The plan is that you create the playlist manually in the SQL Playlist plugin, when you do this you can select between 1-4 attributes that should be used for similarity checks against the seed song. So you can create several seed based "similarity playlists" if you like, for example: - Random songs with similar genre - Random songs with similar genre, style - Random songs with similar genre, style, mood, theme - Random songs with similar artists
The playlist creation UI is pretty simple, basically four listboxes which contains all attributes in the Mixed Tag scanning module data and you can choose how many you like to specify. I have the implementation working in my development setup, so I just need to test the changes a bit since it will require a new release of the Dynamic Playlist and SQL Playlist plugins. -- 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 Database Query 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=38256 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
