Sugarcube is installed (unzipped in)C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\server\Plugins\SugarCube

CUT

Found out that the install path should be:

C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\server\Slim\Plugin\SugarCube


And not:

C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\server\Plugins\SugarCube

All is running fine now.

Nope. Don't install any plugin in there. It will be deleted when you update SBS next time.

> And not:
> C:\Program Files\Squeezebox\server\Plugins\SugarCube

That's where it should go.

Or even better: you shouldn't need to care, if cparker decided to provide it in a repository...

Than it won't work at all, so tell me what's wrong in my case please.

Hi,

as more or less written above, i use SugarCube actually without Dynamicplaylist integration. Nevertheless, sometimes i want to hear a dynamic playlist without Sugarcube. The 'problem' was that i had to deactivate Sugarcube before that, since Sugarcube added the next tracks instead of the DynamicPlaylistPlugin.

Therefore i changed the code of Sugarcube a little bit and it seems to work. Base was the code of Phil.

Nevertheless, i gues, that now also the Dynamicplaylist integration of sugarcube won't work anymore, but that could be improved

The advantage is, that i can leave SugarCube enabled while playing DynamicPlaylists without disturbing each other

# Now into the fun, we have checked that we should be active and done checks for shuffle and various "noise".
                                my $quicksong = Slim::Player::Playlist::url($client);.
                                if ($quicksong =~ m/.pls/i || $quicksong=~ m/http:/i || $quicksong=~ m/.asx/i || $quicksong=~ m/rtmp:/i || $qu
                                return;.
                                }

# -----> i just added this to check if a Dynamicplalist is active or not <--------
                                my $playlist = undef;
                                if(UNIVERSAL::can("Plugins::DynamicPlayList::Plugin","getCurrentPlayList")) {
                                no strict 'refs';
                                $playlist = eval { &{"Plugins::DynamicPlayList::Plugin::getCurrentPlayList"}($client) };
                                if ($@) {
                                $log->error("Error calling DynamicPlaylist plugin: $@\n");
                                        }
                                use strict 'refs';
                                   }
                                $log->debug("Playlist: $playlist\n");

                                if (! $playlist == "" ){
                                return;}
# If there is a playlist avail from DynamicPlaylists, Sugarcube won't add a song
# <-------------------------------------->
                                $sugarclients{$client} = $client;                                               # Store $client.
                                getmyNextSong($client);                 # Refresh UpNext Details.
                                Slim::Utils::Timers::killTimers(undef, \&SugarPlayerCheck); #Paranoia check.

I was contemplating making a new plugin to do MusicIP mixes in DynamicPlaylist. i.e. ask cparker if he wouldn't mind me taking a copy of parts of his code into a new plugin, and then extending it.

There are some enhancements I'd like to make to the DynamicPlaylist functionality, but don't want to inadvertently break SugarCube functionality, which I don't use much.

I'd like to define what to use as a seed, from some simple options/priorities, such as "use currently selected item" (when using the mixer context menu on a player, either an artist, album, song or genre), "use currently playing track", or "use last played track", or "use random song from playlist <name>".

Be able to configure different dynamic playlists, eg. pass filter params into it. So I could quickly play "Not rated tracks" filter, or "favorite tracks".

I know, this is a minor detail, but it would be nice to see an icon in the menu-item 'Spicefly SugarCube'.

There is another thing. With SugarCube turned on i pick a song and listen to some music. After a while i decide to create a MusicIP-mix. When i hit 'Play this mix' the Music-IP mix is playing but when i want to scroll through the playlist (on the controller) the songs get mixed-up. Sometimes the whole playlist is empty (with the music still playing) or things freeze. A reset of the controller doesn't help. I'm almost sure it has something to do with SugarCube because when i turn SugarCube off and create a MusicIP-mix everything is fine.

You could try applying my modified version of the plugin to see if it fixes the issue for you.

I can now say, I'm still getting a lot of repeated and duplicated tracks in the playlist with your modified version of the plugin.

Can someone explain me how to use sugarcube with dynamic playlists?
