Magic Nodes 4.2 w/ 380 masks & real GUI (2011-07-01)[MM2+]

[willyvds]

I want a magic node with all songs without lyricist. So I have made a filter:
<Lyricist> = ''
But this doesn't give any results. What could be the issue?

I want a magic node with all songs without lyricist.

There are some examples in the Filter Examples folder how to get undefined multi-item fields. Just for you:

Code: Select all

<Multi Lyricist> = ''

OK! Thanks, Willy

First of all, thank you for this script. I don't use it to its full potential as it's very complicated for me, but what I do use is very helpful.

I use this modified Node as a playlist, along with four other variations. Roughly once a month I need to refresh the node to include rerated or new albums and when I right click on the node/playlist the Edit Magic Node, Refresh Magic Node, and Delete Magic Node menu options aren't available for at least one of 6 nodes I have created. I have to then copy one of the other nodes, add a "New" node, make the changes and "add". Does it make any sense that this would happen?


<Group|Name:Album Ratings|Show tracks:No>\xAlbums with avg. track rating >= 3.25 stars with at least 4 songs|Icon:Top level|Filter:Songs.IDAlbum In (SELECT IDAlbum FROM Songs WHERE Rating >= 0 GROUP BY IDAlbum HAVING Avg(Rating) >= 65 AND Count(Rating) >= 4)|Child of:Playlists|Position:Child\<Album|Statistic:Count(All)>

The new, donation-only version has improved work with the Magic nodes placed inside of the Playlists branch. I have a plan to fix some issues in the freely available version as well, but I am not sure when that will happen.

Thank you, I'll check out the donation version.

I'm having trouble getting a node that does this:

50 random tracks from those having 5.0 Stars.


This is what i've got but it not right

SELECT Songs.ID FROM Songs HAVING (Rating BETWEEN 95.0 AND 100.0) ORDER BY Random() LIMIT 50

Hi I have a trouble with a custom node that was working fine until I donated and installed the special donator version of magic nodes.

Here is a screenshot



And here is the error produced:



the actual code is the following:

Code: Select all

Songs.ID = AArtistsSongs.IDSong AND (AArtistsSongs.PersonType = 1 OR AArtistsSongs.PersonType IS NULL) AND AArtistsSongs.IDArtist IN (SELECT ArtistsSongs.IDArtist FROM Songs, ArtistsSongs WHERE Songs.ID = ArtistsSongs.IDSong AND (ArtistsSongs.PersonType = 1 OR ArtistsSongs.PersonType IS NULL) GROUP BY ArtistsSongs.IDArtist HAVING Sum(PlayCounter) = 0) AND Genres.GenreName <> 'podcast'

and the complete mask is the following:

Code: Select all

<Group|Name:Random|Show tracks:No>\600 Random Tracks of never played Artists|Icon:Top level|Filter:Songs.ID = AArtistsSongs.IDSong AND (AArtistsSongs.PersonType = 1 OR AArtistsSongs.PersonType IS NULL) AND AArtistsSongs.IDArtist IN (SELECT ArtistsSongs.IDArtist FROM Songs, ArtistsSongs WHERE Songs.ID = ArtistsSongs.IDSong AND (ArtistsSongs.PersonType = 1 OR ArtistsSongs.PersonType IS NULL) GROUP BY ArtistsSongs.IDArtist HAVING Sum(PlayCounter) = 0) AND Genres.GenreName <> 'podcast' \<Title with artist plus album|Sort order:Random|Top:600|Show rank:Yes>

I don't know why it's not working anymore, could some one help me make it work again ?

You have found a bug, it will be fixed as soon as possible. Thanks for the report.

I have a similar problem. Look forward to the update, and see if if also solves my problem. Or would you want me te share the details now?

Please tell me the details right now, so I could include both fixes in the upgraded version.

It says: "The mask defining this Magic Node produced an error. Edit the mask and try again. (The error probably resides in the Filter or SQL filter qualifiers.)"
But, if I click on the node to open it, it runs fine. So it looks bad, but isn't a real limitation.
I think this problem also started when I installed the donation-required version.

Nieuw restje|Child of:Playlists|Position:Before|Filter:<Played> = 0 AND <Multi Lyricist> = ''\<Album|Top:10|Sort by:Sum(Length)>\<Title|Top:10>

You are right, it is the same bug as the previously mentioned one caused by the Top qualifier applied to the first level of sub-nodes. I have improved that qualifier in the latest releases, but in the same time introduced that new bug.

Look forward to the new version then. Thanks.
