I'm not sure I understand what you mean here.
The basic procedure today is as follows: 1. Create a filter from the web interface I could change this so an empty default filter is automatically created, as an alternative the default filter could contain usual options such as skipping zapped songs. But I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for ? 2. After the filter has been created you can add/edit/remove filter items to it. This can be done in serveral ways: - By hitting the Edit link in the Custom Skip web interface and select the "Edit", "Delete" or "Create new filter item" links in the filter editing page. - By going to the filter in the "Plugins/Custom Skip" menu on the SqueezeBox. Here you can edit existing items, add new items and also delete items by editing them and setting the skip percentage parameter to 0. - By holding Play down on the SqueezeBox remote. This will give you access to the current active filter with the artist/album/genre/playlist/track which you stand on pre-selected. You will be able to select type of filter item to create in the currently active filter. If a filter item of this type for the specified artists already exists this will be changed instead of creating a completely new filter item. - In a future relase there should also be mix buttons in the web interaface to be able to do the same thing from the web interface as holding play on the remote this. I left this functionality out in the first release. 3. After the filters and their filter items has been created you can select which filter you like to activate. As you have seen above a filter is a collection of filter items. The idea is that you make filter a filter for each combination of filter items you like to filter on. My guess is that a typical setup would be very few filters with a bit more filter items in each filter. It is then easy to choose which filter you like to activate at a specific time by either selecting it in the web interface or hitting play on it in the SqueezeBox interface. In a future release I have also been thinking that it might be a good idea to be able to connect different filters to different Dynamic Playlist/SQLPlayList playlists. As I interpret your question you are looking for step 2 which already exists. Maybe the problem is just that you can't get into step 2 for some reason since you are saying that you can't edit the filters ?

Makes sense, I'll add it to the wish list Yannzola;169408 Wrote: > And finally, I cannot edit the filters. Bugs?What happens ? Do you get any error messages ? Anything in the slimserver log (http://localhost:9000/log.txt) Are you editing from the web interface or from the player interface ? Do the user running slimserver have write access to the directory which has been specified in the settings page in server settings for Custom Skip ?

The same type of logic could probably also be applied to album and artists. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist), 'Custom Browse' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-custombrowse),'Custom Scan' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-customscan),'Custom Skip' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-customskip) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31381 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
