..may I jump in here?

Hello everybody.
I am new here.
Thank you all very much for 3rd party plugins …I am discovering some
amazing stuff.

Erland thanks a lot for SQL Playlist !!! 
…one of best nerd-pluggies here, especially if you dig into sql-code  
:)
I already built a few very simple “SQL playlists” – work fine!!

But I got a problem on one, which I thought should actually be easy:

I want to rebuild this very simple dynamic playlist from foobar:
Performer HAS ctop 

In foobar I use variable “performer” as flag-variable, to create
dynamic playlist for my “current top” tracks (‘ctop’) – every current
favourite tune gets this ‘ctop’ flag  …don’t use  “performer” otherwise
(yes, it’s a misuse of this variable, but I am not that eager, to create
new tag-variables)

I guess solution to get this from Squeezebox database has something to
do with table Contributor …but which variable?

I tried this below ..well, test was successful regarding the code
syntax …but no results either?? so must be something wrong.


-- PlaylistName:CURRENT TOPS!!! (flag in performer)
-- PlaylistGroups:
select tracks.url from tracks
join contributor_track on
                tracks.id=contributor_track.track 
-- and contributor_track.role in (3)
        join contributors on
                contributor_track.track=contributors.id
        left join dynamicplaylist_history on
                tracks.id=dynamicplaylist_history.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
        where
                audio=1
                and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
                and contributors.name like 'ctop'
        group by tracks.id
        order by rand()
        limit 20;


Can anybody help me on this, please? …it should be very easy, shouldn’t
it?!  :-/
Cheers.

PS. …I am not an huge SQL expert, …just copying.
but my biggest problem is that I don’t understand / don’t know the
database structure (I know there is a wiki, but it seems to be
incomplete)
