As an example, if you create a new playlist of the playlist type "Top rated for genre" in the SQL Playlist plugin you should get a mixer on genres.
The same thing also applies to the other type of objects, like artist, album, genre and year. Dynamic Playlist mixers on tracks aren't supported in the current version, but they will be in the next. You will then be able to launch a playlist with a seed track. The "Random for similar artist" playlist comes as a built in playlist if you have the Custom Scan plugin installed and have used the LastFM scanning module. -- 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=38603 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
