Further testing revealed that the problem is because default playlists aren't restricted by Type (e.g. 1 highly rated movie can cause nothing to appear in the playlist) They should be restricted to type=Music (the only downside is for Classical music lovers--any suggested alternative approach?). |
|
|
So the issue is that you changed 'Search:' dropdown box to 'Video' and therefore it doesn't found any tracks for the auto-playlist? We could add (for some of default auto-playlists) the second auto-playlist rule: Type is [Music, Classical Music] - this would be probably applied only for these two default auto-playlists: Favorites - 1 Audio CD Worth (74 minutes) Favorites - 1 MP3 CD Worth (650 MB) ? Although I believe these auto-playlists are little bit outdated and could be removed from the default auto-playlists? |

No--the issue is that the default auto-playlists are set to Search:Entire Library. i.e. in the default configuration, no tracks can show up if a video happens to match the criteria (i.e. which occurs if a video is highly rated). (the 'Sort order' is a red herring--the only reason it triggered the bug is because it happened to change the order in such a way that a video appeared at the top of the playlist). I wouldn't bother deleting the playlists right now--there are still a lot of cars that play MP3/audio CDs. As to how to solve this: probably as you suggested (Type=Music, Classical Music) OR Search:Music (Search:Music has the downside of not including classical, but the upside that the view is optimized for Music). |

OK, fixed in build 1455 by changing Search: Music for these two auto-playlists. |
