Smart Playlist Operators - Daydream - 2020-10-11

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but is there a way to make a smart playlist with a criteria that denotes the absence of something? I'm looking for the equivalent of isnull.

As in, say, all music videos with no user rating. Thoughts?

It doesn't, I tried. I'm guessing what it looks for is an integer value and not a null value.

@Daydream @Harro

Currently not possible as the rule syntax does not allow entry of "null" value for Ratings and My Rating and probably a few other items.

You could make a feature request. I guess this use case was an oversight when it was first designed.

That's odd.  I have a music playlist that does exactly what Harro suggests, using the "My Rating" field, and works.

Yes, music works as it does not use the Null value. Videos and Music are two separate databases, and over the years there has always been different developers for the two, so there are always differenced
