I got some answers from Ron which has led me to rewrite once again, this time for rsp protocol. It turns out that the daap protocol does not support querys on playlist level, so it really is a must to move to rsp.

I’m still waiting for the document on rsp, which I accidently deleted from my inbox, so I’ll have a new version soon.

According to Ron it would be 2-3 times faster as well 🙂

But it works in “playlist.html” so let’s look in the source for that?

o umlaut is hex C3B6 in the database so the query is ‘daap.songartist:Bj%C3%B6rk’

the SQL used was

bash-3.2# sqlite3 /opt/var/mt-daapd/songs3.db

SQLite version 3.4.1

Enter ".help" for instructions

sqlite> select distinct(hex(distinct(artist))) from songs where artist like 'Bj%';

sqlite> .quit

Just on a sidenote, the SQL query isnt the same as the playlist.html query.

...where artist like 'Bj%';

really shows all songs by all artists that start with “Bj”. Results may not matter much, but a “like” certainly is less performant than an exact match.

You don’t happen to have the document on rsp queries?

[sonichouse]

Hi Fizze,

thanks for that. I wrote the sql using the like predicate because I couldn’t get the ö to work in the query for some reason, and I knew that she was the only artist in my collection starting with ‘Bj’.

But yes, I accept the like clause will create more work for the database.

I got the queries working. This new (0.4) version uses rsp and is still crippled compared to the 0.2 version. Basic functionality though.

😆 yes, it works – great stuff 8)

Hi Bo,

might be asking too much here, my PSP connects, but never retrieves the library listing.

I think the PSP is limited to Flash Player 6.

Is this a no go ?

[Bo Mellberg]

Please download it again and try. I published it using Flash 6 and it didn’t complain so perhaps it works. It still works for me, so I can live with Flash 6…

Since my last post I wiped SUSE off my server, installed Ubuntu Server and all the software I use plus Firefly and this thing worked right away 😀

SUSE will never darken my door again!

Plus, the library loaded in no time at all – I guess compression wasn’t working on the version I was using before.

Great work Bo!

Any chance of a search and custom playlist?
