hello

I am seriously loving this plug-in but I am running into 1 problem.

My attempts at formatting the labels are failing.
I am trying to display the labels in different colours than the normal text.
I am trying @format<$rgb(my colour)> before I display the name of the label, but I just see the HEX colour code for the colour I enter.

I am using v0.9.3 and the latest version of this plugin.
Any help would be appreciated.
Has anybody got this to work?

$puts(decreaserange,15)
$puts(sysmonth,$num($substr(%systemdate%,6,7),2))
$puts(sysday,$num($substr(%systemdate%,9,10),2))
$puts(sysyear,$num($substr(%systemdate%,1,4),4))
$puts(month,$mul(30,$get(sysmonth)))
$puts(day,$get(sysday))
$puts(year,$mul(365,$get(sysyear)))
$puts(date,$add($get(month),$get(day),$get(year)))
$puts(symbol,$char(9608))
$puts(fmonth,$mul(30,$num($substr(%first_played%,6,7),2)))
$puts(fday,$num($substr(%first_played%,9,10),2))
$puts(fyear,$mul(365,$num($substr(%first_played%,1,4),4)))
$puts(fdate,$add($get(fmonth),$get(fday),$get(fyear)))
$if($stricmp($get(fdate),0),$puts(fdate,$get(date)))
$puts(daterange,$sub($get(date),$get(fdate)))
$puts(fix,$div($get(daterange),$get(decreaserange)))
$if(%play_count%,$puts(rating,%play_count%),$puts(rating,0))
$if($greater(%play_count%,5),$puts(rating,$sub(5,$get(fix))),
$puts(rating,$sub($get(rating),$get(fix))))
$if($greater(-5,$get(rating)),$puts(rating,-5))
$if($greater($get(rating),5),$puts(rating,5))
$get(rating)

Did you try to uncheck the "reverse" option?

Yes,without any result.My question is:if you calculate a vlue (rating) ,how can you access it in other
playlist tree fields (ex:population order)?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but I've noticed that my Playlist Tree queries tend to keep track of dead files, even after they've been deleted and are no longer present in the foobar database.  Is this being addressed?

Thanks.

Format: %<artist>%|$if(%tracknumber%,[[%date% - ]%album%' [ '@quote<@format<$avg(%rating%)>>' ]'|],)[[CD %discnumber%|]%tracknumber%. ]%title%

1. after finishing all tracks Title stick to last played track %title% and sub-items stick to tracks of last played track %artist%.
2. if I exit foobar and restart it, then Title become "Now playing: Silent", but sub-items remain unchanged - showing tracks of last played track %artist%.

Try changing adding quotations marks to the %rating%, so that it looks like:

@quote<@format<$avg('%rating%')>>

The now playing automatic refreshes occur only when a new song plays, so when all songs are done playing it will leave whatever was last in there.

It's seems illogical to me. If trese is no tracks playing $playing must return nothing, IMHO.

You mean that foobar doesn't generate any distinguishing events in case of finishing playback?

And, why, in case of exiting and starting foobar (after playback finished), $playing('%title%') returns nothing, but $playing('%artist%') return, obviously, previuos %artist%?

I'm using the 3 default queries (Playlists, Artist, Album) along with a Static folder (Ratings) that contains 5 queries (for %rating% 1 - 5).

I only want to display the %_itemcount% for the 5 %rating%'s queries.

$select(%rating%,1 - bad,2 - bla,3 - ok,4 - good,5 - great '('@format<'%_itemcount%'>')')|%artist%-%title%

$sub(999,%rating%)|%artist%-%title%

I haven't really processed your whole post yet, but why not just using one query that sorts them into rating rather 5 separate queries?
