Do you know if I can open a playlist that I created with SQLPlaylist in
DPLC for modification?

Last night, I had to rebuild my entire LMS setup because of a power
outage. For the moment I am sticking with DPL 3 until I have enough time

I'm having an issue with DPL that has been happening intermittently

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

I 've been using the new versions of DPL and Custom skip for months and
really enjoying the new functionality. In particular, I've been loving
the built-in playlist that allows you pick random songs with multiple
selected genres and also select a decade. My only question is whether

Glad to see this new thread as I am one of those folks who can't code to
save my life. My holy grail is a context menu that uses an existing
static playlist and allows me to choose a subset of that playlist that
chooses multiple genres and/or a year. If anyone wants to tackle that, I

I see that a new update was uploaded today. Can we hear more about what
was changed/fixed, and how it might affect any existing playlists?
Thanks.

I just followed the directions to transition to the new (and properly
named) versions of DPL and Custom Skip. I'm having two issues that I
can't seem to fix.
1. When I click on SQL Playlist, I get the following error: "ERROR!!!

Yes, it worked this time. Testing whether it actually works is difficult
since I have to use one of my playlists and wait for it to skip a song
that is in the list to skip. From one test it seems that it is not
working. I played a custom playlist that I
I'm trying to test out the revised (unsupported) version of CustomSkip
