    Hi,
    My apologies for this basic question, but where are smart playlists stored in builds post 0.2.4? I’ve just upgraded to mt-daapd 0.3.0_pre1376 on Gentoo and noticed that none of the old smart playlists “survived”. This I imagine is to do with the new sql base for versions post 0.2.4. The new smart playlists are easy to create, but I can’t seem to figure out where they are stored.
    Thanks for your help,
    David

    They actually live in the database. You can look at them using a sqlite browser, and can back them up using the sqlite command to dump the “playlists” table.

    I think they are going to end up moving back out of the db, though.

    Thanks for your reply, Ron. When they move out of the database again, will this happen automatically? BTW, thanks for all your hard work – when upgrading from 0.2.4 I was really impressed by the new control interface. Great stuff!

    Yes, I hope to migrate stuff right out. Probably won’t use the same 0.2.4 style, as the parser is completely different, but I anticipated pulling the data out of the db and populating the playlist the first time.

    Cool. Any plans yet as to when this will happen?

    I think the roku 1.1 is about done, then that’s the next thing I’m going to do. Concurrently with working on UPnP.

    Thanks, Ron. Two more questions regarding the new smart playlists.
    Are the e.g. genre descriptions case sensitive? ie: does it make a difference whether it is “tribal techno” or “Tribal Techno”?
    How do I define what used to be “Date after 3 weeks ago”, ie the tracks that were added over the last 3 weeks?
    Cheers,
    David

    They are case sensitive, but if you do an “include”, then it isn’t.

    So:

    genre includes “Tribal Techno” gets both “tribal techno” and “Tribal Techno”.

    as far as the date one, something like:

    time_added after 3 weeks before today

    or

    time_added > 3 weeks before today

    Eventually, I’ll make “ago” a synonym for “before today”, but once you know how they go, it’s okay.

    More details here, btw: http://wiki.fireflymediaserver.org/Smart_playlists
