The "735024" value are just the number of days since 01.01.0001 (which is the default value for the last played date) ;-)
So this track was simply never played so far.
However, I can not answer why it was never played, as this heavily depends on your program/scripts settings, your history settings etc. etc.

Hi Bernd,
i solved my problem changing my main library. In first time i havve all my track in only one directory, now i divided all my music in group of 10 years and i modified my script for take one song from every directory without check the date.

Just a request will be the possibility from script to select all a category and not only one subentry.


Thank
Gabriele

Can you explain, what you mean by "select all a category and not only one subentry"?
As I do not fully understand what you mean.
However, one script-line can only reference one media lib.

If you want within one script-line to 'pick' randomly any of your media-libs, you can do the following:
a) create one 'dummy' script, in which you reference all your media libs, e.g. this script will contain one script-line per media-lib!
This 'dummy' dispatcher script will then be set to 'Random' mode.
b) In your effective script you might then define one script-line and use the 'Execute' action and reference this dummy dispatcher script (a).
This will then effectively pick one media entry from ANY of your media-libs.

Hi Bernd,
i have divided all my library how u can see:
Cattura media library.PNG
Cattura media library.PNG (21.21 KiB) Viewed 8292 times
so i like to have possibility to select main category so i can have more than once source for category (more than one nas)

and this is my actual script revisited:

As explained above:
You might use one dummy script like this:
Name = Dispatcher
Exec. Mode = Random
Lines:
1. Random, /80
2. Random, /90
...
And then use in your effective script above:
X. Execute, Dispatcher
Network Area Storage (NAS) :D
I have more than one nas with music so if i can select main "caetgory" and ppoa automaticaly search in all medialibrary who was part of that category will be fantastic.

so if in 90 i will have:

90
/90
/90-2 (2°nd nas)
80
/80
00
/00
/00-2 (2nd nas) ...

i can select in script only 90(main category) for all songs inside 90 and 90-2

Best Regard
Gabriele

Ahh, now I see what you mean...
I'll take a look, if something like this can be implemented in a future release.
However, in the meantime you might create dispatcher scripts like explained above to achieve exactly the same!

Note, that since v3.0.12.00 you can now specify a media library category with the script-line mode Random and Cardwall.
