{playlists} returns just one playlist

[LordHelmchen666]

In "gap_filler":

• {playlists}* -- comma-separated list of playlist names that make up the general rotation

{playlists} returns just one playlist. "Rock und Deutsch-Rock" which is the default one. Should it not return all (public) playlists?

Not really. It’s supposed to return the playlists that actually "feed" the gaps in between scheduled blocks, i.e. those that make up the general rotation. To show up in {playlists}, these must

• be enabled
• be of type "default" (called "General Rotation" in the UI)
• not be on a schedule (if they were, we’d see them in the program anyway)

I have, for example, these playlists that make up the general rotation:

• Classic Rock (weight 3),
• Folk Rock (weight 1), and
• Hard Rock (weight 3).

My {playlists} returns Classic Rock, Folk Rock & Hard Rock.

Wouldn’t make sense to show all my 63 playlists to a listener, would it? And all these "once every …" are usually jingles and/or commercials but don’t add to the general rotation (music-wise).

Hope this clarifies the idea a little.

That makes sense. So this should be left as it is.

That’s what I hoped for… ;-) Let’s close this one.
