Include means that at least one of the selected tags has the be part
of the file.
Exclude means that it's excluded if any of the selected tags is part
of the file.

To compare with genres, it's the typical Christmas + Pop problem. If
you have tagged a file with both Christmas and Pop and select Pop
as include, you will still get this album. If you select Christmas as
Exclude it means that all christmas music will be excluded independent
which other tags it contains.

Ah, I hadn't thought about multi tag tracks as I seem to only have one
tag per track. I use tagrename which I think only allows one tag, but I
may well have been using it too simply since I got it, quite some years
ago.

More research needed, though it was Christmas music that I have made my
first file for and I had excluded everything except 'Christmas' and
included only Christmas, seems now it's overkill but it works in my
case! 

Thanks again Erland.

All sorted Erland, thanks.

I didn't need permissions, I was just failing to give the full directory
route!

I then moved on to Dynamic Playlist and had one of your example items
modified to suit my needs, up and working in 5 minutes, brilliant.

One question though, why are there tags to include and tags to exclude
sections? Just wondering as if you tick to include why to you need an
exclude?

You have to make sure LMS has write permission to the directory which
have been specified in Library directory parameter in Multi Library
plugin settings page. I don't know exactly how to do this on ODroid, you
will have to check with the Squeezeplug users.

Thanks for this advice Erland, I was about to give up. I've used a lot
of Squeeze players for some years but as you may have guessed I have
never tried to enhance their capabilities before!

So, I think after reading other help posts and then the above I may just
suceed. I hope so as the project is to move all my music to a 500Gb SSD
feeding an Odroid U-3 setup as a LMS.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Multi Library random playback AFTER ibrary is selected?

2014-12-04 Thread Juke

I've been trying to get to grips with this addon for the past few days
but I'm stumped. I have set up four diectories, MP3, Classical,
Christmas and Popular.

The main thing that I'm trying to achieve is a setup where I select one
of these 4 libraries and then select random play (thereby obviously only
playing in a random manner from that particular group of music files).

I just can't seem to make this happen, can anyone confirm if it can be
done please?

It won't work with the standard Random Mix but you can do it if you also
install SQL Playlist/Dynamic Playlist and goto Extras/SQL Playlist and
create a new smart playlist of type Random Songs and specify which
library to restrict it to by setting the Library parameter in the
playlist configuration. The playlist will appear under My Music/Dynamic
Playlists menu.
