Title: Smartlist newbie question
Post by: AJvR on February 13, 2021, 10:11:30 am

Hi,

I am currently testing out JRiver and like it very much, however I have trouble creating a smartlist. I have created a playlist called 'Party' and within that playlist there are tracks that I gave 5 stars. Now I want to create a smartlist that only plays 5 star tracks from the 'Party' playlist. Unfortunately it does not seem to behave as I expected, as no tracks are showing up in the smartlist

What do I miss here?

Thanks in advance.

Is Party a Playlist or a Playlist Group?
If it's a Group, select "is any" instead of "is all" (or else you'll only get files that belong to ALL playlists under Party)

Party is just a playlist.

Can't reproduce, works fine for me.
Is there more than 1 list called "Party" ?
Check the contents of the Playlist in Detail view, make sure there are in fact files with 5 stars?

Other than that... no idea, sorry. It should work.

Thanks for your help, I restarted JRiver, and klicked 'apply' again and now it works.  :)

I know this is off topic - but its not really - reminds me of when our touring coach broke down on a roundabout - all because the computer controlled doors failed to shut properly - after 20 mins (on the roundabout) trying to get the doors to close correctly with out success I said try turning off the coach and turning it on again. I don't need to tell you it was successful and I was hero of the day - well of the moment really.☺
