Autoplaylist with auto/manual playlist fails [RESOLVED 1283]

Post by MDominik13 »

I create autoplaylists in order to roll up the contents of child playlists (criteria = playlist). If the criteria for an autoplaylist playlist is all manual or all auto playlists, the autoplaylist works. If the autoplaylist criteria contains an auto and manual playlist, no songs are returned.

Hi,

It works for me.

Could it be that you've set the AutoPlaylist to match _All_ of the criteria instead of _Any_ of the criteria?

I'm only using one item for the criteria (mulitple playlists checked) so all/any doesn't matter. Also, these lists have not been changed for quite a while and just stopped working when I starting using thse test builds.

I did some more testing and found it's only a problem when the autoplaylist in the criteria is a rollup of other autoplaylists. Here's an example of my playlist tree. The "Kroq" node does not work unless I remove either "Countdowns" or all of the manual lists from the criteria:
-- Kroq {AUTO - ROLLS UP "Countdowns", "Labor Day 2007", "Memorial Day 2006"
-- -- Countdowns {AUTO - ROLLS UP "80s" AND "90s"}
-- -- -- 80s {AUTO - ROLLS UP CHILDREN}
-- -- -- -- 1980 {MANUAL LIST}
-- -- -- -- 1981 {MANUAL LIST}
-- -- -- -- etc.....
-- -- -- 90s {AUTO - ROLLS UP CHILDREN}
-- -- -- -- 1990 {MANUAL LIST}
-- -- -- -- 1991 {MANUAL LIST}
-- -- -- -- etc.....
-- -- Labor Day 2007 {MANUAL LIST}
-- -- Memorial Day 2006 {MANUAL LIST}

I installed the latest build and can now see nested lists. However, I am now getting an "Access Violation" error when selecting the "Classification" tab in the track property window. I submitted the error report when prompted but let me know if you need anything else.

Hate to be a royal pain but it turns out this isn't resolved. In all the testing I was doing, I forgot to change the autoplaylist back to its original settings. Once I did, it again failed to return and songs.

Dominik,
although I see where the Access violation is in the log I still cannot repro and cannot realize how this could happen.

Could compress your MM.DB
Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\MediaMonkey\MM.DB
Windows Vista:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\MediaMonkey\MM.DB

and send me: ls<at>mediamonkey<dot>com
so that I could reproduce directly on your DB and be sure that the fix is correct?

Thank you.

I verified that this is now resolved in the latest build (1283).

Thanks!
