Re: [Bug-gnupod] smartplaylist checkrule=both bug ?

Hi Stuart,

This would create an empty Smart playlist anyway because
you limited it to 0 (limitval="") items (limititem="song").

It should be there (i tested this with my iPod mini and the playlist
does showup (but is empty.. as expected))

That's an iPod limitation: You can't sort a SPL with checkrule="spl".
You'll *need* to specify a limit. I know: it's nonsense..

Could you please try this playlist? :

<smartplaylist name="SmartPlaylist Name" checkrule="both" liveupdate="1" 
limititem="gigabyte" limitval="55" limitsort="album" matchany="0" >
  <spl action="eq" field="playcount" string="0" />
</smartplaylist>


This will create 'SmartPlaylist Name' and include all songs with a playcount == 
0 , sort them by album and limit
it to 55 gigabyte.

Regards,
 Adrian
