Title: Help with simple smartlist please
Post by: Marty3d on March 05, 2007, 05:25:34 am
Hi!

Trying to do a simple smartlist now that skip count works in a better way, I can't figure it out. Call me stupid!

All i want is to get files with more skip count than or equal to play count, wouldn't be too hard would it?

[skip count]=>=[Number Plays]

This unfortunately display all files...:(

Anyone up for it?

Thanks!
/Martin

Hi!

Did the way [skip count] works change recently? If it did, I missed it. Could you provide a link or quote for us?

I've not done any work with [skip count] at all because MC considered a track to be 'skipped' if the stop button was pressed with less than 50% played.

To answer your question:
You can do this with expressions:

[=isequal([skip count],[number plays],6)]=1 can be used in a search list pane, the search bar, or in a smartlist search rule, and returns all tracks where the [skip count] is greater than, or equal to [number plays]. Note that this also returns all those tracks that have never been played, so you might want to consider adding a -[number plays]=[] rule in there too.

You could also use it in the form of:
if(isequal([skip count],[number plays],6),skipped more than played,played more than skipped) in an expression based pane.

Thanks alot! I thought it would be easier...:)

As I said in this thread (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=39309.msg267491#msg267491), the skipping occurs not only when you stop a file, but also when you press the Next button. It didn't do that before, did it?
