As foosion gave me a hint i was able to create this query for criteria (inspired by one of fabiosparks fancy queries):

mood IS @format<$playing('$meta_sep(mood, AND mood IS )')> AND "$meta_num(mood)" IS @format<$playing('$meta_num(mood)')>

The query works as long as i play atrack that contains the mood tag.
But if you play a track without any value for mood you expect to have an empty query. Instead of that PLT shows me all tracks of my database even that with mood tags.

The problem is so weird that even if you append "AND NOT mood MISSING" all tracks are shown.

Did you try putting NOT mood MISSING AND... as the beginning of the query?

Just had an idea...could you add a feature to create a dynamic playlist based on a tree node. So basically, it would be like an autoplaylist source but with all of the features of playlist tree.

I have only one PLT panel.
In the preferences page I put "Desk.pts" in the file text box but when I exit foobar PLT keeps updating the "playlist-tree-0.pts" instead.
This happens even after I load the "Desk.pts" in the panel and then exit FB.
Is it a bug or not?
If not, what does the "File" textbox is for?

Thanks.

I think i tried both: at beginning and at end. But i will have a look.
However, if a track without any mood tag is played the query shouldn't give back at least  that tracks which have one.

Also i think it should be just an empty query as long as this is the behaviour if you have another tag: f.e. if you have "artist IS @format<$playing('%artist%')>" in criteria and you play a track without artist tag the query is empty.

It doesn't matter if you add "NOT mood MISSING AND" at the beginning or append "AND NOT mood MISSING" at the end. You don't have added this to the bug list in the wiki so far - so let me ask for any news about this. 

I'm using the 'Resume Playback on Restart' function on preferences - which works fine using the Album List component, so I know it works.

But with Playlist tree - on restart it resumes to play a track in the main *Browser* playlist from the beginning. For example if i'm playing the 4th song in my ratings config - on reload it will play the 4th song in the *Browser*...

Have you come across this and know how I can fix this??

Sounds more like a foo_browser problem that playlist tree.... someone here might know a workaround or you could ask in the foo_browser thread.  I no longer use foo_browser so I don't know how to fix that.

You can already do that using @node.

gfngfgf
in the last version of playlist tree
cwbowron as Added notification callback, so other plugins can be notified of tree selections.

do you think it is possible to use this in album art panel ?
thanks

I received this request for foo_uie_albumart, and I'm willing to oblige, but I can't find any information about this notification callback in playlist tree.  I assume that I'll need to add something to album art panel's code to handle the notification, but again, I need to know what to handle.  Thanks.

class callback_node
{
public:
   virtual bool   get_entries( pfc::list_base_t<metadb_handle_ptr> & list ) const = 0;
   virtual bool   is_leaf() const     = 0;
   virtual bool   is_folder() const   = 0;
   virtual bool   is_query() const    = 0;
   virtual int    get_entry_count() const = 0;
   virtual void   get_name( pfc::string_base & out ) const = 0; 
};

class NOVTABLE node_select_callback : public service_base 
{
public:
   virtual void on_node_select( const callback_node * node ) = 0;

   FB2K_MAKE_SERVICE_INTERFACE_ENTRYPOINT(node_select_callback);
};

const GUID node_select_callback::class_guid = 
{ 0x9c2ae3c3, 0xdc04, 0x4042, { 0xad, 0xf3, 0x88, 0x84, 0x11, 0x7b, 0x49, 0x55 } };

[b]Label:[/b]
PlayedThisMonth- @format<%_itemcount%> - @format<%_play_length%>

[b]Source:[/b]
@playlist<Temp>

[b]Criteria:[/b]
$substr(%last_played%,1,7)  IS $substr(%cwb_systemdate%,1,7)

[b]Format:[/b]
%title% - $substr(%last_played%,1,7) - $substr(%cwb_systemdate%,1,7)

Try this in Criteria:

"$substr(%last_played%,1,7)"  IS @format<$substr(%cwb_systemdate%,1,7)>

I want to create a Genre query which lists the genres, and then the styles as sub-folders (if it exists) and artists and so on as subfolders there again. I've managed to do that without any problem. However, for songs that have multiple genres (e.g. Jazz; Ambient), the folder will show up as Jazz, Ambient. What I want to do is to list that song under both Jazz and Ambient. How do I do this?

Also, I want the sub-folders (styles) to list before the artists. As it looks now, it could be

- Jazz
--> Fourplay
--> Smooth Jazz

where fourplay is an artist and smooth jazz is a style (sub-folder) which contains more artists.

jepp, works fine, this must be the one combination i never tried, and i tried much of them.

Can you explain in short when i have to use '"', when "@format<>" and when none of them?



Thanks a lot

Use %<genre>% instead of %genre%.
