OK, looks like I'm getting somewhere. First, as far as my first problem with the changes not taking effect... never mind. I use the Dynamic Playlists a lot at work with XMMS playing the stream.mp3 on my Linux workstation. I've found that I have to start playing the stream with XMMS or else anything I do in Squeezecenter as far as playing music acts on my squeezebox at home. So even when I say I was starting fresh I had already started playing in XMMS, which picked up from the last thing I was playing, and that in most cases is the Dynamic Playlist. I did some testing and found that if I make adjustments to the includes and excludes first, save the changes, then start playing it works fine.
With the pausing issue, I turned on the suggested debug option and closely watched my system while playing. Every time the music paused mysqld CPU usage would jump to 90+% (as I mentioned before) and just as the music resumed I would see an entry in the squeezecenter server.log like the following: > [08-06-05 16:27:59.5225] > Plugins::SQLPlayList::Plugin::executeSQLForPlaylist (854) Executing and > collecting: select tracks.url from tracks join genre_track on > tracks.id=genre_track.track join genres on genre_track.genre=genres.id > left join dynamicplaylist_history on > tracks.id=dynamicplaylist_history.id where audio=1 and > dynamicplaylist_history.id is null and genres.name in ('Blues','Rock') > and not exists (select * from tracks t2,genre_track,genres where > t2.id=tracks.id and tracks.id=genre_track.track and > genre_track.genre=genres.id and genres.name in > ('Bootleg','Demo','DVD','OfficialBoot','Sessions'))group by tracks.id > order by rand() limit 10; Also, as I mentioned I'm doing this from work a lot of times, so maybe I haven't paid that close of attention before today, but I originally said the pauses happened every 5 songs or so. It is actually happening every 4-5 minutes, so depending on the song timing it happens almost every song, or every other song. -- soxfan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ soxfan's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5697 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48556 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
