Re: xPLRioNet query generation

[JONATHAN PAYNE <jgpayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tony,

Another idea:

One dynamic playlist I'd love is to be able to select all the albums less
than X days old. I quite often like to listen to my five (for example) most
recently bought CDs and at the moment  I actually have them perched on top
of the CD player (shock horror!) and do it that way :-)

Cheers,
Jon

p.s. thanks very much for xplrionet :-)

Hi all,

Thought it might be an idea to add to scanner.xml lines in which you can
define dynamic playlist queries?

My thoughts are a record structure as follows:

top="20" days="120" />

Title= is a description for the web (and local device) interfaces

Device= is either * for all, or the xpl name for a single device
(where stats are involved * would be all stats, device name would be stats
for that device only)

Artist=, album=, track=, genre= would be valid sql comparison strings e.g.
A% %and% etc

Top= means top n records in the stats (either all or per device)

days= is how many of the previous days stats to calculate top n from

If top/days are missing then the query generated would be a straight
forward
selection, rather than based on stats (obviously)

Thoughts/comments please?

Many thanks
Tony
