Hello,

I am trying to create a smart playlist to play only the most recent episode of a podcast. I am fortunate that the CBC (The Canadian NPR) makes a podcast of it most recent hourly news and its supper time news.

I have subscribed to the hourly news podcast, only keeping the 1 most recent episode and would like to create a one button playlist to play the most recent hourly news.

I created this smart playlist -

[Media Type]=[Audio] [Genre]=[Podcast] [Album]=[CBC Hourly News] ~n=1 ~sort=[Date Modified]

but I am not getting consistently the most recent episode.

Once I get this one playlist right, I'll be able to create a playlist with various "broadcasts" to create my own morning show/wake up information package.

Any ideas ?

put the sort before the limit. that should work.

I'll try that  Thanks..

Hello,

Well putting the sort before the limit worked to ensure a consistent result, but it is only showing the oldest in the list, not the newest.

How do I reverse the sort parameter ?

Thanks.

put -d behind it so
 ~sort=[Date Modified]-d


btw: search for posts from marko. he is the big guy for smartlists. also somewere in the wiki you can find some interesting examples of what is possible.
