Regardless... no worries. > When you create a new playlist with SQL Playlist, there is a parameter called "Playlist group". By default this field is empty which means that the playlist will be shown directly in "Dynamic Playlists", if you set the playlist group to "Top Rated" your playlist will instead be shown in "Dynamic Playlists/Top Rated".

This was one of the reasons I implemented the Custom Skip plugin and the percentage based skipping. The problem I realized on the way was that Custom Skip is good for skipping a few tracks, but if you start to skip a lot of tracks you will get in trouble. The reason you will get in trouble is that it will take a lot longer to retrieve new tracks for a dynamic playlist which results in that the sound from the SB stops for a while in worst case. Now when I think about it this could actually be the case with your sound skipping problem if you have a Custom Skip filter setup that skips a lot of track, is this the case ? To implement a good "More like/Less like" functionality it needs to base the selection on this, so it get the right tracks directly. Currently for example "Random Songs" will get tracks from the whole library and then start skipping most of them to comply with the "More like/Less like" settings (the percentages in Custom Skip). It would work a lot better if the situation was reversed so the "More like/Less like" settings (precentages) were taken into account directly when "Random Songs" retrieved more songs. However, this isn't possible today. I still have this on my wish list, but it can get pretty complicated to do this directly when retrieving the tracks. -- 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
