If this is the case you can do it in two step: 1. Create a new playlist based on one of the "Advanced..." templates that uses the include/exclude genres 2. Create a second playlist using the "Dependent playlist" template that includes the playlist generated in step 1 but excludes all your other playlists. The playlist created in step 2 should get you what you want if I interpret you correctly. teeitup;386616 Wrote: > > If I make a mistake in my SQL query can I damage the database? > Not as long as your playlist start with the word "select". If you create a SQL that uses words like "drop", "delete", "update" or "create" there is always a risk that you destroy something if you don't know what you are doing. teeitup;386616 Wrote: > > What does "Generate order (1-100)" do? > If you select to generate all playlists using the Custom Scan interface, they will be generated in this order. The playlists with a low number will be generated first, the playlists with a high number later. Usually you just want to make sure that playlists that are dependent on other playlists are generated later by entering a high number of these. teeitup;386616 Wrote: > > Are people sharing custom templates?

The main purpose of the download links is to make it easy for me to publish fixes on pre-defined template without making a completely new release of the plugin. teeitup;386616 Wrote: > > When I click on the "Download more playlist templates" link it says I > need a templates directory, where should I put this? > There is a setting in "SqueezeCenter Settings/Plugins/Playlist Generator" where you should specify this directory. It's used when you download templates from Internet. You'll need to create the directory in advance and then specify it here. It can be placed anywhere where the user running the SqueezeCenter software has write access. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) 'My download page' (http://erland.isaksson.info/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/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=58043 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
