Hi!

I've read the FAQ and can't seem to find the answer to my question (which may just mean I didn't search thoroughly enough). What action counts as a 'skip' for the purpose of the 'number of times skipped' display in Emplode? And why is this always zero even though I've often pressed 'fast forward to next song' on some songs only seconds after they've started?

Have fun,

Paul

Skips is not yet implemented in the software.

Damn. Is it just not handled in emplode, or is the player software not recording it?

The player software is not recording it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it implemented, because I've noticed that my custom "Hard LRP" shuffle ("Least Recently Played" with a much less randomization than the default LRP) has a problem...

If I skip a song during the first 5 seconds, it doesn't count as having been played. So when I shuffle on LRP, get a list that begins with all of the songs I already skipped on the last shuffle session.

When the skipped field gets filled in, I'm hoping that I can fix this with a custom shuffle.

it should count as skipped if the song even appears on the screen... instantaneosly.
As soon as that sucker loads, I mean the instant it is passed to the player, If I hit "next" it should count as skipped....

If I hit "next" "next" "next" "next" "next" "next" "next" "next" really fast, all of those songs should count as skipped.

that's my feeling.

In the "Developer Info" section of the FAQ. I have hesitated putting it into the main FAQ because I still can't get it to work quite right yet. It occasionally does things that I think it shouldn't do.
