Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Music Similarity DSTM mixer
Hey.
I thought I'd catch up with your latest changes and tried the latest
GitHub version of server and plugin. Update all python modules and
installed 2 new ones.
I don't use Essentia and the only Essentia-related item in the
config.json has always been
Code:
"essentia":{
"enabled":false
},
Creating a similarity mix gives me

Since it mentions essentia (although my config should disable it) I have
to ask: is it no longer possible to use MusicSimilarity just with Musly?

I thought you were using SQLPlayList to get your custom dynamic playlists into DPL - which is no longer necessary/recommended with DPL*3*. What I described was how to use your custom dyn. playlists with DPL3 *without* SQLPlayList. More detailled information on the relation between DPL and SQLPlayList, and on how to create/import your custom dyn. playlists into DPL3 can be found in the FAQ.

You pick a random -work- with rating 80+ but *then* you do want to play this work's movements in *non*-random order, no? That's what the *PlaylistTrackOrder* parameter is for because DPL3 adds extra randomness/shuffling to tracks *unless* you use this line. It's just a way to disable this extra shuffling. As for Multilibraries, what you posted was the -.sql.values.xml- content, just the values that ML parses to create valid SQLite queries. But that's ok. How many Multilibraries do you have? And can you describe the criteria you use to create your Mulltilibraries? Are they basically supposed to filter by genre (Classical or Non-Classical)? I'd be especially interested in your *more complex* Multilibraries. BTW you can see the actual SQLite code of each library in the Multilibraries web UI if you edit them and then at the bottom choose *Customize SQL*, then click *Next*.

In general, every time you change a track's rating *with -Ratings Light-* (web interface, jivelite, CLI...) the track is added to the playlist and/or the log file if you've enabled that in the settings. Both are meant to help you keep track of your rating *actions*, i.e. the tracks whose rating you've changed. They're not a list all of your rated tracks. Personally I use the log file because it is has more (precise) information and I don't need another playlist. The playlist keeps a record of all tracks with -changed- ratings *but* - it will *not add* a track *twice* (ex.: new rating = 40, then rating = 0 ---> track will only show up *only once* in the -playlist- because the playlist shows all tracks whose ratings changed) - and if you *unrate* a track (rating = 0) it will *not* delete this track from the playlist because unrating is a rating change too. Playlist and log file work without any problems here. If you want to keep detailled track of your rating actions I suggest you use the log file. *Plugin repositories:* 'Ratings Light' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight) 'Visual Statistics' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-visualstatistics) 'Use Comment Tag Info' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-usecommenttaginfo) 'Dynamic Playlists 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq) 'Custom Skip 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip#faq) afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113344 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'm quite confident that you will succeed. Don't worry too much about terms and new features. At the core DPL is still just a means to serve you those tracks that you select with your SQLite code/dynamic playlist. Try this: save the SQLite code of your dynamic playlists (just like the examples you posted here) as plain text files, change the file extension to *.sql.xml* and move these files to -DPL's folder for custom dynamic playlists- called *DPL-custom-lists* (default location of that folder: in your LMS playlist folder). Uninstall DPL*2* and install DPL*3*. Maybe uninstall SQLPlayList for the time being. Your custom dynamic playlists should show up now. Your SQLPlayLists playlists and DPL2 preferences will still be there when you uninstall DPL3 and reinstall DPL2 and SQLPlayList. If you want unlimited tracks and *non-random* order replace *-- PlaylistOption Unlimited:1* (from your first example) with these 2 lines: Code: -- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited -- PlaylistTrackOrder:ordered Can you post the SQLite code of your *MultiLibraries* from the MultiLibraries plugin? (not the dynamic playlists) The more the better. That would give me a better idea of whether and how your MultiLibraries can be recreated as virtual libraries. *Plugin repositories:* 'Ratings Light' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight) 'Visual Statistics' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-visualstatistics) 'Use Comment Tag Info' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-usecommenttaginfo) 'Dynamic Playlists 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq) 'Custom Skip 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip#faq) afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115501 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I removed code in DPL3 that was specifically aimed at unsupported plugins - for all the reasons and with all the consquences (e.g. no support) explained in the FAQ. But as long as your SQLite code is valid and the tables you need exists/work there's a good chance it might work with DPL3. DPL3 and DPL2 have different names and preference files so you could temporarily uninstall DPL2 and install DPL3 to test it. Just make sure you read the FAQ parts on -SQLPlayList- too. In your example above --- PlaylistOption Unlimited:1- won't have any effect with DPL*3*. It's --- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited- (see DPL3 wiki on DPL playlist format). PasTim wrote: > I did look at the Virtual Libraries but I failed to understand how I > could get it to work in a similar way to multilibrary. Just out of curiosity: Can you post the code of some of your dynamic playlists (preferably in CODE tags) that involve the -MultiLibrary- plugin? If there's a chance to replace this plugin with native virtual libraries you'd have one less plugin to worry about and make your setup a bit more 'future-proof'. *Plugin repositories:* 'Ratings Light' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight) 'Visual Statistics' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-visualstatistics) 'Use Comment Tag Info' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-usecommenttaginfo) 'Dynamic Playlists 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq) 'Custom Skip 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip#faq) afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115501 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Any help appreciated. I can only test my plugin on macOS and maybe Linux Debian but this is actually the first I've heard of such behavior. Since I don't know what OS and LMS/plugin version you're using I can only guess but permissions seem a likely cause. If LMS works it always has read/write permissions to the folder you selected as your LMS playlist folder. Once installed Ratings Light - in order to avoid clutter - creates a folder in that playlist folder called -RatingsLight- where it stores everything: backups, exported playlists, logs... Creating the folder and changing into it requires 755 permissions. Please check if that folder exists (unless you moved it elsewhere in the RL settings) and if LMS/squeezeboxserver has 755 permissions for that folder. Permissions for files in that folder are 644 as usual. Another thing you could do is to *temporarily* set the -debug level- of the Ratings Light plugin to -debug- (settings > logging). And then try to create a backup or export something. Just don't forget to set it back to -warn- or -error- afterwards or your log will grow very large. Then check the server log for permissions related messages. Good luck. *Plugin repositories:* 'Ratings Light' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight) 'Visual Statistics' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-visualstatistics) 'Use Comment Tag Info' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-usecommenttaginfo) 'Dynamic Playlists 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq) 'Custom Skip 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip#faq) afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113344 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

As a last resort, maybe I can create a macro in MS Word. The EXTURL in m3u playlists should start with -file:///-, even on Windows I think. The (other) file path below is OS specific I think. I've made some adjustements but I can't test them on Windows (no Windows PC or license). So please download and -manually- install the latest GitHub version (2.0.9) (instructions on the GitHub page) and test the *export* and *backup/restore* features. BTW I wouldn't use Word macros. In my experience such programs often add their own control characters which you don't want in playlist files. If you really needed some kind of automated file path rewriting you could try a script (if that's a thing on Windows) or some plain text editor with a regex capable search/replace function. *Plugin repositories:* 'Ratings Light' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight) 'Visual Statistics' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-visualstatistics) 'Use Comment Tag Info' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-usecommenttaginfo) 'Dynamic Playlists 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq) 'Custom Skip 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip#faq) afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113344 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I could have sworn I had some alphabetical sorting (probably in some unreleased version though). It went undetected for so long because I don't use static playlists with DPL3 at all. In general dynamic playlists will always be listed in this order: 1. built-in 2. custom/user-provided 3. provided by other plugins. Within the last 2 groups they should be listed in alphabetical order. *Built-in* dynamic playlists are listed in a '*content-based*' order created by me. For example, I try to group dynamic playlists together that are about ratings, play count or genre/decade selection. This is unlikely to change. Don't forget you can always put your custom -dynamic- playlists in a custom playlist group just by adding the corresponding parameter (see wiki). Static playlists will be ordered alphabetically. I'll update the FAQ. So I've made some changes and uploaded them to the GitHub repo. If you know how to install the latest GitHub version of this plugin (manually) I'd appreciate you taking a look.

A static playlist with about 1500 tracks incl. all Beatles tracks I could find. Then I called the DPL context playlist from above (with year=1967 and the genres of the tracks in the static playlist) - and no problem, 1967, Beatles and all. Reasonably shuffled as well - though if the source is a playlist with albums (compared to your entire library) I would expect groups of tracks from the same album to show up. P.S.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlists 3 - get help with your custom playlists
THIS THREAD IS *EXCLUSIVELY* DEDICATED TO PROVIDING *HELP* WITH SQLITE STATEMENTS FOR USERS WHO WANT TO *CREATE* THEIR OWN *(CUSTOM) DYNAMIC PLAYLISTS*. OF COURSE, YOU CAN ALSO POST YOUR -WORKING- CUSTOM DYNAMIC PLAYLISTS HERE FOR OTHERS TO USE OR AS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION. SO NOBODY HAS TO REINVENT TO WHEEL. ::Before posting I recommend you take a look at the '*dynamic playlists*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists/tree/main/DynamicPlaylists3/Playlists) (incl. context menu playlists) that come with the plugin. They are a good starting point and may help you understand how SQLite works. And please read the '*wiki on the DPL playlist format*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists/wiki/DPL-playlist-format) and the '*FAQ*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq).:: Once you have a working SQLite statement, all you need to do is - open a -plain text- editor of your choice (e.g. -Notepad- on Windows or -BBEdit- on macOS) - paste the dynamic playlist definition (incl. your SQLite statement) - save the file with a *sql.xml* file extension (instead of txt). Example: mycustomplaylistname*.sql.xml* - move this file to the folder for custom playlists called "*DPL-custom-lists*" in the LMS playlists folder (unless you changed its location). Now your dynamic playlist should be listed in the playlist group you chose/created or in the -Not classified- group if it doesn't belong to any group. Very easy. So the challenging part is figuring out the SQLite statement. And that's what this thread is for. I can't promise that I'll have time to answer your requests.

You want the track urls so you start with the tracks table. If you used DPL to select the genre (user input parameter) then DPL would look up the genre ID and therefore all the (built-in) dynamic playlist use the genre_track table (which only matches genre IDs and track IDs). Since you want to use the genre name you'll also need the genre table with the names. No guarantees - here's my version: Code: -- PlaylistName:Jazz-Pop -- PlaylistGroups:Soft -- PlaylistCategory:songs select distinct tracks.url from tracks join genre_track on tracks.id = genre_track.track join genres on genre_track.genre = genres.id and genres.name like '%%Jazz%%' left join dynamicplaylist_history on dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer' where tracks.audio = 1 and tracks.secs >= 'PlaylistTrackMinDuration' and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null group by tracks.id order by random() limit 'PlaylistLimit'; *Plugin repositories:* 'Ratings Light' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight) 'Visual Statistics' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-visualstatistics) 'Use Comment Tag Info' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-usecommenttaginfo) 'Dynamic Playlists 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq) 'Custom Skip 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip#faq) afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Use Comment Tag Info
Do you have some plugin or script that -*automatically*- triggers a database rescan (clear/wipe or only looking for new media?) after *every* LMS restart? If so, why? I only rescan my library (clear/wipe) after I've added new tracks or if the filename of the existing ones has changed. So in short: not very often at all. When LMS restarts there are always some plugins that need to interact with the database when they're initializing and if the database is not available (rescan) there might be problems. So I usually trigger the rescan -manually- and certainly *never* together with a LMS restart. Just take a look at everything automated/scheduled. The usual way to get to the bottom of this would be to disable all plugins (or at least all those that interact with the database and might (b)lock it) and then reenable one by one. It seems that you certainy have a lot more plugins installed/enabled than I have. BTW how many browse menus/virtual libraries, title formats and such do you have defined/enabled in UCTI? *Plugin repositories:* 'Ratings Light' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight) 'Visual Statistics' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-visualstatistics) 'Use Comment Tag Info' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-usecommenttaginfo) 'Dynamic Playlists 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq) 'Custom Skip 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip#faq) afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114968 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

And you don't get any of these messages anymore if you disable this
plugin (UCTI)?
Without knowing more it's hard to say. The first message seems to be a
networking problem ("Connect timed out"...) which may be related to the
unreponsiveness but probably not to UCTI.
The importer related messages are simply saying: some plugin like UCTI
is asking the server if there's an active scanning process but the
server can't get this information at the moment because the "database
handle" is "inactive". That happens if you restart and immediately
trigger a rescan (with the help of some plugin or script), and maybe did
a database wipe before. UCTI only asks for this information
(stillscanning) when it registers title formats or displays track
information (song details page).
So please check the (*timestamps* of the) log messages *_before_* you
restart LMS (with the auto-rescan).
And then do your restart/rescan and check the log messages and their
timestamp again. Do the importer related messages only show up *after*
the restart/rescan? Do you have a plugin/script enabled that triggers a
rescan after *every* restart? (Plugin updates requires restarts as
well.)
Considering that other UCTI users have enabled auto-updating too and
haven't reported such a behavior (unresponsive) I'm not convinced that
UCTI on its own should have such a terrible effect on your LMS. And I
haven't been able to reproduce this so far either.

No, you didn't. What you are witnessing are some effects of the DPL3/CS3
renaming on the SQLPlayList plugin. The SQLPlayList plugin code expects
the old names - which will obviously never come back. That's why I try
to minimize or avoid ties between plugins. Thank you for letting me
know. I'll revise the FAQ notes on SQLPlayList compatibility in the next
days.
BTW the dropdown menu only ever existed in SQLPlayList but you probably
called SQLPlayList from DPL with the -edit- button (which just redirects
you to the SQLPlayList plugin). This redirect has probably led some
users to believe that DPL is involved in *creating* dynamic playlists.
But it -never- has been and -never will-, it just -plays- them.
Unless somebody else starts maintaining the SQPlayList plugin and
makes/keeps it compatible with DPL3 & CS3 this dropdown menu is gone.
The good news is that you can still make DPL use CustomSkip filter sets
by adding a playlist parameter to the SQLite code. Save your playlist in
SQPlayList as -Customized SQL- and on the next screen *before* the
sqlite statement itself, where the playlist parameters are (starting
with --), add the playlist parameter for your customskip filter set as
explained in the '*DPL wiki*'
(https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists/wiki/DPL-playlist-format#general-parameters)
in the paragraph below -Action/CLI parameters-.
And, of course, the renaming opened up the possibility of sticking with
the old versions (2.x). If you need CustomSkip2 you'd have to make a
pull request to the LMS repo ('see Erland's post'
(https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?115073-Announce-Dynamic-Playlists-3-(mod)=1037619=1#post1037619)).

Thanks. -Not classified- in the DPL (home) menu is just a catch-all for all dynamic playlists *without* the --- PlaylistGroups- parameter = all custom dynamic playlists that are not assigned to any playlist group. *You can create custom groups for own playlists*, doesn't matter if you use SQLPlayList to -create- custom playlists or if you write the SQLite code of your dynamic playlists yourself. So if you enter a group name in the "groups" field in SQLPlayList it will add the --- PlaylistGroups- parameter to your SQLite code and your dynamic playlist will be placed in a group folder with that name.

Whether you create your custom dynamic playlist with the help of SQLPlayList or you write it yourself from scratch... just 2 different ways of *creating* a dynamic playlist that DPL should *play*. So DPL does support setting CustomSkip filters but you just have to tell it to do so in your custom dynamic playlist (no matter if you use SQLPlayList or write the code yourself). Check out the FAQs/wikis for more information. Setting a customskip filter set for a dynamic playlist was always -static.- If you use SQLPlayList it just writes the name of the CustomSkip filter set you want to use into the dynamic playlist definition.

Thank you for your opinion. The voice of reason always has a nice ring to it. Download counts suggest that apparently once DPLv3 is removed from the LMS main repo future versions would only reach a small fraction of all previous DPL v3 users which is kind of sad. Adding external repo urls seems to be a lot less common than I'd hoped. So you're right, it'd probably be better if DPL v3 remained part of the LMS main repo. Therefore I've changed the internal plugin name that LMS uses, both for Dynamic Playlists 3 and Custom Skip 3. But even if I add DPL3 or CS3 to the LMS main repo (again) one thing remains: due to some changes in my life I'll have even less time to spend on LMS plugins. I don't know yet what this will mean for these plugins (and others) but we'll see. That was actually the main reason I'd considered removing DPL3 from the main repo. BTW when I did some tests on a *clean* LMS 8.2.1 test system CustomSkip 2.5.83 didn't show up in the list of "unsupported extensions" for me. It's still listed in the main repo xml file though, just didn't show on the settings > plugins page under "unsupported extensions". All of the other plugins did though. Can anybody reproduce this? For testing purposes I've added the versions with the different internal name to this repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AF-1/lms-customskip/main/public.xml I did some preliminary tests but maybe users who know their way around github (RobbH et al.) could confirm that they still work as they should and whether the new versions, once installed, peacefully coexist with the old unsupported versions of DPL and CS in the LMS main repo.

As a compromise I've already announced that I will pull DPL v*3* from the LMS main repo. The last version in the LMS main repo (v3.2.5) contains a message with information for DPL v*3* users. So, of course, the goal is to have as many DPL v*3* users download 3.2.5 so they will know that DPL v*3* is now available from a different repo. Otherwise, they'd be stuck with 3.2.5. As soon as new daily downloads of 3.2.5 have dropped to an insignificant number I will pull DPL v*3* from the LMS main repo for good.

LMS does not import single online tracks or tracks of online playlists as *library* tracks. So if you meant a Spotify list of non-library tracks, then no.

What br@m said.
TrackStat's *track_statistics* table and the default LMS
*tracks_persistent* table basically contain the some information. So if
you're just retrieving -ratings- or stats like -last played, date added-
or -playcount- you can simply query *tracks_persistent*. I don't know
-how- you use TrackStat but seeing that you seem to have another rating
plugin installed (Ratings Light?) you don't necessarily need TrackStat
to set ratings or retrieve ratings/stats.
The website you linked to probably uses DPL v2. With DPLv3 you can use
your custom dynamic playlist definition directly in DPL (without
SQLPlayList), just by putting the file in the DPL custom playlist
folder. SQLPlayList is still a good way to start creating your custom
dynamic playlist but please remember that it can't know '*all DPL v3
playlist parameters*'
(https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists/wiki/DPL-playlist-format#playlist-parameters)
because its last version dates from before DPL v3.

There are other users of DPL v3 who (accidentally?) updated to v3 and who don't quite dislike the new version as much. Readding v3.2.5 with latest fixes and (more importantly) the info message to the LMS main repository for a *limited time* was the only reliable way to make them aware that without adding the new github repo url they won't get future updates. In my experience most users don't spend much time in this forum unless they have to. Most likely many of them would have never noticed that they were cut off from future v3 updates. So as unfortunate as it is for users like you that was the way to go. Thank you for your understanding. To revert to Erland's version you could simply wait until I pull 3.2.5 from the main repo for good (in about 1-2 weeks) and then reinstall Erland's version the usual way. Or if you want a quick and permanent fix you could install Erland's version manually (more about this '*here*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists/tree/7283a5f2c591f7ab1c5461fe8dfb3f9c6fb3428c#reverting-to-dynamicplaylist-v2)).

Add the --- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited- before the sqlite statement
and lose the single quotes (limit 10). Then the *max.* limit is either
2000 tracks ('unlimited') if you don't set a limit in your sqlite
statement or else whatever your limit says. And the number of added
tracks will always be >= the *min.* number of unplayed tracks you set in
your DPL settings.

Maybe I misunderstood or you. To use your example try this: in the web UI home menu, go to CS and create *2 different filter _sets_*. - Leave the *first* filter *set* empty or at least *don't* include a rule to skip "Revolution #9". - In the *second* filter *set* do *enable* filtering for "Revolution #9". - Then on that very same screen (home menu > CustomSkip) *click on the _first_ filter -set-* to make it your *primary/default filter set* (=always on, filtering on all playlists). The name of the active primary filter set should be displayed at the top: *Active filter set:...* Then *in your SQLPlayList playlist* choose the *_second[/_B](!) filter set (that should filter "Revolution #9") and save it. Testing: - add "White Album" to your client playlist ([B]without DPL, no dynamic playlist*) and slowly skip forward to "Revolution #9." and see if it's skipped. It shouldn't be because the primary filter doesn't have a rule for this and the secondary filter set is not enabled. - then start your dynamic playlist that includes the "White Album". Now "Revolution #9." should be skipped - as long as DPL is active - because DPL/SQLPlayList enabled the secondary filter set when you started your dynamic playlist. Make sure all settings apply to the same client because -some CS settings like active primary filter set are client-specific-. BTW when I tested this it didn't filter on -all- playlist (despite the pref setting which might be deprecated, not certain it still has any effect). *Distinguishing between -secondary- and -primary- filter seems more important* to me than this pref setting. Works here, no idea why it doesn't for you. Good luck.

I have good & bad news. The good news is that testing showed that the
revised CustomSkip version 2.5.85 works as expected. The bad news is
that I don't know why it doesn't work for you.
I've created a dynamic playlist with SQLPlayList ('-Random playlist
songs - Random songs from a saved playlist-'), then created a filter set
('-Test-') that skip songs with years equal to or greater than the
selected year. And it works.
To help you find the cause maybe some information on how CustomSkip
works might be useful:
In CS you can choose 1 *active* filter (set) for each client (let's call
it *primary* filter). If global skipping is enabled (as it should be) it
will -always- filter unwanted tracks. I do that for tracks < 90 seconds
and tracks with 'never' in comment tag.
When you choose a CustomSkip filter (set) in -SQLPlayList-, it's a
*secondary* filter. It's enabled when a dynamic playlist is started and
disabled when the dynamic playlist is stopped.
A dynamic playlist is also stopped when DPL can't find any more tracks
to add (matching your search criteria) meaning it will disable the
secondary filter this very moment (I haven't changed that) because DPL
has stopped and is not involved any longer. Therefore no more secondary
filtering even if the current client playlist still has some remaining
tracks to play. And if those remaining tracks include tracks that should
be filtered by the secondary filter, they won't be because DPL has
disabled the secondary filter before exiting.
You can verify if a dynamic playlist is active if you check "Show name
of active playlist in main menu" in DPL settings and then enter the DPL
menu from the home menu. If a dynamic playlist is active it will show
its name on top. But it's -not dynamically updated-, you need to reenter
this menu to verify again after a song change. It wasn't designed for
debugging.
If the criteria for your static saved playlists return too few matches
too soon then secondary filtering will not work great for you I guess.
If you don't want to deal with SQLite and custom dynamic playlists maybe
use constant filtering (primary filter) instead. I've attached a
screenshot of my test setup so you can recreate it.
BTW please note that I've pulled DPLv3+ from the LMS main repo. If you
want to keep using it please follow the instructions on the github page
(adding repo url).
Good news: you can now easily switch back to DPLv2 and CustomSkip 2.5.83
if you want to.
I'm really sorry but that's really all I can do now in my limited time.

Are you using -mysql- or -sqlite?- DPLv3 is sqlite only.
While you still need plugins like TrackStat or RatingsLight for setting
ratings you don't need any plugin at all for retrieving ratings from LMS
directly. If your LMS database is standard sqlite this playlist should
probably work:
Code:
-- PlaylistName:Top rated songs 7 plus
-- PlaylistParameter1:list:Select minimum
rating:0:0,10:1,20:2,30:3,40:4,50:5,60:6,70:7,80:8,90:9,100:10
select distinct tracks.url from tracks
join tracks_persistent on
tracks_persistent.urlmd5 = tracks.urlmd5 and
tracks_persistent.rating >= 'PlaylistParameter1'
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
and tracks.secs >= 'PlaylistTrackMinDuration'
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

nyindieguy wrote:

> understand the relationship between DPL and SQL Playlist.
Just think of DPL as some kind of random play with lots of options for
fine-tuning the selection of the tracks you want to listen to.
DPL uses sql queries to fetch tracks. Before DPL v3 the -source- of
these sql queries had to be other plugins like SQLPlayList, TrackStat,
or CustomScan. DPL asks these plugins if they want to provide any sql
queries (=dynamic playlists) and if so, DPL will list them.
With DPL v3 I've added 2 new options: -built-in- dynamic playlists and
the option to create your own -custom- dynamic playlists and use them
directly in DPLv3, without relying on other plugins.
For dynamic playlists think of SQLPlayList as a sql query generator with
a user interface. It takes your playlist parameter choices and creates a
sql query file (either sql.xml or as a xml template). It assists you in
creating sql queries.
Since DPL and SQLPlayList use the same sql query format you could easily
export most of your SQLPlayLists as customized sql query files and uses
them in DPL directly. That's probably good to bear in mind if
SQLPlayList should ever stop working properly.
So when I talk about using custom dynamic playlists I usually mean
creating custom sql query files and putting them in the DPL custom
playlist folder. It's a very powerful option because you can create
exactly the kind of dynamic playlist you want. And it probably sounds
more difficult than it actually is.

It seems that CustomSkip does not properly skip songs in dynamic
playlists because there's a block of code in CustomSkip that prevents
that. I've uploaded a slighly revised version of CustomSkip to
'*github*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip) that should fix
this.
In your case you would certainly benefit from a custom dynamic playlist
tailored to your specific needs. Below is custom dynamic playlist based
on your screenshot. Open your text editor, copy the sql code below
and save it as "nameofyourchoice*.sql.xml*". The file extension
*.sql.xml* is important. Now put this file into the -DPL custom playlist
folder- (should be in your playlist folder if you haven't changed the
location).
Code:
-- PlaylistName:Random songs from collection - ignore songs in selected
playlist
-- PlaylistParameter1:playlist:Select playlist to ignore:
select distinct tracks.url from tracks
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and tracks.secs >= 'PlaylistTrackMinDuration'
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
and not exists (select * from tracks t2,playlist_track
where
t2.url=tracks.url and
tracks.url =
playlist_track.track and
playlist_track.playlist
!= 'PlaylistParameter1')
and not exists (select * from tracks t3,genre_track,genres
where
t3.id=tracks.id and
tracks.id=genre_track.track and
genre_track.genre=genres.id and
genres.name in
('Alternate
Version','Avantgarde','Baseball','Broadway','Christmas','Comedy','Country','Electronic','Ethnic','Hip
Hop','Jazz','Jazz-Fusion','Live','Novelty','Raga','Soundtrack','Spoken
Word','Standards','Unreleased Rarity'))
group by tracks.url
order by random()
limit 'PlaylistLimit';
This new playlist should now appear in the not-classified group. Adapt
it to your needs (name, excluded genre list).

I'm not sure I understand. Same as in v2 you can't -create- new dynamic
playlists in DPL with the user interface. The only way you can add new
dynamic playlists to DPL (as explained in the beginning) is by adding
sql query files to the DPL custom playlist folder or in other plugins
like SQLPlayLists.

While CustomSkip will work for literally anything else with global skipping enabled there's a code block in CS that relies on the DPL v2 and prevents CS from filtering tracks in DPL mixes. Many of Erland's plugins were in some ways closely 'interlocked'. One of my objectives was to maintain as much backwards compatibility as possible while making these ties optional and non-essential. This way plugins that are deprecated (CustomSkip) and/or will probably stop working properly at some point (SQLPlayList, MultiLibrary) wouldn't break DPL in the future. I'm very sure now you understand that I cannot guarantee that -deprecated- plugins will continue to work completely or indefinitely with new versions of DPL. So the change has to happen in CustomSkip because DPL has moved on. I'll upload a version of CustomSkip to my github repo without the mentioned code block that should work with DPLv3. But *I won't provide -any- support for CustomSkip*. You can either install that version manually or delete the code block in your CS plugin yourself. Or revert to v2. That's it from me. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

With v3.2.1 you have 2 options to achieve this: - I've added a dynamic playlist that plays random songs but ignores all tracks from a selected playlist. You'd have to choose the genres to exclude on the botton of DPL's settings page. That should work. Only downside: these excluded genres will apply to all built-in dynamic playlists. - Or you can create a *custom* dynamic playlist to use in DPL *directly* - _-*without*-_ SQPlayList. For that you'd have to post the sql code here so I can take a look and post my version. To get the sql code: on the screenshot page at the bottom choose the radio button "-Customize SQL-", then press -Save- but *_don't_ press any button on the next page* (save/save) or SQLPlaylist will always show this playlist in sql code. Instead copy the sql query code from the box and post it here in code tags.

In the case of CustomSkip it might still work if the filter set is enabled using the -startaction- playlist parameter. As I wrote on github it's probably best to do as much filtering as possible in the sql code. And if you set CustomSkip to global skipping as suggested it should skip unwanted tracks anyway regardless of what DPL or other plugins do. If you need help with your playlist definition export it from SQLPlayList (as described on the '*github*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists) page) and post your sql code here (incl. what you want to achieve, the playlist parameters you want to use and such). afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

No. It's probably best to use the context menu. In the web UI click the *M* next to the artist of your choice, then click DPL, then next to the dynamic playlist "random songs (for selected artist)" click the *+*. On jivelite players (pCP, SB Touch etc.) you get the context menu with a long touch & hold. For the number of added songs - it's actually the very first setting: -Max. number of unplayed songs-.

Good catch. Added -drop table if exists- to those a couple of playlists where it was still missing. You'd probably only run into this problem if the sql query errors out before the end where the temp. table is dropped. But having it in the beginning is quicker than a LMS restart. > Also, it looks like the results of our own custom queries are still > always randomized. It would be nice to have that become optional. Works already for *album* playlists (incl. custom) that include the PlaylistParameter *-- PlaylistContentType:album* (see built-in dyn. playlists for ref.). Still trying to think of other use cases (besides album), dynamic playlists that don't benefit from shuffling? Even if you choose artist, genre, year, decade, or playlist as a starting point, what's actually added are either tracks or albums. For albums it makes sense (that's why I added the option) and random tracks shouldn't mind additional shuffling I guess. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes and yes. Please wait for DPL 3.2.0. It's already in the github repo and will be released soon (after Material skin 2.7.0 has been released). On the settings page: check -add complete album-, set min. album tracks to 1 (if you want to include 1- and 2-track albums) and select the genres to exclude at the bottom.

Ok, quickly before I have to leave.
#1
While working on DPL 3 I switched very often between 2.10.247 (the last
DPL 2 version) and DPL 3. Erland changed the code in the end so that DPL
would never ask for or require the license manager. And it never did. So
don't know what's going on there. Did you dl the old plugin from the
link on my github page and followed the steps there?
#2
"Albums - never played" means just that. Albums with no tracks in them
that have been played before = the sum of the play counts of all tracks
in an album would be 0. Also in the latest release version 3.1.7 there's
still a minimum track requirement of 3 tracks for albums to be
considered. In the lastest (but not yet released) version on github you
can change this value.
>From what I understand you want -partially- played albums - which is
probably the state of most albums (at least most of mine).
Anyway here's a very quick draft of a playlist that should meet your
parameters. So if you're feeling adventurous (haven't tested it at
all):
Code:
-- PlaylistName:Albums - partially played
-- PlaylistGroups:
create temporary table dynamicplaylist_random_albums as
select partiallyplayed.album as album from
(select distinct tracks.album as album from tracks
join tracks_persistent on
tracks_persistent.urlmd5 = tracks.urlmd5 and
(tracks_persistent.playCount = 0 or tracks_persistent.playCount is null)
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
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
('Spoken','Interview','Comedy'))
group by tracks.album
order by random()
limit 10) as partiallyplayed
order by random()
limit 1;
select distinct tracks.url from tracks
join dynamicplaylist_random_albums on
dynamicplaylist_random_albums.album = tracks.album
join tracks_persistent on
tracks_persistent.urlmd5 = tracks.urlmd5 and
(tracks_persistent.playCount = 0 or tracks_persistent.playCount is null)
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
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
('Spoken','Interview','Comedy'))
group by tracks.id
order by dynamicplaylist_random_albums.album;
drop table dynamicplaylist_random_albums;
Put this code in a (text) file and save it as
-partiallyplayedalbums*.sql.xml*- and then put the file in the DPL
custom playlist folder (if you haven't changed the path it should be in
the LMS playlist folder). It should be listed under -Not classified-.
It will only play *un*played songs of -partially- played albums and
exclude the genres 'Spoken','Interview', and 'Comedy'. You can add more
genres in the 2 lines. I'm not sure if it will add the -entire- album
(did v2 add a complete box of 500 tracks?) because after all DPL is a
lot about dynamic random mixes, very much designed to increase
randomness, in this case getting tracks in small batches and each batch
a new query and therefore possibly new album. Anyway, I really have to
go. Hope this helped a bit.

The only thing that you could configure in CustomSkip's settings (besides the folder path) was whether to limit skipping to DPL playlists or not. Just set it *yes* (= global skipping = not limited to dynamic playlists) and you should be fine. As I said I think most excluding or filtering should probably be done in the dynamic playlists (i.e. the sql queries). But for a static playlist with lots of different single tracks skipping them with CustomSkip is just as good I guess.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
First off, there is actually a section on how to revert to DPL v2.+ and not auto-update to DPL v3+ in the future. Just in case. BTW if you did a *wipe* (=clear) & rescan (not simply scan for new & changed files) -after- you'd renamed your files your database should be ok. And yes, DPL adds "only" a max. of 15 new tracks *by default* but *you can change that number* on the plugin's settings page (up to 50 tracks), it's actually the first setting. Customskip used to be closer tied to DPL but DPL playlists can still enable customskip filters even though the goal would be to filter out unwanted tracks etc. in the SQL queries right away. The built-in DPL lists are just a starting point. The real power of DPL is that you can create tailor-made dynamic playlists (within what SQLite allows) that should give you exactly what you want. And since you can filter/exclude anything unwanted from the very start you won't even need CustomSkip. Since DPL v3+ you can use these user-provided custom dynamic playlists -directly- in DPL, without any other plugin like SQLPlayList or TrackStat. Since this would be a very specific playlist tailored to your personal needs I'd obviously not add it to the built-in playlists. But I could help you create it by posting the sql playlist definition of such a dynamic playlist here so you can test it. But I need to know all the parameters. So it's - an *album* playlist, - never played before: -entire- album never played before or just -containing 1 or more tracks- never played before? - *excluding albums from which genres?* - no min. track duration? - for all albums or only those with a minium number of tracks in it? (thereby excluding "albums" like CD singles with only 2 tracks for example) - in album order or randomly ordered? ... If you want to give this a try please list all the parameters you can think of incl. what CustomSkip would have skipped. Otherwise if you prefer to revert to DPL 2.x please visit the github page for more information on how to do that. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

So who's wrong? Played artists in this context means artists with at least one track whose playcount > 0. I've checked *played artists* with VS SQL and with DPL SQL. Comes up with the same number/percent of played artists here. Please note that this dynamic playlist ignores artists with fewer than 3 tracks. Actually a few of the built-in dynamic playlists have that mimimum requirement, esp. artist and album playlists. So that may be one reason. In my library I have only 6% played artists (because I wiped the persistent database some time ago) and when I play -Artists - never played- it works. BTW DPL should give you feedback if it doesn't find any tracks.

Smaller playlists are less likely to make clients crash or feel sluggish and depending on your dynamic playlist definiton it increases the randomness of the returned tracks. When you say you have *dynamic* playlists with thousands of tracks, do you actually mean *dynamic* playlists (which are basically SQL queries that DPL uses to get tracks) or do you mean *static/saved* playlists (from the LMS playlists home menu)? If you want to add -all- tracks of a *static* playlist -at once- and play them in a random order that's totally possible and probably easier without DPL.

Well, I'd intentionally changed the plugin ID of DPL v3 to prevent auto-updates and let the user decide if they want to update to v3. And I tested it at the time. But I guess LMS somehow decided that if 2 plugins have the same name they're still the same and it should auto-update. I didn't want to change the plugin name though to maintain compatibility with other plugins among other things. Anyway, if you're fine with DPL v3 check the LMS home menu and your plugin folder. If there's only one Dynamic Playlist plugin and it's v3 you should be fine. If for some reason you don't want to update to v3 and stick to DPL v2.x just download the old DPL and put the DynamicPlaylist folder in your local plugin folder. You'll find the path at the bottom of the LMS settings > information page. It's the path that does *not* have *cache* or *server* in it. Then LMS shouldn't auto-update DPL.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Hey Vincent:
I've never used the Dynamic*Mix* plugin nor MusicIP so I'm not sure how
much I can help you here.
I get multiple errors even with the *old* Dynamic Playlists plugin. You
can ignore the commandCallbacks. And the -DynamicPlaylist not active-
message just means that DPL is not playing any dynamic playlist provided
by DynamicMix. The problem seems to be that DynamicMix (not DPL) is not
able to connect to the local MusicIP server (port 10002). I got this
error too (also with the old DPL version) and I don't even run Docker.
DPL basically asks all plugins if they provide dynamic playlists
(getDynamicPlayLists call) and lists them in the DPL home or context
menu. That works otherwise you wouldn't see them. Then when you start a
dynamic playlist DPL asks the plugin that provides the dynamic playlist
to deliver tracks (getNextDynamicPlayListTracks call) and -it's up to
those plugins to send those tracks to DPL-. To maintain compatibility
with older plugins like SQLplayList I didn't change that (SQLplayList
still works).
All that makes me think that problem is somewhere on the MusicIP side.
Since you're on -Linux- you might want to give Craig's MusicIP mixer a
try ('*LMS plugin*' (https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-mipmixer) and
linux '*server*' (https://github.com/CDrummond/musicip)).
Hope that helped at least a little.

If you're running DPL (v2.x) and want to give DPL (v3+) a try you have to uninstall v2.x first and then install v3.x.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] MusicInfoSCR 4.3 - now with theOriginal Boom Booklet Layout
Michael, I'm posting this question here because your plugin includes custom fonts that allow you to use custom charcters on the display of some devices. And since you're the LMS core developer I'm hoping for a final possible/not possible answer. I'd very much like to use the *blackstar unicode 2605 character* with my plugin's default title formats. Unfortunately jivelite's default font FreeSans doesn't include this character. So it won't be displayed on pCP, Touch, Radio or anything else using jivelite unless you install a different font that includes this character (which probably hardly any user will do). If I include a custom font in my plugin that includes this character (I really only need this 1 character) is it possible to display this character on jivelite *without* installing a new font? Or was that only a thing with the older Logitech devices (line display)? Ralphy thinks it's not possible without installing a new font. What's your take on this?

I'm usually hoping for musly to give me similar tracks but also from different sources/albums/artists/genres. It's an interesting way to (re)discover my library. So for a compilation would mean similar tracks but the same source. One suggestion if I may: often it either takes too many clicks (iPeng) or it's impossible (jivelite - pCP, Touch, Radio) to access a plugin's setting page. Therefore I thought maybe you could just register 2 similarity DSTM mixers: 1 without and 1 with enabled genre filtering.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Musly DSTM Mixer (mix by similarity)
Thank you for adding that option. I'm a bit of a serialskipper sometimes. This setting will also help prevent me looping back to the beginning of the playlist when I skip too many tracks before enough new tracks have been added. Even if it wasn't intended to do that :-) And you're right, my hardware is very old (10y+), runs LMS, muslyserver and other stuff, and I have more tracks in my db than you so response times are not snappy, at all. And the machine goes to sleep if not used + the music files are stored on an external HDD (spin-up time). In the end it all works but definitely much more slowly than on modern PCs like yours. But I won't throw it away unless it's really broken. Good news is that I may have 'fixed' my song mix/timeout problem for now. Your Similarity code suggests that you'd planned to make the '*getjsondata timeout value*' (https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-musicsimilarity/blob/master/MusicSimilarity/Plugin.pm#L271) a configurable pref option but maybe forgot to add the UI settings part? A timeout value of 5 secs is probably too low for my paleo setup. So I manually set the timout value to 25 secs in the prefs file. So far it works. Which makes me happy because I'd find it difficult to go back to random mixes once you got used to musly mixes. P.S. No matter what, I like the 'create mix' option. Fast way to start a mix from 1 track or to see what musly thinks is similar without starting a mix (kind of like a dry-run). afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112713 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Musly DSTM Mixer (mix by similarity)
I've been using Similarity a bit more. I like it. Far better than random mixes. Can I just ask about genre filtering: if I create only *one* genre filter group for Classical music genres does this mean that if I start a mix with *no* classical music seed tracks does it mean that this mix will cover *all* genres except classical music? Just asking because while I'd like a classical music mix to feature only classical music I don't want classical music tracks to appear in any other mix. Do you think you could make the number of tracks DSTM adds (default=5) a config option? The DSTM similarity mix uses the similarity score of the last 5 seed tracks (the ones it just added) and therefore it would a kind of 'evolving' mix changing the character of the playlist as it 'evolves'? Compared to always using the similarity score of the original/first seed tracks. If it's evolving then larger batches would mean that the 'character' of the playlist would change more slowly (which can be nice). Or maybe another option to lock the similarity scores to the original seed tracks to keep the character of the playlist? I'm very glad you added the "Create Similarity Mix" context menu item and that it adds 50 tracks at once because the DSTM mixer is not really working for me right now. Plugins::MusicSimilarity::Plugin::__ANON__ (176) Failed to fetch URL: Timed out waiting for data Plugins::MusicSimilarity::Plugin::_mixFailed (202) Return empty list The first batch is usually added without problems but when the second batch is supposed to be added (last but one song started) it seems DSTM or Similarity times out before musly server has returned the results and DSTM adds the 'song mix'. The muslyserver python process is still busy when DSTM adds the song mix. At first I thought it was related to my setup: I often use a touchscreen piCorePlayer (without Squeezelite running) to control other clients - like a Boom in this case. Do you know how to fix this? Or this someting that can only be addressed in the DSTM plugin? (didn't find any timeout option in DSTM though) Thank you. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112713 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Is that the intended behaviour? Yes, that's by design. It helps me transfer changed track ratings from other software to LMS. In this case it's needed because otherwise LMS would still show tracks as rated that I unrated somewhere else. I might include an option (disabled by default though) in the next version so tracks without comment tag keywords won't be unrated while new and changed track ratings will still be imported.

Or am I mistaken? It's possible, just not as simple as one button click. Is this supposed to be a one-time import or are you thinking of keeping ratings in sync between 2 or more audio server systems? One straightforward way for a -one-time import- would be to - create 5 playlists (1-5 stars) with your rated tracks in that other music software and export them as m3u/m3u8-playlists, - import these playists into LMS (settings > basic > rescan > only playlists), - use RL to assign a rating value to the tracks in those playlists. What I do to keep my ratings in sync between iTunes and LMS is to keep them (together with a keyword) stored in the music files' comment tag so they can travel with the files. RL can pick up rating values from comment tags and import them into LMS. If I rate tracks in LMS RL has an option to export playlists with just those new/changed ratings so I can easily set them in iTunes. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113344 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It's a different approach.
What I had in mind was: do post-scan refresh unless post-scan refresh
already happened in the last 30 seconds. Users can see the results of
the refresh/import very quickly and won't get confused or think the
ratings import failed. ('code'
(https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight/blob/main/RatingsLight/Plugin.pm#L1259))
I like the timer solution because it's safe: however many calls happen
within any subsequent 30 secs window it will only take the last one.
Only downside is the final delay of 30 seconds + execution time before
the refresh results are available to the users.
Hard to choose.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'd already disabled *all* plugins (not
only 3rd party plugins) and deleted all databases and caches known to me
at some point.
So the only plugin enabled is my Test Plugin that gives me the debug
messages for rescan done events:
Code:
package Plugins::TestPlugin::Plugin;
use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use base qw(Slim::Plugin::Base);
use Slim::Utils::Log;
my $log = Slim::Utils::Log->addLogCategory({
'category' => 'plugin.testplugin',
'defaultLevel' => 'DEBUG',
'description' => 'Test Plugin',
});
sub initPlugin {
my $class = shift;
Slim::Control::Request::subscribe(\,[['rescan'],['done']]);
$class->SUPER::initPlugin(@_);
}
sub testcallback {
$log->debug("\n\n** TEST CALLBACK INIT **\n\n");
}
1;
And whatever I do the callback function is *always called twice* on my
system. I even talked a not very happy friend into installing LMS and
softsqueeze on his old Windows7 laptop with only this test plugin
enabled and he gets 2 messages as well.
Ordinary install.xml be like
Code:
af1----
Test Plugin
Plugins::TestPlugin::Plugin
0.0.1
some desc
AF
enabled
Logitech Media Server
7.9
*
I really don't know where else to look. Are there any other settings
that could cause this? If I only knew what to look for...

I've disabled/removed all of my import/scanner code and I still get *2* rescan done events after every rescan. Can you confirm that *2* events for rescan done is normal or can get I get it down to one? And if not, how would I make sure my callback function is only called *once*?

And I did it anyway. :-) If I could ask one thing in some future update it would be -debug log markers- that tell me (maybe every 1000 tracks or so) about the progress of those steps that take time / loop through the library.

Thank you for letting me know (was using the default 1000). Do you know how many tracks that bug affects? Anyway, I've been quite pleased with Musly so far. Even if there's an odd one every now it's not completely off. I really appreciate this new way to listen to my local music. Just one question: I remember Roland0 saying that *starting* the Musly server (*without* a jukebox file) can take quite some time. And it certainly does on my old hardware! So in order to avoid this long startup could I *delete the jukebox _while_Musly_is_still_running_*? Would the jukebox be recreated on demand in this case or is it necessary to restart Musly server without a jukebox file for it to be rcecreated?

Yes, the callback (= the function *'importerPostScanRefresh' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight/blob/main/RatingsLight/Plugin.pm#L1268)*) for the *'rescan done event' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight/blob/main/RatingsLight/Plugin.pm#L89)* is triggered twice. Seems to receive 2 rescan done events?? BTW do I need a *'shutdownplugin' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight/blob/main/RatingsLight/Importer.pm#L42)* in importer.pm as well?

I totally forgot about install.xml :-o So I've moved the importer code into a separate 'importer.pm' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight/blob/main/RatingsLight/Importer.pm). After the import I used to refresh my virtual libraries and title formats and clear the display cache. It seems that this is not something I can do or kick off in the importer.pm. Those scanner limitations you mentioned, maybe? So I thought maybe I need to subscribe to "rescan" "done" in plugin.pm and handle it there. But it turns out the *refresh function tied to rescan done is called _twice_* after a scan. Do I need to limit this to one refresh with a variable (0/1)? Or is there another way? And do you have any more examples of what should be moved into separate pms? afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113344 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Ratings Light
Ok, I have no problem with a separate scanner.pm, even if it's only for
calling one subfunction. It would certainly be nice if Windows users get
no more errors. And then all the reasons you mentioned.
Hope you can help me with some questions:
on macOS I just successfully ran something like this:
PLUGIN.PM
Code:
use Plugins::RatingsLight::Scanner;
...
sub initPlugin {
my $class = shift;
return if $initialised;
$class->SUPER::initPlugin(@_);
Slim::Music::Import->addImporter('Plugins::RatingsLight::Scanner', {
'type' => 'post',
'weight' => 99,
'use' => 1,
});
initPrefs();
initIR();
...
And then the *scanner.pm* basically gets the startScan and the import
function:
Code:
sub startScan {
my $enableautoscan = $prefs->get('autoscan');
if (defined $enableautoscan) {
importRatingsFromCommentTags();
}
Slim::Music::Import->endImporter(__PACKAGE__);
}
importRatingsFromCommentTags{...}
But the scanner still calls InitIR() from the plugin.pm initPlugin
function which includes stuff the scanner can't deal with. That makes me
think it would still give the same error on Windows.
How do I tell the LMS scanner to just use the scanner.pm and that it
should ignore the contents of *plugin.pm* otherwise that's causing the
(Windows) problems?
Or is it the addImporter part? Do I have to move to scanner.pm too or
use something else entirely?
Thank you.
