Skip missing files?

(1/2) > >>

avpman:
I have several missing audio files in my library (the reason is for another discussion, I'll eventually find them). JR Playlists annoyingly stop playing and throws up a missing file error when it comes across one. Is there a way to tell JR to skip to the next selection in a playlist if a file is missing? I can't find a program option to skip missing files, ignore errors, or a smart list rule to exclude missing files. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

I don't know about skipping missing files in JRemote but how about finding the missing files in MC which is easily done with a properly set up Smart Playlist.
Then you can decide to either delete those from the library or associate them with the correct media file and repair the missing links.
This, to me, sounds like a more satisfying solution than just ignoring the fact that there are library entries that have no media associated with them.

Right, but "I can't find ... a smart list rule to exclude missing files." Or if I could make a smart playlist of all the files not found, then I could tag them and exclude those tagged as such from my other smart playlists. Any ideas about what conditions to use?
For clarification, this isn't for JRemote but smart lists in MC27. Sorry, I didn't realize JR in my original post could also mean JRemote instead of JRiver!
Thanks in advance!

Look under Smart Playlists, there should be one called "Task -- Missing Files".
If it isn't there use the following rule: [=IsMissing()]=1
Good luck, hope this helps

Ahhhh, perfect. Thanks for the help. I greatly appreciate it. Dang, I have my work cut out for me 1677 files!
Well, I'm not going anyplace on New Year's eve anyway!
