Help needed with smart playlists

[schiers]

Hi,

I think I need some help with smart playlists. I use 1018. I have already tested that if I enter a line in the database, it will appear in the web interface. So I am pretty sure that currently the playlist file seems not to be processed.

It is as follows:

# ls -l mt-daapd.playlist



-rw-r--r--  1 root staff 3772 2006-05-11 13:50 /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.playlist



# cat /usr/local/etc/mt-daapd.playlist



"60's Music" {

Year >= 1960 && Year < 1970

}



"Recently Added" {

Date after 2 weeks ago

}



"Rock" {

genre includes "Rock"

}



"Recently Added MP3s" {

date after last month AND file includes ".mp3"

}

I have debuged and read in the code. But no clue. Anybody else?

Best Regards,
Carsten.

the smart playlists are DAAP (iTunes) specific, for the moment.

I found mine also not working when I switched to RSP.

plus, you might want the playlist file WRITEABLE by the user mt-daapd runs under. 😉

Thanks for te hints, fizze.

I will try our to make it writeable. But I think it’s not the thing you noticed, as there will be no entry in the database at all. The playlist file seems not to be processed at all…

yes, the writeable thing is merely so you can edit them through the web interface.

Fizze,

so it is. No change. My playlist file is not processed. Maybe somebody else with a good idea?

Thanks,
Carsten.

Nope, the playlist file is cheerfully ignored in nightlies. it’s stored in the database instead. That’s the “smart” tab on the web interface.

Opps, didn’t see that (fr whatever reason).

Thanks Ron,

I tried to set up some clever (and smart of course) playlists with the web interface and found the field “file” and “date”, amongst others, missing.

Is it just not in the wizard ? or is the functionality different ?

Just not in the wizard. You can dump it right in the text box, though.

I tried that. it gives an error ans sais something like “field expected”.
I tried “date” and or the above example.
