Title: Smartlists
Post by: larryrup on August 23, 2018, 10:43:44 am

Hi All:

Can someone provide some advice.  I copied and modified a string from a very helpful topic on smartlists that puts together a playlist based on  applying a percentage selection of the rating.  That string looks like this

[Media Type]=[audio] ~mix=1000,35%,{[Rating]=>4},35%,{[Rating]=3},30%,{[Rating]=0} ~nodup=[Artist],[Name]

My attempt is meant to select 35% of tracks rated 4 or 5, 35% of tracks rated 3 and 30% of tracks rated 0 (I mean this to be no starts....unrated).  The result never includes  unrated tracks.  The rest of the string seems to select the other tracks by rating correctly, although I didn't add them up :).

I've also tried this: "=<0" and this "<1" this "= " and this "=".  None of these included unrated tracks.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Larry

I'm trying your smartlist and it's pulling in unrated tracks no problem.

Maybe make sure you're running the latest version?

Thanks Matt.

After I posted, I change the string to this and it worked.

[Media Type]=[audio] ~mix=1000,20%,{[Rating]=5},25%,{[Rating]=4},30%,{[Rating]=3},25%,{[Rating]=0} ~nodup=[Artist],[Name]

Think I'm at latest version.   This likely had nothing to do with fixing it, but works now so thanks!

I'm admittally poor at these strings.  I'm not even sure where strings are defined   Is there a particular scripting language that define many of them? I'm no programmer but do like to play pretend!

Regards
