It's possible that my literal mind didn't want to input a fictitious value even though obviously that wouldn't have hurt anything. I REALLY like your idea about adding date logic, though.

I didn't see it add any odd tracks and what's out there right now waiting for me to go to bed tonight is the remains of a large single album. So it looks like it's back to working the way it did before, which is also perfect for what I need. Thank you!

I can no longer remember the exact details, but when the new DPL3 came along I was getting the impression that already-played albums were playing again. Pre-retirement, my primary job function was in a billing audit center writing code to catch weird little exceptions. So I looked into the old DPL tables as well as the regular LMS ones and discovered discrepancies between last played dates and whether the track had been played at all. I have no idea how it happened, but I figured that making my query check both last played and the play count would ultimately get me where I want to go.

For now, I'm pretty happy with how it's working.

I hadn't previously found that to be the case, possibly because my SQL (which I think was adapted from code you supplied) includes "and not exists" to weed out any tracks in GENRE_TRACK that have an unwanted genre. But obviously other stuff goes on behind the scenes, so maybe I've just been lucky so far. That aside, at least some of the unwanted tracks I've been getting really do have only one genre.

Honestly, I can live with the large playlist as long as it reliably adds only complete albums (or at least complete albums minus the tracks with excluded genres). I forgot to mention in my initial post that I brought it up only because I'm pretty sure this is a new behavior. I think I originally had "-- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited" in there because without it was not adding complete albums if the number of tracks was larger than whatever max was set elsewhere.

If you use "-- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited", there's (almost) no limit (i.e. 2000 tracks). Here's what you could do: If you remove that line, DPL3 will use "Max Number of Unplayed Songs". Or you add "-- PlaylistLimitOption:50" and limit 50 at the very end manually. Either way, that should get rid of the huge playlist issue. In addition I think there's a bug in DPL3. I'll take a look and release an update as soon as I have the time. The genre thing might require more time to investigate though. Don't have much spare time right now but I'll deal with it as soon as I can.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlists 3 - get help with your custom playlists
My DP3 (version 3.6.7) seems to have gone a bit crazy lately. It's
running on a combined player/server that literally only EVER gets turned
on and off, that is, I turn it off when I get up in the morning and turn
it back on when I go to bed at night. I've been using this SQL:
Code:

Originally it worked exactly as intended, but recently it's begun
ignoring the genres I *don't* want, so I'll wake up in the middle of the
night to find it playing an audiobook (just for one example). It's been
happening rarely enough that I've just been living with it (and maybe I
did something wrong with the code?), but as of last night there's a new
level of weirdness:
1. I just want full albums, but during the night it started adding
tracks. Below is a sample of What Was That Tune? from last night:
38758
2. Additionally, though I have Max Number of Unplayed Songs set to 50,
Min Number of Unplayed Songs set to 4 and Number of Played Tracks to
Keep set to 100, I just noticed that my current playlist is enormous: 18

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?

You're right. DPL asks for playlist parameter input when you start a
dynamic playlist and the parameters don't know about each other.
For your use case I recommend this: DPL does actually check if there's
an *active library view/virtual library set for the player* that's
starting the dynamic playlist (it's client-specific).
So set the virtual library with all your classical music as the active
library view/virtual library for your player and then adapt your dynamic
playlist or maybe try this one:
Code:
-- PlaylistName:Rated songs in classical genre
-- PlaylistGroups:Random/For selected
-- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited
-- PlaylistParameter1:multiplegenres:Select genres:
select tracks.url from tracks
join library_track on
library_track.track = tracks.id and library_track.library =
'PlaylistCurrentVirtualLibraryForClient'
join genre_track on
genre_track.track = tracks.id and genre_track.genre in
('PlaylistParameter1')
join tracks_persistent on
tracks_persistent.urlmd5 = tracks.urlmd5
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
tracks.id=dynamicplaylist_history.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
audio=1
and tracks_persistent.rating>=70
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
group by tracks.id
order by random()
limit 100;
Please note that this dynamic playlist will not work if you haven't set
a library view/virtual library for your player.
Your own playlist example calls random() 2 times. No need: just lose the
-PlaylistTrackOrder- parameter (that's for when you don't want any
randomization at all: listening to complete albums, movements...) and
DPL will add extra randomization.

So I don't know how exactly you use your virtual libraries table with
CustomBrowse. But since you're obviously comfortable with SQLite I
remembered that I once had a small plugin that used custom SQLite
definitions to create virtual libraries. It kind of was the predecessor
of the more specific UseCommentTagInfo plugin. I've found a copy of
'*SQLiteVirtualLibraries*'
(https://github.com/AF-1/lms-sqlitevirtuallibraries) in my backups and
uploaded it to GitHub. Maybe check it out to see if it's of any interest
to you.

I just populate it using SQL, copying the numbers from the library prefs. That way, if I have have to start again from scratch, and the codes change, it's easy for me to just change the one table entries rather than edit all my menus. I use it mainly to split Classical music (with an array of essential additional tags required to select and play it properly) from other types of music, and intend to maybe do a bit more once I'm happy I've got it working for all my main purposes. I used to be a programmer, but my coding days are mostly long gone. It would take me forever to find out how to create a plugin for LMS, let alone get access to the prefs table directly, and somehow use that in my Custom Browse menus. Using just SQL is simpler, and, I hope, more reliable long term in terms of compatibilty. > I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do here.

Simply select a subset of items at the start of a DPL menu, where the subset belongs to a partiocular library, so: Code: -- PlaylistName:Rated songs in classical genre -- PlaylistGroups:Random/For selected -- PlaylistTrackOrder:ordered -- PlaylistLimitOption:unlimited -- PlaylistVirtualLibraryName1:Classical -- PlaylistParameter1:customgenre:Select genre:select id,name,substr(namesort,1,1) from genres join library_libraries on library_genre.library=library_libraries.library and library_libraries.library_name='Classical' join library_genre on genres.id=library_genre.genre order by genres.namesort select url from (select tracks.url from tracks join library_track on library_track.track = tracks.id and library_track.library = 'PlaylistVirtualLibraryName1' join genre_track on tracks.id=genre_track.track and genre_track.genre='PlaylistParameter1' join track_statistics on tracks.url=track_statistics.url left join dynamicplaylist_history on tracks.id=dynamicplaylist_history.id and dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer' where audio=1 and track_statistics.rating>=70 and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null group by tracks.id order by random() limit 100) as rated order by random(); I can 't use PlaylistVirtualLibraryName1 in the initial genre selection, so I had to use my new table to do it instead.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlists 3 - get help with your custom playlists
Hi afriend. I have managed to create a library view setup for my music, which matches my old multilibraries setup. To get it to work well with my own normal menus I had to create an additional table which maps the 8 character code for the library to the name of the library (as defined in the prefs file). That works, so far so good. In some of my DPLs this also works well, using the PlaylistVirtualLibraryName1 parameter in my sql, rather than my own extra table. However, if I want to select a subset at run-time, say for a set of genres in that library, defining a PlaylistParameter1, this doesn't seem to work with a PlaylistVirtualLibraryName1 defined previously, presumably because the definitions aren't all available to the other definitions until the main select starts.

That would be a much bigger change for me, including almost all my menus. I only use it to separate classical from the rest, since I use different tagging and playing rules. Further, without customscan to get my classical and other tags, multilibrary wouldn't help me much.

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?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Dynamic Playlists 3 - get help with your custom playlists
With apologies for being a bit slow. I have a long standing LMS system, buit I don't quite get what the new DPL vs old DPL issues are. I've read the FAQ and everything else I could find, but I don't really understand what impact the new version will have on the dynamic play lists I already have. These make extensive use of the database entries created by custom scan and multilibrary. My use of LMS depends almost completely on those database tables. I play almost exclusively classical music, and 'works', so I have to use custom scan and browse, and multilibrary. 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. I have several dozen queries that depend on the multilibrary database. I don't understand what is meant by 'removes ties to other (unsupported) plugins'. I see that it says that it may work with such plugins, but I'm not sure what it means by 'ties'. As an example dynamic sql (I have about 20), this one selects random classical works (a series of movements/tracks) where one movement has a top 'rating' of 90 or more. Will the new DPL at least initially still work with this? Will it only fail if multilibrary or customscan fail to create the database tables, or is there some deeper 'tie' that could cause problems? -- PlaylistName:Random Classical Top Rated Works -- PlaylistGroups:Random -- PlaylistOption Unlimited:1 create temporary table sqlplaylist_random_work as select customscan_track_attributes.value as work, tracks.album as album from customscan_track_attributes join tracks on customscan_track_attributes.track = tracks.id left join dynamicplaylist_history on tracks.id=dynamicplaylist_history.id and dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer' join track_statistics on tracks.url=track_statistics.url and track_statistics.rating > 89 where customscan_track_attributes.module='customtag' and customscan_track_attributes.attr='WORK' and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null and audio=1 group by customscan_track_attributes.value, tracks.album order by random() limit 10; select tracks.url from tracks join customscan_track_attributes on tracks.id = customscan_track_attributes.track join sqlplaylist_random_work on tracks.album = sqlplaylist_random_work.album where sqlplaylist_random_work.work = customscan_track_attributes.value and customscan_track_attributes.module='customtag' and customscan_track_attributes.attr='WORK' and audio=1 group by tracks.id order by tracks.album,tracks.disc,tracks.tracknum; drop table sqlplaylist_random_work; LMS 8.1 on PC, Xubuntu 20.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. 2 Touches & EDO.

I tried these out and it appears that there is either a flaw in the code
or a bug in the plugin.
With the "multiple genres/select decade" playlist, it selected only 9
songs in spite of there being hundreds that would have qualified. All of
the 9 songs were from 1960, in spite of having selected that entire
decade of the '60s. When I tried a second time, the exact same 8 songs
came up.
With the "multiple genres/select year" playlist, the songs seemed like
they were correct, though not as shuffled as I might have wanted, but
ended after several hours of play, when there should have been enough
songs to last all day. The big tipoff was no Beatles included when Rock
and Roll was one of the selected genres and 1967 was the selected year.
Any thoughts?

[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. Fortunately, there are other users who I know will help you as well. *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
