[SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Hi. I've uploaded my modified version of *Dynamic Playlists* to github. Based on Erland's original plugin but not maintained by him. If you're interested please visit the '*github page*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists) for more information (latest description, changes, installation, notes...). If you're running DPL (v2.x) and want to give DPL (v3+) a try you have to uninstall v2.x first and then install v3.x. Sorry for the inconvenience but that's by design to prevent unintentional automatic updates. Please report bugs *only here* (including relevant server log entries and the version number of LMS and your OS). Thank you. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

That shouldn't happen. And it doesn't on my test system. Once a track has been given a 1 star rating, it should no longer appear in tracks that are -subsequently- added or when you restart the dynamic playlist. DPL3 puts a query to the LMS database to get all tracks rated x stars and then plays the results. The SQLite statement is pretty simple so there's little room for errors there. Maybe check if the track was properly rated as 1 star using the track's context menu afterwards. And then there might be database inconsistencies (2 entries for 1 track, maybe mp3 tag related...). Anyway, I can't reproduce that here. Sorry. If you find conclusive evidence that it's a DPL bug, please post a bug report on Github.

Thank you. yes, no :-) your plugin is great and i've discovered your recommendation already (choose min rating) from above. I've also modified the rating numbers (5 max eg 100) but i've still have some odd situations, perhaps it is caused by my "erland plugin life" since the beginning:-) I'll try to explain, because honestly i'm lost 1.) sql "choose max rating list" from DPL3 is working (partly) 2.) i can rate songs with rating lights enabled via material skin (bottom right stars) and context menu right click so "should" work what i get big issues: - even though i select a song, which comes up after 1.) but shouldn't because != 5 Star and i decrease the rating half star or even "unrated" via right click context menu, THIS DAMN SONG IS COMING BACK EVERY TIME - even though i rate a song with top 5 star rating with Material skin buttom right, or context menu, THIS DAMN SONG never appears with 1.) small issue - only about 15 songs are listed (with play all /add all from DPL3) even though i have much more top rated songs. is this by design, or a limitation, which i have to configure? ...as you are the guy providing such great plugins, to step into the gap which has been there since erland left the party, i'm just asking for hints here. my (end user) assumption. - could be because of rescan? - i have never DELETED the db cache files (helped earlier back in time) after switching to DPL3 - i had used erlands plugins (trackstat and dynamic playlist) and still use: - custom browse - custom scan - database query but NO unsupported plugins i have no clear picture of the issue and no clear log errors, what do you think? i'm just unsure if i can disable some of my plugins for testing, because of fear to break my environment which was build over several years.. what would you do?

We have: - rating action - display of ratings (in Material) - dynamic playlist You'll have to deal with these in that order. Unless you've confirmed that the rating was properly committed to the LMS database and eliminated this as a possible cause, you won't get any closer to finding a solution. ## *RATINGS* ## # *SETTING* TRACK RATINGS Let's first, once and for all, check if ratings are properly committed to your LMS database: - stop all playback - take a track you've -never- rated before, rate it 5 stars using Material Skin. Then go to the *default LMS skin*, *not* Material and click through to the *song info* view for this track. You should have *2* rating values there: one provided by Ratings Light (5 stars) and another one (further below) displaying the raw LMS database value (100). Does they have the new track rating (5 stars and 100 respectively)? - Then decrease the rating for this very *same* song to *1* star using Material. Then go to the *default LMS skin*, *not* Material and click through to the *song info* view for this track. You should have *2* rating values there: one by Ratings Light (1 star) and another one (further below) displaying the raw LMS database value (20). Does you see the *new* track rating (1 star and 20 respectively)? NOW, CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT THESE RATING WERE PROPERLY WRITTEN TO THE LMS DATABASE, AFTER EACH RATING CHANGE? If not, repeat the whole process but this time use the *LMS default skin[B], not Material to set the track rating (use a different track). # [B]DISPLAY* OF RATINGS First, it may take a short moment before the new rating is displayed in Material or the LMS default skin because the client display caches are emptied and updated on all clients. And the LMS default skin only refreshes every 5(?) seconds or so. Material uses Ratings Light only to commit rating values to the LMS database (unless that's changed and Material uses its own logic for setting ratings now). Material gets rating values directly from LMS. And the UI / display of ratings (except the Ratings Light context menu item) is handled by Material. But AFAIC no problems there. ## *DPL* ## I'm a bit confused here. Where did you find the "choose *max.* rating list"? I don't think there's a built-in dynamic playlist with that name. Maybe post the *complete* name. I only see "Songs - RATED (choose *minimum* rating)" and "Songs - RATED (choose *exact* rating)". Or is it a *custom* dynamic playlist that you've created? If so, did you use -Dynamic Playlist Creator- to create it or did you write the SQLite code yourself? In that case, you'd have to *post the sqlite code here* so I know what we're talking about. mamema wrote: > small issue > - only about 15 songs are listed (with play all /add all from DPL3) even > though i have much more top rated songs. > is this by design, or a limitation, which i have to configure? > 15 is the -default- max. number of *un*played tracks that DPL3 will *add* if you start a dynamic playlist, *not* the total number of tracks matching your parameters. You can change that in the DPL3 settings. See description of that preference in DPL3 settings. The idea of DPL3 is not to add *all* tracks that match your parameters *at once* but to add them in *batches* (batch size determined by the "number of unplayed songs" setting). See GitHub and FAQ for details. What if you had 12000 tracks matching your parameters? With a playlist of that size you'd run into problems sooner or later - performance on less capable players etc. mamema wrote: > > - could be because of rescan? > - i have never DELETED the db cache files (helped earlier back in > time) after switching to DPL3 > - i had used erlands plugins (trackstat and dynamic playlist) and still > use: > - custom browse > - custom scan > - database query > > but NO unsupported plugins > > i have no clear picture of the issue and no clear log errors, what do > you think? > > i'm just unsure if i can disable some of my plugins for testing, or > delete db files physically because of fear to break my environment which > was build over several years.. - A *delete*/wipe rescan usually *solves* problems. It shouldn't create major issues. Have you done a delete/wipe rescan recently? - The db cache files shouldn't matter. They're only used by the plugins who created them. And if you've uninstalled them, there's no harm in keeping them if you wanted to go back to Erland's plugin. Same for preference files. - Unless someone's taken over, I think CustomBrowse and CustomScan are *un*supported. Just to be clear: you

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
I'm having an issue with DPL that has been happening intermittently going all the way back to when I was using Erland's original version. I set up the parameters of DPL and hit play, and the playlist just plays the first 15 songs and then stops. If I start again with the same parameters, it keeps playing beyond the first 15 songs and lasts pretty much forever (big collection). This behavior doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough that I always have to monitor closely until I get beyond 15 songs, and if it does, I know I can leave it alone to keep playing. It doesn't seem to matter what playlist I use or what parameters I use. I happens with the built-in DPL3 playlists as well as the ones I created with SQL Playlist. Any thoughts about what might cause such behavior? Much appreciated, as usual. nyindieguy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62092 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
First: I have the feeling, you as the dev deserves good base data, so you are able to differentiate between "noise" of a end user and an issue You've mentioned "deal with rating action" - i have (since a long time) these in the logs: [22-10-11 20:14:55.6204] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1325) Warning: [20:14:55.6202] SQLPlayList: Error getting current playlist from DynamicPlayList plugin: Undefined subroutine &Plugins::DynamicPlayList::Plugin::getCurrentPlayList called at /config/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SQLPlayList/Plugin.pm line 377. and these [22-10-11 20:15:37.2508] Slim::Player::Playlist::song (56) The use of Slim::Player::Playlist::song() is deprecated, use Slim::Player::Playlist::track() instead of course i use several automated tag solutions from several sources like discogs, musicbrainz etc. and write to the tag information of the flac file itself because of that, i also use CustomScan from erland, to get MORE out of this tagging. I have these [22-10-12 01:03:55.6060] Plugins::CustomScan::Scanner::fullRescan (710) Starting scanning with Rating Tag what i also have is this [22-10-18 01:09:17.7669] Plugins::CustomScan::Scanner::initTrackScan (1338) Clearing track data for ratingtag So honestly, i do not know, if the customscan plugin is interfering with your plugin on the db side .but, those ratings are done from "John Doe" or "Mr. Smith". After discovering DPL3, i just want to rely on my own tagging with DPL3 and Ratings Light. I'm just not there yet. ...but also i have those messages in the logs "Rating 3.5 is invalid" or such, which is in the logs since years, which i've read about (from Michael Herger?) he said something along the lines: don't care. Perhaps it's discogs stuff which "I DON'T CARE" if the above explanations are "just shut up - user stuff", ignore it Second: your "do this" explanations 1.) RATINGS - use never rated song, rate via material, no playpack, check via default skin Validation: rated in Material 5 Star - Default Skin outcome: LMS 100, and (end user unclear) a 5 star (shown as stars), is this Ratings Light? VERY INTERESTING - I WANT TO STOP HERE AND DISCUSS FIRST!!! another song, also flac, never rated, i've rated with 5 stars in Material, IT EVEN DOESN'T STICK in Material, even though it shows the "end user message" "*" at the top of material after rating. Of course i've ckecked default skin afterwards, nothing there Huuh! THAT!

Any thoughts about what might > cause such behavior? Sounds like a corner case. Assuming you're using the default preference values for *max.* number of *un*played songs (15) and *min.* number of *un*played songs (5), set the *log level* for DPL3 to *Info*. The next time when it stops too soon, check the log for relevant messages. If that doesn't give you anything conclusive, set the log level of DPL3 to *Debug*. Then check again when it stops too soon. Without meaningful log messages, it's impossible to tell why this is happening. But please don't post -huge- logs here (use the CODE tags), only the messages from immediately before it happened (see timestamps). mamema wrote: > [22-10-11 20:14:55.6204] Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1325) Warning: > [20:14:55.6202] SQLPlayList: Error getting current playlist from > DynamicPlayList plugin: Undefined subroutine > &Plugins::DynamicPlayList::Plugin::getCurrentPlayList called at > /config/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SQLPlayList/Plugin.pm line 377.

SQLPlayList had code for playback logic (Dynamic Playlist Creator doesn't) and is therefore affected.

It then committed those rating values to its own database table *and then to the LMS database*. So if you used CustomScan and the CustomScan auto-refresh (after a LMS rescan/restart), it would always replace the rating values in the LMS database with values it had pulled from the tracks' rating tag(s). That's one possible cause for unwanted rating changes after an LMS rescan / restart. Not sure how relevant it is in your case. mamema wrote: > Validation: rated in Material 5 Star - Default Skin outcome: LMS 100, > and (end user unclear) a 5 star (shown as stars), is this Ratings > Light? > > another song, also flac, never rated, i've rated with 5 stars in > Material, IT EVEN DOESN'T STICK in Material, even though it shows the > "end user message" "*" at the top of material after rating. > Of course i've ckecked default skin afterwards, nothing there So the plugins seem to work as expected. The only question remaining is why the rating value isn't committed to the LMS database for some tracks. Are they dead/moved tracks perhaps (= invalid file url = database problem)? RL will not rate invalid tracks (for good reason). Try this: open 3 browser tabs - one with LMS *player* (-default skin-), one with LMS *settings*, one with LMS *server log*. Then in the LMS -player- tab find a track for which the rating "doesn't stick". Rate it with the default skin, reload the tab and confirm the rating didn't stick. Now, in tab 2 (-settings-) set the log level for Ratings Light to *debug*, switch to tab 1 (default skin player) and try to rate the track again. Then go to tab 3 (server log) and check for relevant log entries. Good luck.

so two things
1.) your reply to SQLPlaylist isn't clear to me
>That command = deprecated. SQLPlayList had code for playback logic
(Dynamic Playlist Creator doesn't) and is therefore affected. Had >to
happen sooner or later.
which means? Plugin SQLPlaylist NEEDS to be disabled?
2.) i was going not exactly the same route of your very good
troubleshooting guide, because, i was just not sure if i will find
another "not stick setting" song, so i started with the above mentioned
culprit and NO not moved, just "sorted into" the library, brand new,
played and listened yesterday.

Will release *Ratings Light* version 2.2.*4* soon when I've had time to do the usual pre-release tests. 2.2.4 has more log messages that should help troubleshooting. About SQLPlayList: just continue using it, should be fine. Hopefully, by the time it doesn't work anymore, -Dynamic Playlist Creator- will have exited the beta p to take over. I see that you still have the -SongInfo- plugin installed that throws a lot of errors. Maybe you could post a complete list of your installed plugins. Sorry for the short message, I don't have more time right now.

i would say, my corner case is solved. Even though it is not a corner case, because it's me. :-) Thank you very much. one, quite funny thing is, that with the DPL3 plugin, if i use a "bring up 5 star" stuff sql query, then the rated song is coming up, but it is from another album, where this song is on. on compilation albums for example. The compilation song wasn't rated with RL.

I've never used -Songinfo/SongLyrics-. But there were a lot of error messages in your previous log excerpts. Maybe check for yourself: go to (LMS default skin) -song view- for a song *without* embedded lyrics and see if the plugin still fetches lyrics (or whatever else it was supposed to fetch). mamema wrote: > one, quite funny thing is, that with the DPL3 plugin, if i use a "bring > up 5 star" stuff sql query, then the rated song is coming up, but it is > from another album, where this song is on. on compilation albums for > example. The compilation song wasn't rated with RL. If you start a dynamic playlist that's supposed to retrieve only 5-star tracks from the LMS database, it doesn't matter *what* you used to rate them in the past - RL, TrackStat, some SQLite command... All that matters is that the LMS database has a 5-star rating (100) for this track. As long as DPL3 only adds 5-star tracks that actually have a 5-star rating in the LMS database, I'd say it's doing what it's supposed to. In case I misunderstood your issue and you still think that DPL3/your dynamic playlist is not working properly, then I'll need more information: If it's a -built-in- dynamic playlist, please provide its *full* name from the menu. If it's a -custom- dynamic playlist that you've created (with or without '*Dynamic Playlist Creator*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylistcreator#dynamic-playlist-creator---beta)), please post the SQLite code.

I've been playing with the new DPL4 and DPLC (Dynamic PlayList Creator) and it does everything I was using SQLPlaylist for. To access DPLC you will need to add this Github url to your Plugin repos; https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylistcreator/main/repo.xml DPLC should seem fairly familiar if you used SQLPlaylist templates. My biggie is random songs of chosen genres with BPM filtering which I manually had to add the SQL statements for BPM to the SQL generated with Erlands SQLPlaylists. The new DPLC has added BPM filtering to the template so I'm a very happy camper. DPLC currently works with DPL3, but I think @AF1 plans to make DPLC a DPL4 only thing down the road.

One question I have about the combo of DPL4 and DPC is whether I can recreate my main playlist, which is random songs from my entire collection, but excluding certain genres and also using Custom Skip for songs that are in my Skip playlist. I have it functioning from my old SQLPlaylist version, but I have to edit it every once in a while if I add music from a new genre that I don't want to play.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Don't know. I thought I'd read in the DPL4 announce thread that there is a way to get your old SQLPlaylists into DPL4. I know in the DPLC template page at the bottom there's a "Save as" with a drop down. If you use the dropdown and pick the "Customized SQLite" option it brings up the SQL that you can then modify to add whatever you couldn't specify through the template pages. I also see that the last update to DPLC says it's now DPL4 only.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Not sure if this qualifies as a bug, but I think it's not the expected behavior. There does not seem to be a way to add a dynamic playlist to LMS favorites when using the default web interface. The option to add to favorites is in the context menu of Material skin. Is this a situation where you would expect the user to add the context menu plugin if they want this feature in the default interface? LMS 3.0, Raspberry Pi OS (Debian) Meta question: would it be better to start another thread for for questions and comments that don't qualify as bugs?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Hey Vincent:
I've never used the Dynamic*Mix* plugin nor MusicIP so I'm not sure how
much I can help you here.
I get multiple errors even with the *old* Dynamic Playlists plugin. You
can ignore the commandCallbacks. And the -DynamicPlaylist not active-
message just means that DPL is not playing any dynamic playlist provided
by DynamicMix. The problem seems to be that DynamicMix (not DPL) is not
able to connect to the local MusicIP server (port 10002). I got this
error too (also with the old DPL version) and I don't even run Docker.
DPL basically asks all plugins if they provide dynamic playlists
(getDynamicPlayLists call) and lists them in the DPL home or context
menu. That works otherwise you wouldn't see them. Then when you start a
dynamic playlist DPL asks the plugin that provides the dynamic playlist
to deliver tracks (getNextDynamicPlayListTracks call) and -it's up to
those plugins to send those tracks to DPL-. To maintain compatibility
with older plugins like SQLplayList I didn't change that (SQLplayList
still works).
All that makes me think that problem is somewhere on the MusicIP side.
Since you're on -Linux- you might want to give Craig's MusicIP mixer a
try ('*LMS plugin*' (https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-mipmixer) and
linux '*server*' (https://github.com/CDrummond/musicip)).
Hope that helped at least a little.

MillmoorRon wrote: > I somehow update to version 3 (despite unselecting it) without removing > version 2 first. > > What do I do now? Well, I'd intentionally changed the plugin ID of DPL v3 to prevent auto-updates and let the user decide if they want to update to v3. And I tested it at the time. But I guess LMS somehow decided that if 2 plugins have the same name they're still the same and it should auto-update. I didn't want to change the plugin name though to maintain compatibility with other plugins among other things. Anyway, if you're fine with DPL v3 check the LMS home menu and your plugin folder. If there's only one Dynamic Playlist plugin and it's v3 you should be fine. If for some reason you don't want to update to v3 and stick to DPL v2.x just download the old DPL and put the DynamicPlaylist folder in your local plugin folder. You'll find the path at the bottom of the LMS settings > information page. It's the path that does *not* have *cache* or *server* in it. Then LMS shouldn't auto-update DPL. Hope that helps. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thank you. Successfully reverted to version 2. I had 2 available plugin updates and the Dynamic Playlist one showed the warning about uninstalling the old one first so I unchecked it and picked apply but when the server restarted both had been updated! It's good that someone has taken over this plugin and it will be maintained as I've used this for about 15 years now and it has always worked well. I will investigate the new version at some point but currently I just don't have as much time to tinker as I used to and my system is working very well.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
First, off, thank you for picking this up and updating it. The Dynamic Playlists are very valuable to me, and I was happy to see a newer version after so long. It appears that the playlists are currently limited to a max of 50 unplayed songs, and 100 played tracks to keep. When I try to update this value to my default of 2500, I get a message saying the limit is 50 and 100 respectively. I believe this is as designed, but I have dynamic playlists well into the thousands. I tried to go into the dynamicplaylists.prefs and update this through there (I did not bounce the service afterwards, so that might be the trick that will solve the issue), but my updated values didn't appear to take. Any chance the max values could be updated to some very large number? trmonnig's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Unless you use MySQL or rely on deprecated plugins (like multilibrary) I'm confident you'll find what's worked for you in v2 should still work in v3.

Smaller playlists are less likely to make clients crash or feel sluggish and depending on your dynamic playlist definiton it increases the randomness of the returned tracks. When you say you have *dynamic* playlists with thousands of tracks, do you actually mean *dynamic* playlists (which are basically SQL queries that DPL uses to get tracks) or do you mean *static/saved* playlists (from the LMS playlists home menu)? If you want to add -all- tracks of a *static* playlist -at once- and play them in a random order that's totally possible and probably easier without DPL. I'll keep your idea in mind though. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Hi I have a strange discrepancy between Dynamic Playlists 3 and Visual statistics and @afriend I think you are the main developer of both plugins. According to Visual statistics I have only 30% of played artists (visible in the "more library statistics (text"), yet when I try to play the Dynamic playlist "Artists - never played" no tracks is added like as if there is no track with this criteria. So who's wrong? Dynamic playlist sql request is bigger but I can't see the issue. werdeil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70638 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

So who's wrong? Played artists in this context means artists with at least one track whose playcount > 0. I've checked *played artists* with VS SQL and with DPL SQL. Comes up with the same number/percent of played artists here. Please note that this dynamic playlist ignores artists with fewer than 3 tracks. Actually a few of the built-in dynamic playlists have that mimimum requirement, esp. artist and album playlists. So that may be one reason. In my library I have only 6% played artists (because I wiped the persistent database some time ago) and when I play -Artists - never played- it works. BTW DPL should give you feedback if it doesn't find any tracks. The feedback's probably more visible and less easy to miss if you start the dynamic playlist on a jivelite player (piCorePlayer, SqueezePlay, SB Touch...).

Copy the built-in playlist -Artists - Never Played- (= the file named -artists_13_neverplayed.sql.xml-) from the DPL plugin folder or the github repo to DPL's *custom dynamic playlist* folder (the one where users store their own playlist definition files). If you haven't set a custom path for it, it's probably in the LMS playlist folder (default). Then open the copied playlist file in any text editor (preferably one that doesn't add stuff like control characters) and change this: in line *2* (-- PlaylistGroups:Artists) delete the word -Artists-. = the playlist will be listed in -Not classified- = easier to find. in line *30* set the value for *totaltrackcount > 3* to 1. Then restart LMS (just to be sure) and try this playlist. werdeil wrote: > I don't have this kind of feedback on the material skin view I could have sworn it was there at some point but you're right.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
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!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
First off, there is actually a section on how to revert to DPL v2.+ and not auto-update to DPL v3+ in the future. Just in case. BTW if you did a *wipe* (=clear) & rescan (not simply scan for new & changed files) -after- you'd renamed your files your database should be ok. And yes, DPL adds "only" a max. of 15 new tracks *by default* but *you can change that number* on the plugin's settings page (up to 50 tracks), it's actually the first setting. Customskip used to be closer tied to DPL but DPL playlists can still enable customskip filters even though the goal would be to filter out unwanted tracks etc. in the SQL queries right away. The built-in DPL lists are just a starting point. The real power of DPL is that you can create tailor-made dynamic playlists (within what SQLite allows) that should give you exactly what you want. And since you can filter/exclude anything unwanted from the very start you won't even need CustomSkip. Since DPL v3+ you can use these user-provided custom dynamic playlists -directly- in DPL, without any other plugin like SQLPlayList or TrackStat. Since this would be a very specific playlist tailored to your personal needs I'd obviously not add it to the built-in playlists. But I could help you create it by posting the sql playlist definition of such a dynamic playlist here so you can test it. But I need to know all the parameters. So it's - an *album* playlist, - never played before: -entire- album never played before or just -containing 1 or more tracks- never played before? - *excluding albums from which genres?* - no min. track duration? - for all albums or only those with a minium number of tracks in it? (thereby excluding "albums" like CD singles with only 2 tracks for example) - in album order or randomly ordered? ... If you want to give this a try please list all the parameters you can think of incl. what CustomSkip would have skipped. Otherwise if you prefer to revert to DPL 2.x please visit the github page for more information on how to do that. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Regarding Custom Skip, the way I use it is to omit certain songs that I keep in a static playlist called "Skip" which omits them from any random playlist that I create with DPL.

The only thing that you could configure in CustomSkip's settings (besides the folder path) was whether to limit skipping to DPL playlists or not. Just set it *yes* (= global skipping = not limited to dynamic playlists) and you should be fine. As I said I think most excluding or filtering should probably be done in the dynamic playlists (i.e. the sql queries). But for a static playlist with lots of different single tracks skipping them with CustomSkip is just as good I guess.

Randomly chosen never-played albums 2. Skipping tracks where one or more of the GENRE tags are something not suited to overnight use, e.g., "Spoken", "Comedy", etc. 3. No high or low limits on number of tracks or track duration. I'll take it whether the "album" is a one-track single or a 200-track box. 4. One shortcoming (well, to me, but not necessarily to anyone else) of Erland's original plugin is that (as I understand it) even playing just one track from an album results in that album being considered "played". I'm looking for any album that hasn't been played in its entirety. Though that can get murky, too: For example, if an album has a mix of music and interviews (GENRE=Interview), I'd want to play the music tracks but not the spoken ones. Another thing that I appreciate and am not sure if your plugin also has is the ability to skip tracks with multiple genres if any *one* of those genres matches one that should be skipped. That's something of a serious shortcoming in the stock LMS random code--if I have an album with GENRE=DTS and GENRE=Rock and tell LMS not to play DTS, that album will still play based on the remaining genre. I also just installed the new Dynamic Playlists plugin on a fully up to date server that doesn't get used much and doesn't, as far as I know, have any non-vanilla funny stuff on it. Multiple attempts to have Dynamic Playlists play never-played albums resulted in...nothing. The log doesn't report any errors, but nothing gets added to the playlist. Is it possible that 123,195 tracks is just too many? (Another way I'm an outlier!) Anyway, thank you for the response. At this point I think I'll just try to restore the old plugin. At some point I'll presumably run out of albums for it to play...I had assumed that when that day came I'd just wipe out all the data and start fresh, but maybe that would be the perfect time to transition to the new plugin. atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Ok, quickly before I have to leave.
#1
While working on DPL 3 I switched very often between 2.10.247 (the last
DPL 2 version) and DPL 3. Erland changed the code in the end so that DPL
would never ask for or require the license manager. And it never did. So
don't know what's going on there. Did you dl the old plugin from the
link on my github page and followed the steps there?
#2
"Albums - never played" means just that. Albums with no tracks in them
that have been played before = the sum of the play counts of all tracks
in an album would be 0. Also in the latest release version 3.1.7 there's
still a minimum track requirement of 3 tracks for albums to be
considered. In the lastest (but not yet released) version on github you
can change this value.
>From what I understand you want -partially- played albums - which is
probably the state of most albums (at least most of mine).
Anyway here's a very quick draft of a playlist that should meet your
parameters. So if you're feeling adventurous (haven't tested it at
all):
Code:
-- PlaylistName:Albums - partially played
-- PlaylistGroups:
create temporary table dynamicplaylist_random_albums as
select partiallyplayed.album as album from
(select distinct tracks.album as album from tracks
join tracks_persistent on
tracks_persistent.urlmd5 = tracks.urlmd5 and
(tracks_persistent.playCount = 0 or tracks_persistent.playCount is null)
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
and not exists (select * from tracks t2, genre_track,
genres
where
t2.id =
tracks.id and
tracks.id =
genre_track.track and
genre_track.genre = genres.id and
genres.name in
('Spoken','Interview','Comedy'))
group by tracks.album
order by random()
limit 10) as partiallyplayed
order by random()
limit 1;
select distinct tracks.url from tracks
join dynamicplaylist_random_albums on
dynamicplaylist_random_albums.album = tracks.album
join tracks_persistent on
tracks_persistent.urlmd5 = tracks.urlmd5 and
(tracks_persistent.playCount = 0 or tracks_persistent.playCount is null)
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
and not exists (select * from tracks t2, genre_track, genres
where
t2.id = tracks.id and
tracks.id =
genre_track.track and
genre_track.genre =
genres.id and
genres.name in
('Spoken','Interview','Comedy'))
group by tracks.id
order by dynamicplaylist_random_albums.album;
drop table dynamicplaylist_random_albums;
Put this code in a (text) file and save it as
-partiallyplayedalbums*.sql.xml*- and then put the file in the DPL
custom playlist folder (if you haven't changed the path it should be in
the LMS playlist folder). It should be listed under -Not classified-.
It will only play *un*played songs of -partially- played albums and
exclude the genres 'Spoken','Interview', and 'Comedy'. You can add more
genres in the 2 lines. I'm not sure if it will add the -entire- album
(did v2 add a complete box of 500 tracks?) because after all DPL is a
lot about dynamic random mixes, very much designed to increase
randomness, in this case getting tracks in small batches and each batch
a new query and therefore possibly new album. Anyway, I really have to
go. Hope this helped a bit.

I thought that the plugins still wanted License Manager but LM was updated to just give everything to everybody. But it's been a long time and I could be completely wrong. For what it's worth, I never deleted LM. afriend wrote: > Anyway here's a very quick draft of a playlist that should meet your > parameters.

Curiously, I was able to get it to work on the other server where I installed your Dynamic Playlists (no prior version had ever been installed) but could never get it to do anything at all with the included Never Played Albums option. The web page would just kind of sit for a while but nothing got added to the playlist. But your new code immediately a selected a one-track album, then added another complete multi-track album. The only issue there is that the tracks were out of order, but that's probably easy. It looks like more is going on, but you now have me curious if I can simplify it. I haven't looked at the database lately, so maybe I'm fooling myself. What I'm shooting for is "Find a single random unplayed track that doesn't have a genre I don't want. Find the album it belongs to, then add the entire album to the playlist with the tracks properly ordered." It looks like you're starting in the same place but I think I'll fool around with this and see if I can make it simpler. afriend wrote: > > I'm not sure if it will add the -entire- album (did v2 add a complete > box of 500 tracks?) > It would definitely add entire boxes, though the biggest one I can think of was Zombie Heaven, which is over 100 tracks. I remember that specifically because I once tried to play it via a Touch's built-in server and it refused because the playlist was too big! But if I can figure out a way to just use that "seed" track as the key to grab the entire album I'll be happy. afriend wrote: > > because after all DPL is a lot about dynamic random mixes, very much > designed to increase randomness, in this case getting tracks in small > batches and each batch a new query and therefore possibly new album. It's important to me to add an entire album in order. This is partly an old age thing (I grew up in the era when the album was king) and partly an insomnia thing: I let it play at a low level all night, so that if I wake up I can listen to whatever it's serving while I try to go back to sleep. If it's playing an album I know but I realize tracks are missing, it will definitely get my attention in a non-positive way. I also get a kick out of checking What Was That Tune in the morning. The fewer tracks I realize I heard, the better I probably slept. afriend wrote: > > Anyway, I really have to go. Hope this helped a bit.

Yes and yes. Please wait for DPL 3.2.0. It's already in the github repo and will be released soon (after Material skin 2.7.0 has been released). On the settings page: check -add complete album-, set min. album tracks to 1 (if you want to include 1- and 2-track albums) and select the genres to exclude at the bottom. Then play a dynamic *album* playlist and choose if you want to listen to played, unplayed or all songs in albums. Works here.

This looks like exactly what I need, thank you so much! Two suggestions, though: I'm sure it's my own fault, but I ran into an issue with dynamicplaylists_random_albums already existing, so it probably wouldn't hurt to have all the SQL begin with: Code: drop table if exists [whatever_table]; Also, it looks like the results of our own custom queries are still always randomized. It would be nice to have that become optional. Lastly, just as an FYI: I never could restore Erland's plugin the proper way on my old server, so I wound up putting it back into the cache directory and then rescinding write permissions for the directory itself and all the files therein. I'm sure that's not an optimal approach, but it seems to be working for me so far. atrocity's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16009 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It's called -Add-Only- mode. In the web UI just click on the + and it should only add a number of songs instead of starting a dynamic playlist.

Good catch. Added -drop table if exists- to those a couple of playlists where it was still missing. You'd probably only run into this problem if the sql query errors out before the end where the temp. table is dropped. But having it in the beginning is quicker than a LMS restart. > Also, it looks like the results of our own custom queries are still > always randomized. It would be nice to have that become optional. Works already for *album* playlists (incl. custom) that include the PlaylistParameter *-- PlaylistContentType:album* (see built-in dyn. playlists for ref.). Still trying to think of other use cases (besides album), dynamic playlists that don't benefit from shuffling? Even if you choose artist, genre, year, decade, or playlist as a starting point, what's actually added are either tracks or albums. For albums it makes sense (that's why I added the option) and random tracks shouldn't mind additional shuffling I guess. afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

No. It's probably best to use the context menu. In the web UI click the *M* next to the artist of your choice, then click DPL, then next to the dynamic playlist "random songs (for selected artist)" click the *+*. On jivelite players (pCP, SB Touch etc.) you get the context menu with a long touch & hold. For the number of added songs - it's actually the very first setting: -Max. number of unplayed songs-.

With v3.2.1 you have 2 options to achieve this: - I've added a dynamic playlist that plays random songs but ignores all tracks from a selected playlist. You'd have to choose the genres to exclude on the botton of DPL's settings page. That should work.

Just think of DPL as some kind of random play with lots of options for
fine-tuning the selection of the tracks you want to listen to.
DPL uses sql queries to fetch tracks. Before DPL v3 the -source- of
these sql queries had to be other plugins like SQLPlayList, TrackStat,
or CustomScan. DPL asks these plugins if they want to provide any sql
queries (=dynamic playlists) and if so, DPL will list them.
With DPL v3 I've added 2 new options: -built-in- dynamic playlists and
the option to create your own -custom- dynamic playlists and use them
directly in DPLv3, without relying on other plugins.
For dynamic playlists think of SQLPlayList as a sql query generator with
a user interface. It takes your playlist parameter choices and creates a
sql query file (either sql.xml or as a xml template). It assists you in
creating sql queries.
Since DPL and SQLPlayList use the same sql query format you could easily
export most of your SQLPlayLists as customized sql query files and uses
them in DPL directly. That's probably good to bear in mind if
SQLPlayList should ever stop working properly.
So when I talk about using custom dynamic playlists I usually mean
creating custom sql query files and putting them in the DPL custom
playlist folder. It's a very powerful option because you can create
exactly the kind of dynamic playlist you want. And it probably sounds
more difficult than it actually is.

It seems that CustomSkip does not properly skip songs in dynamic
playlists because there's a block of code in CustomSkip that prevents
that. I've uploaded a slighly revised version of CustomSkip to
'*github*' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip) that should fix
this.
In your case you would certainly benefit from a custom dynamic playlist
tailored to your specific needs. Below is custom dynamic playlist based
on your screenshot. Open your text editor, copy&paste the sql code below
and save it as "nameofyourchoice*.sql.xml*". The file extension
*.sql.xml* is important. Now put this file into the -DPL custom playlist
folder- (should be in your playlist folder if you haven't changed the
location).
Code:
-- PlaylistName:Random songs from collection - ignore songs in selected
playlist
-- PlaylistParameter1:playlist:Select playlist to ignore:
select distinct tracks.url from tracks
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and tracks.secs >= 'PlaylistTrackMinDuration'
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
and not exists (select * from tracks t2,playlist_track
where
t2.url=tracks.url and
tracks.url =
playlist_track.track and
playlist_track.playlist
!= 'PlaylistParameter1')
and not exists (select * from tracks t3,genre_track,genres
where
t3.id=tracks.id and
tracks.id=genre_track.track and
genre_track.genre=genres.id and
genres.name in
('Alternate
Version','Avantgarde','Baseball','Broadway','Christmas','Comedy','Country','Electronic','Ethnic','Hip
Hop','Jazz','Jazz-Fusion','Live','Novelty','Raga','Soundtrack','Spoken
Word','Standards','Unreleased Rarity'))
group by tracks.url
order by random()
limit 'PlaylistLimit';
This new playlist should now appear in the not-classified group. Adapt
it to your needs (name, excluded genre list).

I'm not sure I understand. Same as in v2 you can't -create- new dynamic
playlists in DPL with the user interface. The only way you can add new
dynamic playlists to DPL (as explained in the beginning) is by adding
sql query files to the DPL custom playlist folder or in other plugins
like SQLPlayLists.
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Dynamic Playlists 3 (mod)
Would there be a way (in the current or a future version) to create a DPL where the user is prompted for an artist to random play BUT instead of choosing one artist the user *can select multiple artist*. This would create a dynamic mix using all the selected artist's songs. I understand I can build a playlist that already has the included artists as part of the playlist but I want to be able to build this dynamically. Even better would be a context menu type playlist that can be used on the artist browse page when using the select feature where the user could checkbox multiple artists and then clicking the context menu DPL and it plays random from all artist selected. If not now or ever this would definitely be something I would like to explore accomplishing so if you have any suggestions it would be great. Thank you for keeping this great plugin alive. shinedou's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72027 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115073 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yeah, I completely understand the life changes part. Creative I may be, however I am lacking the *ability* part but I am trying to learn. I will take a look at the music-similarity stuff.

Are you using -mysql- or -sqlite?- DPLv3 is sqlite only.
While you still need plugins like TrackStat or RatingsLight for setting
ratings you don't need any plugin at all for retrieving ratings from LMS
directly. If your LMS database is standard sqlite this playlist should
probably work:
Code:
-- PlaylistName:Top rated songs 7 plus
-- PlaylistParameter1:list:Select minimum
rating:0:0,10:1,20:2,30:3,40:4,50:5,60:6,70:7,80:8,90:9,100:10
select distinct tracks.url from tracks
join tracks_persistent on
tracks_persistent.urlmd5 = tracks.urlmd5 and
tracks_persistent.rating >= 'PlaylistParameter1'
left join dynamicplaylist_history on
dynamicplaylist_history.id=tracks.id and
dynamicplaylist_history.client='PlaylistPlayer'
where
tracks.audio = 1
and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null
and tracks.secs >= 'PlaylistTrackMinDuration'
and not exists (select * from tracks t2,genre_track,genres
where
t2.id=tracks.id and
tracks.id=genre_track.track and
genre_track.genre=genres.id and
genres.name in
('PlaylistExcludedGenres'))
group by tracks.url
order by random()
limit 'PlaylistLimit';

Thanks again for the detailed response. I'm now beginning to understand.
Since I have absolutely no capacity to write SQL, can I assume that
SQLPLaylists can still be used to create custom play lists? From what I
can see, this still works. Regarding your fix for CustomSkip, has anyone
tested it yet? I'm not sophiticated enough to replace it and then go
backwards if necessary. The use o

And in the case of DynamicPlayList there's a previous version that's still used by some, esp. for its ties with other plugins like MultiLibrary, SQLPlayList, TrackStat or CustomScan. By removing DPLv3 from the main LMS repo v2 and v3 can coexist and switching between them should be easy. And if DPLv3 ever becomes deprecated you can always remove the repo URL and switch back to v2.
