Last.FM sometimes has problems.

But try turning everything off, including the network, and then restarting.

32.0.58 (64bit) Windows

Since two days, I can play only one song, then JR tries to reconnect to Last.FM. I am granting access, but it seems it is not stored. JR freezes, I need to force-cancel JR and re-start.
After unticking the submissal of scrobbles to Last.FM, JR is working again.

It seems the issue is caused by the Last.FM-plugin.

If you open a View and first Column is Media Type having 3 Values: e.g. AUDIO, DATA, IMAGE:

Is it possible to autoselect AUDIO per default if you open the View?

Yesterday I created a bare bones library on the Mac using the MC defaults but still using the NAS files.

This morning all was well and it is not duplicating the files as above.

So I suspect it is something with the customized views (almost all in Classical music album displaying) in the library that causes so many bugs. 

I had been using that library on my mac as far back as MC 30 or 31 without issue.   

I am thinking it may be prudent to start from scratch although that would be a major pain.

You can do that with ZStats, as mentioned above.

- create the calculated [RatingOr1] field as mentioned above
- create a normal field called eg. [AlbumRating] to hold the result
- enter this code into the [RunAfter] section of ZStats.ini:

setfield(AlbumRating, FormatNumber(ListMath(FieldQuery(Artist - Album /(Year/), [Artist - Album (Year)], RatingOr1, 1, 1),3),1))

Then run ZStats once to calculate the field once for all files. You can re-run it periodically to recalculate - maybe create a Scheduled Task to run it every night or once a week/month, depending on your needs.

Other settings for ZStats.ini (also set your MCWS user/pass there):
MCFilter=[Media Type]=[Audio]           # filter to limit processing to a given set of files
UpdateStats=0                           # 1 to update stats as defined in [Stats] sections, 0 to disable
UpdatePlaylists=0                       # 1 to enable playlist processing, 0 to disable
RunExpressions=1                        # 1 to execute [RunBefore] and [RunAfter] expression, 0 to disable
CreateFields=0

That would make sense, as any media played in an embedded web browser page doesn't go through MC's audio engine unless using the WDM driver... but as stated in another topic the WDM driver doesn't work with DLNA/UPnP so it's a non-starter for those situations.

In my expereince it depends on the streaming service.

I stream Radio Paradise over DLNA every day and it works fine, as does Radio JRiver.

But sometimes if what is selected under Streaming that spawns a webpage in MC such as BBC World Service then it wont play over DLNA.

Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could help me write an expression for the shuffle function that would help me to control it a little better. I want to make the shuffle function a little more listener-friendly by inserting interludes, skits, and instrumentals in-between disparate genres so that the jump from something like classical to hip-hop seems less abrupt.

The expression would function as follows and build a playlist using the following parameters after starting the shuffle function:

If [Genre A] is playing and [Genre B] will play next, instead insert [Genre C, D, or E] first before playing [Genre B].

Do you think an expression like this is possible? Please let me know your thoughts.

Regards,
