The basic idea is: - Dynamic Playlist plugin plays either saved playlists by itself or also random mixes if SQL Playlist plugin is installed. - Dynamic Playlist checks each tracks against filters defined in the Custom Skip plugin, if a track matches any filter it is skipped, if it doesn't match it is added to the current playlist. - In the Custom Skip plugin you can setup a filter to skip tracks that have been recently played, or tracks by artists that have been recently played. If you want to do more advanced filtering in Custom Skip based on when a track was last played, you will also need the TrackStat plugin which keeps a history of when a specific track has been played. So it can be done but since the functionality is divided into several plugins and very configurable it is a bit of work to set it up exactly as you want it. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47242 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
