Hi NR,

some things depend on your system. recipes seem to work only on windows
systems. I have the Qnap 439 which is linux based. Nevertheless, i have
also installed the GUI on my windows PC. There i scan the music and
archive the fingerprints, since it is faster than on the NAS. I also
defined filters on the GUI and copied the database to the NAS. Then the
filters are also available there, since they can only be defined on the
GUI.

For my filters, it is essential to use also trackstat and custom scan
plugin.

I have rated all my titles with trackstat and custom scan transfers the
ratings and last played information to the mip database. 

One of my filters selects only titles with more or equal 3 stars and
that are not played within the last three days. This works well, if you
select the filter via musicip or spicefly plugin.

In the recipes, you could do even more. Regarding the ratings, you
could define a ratio between 5,4 and three star ratings for instance
(this recipe is called Use Ratings). Nevertheless, this recipe is
probably not usefull for spicefly, since it takes only one song out of
the mip playlist.
