Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlists 3 - get help with your custom playlists
I gave up on trying to get a copy of a "built in" Dynamic Playlist 3 xml to work. I went back and used the SQLPlaylist option to create a sql.xml file and it works straight away except for only selecting "Max. number of unplayed songs" instead of the whole album. I then replaced the "header" with: Code: -- PlaylistName:AlbumsScore(5) -- PlaylistGroups:Albums -- PlaylistCategory:albums -- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited -- PlaylistTrackOrder:ordered I told LMS to rescan the playlists and tried it again. No change. It still does not select the entire album. If I use SQLPlaylist to edit, then test it does select the entire album, but when I tell it to Save and Play, it goes back to only selecting "Max. number of unplayed songs" instead. Thinking that there might be some conflict with my old Erland plugins and the new Dynamic Playlist 3, I created a new directory called "DynamicPlaylist" and moved these sql.xml files there. I figured that way the old plugins would not be able to find them. Unfortunately, even after adjusting the "Parent folder path for folder with custom dynamic playlist files" setting for Dynamic Playlist 3, it does not seem to be able to find them either. Finally, I tried moving my custom sql.xml files to Config/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/DynamicPlaylists3/Playlists/albums, and finally they work correctly So, there does seem to be some conflict between my old Erland plugins and the new Dynamic Playlist 3. The easiest way to solve it seems to be to have Dynamic Playlist 3 look in a different directory than my default /playlist but changing that setting does not seem to work. jpoet's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20621 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlists 3 - get help with your custom playlists
Hi AF1, I wanted to try and create a Dynamic Playlist which will play unrated sound track albums but I can't seem to get it to work. If I copy "Config/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/DynamicPlayList/Playlists/albums/albums_06_notrated.sql.xml" to "Playlist/soundtrack_albums_notrated.sql.xml", and simply change: > -- PlaylistName:Albums Soundtracks Unrated LMS sees the new dynamic playlist, and I can "Play it", but after asking me to "Choose songs to include", nothing happens. However, if I play the "Albums - not rated" it works perfectly. Since everything is the same except the PlaylistName, I would expect them to behave exactly the same. What step am I missing?

Can you leave it running in the background 24/7 and just "use it" whenever you want, or do you have to start it up each time? Can it be used with the TV off? My SB Receiver recently died, so I am considering options. I have thought about setting up a Pi with a USB DAC, but I have been thinking about getting a Shield anyway, so that combo might be even better.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I created a new SQL Playlist based off of Random songs with predefined minimum rating with user selectable artist One of the options is Play Order. For that I choose By album and song number. However, the sort order is not quite right if the album is made up of multiple discs. For example, I have Victims of the Modern Age by Star One. It is a two disc set. When played using that SQL Playlist, it plays: Disc 1, track 1 Disk 2, track 1 Disk 1, track 2 Disk 2, track 2 When it really should be played: Disk 1, track 1 Disk 1, track 2 ... etc .. Disk 2, track 1 Disk 2, track 2 ... etc ... How hard would it be for you to modify the sorting to take multiple discs into account?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
When I created a SQL Playlist based off of Random albums playlist with possibillity to include/exclude genres I was then able to go into Home Dynamic Playlists, and click on the heart to add it to my favourites. However, when I created a SQL Playlist based off of Random songs with predefined minimum rating with user selectable artist, the heart icon was missing from it's entry in Home Dynamic Playlists, so I was unable to add it to my favourites list. Is there a technical reason why some playlists are candidates for favourites, but others are not?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPeng support thread
I am a brand-new iPeng user. Very nice app -- much easier to use than the controller than came with my duet. It seems to be missing one critical feature, though. How do you bring up track info from the PlayList (under NowPlaying)? Since a tap causes the indicated track to start playing, I tried to press-and-hold, but that does not work either. I actually bring up the track info on my duet controller from the playlist all the time. I often use it when I decide to play the rest of the tracks by an artist or album (when the current playlist is just random songs from a genre, for example).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Custom Browse survey, why do you use it ?
A poll associated with this post was created, to vote and see the results, please visit http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58894 Question: Why do you use Custom Browse ? - I need to be able to browse multiple libraries - I need to be able to browse composers or conductors separately - I need it to be able to filter the contents of albums, artists or genres menus - I need an itermediate A-Z menu before showing artists or albums for a specific letter - I need to be able to browse custom tags - The standard browse menus can't be configured as I like them - I need to be able to browse decades - I need more flexible browse menus to browse classical or jazz music - I use it because it exists but the standard browse menus works good enough - Some other reason I have not really used custom browse at all yet -- I am very new to squeezebox, but I will chime in. I hope this is not too off topic... I have an iPod, but generally use Linux for my operating system. I also have a Macbook. I use flac on Linux, and generally use that as my archive. Squeezecenter also runs on the Linux box. The biggest problem I have run into, is song ratings. Since there is no standard for storing rating information in the tags, each music system implements it's own. Since Songbird is now at version 1, and can be built on virtually any platform, I would like to make it my standard. The trick is then to come up with various ways of importing the Songbird information into the other music system that I use, such as squeezecenter. Best solution would be for the ratings to be stored in the tags. I really don't know why that is not done.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I am a new owner of a Duet. I have iTunes (mp3 mostly) running on my Mac, but my music library (FLAC mostly) and SqueezeCenter lives on a linux box. I exported the iTunes Library, and saved it on the linux box. I then told custom scan to read that Library.xml file. It took a while and I did not receive any errors, but it did not seem to do anything. At least it did not update the rating of any of the songs. Is this not the right way to do this? Did I miss a step? Also, some of the songs on my Linux box are mp3 instead of FLAC. What do I need to put in File extension in SlimServer so it maps mp3-FLAC and mp3-mp3? If I just have .flac in there, will it do the right thing if the SqueezeCenter track is actually a mp3?
