Description Martin Steigerwald 2012-01-10 13:17:03 UTC
Version:           2.5 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

According to

[Bug 184455] New: last played playlist filter should allow to set greater than x days

I created a dynamic playlist with

* Match meta tag: Last Played
   * with older than 21 days
   * which gives me lastplay:>21d

(It is not necessary to add in random bias additionally as I found out.)

Now Amarok finds songs and fills the dynamic playlist. When playback progresses it adds new titles from its larger list.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Now when I change this too:

* Match All
  * Echo Nest similar artist
     * like last played song
     * or like any song in playlist
     * I tried both
  * Match meta tag: Last Played
     * with older than 21 days
     * which gives my lastplay:>21d
with a playlist with at least 15 entries shown…

Actual Results:  
… Amarok stops adding new artists.

When I refill the list it doesn´t fill it up to 10 new entries as well.

When I create a new dynamic playlist with just

  * Echo Nest similar artist
     * like last played song
     * or like any song in playlist
     * I tried both

I also do not get any new entries into the playlist.

Even when I manually trag part of some album or even lots more of songs into the playlist and use similar artist like any song in playlist I do not get any songs into the playlist.

Does the EchoNest stuff needs some additional setup? It is possible to influence how similar the songs should be? I think I gave it quite some obvious ways to find similar artists.

Expected Results:  
Amarok adds new songs from similar artists like it has worked in the Amarok 1.x days with Last.fm similar stuff.

I think something has changed with EchoNest recently which was not implemented yet on our side.

FIxed by Ralf, commit hooks were apparently disabled when he pushed. :-(
