Using CTRL-J shows MC is up to date with 32.0.42. Manually updated and Windows Defender prevented running. Clicked through and installed.

I just updated the update the Latest channel.  Thanks.

The syntax for the left side is [=expression]; this expression can return any value which you then compare using the normal Smartlist operators. So for an expression that returns 0 or 1, you may do [=expression]=1, but for other cases you may want [=expression]="English","United States" or [=expression]=>3 for instance.

Jappie - You cracked it, even though the image for MainFrame TopBorder looks very strange. Those rounded corners show up on my Win and Mac pcs and I like your subtle use of colour on some of the buttons.

Unfortunately there is a problem; the CARRADIO section is missing from the main.xml file in V1.7 resulting in MC using the default buttons instead of the ones for your skin.

P.S you can remove the "TheSkin.jpg" image from the skin folder, but don't delete it from you pc, that image used to be used on a now obsolete "Skin Manager" form/window.

If and when you are ready to upload it to the MC Servers send me a forum message and I'll go through what you need to do to be able to submit it, which will include supplying an Image hence the suggestion about not removing that "TheSkin.jpg" image from your pc.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I always wondered what the []=1 was for

Please add some details.  It's not possible to know where you are.  What page are you on?  Key?  Registration Code?

I have an issue where i go through the update steps in adding the password key after i get the message asking do i want to enable the key. I get to the JRiver update key page etc' and all seems ok but then on reboot i get the same pop up. What am I doing wrong? Do i have to put a key in the actual JRiver program file folder? Thx

Out of the 65 skins I tried it is only the Purity Skin that has a text/foreground contrast problem on the Cloudplay initial page, though there are a few that do have a visibility/contrast problem with the colour of the "New" and "Popular" links but that could be fixed by using the same text colour the "Listener Supported" and "Continue" links use; plus there are some skins, especially ones with white backgrounds, where there is a visibility problem with the "Cloud" image, something that could be cured by giving it a 1 pixel wide black border.

I agree with HPBME that the logical change to the Cloudplay initial page would be to use the ViewHeader colours for the top section and the List colours for the body section,
Like him I would like to see every view use the skins main.xml List colours but there is one problem, despite multiple requests  for "Display View" to be changed to using the main.xml List colours instead of Pure White Text on a Pure Black Background; a colour combination that no Standard View Skin uses in in the main.xml List section, that chnge has never happened.

N.B. There is a error on that initial page in this line - Cloudplay content is used to build Radio JRiver stations. Radio JRiver station buttons are to the right of the search window above - the "search window" it is referring is on a subsequent page, the only visible search bar/window on the initial page is the one in the player bar.


P.S. Although the Purity Skin used to be one of the skins that was installed when the user installs MC or an MC Update, it was removed from the list of Bundled Skins around the time the ModernCards Skins got added to that list.

I import new media files via Drives & Devices, not Library > Import, so am not an expert on that process, but your entry in the 'Apply these tags' section doesn't look like any of the examples quoted in https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Tag_on_Import.

Does "Filename (path):\\192.168.0.124\DriveD2\Music\[Artist]\[Album]" actually move your imported media files to that new location?

You need to use the Custom rule in the Add Rules section and build your own test that way.

Custom: [=compare([last played],>,load(gvRandom)]]=1

Or something like that.  It quite often helps to add an expression column to your view and work on this expression there until you have it right, and then move it into the smartlist rules, otherwise you spend a lot of time fiddling with that dialogue while you work through the code.

The stuff in the [] is your test - the =1 outside is the smartlist test for positivity, ie if your rule is true and the result should be included.
