Hi,

I want to add a new tag (ADDED) to each file with the current datetime value when it's added to the library, so it will able me to create a playlist_tree query that will show me new additions to the library based in a time range (1 week before).

I've asked in the foo_playlist_tree library topic about a variable or something in the library or database that says when it was added but no luck.

Anyone know a good solution for this?

If I understand it correctly you want to basically have a playlist of recently added, correct me if I'm wrong, it's quite early and I've gotten no sleep. Anyways I'm not sure how you would do it with playlist tree because I don't use it, I did it through autoplaylist. But here's a thread that I created asking how to set up a recently added playlist, tell me if you can get it set up. If not I'll try to walk you through it base on what I know.

Recently Added

Oh, nice..

Good.. I've tried the autoplaylist and looks nice.
But thanks to your post I can imagine how to do it using Playlist Tree.

Thank you!

By the way, I found a bit of a problem with the sorting that someone offered in the thread. It would sort my albums in this totally random order. I wanted to sort my recently added playlist by first when it was added. And then if it's an album, all the songs are grouped under the album based on tracknumber. here's how my queries & sorting is setup with my autoplaylist.



You're going to want to replace "cwb_systemdate" with "cwb_systemdatetime" in both the query and custom info. Here's the thread with a little more detail.

Did we really have to create a new thread for this?
I already answered your question in the playlist_tree thread.
