I would love to continue to discuss this in more detail if you have some things you would like to have or would like to be improved, but I would suggest that you start a new thread instead of discussing it here in the announcement thread. If you create the thread in the 3rd party plugins section, I'll see it. The current plan is to convert them as they are first and then extend with new features as usual. I've started this job and unless something goes wrong I expect 7.0 versions to be available for all my plugins within the next month or so, the first ones might come with in the next week or two. The only one I'm planning major changes in at the moment is TrackStat where I would like to make the statistic views a lot more configurable, similar to the Custom Browse configuration. However, I'm not sure how much I'll be doing to the first 7.0 release as TrackStat is critical if I should move my living room setup to 7.0 But, start a new thread if you like to continue to discuss this as I imagine the discussion will be a bit hidden here in the announcement thread. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21790 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

This was one of the reasons I implemented the Custom Skip plugin and the percentage based skipping. The problem I realized on the way was that Custom Skip is good for skipping a few tracks, but if you start to skip a lot of tracks you will get in trouble. The reason you will get in trouble is that it will take a lot longer to retrieve new tracks for a dynamic playlist which results in that the sound from the SB stops for a while in worst case. Now when I think about it this could actually be the case with your sound skipping problem if you have a Custom Skip filter setup that skips a lot of track, is this the case ? To implement a good "More like/Less like" functionality it needs to base the selection on this, so it get the right tracks directly. Currently for example "Random Songs" will get tracks from the whole library and then start skipping most of them to comply with the "More like/Less like" settings (the percentages in Custom Skip). It would work a lot better if the situation was reversed so the "More like/Less like" settings (precentages) were taken into account directly when "Random Songs" retrieved more songs. However, this isn't possible today. I still have this on my wish list, but it can get pretty complicated to do this directly when retrieving the tracks. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21790 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

You could already today structure your own playlists into groups like "Top rated", by entering something in the "Playlist group" parameter when creating a playlist with SQL Playlist plugin. So if this is what you mean, it works already today. If you are talking about the TrackStat statistics and if you can setup your own statistic entries, that's is planned. I would like TrackStat to work pretty much the same way as Custom Browse. This way it can come with a number of predefined statistic types and you can create new ones based on templates or raw SQL. It's going to be a bit work to implement this, but the current solution is a bit hard to maintain since I need to change source code every time someone wants a change in a statistic type.

Make sense? > I wonder if it would be better if you created a playlist manually in SQL Playlist plugin for this. With the "Advanced with rating" playlist template in SQL Playlist plugin, you can create a playlist with random tracks with a minimum rating of 4. With the "TrackStat Top rated xxx" playlist templates in the SQL Playlist plugin, you can create a playlist with random 400 top rated tracks without affecting other playlists. I don't think changing the behaviour on the built in "Top rated" playlists available automatically like this would be a good idea. The reason is that some users are going to expect it to play the tracks each rating at the time. Personally I only use the rating values 4 3 and 2, which means that 4 is the good songs, other people might use the ratings differently. So making the default "Top rated" playlist randomly mix about the 2000 tracks that have ratings 4 or 5 might not fit for everyone. In the future, the plan is that it should be easy to create a SQL Playlist based on the TrackStat dynamic playlist, this way you can create your own customized version. But this will not be available in a TrackStat version for SlimServer 6.5.

Or is it just the player interface that freezes ? If the problem is just in the interface I don't think it will be worth doing anything about it, the reason is simply that in this case there will be a freeze, so it's just a matter of when it happens. If the sound stops, this is a problem. Do you have the same problem with the standard Random Mix plugin ?

Also please note that it is a wish list and not a release plan, so some features on this list may never be implemented. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21790 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

However, what happens with genre selection for Random Mix playlists? Does it select all genres, or use the genre selection from the Random Mix page? I notice a typo in the plugin settings text: "DynamicPlayList is a plugin which makes it easy to write your own dynamic playlist plugin and it below the same menu as the other playlists" Also, I have a question about the SQL Playlist plugin. My SQL playlists have "limit 10" - is this necessary, as the SQL Playlist/Dynamic Playlist screens have configurable limits (or should the SQL limit always be greater than the upcoming tracks limit?).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Plugin for easy creation of dynamic playlists
I decided to implement a plugin to make it easier to make your own playlists plugins such as SQLPlayList and RandomMix. The main functionallity is: - It collects all different types of playlists below the same menu, today it implements support for Random Mix and saved playlists itself and the SQLPlayList plugin also supports it starting with release 1.5. - To implement your own dynamic playlist and add it to the menu, you need to implement two methods in your plugin: getDynamicPlayLists : Shall return all dynamic playlists implemented by your plugin getNextDynamicPlayListTracks : Will be called when new tracks for a playlist is required and shall return the next tracks All playlist management is handled by the DynamicPlayList plugin so you don't have to handle it in your own plugin. A simple sample implementation can be found in the included README.txt file. The first version of DynamicPlayList plugin is now available for download on 'my download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download). Thanks to mwphoto and gbronzer for the ideas. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21790 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
