And if you want to get rid of existing duplicates it's not enough to just uncheck it, you need to go through the backup, clear, restore procedure I explained previously to get rid of any existing duplicates. esa wrote: > > Actually, I use it to : > 1) avoid playing the same song twice (I use SQLPLaylist).

The logic to avoid adding the same song twice only looks at the path/url and not on the musicbrainz tag. However, if you are talking about the "Ignore songs played recently" settings in SQL Playlist or "Not recently played" playlists in TrackStat, that might actually be working (by accident) through musicbrainz tags as described below. esa wrote: > > I also use MB to manage deletion of duplicates files but it will take a > very long time with more than 4 songs. > There is no problem to have musicbrainz tags in the files, you just need to disable the trackstat settings so they won't be used by TrackStat. I'm not sure how you manage deletion of duplicates but I'm guessing it's done through the musicbrainz tags in the files and not through the TrackStat plugin ? esa wrote: > > 2) Rate the duplicate songs based on this unique ID (if I play only one > instance of a duplicate song, then the two files are rated). Is it > correct? > Correct, here musicbrainz tags are used, but the fact that it works is pure luck because most of the logic has been designed on the fact that musibrainz is globally unique, so it probably also have some unexpected side effect which we haven't realized yet. Musicbrainz tags were globally unique for a certain track on a specific album previously but a few years back musicbrainz.org change the definition to make it identify the recording rather than the track, which results in that the same recording which exists both on a compilation album and a normal album is no longer globally unique. If this had been the case when TrackStat functionality was implemented I would never have used it in TrackStat, but this part of TrackStat was implemented before this change and at the moment there isn't any good alternative to switch to instead of using musicbrainz tags. esa wrote: > > So, I think I must keep this parameter enabled if I want the > functionalities? > If you get a lot of duplicates, I would suggest that you disable it, the duplicates are mostly likely going to cause you more trouble than then benefits you get by having it active. esa wrote: > > The most important, is that I thought it will avoid duplicates listening > of the same song (based on this unique ID), but I'm no more sure of > that. > I think I have misunderstood that point. > > I created a DynPlaylist to play a folder but I don't want to hear twice > the same song (ifnull(track_statistics.playcount,0)=0). > > Maybe should I add into the query a condition "NEVER rated song" in > combination with the "automatic rating" in TrackStat?

How can I do this? > If you with "same song" mean that you consider a song that exists both on a compilation album and a normal album as the same song, it means that you need to rely on musicbrainz tags. The best way to realize something like this would be to use SQL Playlist plugin and create a playlist where you have customzied the SQL to your liking. The "Random Songs" playlist template in SQL Playlist plugin should get you fairly close as it has a parameter to ignore songs played recently (within 1 year maximum) and if you customize the SQL you can configure it to more than a year. A playlist like this in SQL Playlist would play random songs which haven't been played within 2 years: Code: -- PlaylistName:Random songs not played within 2 years -- PlaylistGroups: select tracks.url from tracks left join dynamicplaylist_history on tracks.id=dynamicplaylist_history.id left join track_statistics on tracks.url=track_statistics.url where audio=1 and dynamicplaylist_history.id is null and ifnull(track_statistics.lastplayed,0)<(unix_timestamp()-63072000) order by rand() limit 10; But this will be based on the track url/path so it will still play both the track from a normal album and a compilation album when you disable the mus
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Windows 8 App
Well, I'm feeling especially stupid tonight. I downloaded the app from the store and am trying to login using my mysqueezebox account, but it won't let me. I've verified my id and password, tried using my entire email address and then just the first part, and still nothing. Thoughts on what I could be doing wrong? (Yes, I've toggled the little radio box to tell the app I want to use mysqueezebox.) best, Scott A.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Local Player plugin and Squeezelite for Linux/Windows/OSX
Hi, I have installed Local Player plugin on Ubuntu 13.1 system with LMS 7.7.3 on the same system. I have a problem in that when LocalPlayer is running even with nothing playing, then no other audio application will work, Checking the sound settings the Output devices are no longer displayed. Stopping LMS or deactivating the Local player plugin- restores the normal sound output devices. Is there something wrong here or is this expected behaviour?? I am suspicious that it has something to do with the fact that LMS runs under a different users name ie Squeezeboxserver --- uid=116(squeezeboxserver) gid=65534(nogroup) groups=65534(nogroup),29(audio) Any clues?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Spotify Premium Plugin (Beta)
Loving the plug-in, pretty much all I use these days with my SB's. I am in the middle of building a house and will be setting up about 6 zones throughout my house. I already have 2 x Touches, a duet, Radio and Boom but need more. Before I go out and buy something potentially redundant, if Logitch flick the switch and turn off the Squeezebox services will the Spotify Core app continue to run or will I be dead in the water. I love my Squeezeboxes, ipeng setup but don't want to invest anymore in something that could be dead and don't want to spend countless hours hacking, troubleshooting things. Should I sell all my gear and be done with it or buy more?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Dear Erland, If I understand, I should disable the MusicBrainz (MB) parameter to avoid duplicates in "Last played Song"? Actually, I use it to : 1) avoid playing the same song twice (I use SQLPLaylist). So, if I understand, I need to tag my file with a unique ID and I need to enable this parameter. I also use MB to manage deletion of duplicates files but it will take a very long time with more than 4 songs. 2) Rate the duplicate songs based on this unique ID (if I play only one instance of a duplicate song, then the two files are rated). Is it correct? So, I think I must keep this parameter enabled if I want the functionalities? It shows multiple times the same track in "last played song". In the other TrackStat menu, it also gives duplicates : like in "Song Rate song" (If I have 3 tracks for a song, it can show 10 times the same song in the list). The most important, is that I thought it will avoid duplicates listening of the same song (based on this unique ID), but I'm no more sure of that. I think I have misunderstood that point. I created a DynPlaylist to play a folder but I don't want to hear twice the same song (ifnull(track_statistics.playcount,0)=0). Sorry to be so difficult, but I would like to understand how it will work in SQLPLaylist. Other question about duplicate : In SQL query into Trackstat, would it be possible to add the command "DISTINCT" to avoid duplicate on song title ? Thanks a lot for your help.
