I have a question on the subject of “smart playlist”
If I create a smart playlist and later add tracks to the collection, will these tracks be automatically added to this list with the parameters of the smart list?
That’s actually the point of a smart list so that you don’t have to manually add everything to certain playlists for new tracks
or do I have to run TuneUP PRIME anew every time with new tracks?
Sadly it’s impossible make it work like it does in Rekordbox and Traktor.
Part of the problem is that Engine puts a write lock on the database while it’s open so it’s impossible to do anything until Engine is closed.
What I can maybe do is allow the app to be run via a shortcut which just updates the smart playlists instead of opening the UI. That would save a few clicks.
Another option could be having tuneup run in the background and automatically update your playlists whenever you close Engine.
At the end of the day though, it takes less than 30 seconds to open tuneup and generate your playlists.
I had another question:
If I move a playlist that I created with Tuneup in the main directory into a subfolder in Engine - is that possible or does it cause problems?
Or do I have to specify the subfolder in the editor when creating the playlist?
If so, what should the command line look like?
If I want more than one smartlist- do I have to config them in the same tuneup.yaml file? or gets every smartlist his own .yaml file?
Hello, I’m new here and unfortunately I don’t know the programming language.
I would like to create a smartlist with the following parameters:
Rating: *** stars and comment = BLUE
Maybe someone could post the command line for a moment, that would be very nice
For example, I don’t know how to enter the number of stars in the rating - as a number?
What should the command look like for a desired decade, for example 2009-2011?
Currently, all your smart playlists are generated at the root. You can move them wherever, but Engine might have problems if multiple playlists with the same name exist. I’m going to add support for generating the playlists under whatever folders you want.
You shouldn’t be using the command line. Just launch the app.
Just one file. Make sure you’ve read the examples.
I just discovered there’s actually a bug with filtering on rating. The way you currently have to filter on the rating field is a bit weird too. I’ll get a patch out to fix this.
Once the patch is out, this is how you would do this (I’ll expand the examples in the patch too):
Just wanted to update that I’ve been on a bit of a break for personal reasons. Apologies for the radio silence. I hope to be back to providing updates within a month.
Been a bit longer than expected. Don’t worry, the project is not dead.
I’m going to EDC for a much needed escape and plan to release an update shortly after to ensure full compatibility with Engine 2.0. There’s no known issues with the release yet, but I also haven’t tested it since a few betas ago.
Lastly, the license server is currently having issues on the host’s side of things. If you are having trouble activating, please email your license key to shayded@shayded.com and I’ll promptly respond with an activated license file.
That is true, and hopefully one day that will change, given that I am pretty sure Engine OS runs on Linux on the hardware (I mean what else these days would it run on), and Engine DJ uses QT library and SVG. I run Engine DJ through wine on Linux, although I still have issues I need to weed out.
Good to know you would be willing to do that; I’ll let you know once ti have Engine DJ working better.
