To make it as simple as possible, this is what you need: - Custom Scan plugin: It sounds like you already has installed and configured it correctly. - SQL Playlist plugin: For the rating playlists - Dynamic Playlist plugin: Required by SQL Playlist plugin - TrackStat: To make smart playlists with ratings
TrackStat is actually not a requirement, but it will be a lot simpler with it because if you have it installed you will get some templates for playlists based on ratings in SQL Playlist. Without TrackStat you will have to edit the SQL statement manually when configuring the playlist in SQL Playlist plugin. The Custom Skip plugin is not the best way to do the playlists you describe, so I suggest you remove it until you see some need for it. When you have unzip'ed the 4 plugins mentioned above, this is what you need to do: 1. Configure the Rating Tag scanning module in Custom Scan, it sounds like you already has done this. Remember to also activate it for automatic and full rescans, the checkbox at the top of the configuration page for Rating Tag. 2. Goto the SQL Playlist plugin and choose to create a new playlist, choose the playlist type "Advanced with rating" 3. In the playlist change the parameters: - Playlist name: Rated 3 or higher - Minimum rating: 3 4. Click Next and give the playlist a suitable filename, like: "3orhigher.sql.values" and then click Save 5. Repeat step 2-4 for the other playlists If you like to browse artists/albums by ratings, menus for this is provided below the TrackStat menu. When browsing into the Dynamic Playlists menu, you can now see your new playlists and just hit play to play them. -- 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=37411 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
