Strange little glitch. I try to have playlists for podcasts with a 'transmission' date within a given month. So have a 2017-01 playlist, 2017-02, etc, upt to 2017-12.
Using the smart list 'date' 'is between' criteria. So, is within 01/10/2107 and 01/11/2017, for example.
Puzzling thing is that YYYY-10 (i.e. October of any month) always comes out empty. Instead all October's podcasts end up in the November playlist. As if it thinks N/10/YYYY is in fact between 1/11/YYYY and 1/12/YYYY.
Problem only occurs for October, no other month.
Have resorted to just having a Oct-Nov playlist and combining both months. Not a big deal, but it's a strange kind of bug.
(all dates in DD/MM/YYYY format, in case threre's confusion)

Re: Odd bug with smart playlists and dates
Which version of MediaMonkey? What are the exact Criteria in use?
Also check Any or All setting.

Re: Odd bug with smart playlists and dates
version 4.1.17.1840
Advanced smart playlist option
search podcasts
Match All criteria
date is between 01/11/2016 01/12/2016
playlist is mainpodcastsynclist (which is just a playlist of all podcasts)
gives me a playlist of all podcasts with dates between 01/10/2016 and 01/12/2016. I don't get why it includes October dated podcasts, given the search criteria.
Same thing seems to happen with 2017 (though don't have any dated November yet in that instance)

Re: Odd bug with smart playlists and dates
Indeed, just doing an advanced search for podcasts between 01/11/2014 and 01/12/2014 (no other criteria) returns podcasts with dates of October 2014 as well as November.
