Playlist Glitch - "Last Played" parameter only in DLNA
marko:
I'm a Windows user, but have been following the thread here...
The majority of my listening these days is when driving, via JRemote for IOS.
In there, there are many smartlists that use [Last Played], mostly, in that I do not want to hear the same track in any seven days. Also, most of these smartlists will pick a random selection of tracks within given criteria, and shuffle the results.
MC on the server can run, 24/7, for anything between 14 and 40 days.
Just in case whatever happens here goes 'cross-platform', I, and anyone else using MC in this way, simply cannot have these random, shuffled and [last played] filtered smartlists returning the same files every time they're selected in JRemote.
If there's nothing to worry about here, that's all good, I'll shut up and move along, and if there is, thank you for your time and consideration :)

In my experience, every time a new playlist is selected, it does in fact apply all the criteria and update the playlist. The issue that has frustrated me since MC 30 is that in the effort to continually update the playlist after every song with a Last Played parameter, it hangs the playback to repeat the first song played and never moves on.
I also use JRemote, in a similar method to yours controlling playback from my iPad.
marko:
Yes, and if I understand correctly, this smartlist update is upsetting your playback device.
I only chipped in to highlight the importance of that smartlist cache reset to some of us.
I have no doubt that, if possible, an agreeable solution will be found :)

Talking about it with Matt, the only thing we could think of is to not reset the cache, only for DLNA when MC is the server. That wouldn't affect remotes, MCWS or library server clients but would mean you'd need to restart MC or Media Network to force a fresh browse of smartlists when using MC DLNA server services.
johnkaess:
Would the playlists reset when selecting a different playlist? As long as the playlist resets each time a new playlist is selected, it would solve my issue and i don't see a downside to that for JRemote and Library servers.
