You did it correct, make sure you didn't enter a space before or after the ; It also requires a full rescan after you have done this change, I think it will do this automatically but I'm not completely sure.

The Playlist Manager plugin: http://www.hergest.demon.co.uk/Music/slim/PlaylistManPlugin.htm This plugin makes it possible to hold a key down on the currently playing song in the "Now Playing" menu, and you will get to choose from a number of playlists you like to put the track in. 2. The TrackStat plugin together with Dynamic Playlist and SQL Playlist plugins. The TrackStat plugin makes it possible to rate songs directly in SlimServer or with SqueezeBox remote. With the SQL Playlist plugin you can then create a smart playlist which only contains tracks rated as 5 stars. It can also be combined with genres if you like to play all "Pop" rated tracks rated as 5 stars. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37925 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
