[REQ] Filter in Smart Playlist: Compare field with field

Post by Andre_H »

Hi there,

Feature request: In Autoplaylists, i can compare a field against a value ("artist"=XYZ), but i can't compare field against field (tracks where "artist"<>"album artist", or "rating"<>"custom field 7" ... or something like that).

I cannot estimate how complex this implementation would be, but it could be helpful here and there.

This would be a fantastic feature. How do we push to make this happen?
TIA

LowLander moved it. I got excited when I saw your thread, and was keen to cross-promote my pet beef about MM5. I forgot that I had already requested the same thing a month or two ago ... and in 2020 and in 2019, etc :)

It is here now.

FYI: This is already available with the customNodes sample script. It is in the sampleScripts subfolder of the MM5 install fodler.
After installing access the Custom nodes > 'Tracks with Artist different from Album Artist'

How do I accomplish: installing access the Custom nodes?

Go to Tools > Addons, use Add and browse to the CustomNodes.mmip in the SampleScripts folder where MediaMonkey is installed.

Good point. :D However, I did not find any file CustomNodes.mmip there. Also not under:
https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/brow ... amonkey-5/

Of course I have searched for it before! The folder: g:\MM 5 PORTABLE\SampleScripts\customNodes\ is of course present. Does CustomNodes exist under a different name?

Does it maybe already show as installed under Tools > Addons?
