Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
Custom Scan seems to be working correctly now. I specified both tags to look for, changed the maximum rating to 5 (I thought 100 was a max percentage or something...), and checked the Scan All box. Does the Scan All run when you Rescan Media Library/Look for new and changed media files or only when selecting Scan All in the Custom Scan plugin? You can see I'm still confused about what happens when in LMS and these plugins. I will try making various trackstat playlists for a few days. The two I tried out today seem fine, both based on Advanced With Rating. I am sure I will be purchasing a license from Erland soon.

I also double checked the settings in Custom Scan/Module Settings for Ratings Tag and see it set to look for RATING. I can't figure out why it recognized the MP3 files instead of the FLAC files.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I finally had a chance to make a new SQL playlist and try it out. I selected create new playlist; Advanced with rating and followed the instructions in the Setup Smart Playlists wiki except that I selected Rock genre instead of Pop. So it should play all 5 star rated Rock songs in my library? Instead it is playing only mp3 files from my library and no Flac files. Also, it is playing both 4 and 5 star rated Rock songs. Is there a setting in Custom Scan that would allow making ratings tags in Mp3 files but not for Flac files? I turned off the UPNP plugin and the subscribe/unsubscribe error stopped in the server log.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I am starting to get worried that I wasted a lot of time applying ratings to individual songs when I ripped my CDs. When you pop a CD in with dbpoweramp running it looks at some online ratings and shows stars (1-5) displayed near each song on the CD. I took these as a starting point and went ahead and adjusted ratings up or down as I saw fit. When I had done so to all the songs on the CD I went ahead and ripped to FLAC files on a HD. I looked at the files with windows explorer and saw the rating stars I had assigned were displayed by the songs so thought I was good. I probably have ratings that are not in tags but elsewhere?? You may be right about Random Playlist plugin. I recollect an early Erland plugin that jazzed up the standard Random Mix playlist generator. Might be losing my mind too. My hair is sure going fast.

Hi again. So rereading the Erland Wiki for setup smart playlists again and I see that Trackstat Plugin is indeed *needed for rating based Playlists*. http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Setup_smart_playlists I added Trackstat to my plugins at the extension downloader. Then got the licensing straight for it. Going back to that smart setup page in the Wiki I decided to use the example to make a *Top rated pop songs* which should play random that have a rating of 4 and above and belong to the Pop genre. Open Extras/SQL Playlist in the web interface Select Create new playlist Select playlist type : Advanced with rating Enter playlist parameters - Playlist name: Top rated pop songs - Minimum rating: - Include genres: Mark pop deselect everything else Click next Change parameters - Filename: topratedpopsongs.sql.values Click save to store the changes So I went Dynamic Playlists and I found the new Top rated pop songs playlist at the end of the list. I highlighted this new playlist and clicked play - nothing happens. The right panel continues to say empty, no playlist is generated, nothing happens. Tried this several times with same result. Tried Save and play and still nothing happens. I don't know what the problem might be now.

I'm not clear where the ratings come from for trackstat unless you explicitly rate songs with the trackstat plugin on specific tracks or albums. Having just installed the plugin you may have none unless you restored from a previous backup. Use the Trackstat menu to see what ratings you have got. Another way of getting ratings is to use a Rating tag in your files and scan with Custom Scan. I am a bit unclear on whether trackstat can work without Custom Scan in that case. I suggest you ask Erland (the author). I have lots of 4 and 5 star rated pop songs in my library. The ratings were assigned by dppoweramp when I ripped my CDs to my HD. Also assigned genre at same time with dbpoweramp. The ratings and genres show up in windows explorer... Years ago, when Erlans's pluging were free, I was able to play songs based on genre and ratings. I think the plugin was Random Playlist plugin, but can't recall for sure.

Someone else may know for sure. I thought that the 'random rated songs' option would do what you wanted, and if not, a fairly minor 'customize' edit would fix it. Does it not? Yeah, that is confusing - sorry. In first Post #1580 in first 2 pictures I was hoping to show the setup choices I have made for Dynamic Playlist Plugin and for SQL Playlist Plugin.

Then in Post #1580 I was trying to show that several random playlist templates do appear in the web interface on first page after selecting SQL Playlists. I can make any of those work just fine by making an edit of one and renaming it to something meaningful to me. Hence I show that my new playlist Random SONGS in genres FOLK and FOLK ROCK is indeed playing just fine. Last pics I was trying to show what happens when I try to start on a Create New Playlist/Download More Playlists. If I choose any of the playlists on that page I never get to a page where I can select options based on any selectable parameters. When I choose Save or Save and PLay it just dumps me back on the first SQL Playlists page with no new playlist in evidence. I am trying to stay away from Customize SQL and use Predefined. The Erland Wiki articles seem to indicate that the predefined should be just fine for beginners... Maybe I do need to install one or more additional plugins? The Wikis seem to indicate they are optional. I had them all loaded up at one time but I was so confused that I thought I should get rid of the extras and start with basics of Dynamic and SQL plugins only.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I have been attempting to get the SQL Plugin to work for me off and on for several days now. I am getting mixed results at best. First off, I have unchecked all of Erland's Plugins on the express DL page except for Dynamic Playlist, SQL Playlist, and License Manager. I am attempting to keep it as simple as possible so I can make progress and see expected results. Maybe I need more plugings other than those 3 to get it working correctly? Here is what I see going through attempting to get some playlists to run... First here is SQL settings: 17280 And here is Dynamis Playlist settings: 17281 Here is what I see when I click Extras; SQL Playlists in the web interface: 17282 As you can see there are several random type playlists available here and I can successfully edit them and save them with more descriptive names. They then run just fine - Random SONGS in genres FOLK and FOLK ROCK is playing in above screen shot.. Unfortunately none of those random type playlists in the first SQL screen above includes an option for selecting by my assigned ratings. Here is what I see when I click on Create New Playlist in the above: 17283 Why do those in the first column all have (delete) after them? I can then click on Download More Playlists and get a long list of more playlists, some of which apparently require additional plugins to work. Here's what I see: 17284 Okay this seems great. I can follow the instructions on SQL Plugin Wiki to Create and use smart playlist.. except it doesn't work for some reason. When I click Advanced with rating I get this screen where I go ahead and add POP to the name: Gonna have to make a new post to use more pics I see now. Sorry for all the pics, don't know to explain and give useful (?) info without the pics though. +---+ |Filename: WindowClipping (49).jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=17284| +---+ magee35's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I hate to post into this thread with entry-level beginner's questions but don't seem to be attracting any attention here: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?102994-Help-with-plugins-for-Squeezebox I would like to buy plugin(s) that allow playing from my music library in random sequence based on genre and assigned rating stars. I ripped my CD collection using dbPoweramp as FLAC files and assigned a genre and a rating of 1-5 stars to each song. I used to be able to play random songs based on those assigned ratings and genres several years ago. I believe Erland's plugins were free then and I think I was using Random Playlist Plugin. I see that plugin is still available for download at Erland's site but not much updated. It does not show up in Extension Downloader so I downloaded and unzipped it into the squeezebox plugins directory. Also checked Dynamic Playlist and License Manager in extension downloader and got those going with temporary trials. I cannot figure out how to get Random Playlist Plugin to work. Don't see it anywhere on the Squeezebox or in the LMS web control. I do see Dynamic Playlist on the web control. I have LMS at 7.8.0, is that a problem for Random Playlist Plugin? I have LMS and my music library running on a Windows Vista pc.

PasTim wrote: I don't know the Random Playlist plugin. The Dynamic Playlist plugin does support Random play. Select it in the menu, then Random, For Selected, Top Rated Songs in Genre, and set your genre and rating. This may not be quite what you want but should get you going. Take a look round the various menu items and see if any if your need. If none quite do, you can save the closest match and customise it to suit (use the Customize SQL option) If you don't know any, or sufficient, SQL and get stuck, ask on this thread, including the closest match code and saying what you want it to do, and someone may be able to help. LMS 7.9 has Random Mix built in but it does not use ratings. Thanks much for the quick reply. Was hoping that Random Playlist Plugin was still viable as it was simple. I need simple as am having trouble finding more than 15 minutes at a time to focus on this. The SQL stuff looks complex and I did try a time or two with no joy. If Random Play Plugin is no-go anymore then I will attempt the SQL stuff again and post what results I get. I love that so many very bright people are continuing to keep this community alive. I have not posted much but usually find answers here for my questions. :) magee35's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
