With the "Advanced with rating" playlist template in SQL Playlist plugin, you can create a playlist with random tracks with a minimum rating of 4. With the "TrackStat Top rated xxx" playlist templates in the SQL Playlist plugin, you can create a playlist with random 400 top rated tracks without affecting other playlists. I don't think changing the behaviour on the built in "Top rated" playlists available automatically like this would be a good idea. The reason is that some users are going to expect it to play the tracks each rating at the time. Personally I only use the rating values 4 3 and 2, which means that 4 is the good songs, other people might use the ratings differently. So making the default "Top rated" playlist randomly mix about the 2000 tracks that have ratings 4 or 5 might not fit for everyone. In the future, the plan is that it should be easy to create a SQL Playlist based on the TrackStat dynamic playlist, this way you can create your own customized version. But this will not be available in a TrackStat version for SlimServer 6.5.

Or is it just the player interface that freezes ? If the problem is just in the interface I don't think it will be worth doing anything about it, the reason is simply that in this case there will be a freeze, so it's just a matter of when it happens. If the sound stops, this is a problem. Do you have the same problem with the standard Random Mix plugin ? It works perfectly in my own setup, so I think the reason it appears for you is related to the SlimServer hardware, the network performance, library size and playlist complexity. Has this problem been here all the time or has it started in one of the later releases ? If it has started in the later releases, have anything else also changed in your setup or is it just the plugins that have new versions ? -- 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=21790 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
