Overview

This plugin makes it possible generate static playlists based on information in the SqueezeCenter database such as ratings and played tracks. The idea is to make it easy to generate a static playlist which you then can edit and modify as you like. Users that really want a dynamic playlist should use SQL Playlist plugin or the bundled Random Mix plugin. It's also possible to make playlists that excludes tracks in another playlist, for example make your own static playlist and exclude all low rated tracks from it automatically.

If you also install Custom Scan the static playlists can be re-generated every time you perform a rescan. It will appear as a new scanning module called "Playlist Generator" in the Custom Scan web interface.

Installation

  1. Remove any previous version of Playlist Generator from the SqueezeCenter Plugins directory if you have manually installed it earlier (this is not needed if you have installed it through Extension Downloader)
  2. Goto SqueezeCenter Settings/Advanced/Extension Downloader and select to install Playlist Generator. You might need to add Erland's repository to see it, see here for more information regarding this: SqueezeCenter_Repositories. If you don't want to install it through Extension Downloader, you can also download it from the download page and manually unzip the new version in the SqueezeCenter Plugins directory
  3. Optionally download and install Custom Scan plugin
