Maybe I misunderstood or you. To use your example try this: in the web UI home menu, go to CS and create *2 different filter _sets_*. - Leave the *first* filter *set* empty or at least *don't* include a rule to skip "Revolution #9". - In the *second* filter *set* do *enable* filtering for "Revolution #9". - Then on that very same screen (home menu > CustomSkip) *click on the _first_ filter -set-* to make it your *primary/default filter set* (=always on, filtering on all playlists). The name of the active primary filter set should be displayed at the top: *Active filter set:...* Then *in your SQLPlayList playlist* choose the *_second[/_B](!) filter set (that should filter "Revolution #9") and save it. Testing: - add "White Album" to your client playlist ([B]without DPL, no dynamic playlist*) and slowly skip forward to "Revolution #9." and see if it's skipped. It shouldn't be because the primary filter doesn't have a rule for this and the secondary filter set is not enabled. - then start your dynamic playlist that includes the "White Album". Now "Revolution #9." should be skipped - as long as DPL is active - because DPL/SQLPlayList enabled the secondary filter set when you started your dynamic playlist. Make sure all settings apply to the same client because -some CS settings like active primary filter set are client-specific-. BTW when I tested this it didn't filter on -all- playlist (despite the pref setting which might be deprecated, not certain it still has any effect). *Distinguishing between -secondary- and -primary- filter seems more important* to me than this pref setting. Works here, no idea why it doesn't for you. Good luck.
