I've been using the original Dynamic Playlists + Custom Skip for many
years now. I haven't been on the forums much because everything has just
worked forever, so I didn't realize until over the weekend that
ownership of this plugin had changed.
I'm having two major problems now: The genres I wish to skip are not
being skipped (having comedy albums play in the middle of the night
is...not optimal!) and Never Played Albums is frequently adding only
*partial* albums.
Code:
--------------------
Server information:
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.2 - 1578996832 @ Tue Jan 14 12:16:57 CET
2020
Hostname: WeekendPi
Server IP Address: 192.168.1.167
Server HTTP Port Number: 9000
Operating system: Debian - EN - utf8
Platform Architecture: armv7l-linux
Perl Version: 5.20.2 - arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int
Audio::Scan: 0.95
IO::Socket::SSL: 2.002
Database Version: DBD::SQLite 1.58 (sqlite 3.22.0)
Total Players Recognized: 1
--------------------
Yes, it's an older version. This is a server dedicated solely to playing
Never Played Albums throughout the night. Given that Erland is no longer
able to support the plugins and everything has worked, I have been very
reluctant to upgrade just in case it caused any trouble.
I'm not sure how much of this is relevant, but everything was working
until I:
1. Renamed a LOT of files
2. Scanned for new and changed
3. Saw the above behavior with genres not getting skipped and full
albums not being added
4. Renamed the old databases (NOT including persist) thinking that a
complete rebuild would fix the issue
I've done similar in the past without trouble, but now for the first
time in many years I'm waking up to silence.
I can see on the Plugins page that Dynamic Playlists now lists you (AF)
as the author but Erland still shows as the author of Custom Skip. Is
there potentially a conflict?
Prior to this, I've spent the last several years reliably having
complete albums added to the current playlist without the genres I don't
want. I started the player when I go to bed and stopped it when I get
up. If I woke up in the middle of the night, something would be
playing.
Is it possible that the fact that I'm running an older LMS version is
the problem or should I just revert to the old Erland version of Dynamic
Playlists? I'm tempted to just revert and cross my fingers, not to
criticize your work but simply because this particular server serves one
very specific purpose and I'm not bothered if everything about it is
old.
I am tempted to try your plugin on a newer server, though!
Thank you for any insight you may be able to offer.
