered removing DPL3 from the main repo. BTW when I did some tests on a *clean* LMS 8.2.1 test system CustomSkip 2.5.83 didn't show up in the list of "unsupported extensions" for me. It's still listed in the main repo xml file though, just didn't show on the settings > plugins page under "unsupported extensions". All of the other plugins did though. Can anybody reproduce this? For testing purposes I've added the versions with the different internal name to this repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AF-1/lms-customskip/main/public.xml I did some preliminary tests but maybe users who know their way around github (RobbH et al.) could confirm that they still work as they should and whether the new versions, once installed, peacefully coexist with the old unsupported versions of DPL and CS in the LMS main repo.

Dear Erland, Thank you. This is crystal clear. I am actually on LMS 8.1 and your plugins are still working fine. Anyway, I truly understand your position and I have already made some effort to get rid of Multi Library and Custom Browse plugins, however IMHO Custom Skip and SQL Playlist have very useful features that have not yet fully replaced in DPL V3. I will do my best to encourage and support afriend to evolve DPL V3 for the benefit of the community. All my best.

Unsupported=Nobody has officially tested the plugin with the LMS version
and nobody have said they are going to fix any existing or future bugs
caused by the plugin itself or current or future LMS version. None of my
plugins are possible to install in LMS 8.0 or later unless you have
checked the Use unsupported extensions checkbox which also state that
you are aware of the risk that the plugins might even make whole LMS
unstable. If you have issues with LMS, one of the first thing you should
do IMHO is to uninstall any unsupported plugins to verify that they
dont cause the problem.
Deprecated=The plugin/functionality is still supported and bugs will be
fixed and users will be offered support if they have issues. However,
deprecated means that the plugin or functionality is planned to be
removed in the future. LMS has no way to indicate that a functionality
is deprecated as far as I know, so if you want such indication you will
have to monitor the forum and read between the lines. The fact that the
last release of Dynamic Playlist was more than 4 years ago when I told
everyone via forum that I wasnt going to have the time to maintain it
should be an indication. The fact that the last bug correction was 8
years ago should be an even better indication.
So I guess you can consider my version of Dynamic Playlist to be
deprecated and unsupported since 2017.
My personal recommendation, which Ive previously stated in the forum,
is that people that want to keep the functionality in my plugins should
look for a different solution or try to encourage other plugin
developers to implement something similar (like afriend did)
When someone (like afriend) decides to test, fix bugs and adjust
functionality in an unsupported plugin so you can get an officially
supported version again, thats a really good thing. Some functionality
might break or disappear because it relies on other unsupported plugins
but having a version thats officially tested and supported and might
get new features in the future is still a good thing IMHO. When another
developer offers a new version its natural that the roadmap for the
future goes in another direction.

If you use LMS 7.8.*, which is the last LMS version which my Dynamic
Playlist plugin was tested on, you will get my version since afriend
only offers his version on LMS 7.9 and later. Of course, using LMS 7.8
is no solution because then you are using an LMS version thats no
longer supported and might stop working at any time due to OS upgrades
and other similar things.
Im sorry about the situation, but this kind of issues is something you
will have to live with when you are using free software which relies on
people spending their spare time to fix bugs or add functionality. The
best way forward is to try to encourage the new developer in all
possible ways, complaining on someone who spend their spare time to
offer things for free is just going to make the situation worse.

Dear Erland, Thank you for your contribution. First of all I would like to thank all the developers for what they provide to the community. This is a priceless contribution to all of us. Having said that I have some concern about this topic even if I am new here. First of all I would like to understand the difference between deprecated and unsupported. You are stating that Dynamic Playlist V2 is unsupported while @Afriend is stating that the same library is deprecated. In the world of software development, "deprecated" refers to functions or elements that are _in_the_process_of_being_replaced_ by newer ones. While deprecated items may work in the current version of a programming language, they may not function in future updates. I can survive with unsupported plugins as far as they are not preventing usability. As far as I remember DPL V3 release notes doesn't mention nor any deprecated functions (at least at very beginning) neither warning of possible impacts on other related plugins, so when installed I (and some other user) was expecting backward compatibility. _Unfortunately_V3_prevents_CustomSkip_(for_sure)_and_MultiLibrary_(maybe)_plugins_to_work_properly_. Some users, including me, have made specific setup based on the above mentioned plugins and happy to stay stable on those setup. Now the question is: should I expect Afriend DPL V3 plugin to be a new plugin, based on DPL V2, with its own roadmap, so that I can remain with my current setup, or should I start investigating how to replace DPL V2, MultiLibrary and CustomSkip? The latter is not effortless. Thank you in advance for the clarification. My best wishes.

I havent read the whole thread, so Ill apologize in advance if Ive
misunderstood something in this situation. This post is not directed
towards you in personal, its directed towards anyone that dont like
that a new developer tries to continue maintenance of an abandoned
plugin.
Overriding an unsupported plugin should definitely be allowed in my
opinion. If we didnt allow this we would get a plugin inflation every
time a developer stops maintaining a plugin and someone else wants to
take over. People that prefer to use an unsupported version will have to
manually download and install that and they would have to accept a more
complicated installation process IMHO.
I understand why afriend plans to pull his version from the main repo to
avoid the criticism on the forum but I think this is really unfortunate,
it would be a lot better to keep it in the main repo so people can
easily install the supported version (afriends one) if they are usin
LMS 7.9 or later. Ive never tested or officially supported any of my
plugins on a LMS version later than 7.8, if they work on later LMS
versions its just pure luck and a matter of time until something
breaks.
Id personally prefer if afriend keeps his plugin in the main repo to
make it easy to install for people that wants a supported version and if
he wants to make it easy for people to install my unsupported version
changing the plugin name to DynamicPlayList3 in repo will probably
probably allow that. Im not sure if he would also have to change the
plugin directory name to DynamicPlayList3 to make it work properly,
which would make it a little bit more work. However, in my personal
opinion he can just keep the name as it is and refer the people that
wants my unsupported version to manual installation (recommended) or
downgrading LMS to 7.8 (not recommended). If people wants to know how to
manually install an unsupported plugin they should ask someone else in
the community, the new developer should not have to spend time
instructing people how to install someone else plugin IMHO.
Having said all this, I think its sad that people criticize people
(like afriend) that spend time for free to try make functionality
survive that have been abandoned by previous developers (like me). We
should encourage people that try to ensure as much functionality as
possible survives when the original plugin developer has abandoned a
plugin. We should also keep in mind that all plugin developers offers
their spare time for free to do this for us. If we dont do our best to
encourage them in all possible ways we are soon going to end up without
any plugin developers and that will be an early step towards the death
of the LMS community.

LMS does not import single online tracks or tracks of online playlists as *library* tracks. So if you meant a Spotify list of non-library tracks, then no.

What br@m said.
TrackStat's *track_statistics* table and the default LMS
*tracks_persistent* table basically contain the some information. So if
you're just retrieving -ratings- or stats like -last played, date added-
or -playcount- you can simply query *tracks_persistent*. I don't know
-how- you use TrackStat but seeing that you seem to have another rating
plugin installed (Ratings Light?) you don't necessarily need TrackStat
to set ratings or retrieve ratings/stats.
The website you linked to probably uses DPL v2. With DPLv3 you can use
your custom dynamic playlist definition directly in DPL (without
SQLPlayList), just by putting the file in the DPL custom playlist
folder. SQLPlayList is still a good way to start creating your custom
dynamic playlist but please remember that it can't know '*all DPL v3
playlist parameters*'
(https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists/wiki/DPL-playlist-format#playlist-parameters)
because its last version dates from before DPL v3.

Hi all,
For the record: I'm still very happy with DP3 ;-).
Mainly I'm making (ahem, "hacking together", 'with a little help'
(https://www.cameron.willmot.ca/posts/dynamicplaylist/)) my own custom
Dynamic Playlists that should work -without user interaction-, so just
click and play.
I've got things like "Toprated songs added in the past year, and in
genre X, Y, Z" working perfectly.
The only thing that's not (really) working is *excluding songs that were
played recently* (say: in the last 3 days).
This SQL with Beatles top rated tracks is playing fine (no errors in the
log):
36019
...but the
Code:
and ifnull(track_statistics.lastplayed,0)<(STRFTIME("%s",DATE('NOW','-3

seems to be ignored, because Carry That Weight is queued, but it
shouldn't have been because it was last played yesterday:
36020
How do other people do this?
Thanks,

There are other users of DPL v3 who (accidentally?) updated to v3 and who don't quite dislike the new version as much. Readding v3.2.5 with latest fixes and (more importantly) the info message to the LMS main repository for a *limited time* was the only reliable way to make them aware that without adding the new github repo url they won't get future updates. In my experience most users don't spend much time in this forum unless they have to. Most likely many of them would have never noticed that they were cut off from future v3 updates. So as unfortunate as it is for users like you that was the way to go. Thank you for your understanding. To revert to Erland's version you could simply wait until I pull 3.2.5 from the main repo for good (in about 1-2 weeks) and then reinstall Erland's version the usual way. Or if you want a quick and permanent fix you could install Erland's version manually (more about this '*here*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists/tree/7283a5f2c591f7ab1c5461fe8dfb3f9c6fb3428c#reverting-to-dynamicplaylist-v2)).

Add the --- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited- before the sqlite statement
and lose the single quotes (limit 10). Then the *max.* limit is either
2000 tracks ('unlimited') if you don't set a limit in your sqlite
statement or else whatever your limit says. And the number of added

Maybe I misunderstood or you. To use your example try this: in the web UI home menu, go to CS and create *2 different filter _sets_*. - Leave the *first* filter *set* empty or at least *don't* include a rule to skip "Revolution #9". - In the *second* filter *set* do *enable* filtering for "Revolution #9". - Then on that very same screen (home menu > CustomSkip) *click on the _first_ filter -set-* to make it your *primary/default filter set* (=always on, filtering on all playlists).

Testing: - add "White Album" to your client playlist ([B]without DPL, no dynamic playlist*) and slowly skip forward to "Revolution #9." and see if it's skipped. It shouldn't be because the primary filter doesn't have a rule for this and the secondary filter set is not enabled. - then start your dynamic playlist that includes the "White Album". Now "Revolution #9." should be skipped - as long as DPL is active - because DPL/SQLPlayList enabled the secondary filter set when you started your dynamic playlist. Make sure all settings apply to the same client because -some CS settings like active primary filter set are client-specific-. BTW when I tested this it didn't filter on -all- playlist (despite the pref setting which might be deprecated, not certain it still has any effect). *Distinguishing between -secondary- and -primary- filter seems more important* to me than this pref setting.

Thanks once again for your patient explanation. After more
experimentation, it is clear that the filter only works if it is applied
to all playlists. I know you are done with this and completely respect
that.
I'm going to put this out there in the hope that someone else decides to
tinker with CustomSkip and fix this one remaining issue. In order to
frame why this an issue (at least for me), I'll offer up an example. If
the setting for CustomSkip is to apply to ALL playlists, it applies to
EVERYTHING, including just playing an entire album. So my example is if
I want to play The Beatles "White Album," i actually do want it to
include "Revolution #9." But I have that song in my Skip list so that it
never plays in a random playlist. So, right now I have to make a choice
between those two outcomes. In the old version, CustomSkip could be set
to only apply to lists played through Dynamic Playlists.
I know I have the option of going back to the old versions of both
plugins, but I love the new functionality in afriend's updated DPL.
Wondering out loud if anyone else out there has this issue, and if
someone would be willing to help solve it.
Thanks for hearing me out.

I have good & bad news. The good news is that testing showed that the
revised CustomSkip version 2.5.85 works as expected. The bad news is
that I don't know why it doesn't work for you.
I've created a dynamic playlist with SQLPlayList ('-Random playlist
songs - Random songs from a saved playlist-'), then created a filter set
('-Test-') that skip songs with years equal to or greater than the
selected year. And it works.
To help you find the cause maybe some information on how CustomSkip
works might be useful:
In CS you can choose 1 *active* filter (set) for each client (let's call
it *primary* filter). If global skipping is enabled (as it should be) it
will -always- filter unwanted tracks. I do that for tracks < 90 seconds
and tracks with 'never' in comment tag.
When you choose a CustomSkip filter (set) in -SQLPlayList-, it's a
*secondary* filter. It's enabled when a dynamic playlist is started and
disabled when the dynamic playlist is stopped.
A dynamic playlist is also stopped when DPL can't find any more tracks
to add (matching your search criteria) meaning it will disable the
secondary filter this very moment (I haven't changed that) because DPL
has stopped and is not involved any longer. Therefore no more secondary
filtering even if the current client playlist still has some remaining
tracks to play. And if those remaining tracks include tracks that should
be filtered by the secondary filter, they won't be because DPL has
disabled the secondary filter before exiting.
You can verify if a dynamic playlist is active if you check "Show name
of active playlist in main menu" in DPL settings and then enter the DPL
menu from the home menu. If a dynamic playlist is active it will show
its name on top. But it's -not dynamically updated-, you need to reenter
this menu to verify again after a song change. It wasn't designed for
debugging.
If the criteria for your static saved playlists return too few matches
too soon then secondary filtering will not work great for you I guess.
If you don't want to deal with SQLite and custom dynamic playlists maybe
use constant filtering (primary filter) instead. I've attached a
screenshot of my test setup so you can recreate it.
BTW please note that I've pulled DPLv3+ from the LMS main repo. If you
want to keep using it please follow the instructions on the github page
(adding repo url).
Good news: you can now easily switch back to DPLv2 and CustomSkip 2.5.83
if you want to.
I'm really sorry but that's really all I can do now in my limited time.

Sorry if I'm being a pain in the neck. I would gladly contribute something to support your efforts. nyindieguy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62092 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
