For Random Mix playback, you could use SQL Playlist/Dynamic Playlist
plugins instead since the playlists defined with SQL Playlist plugin can
be configured to restrict the content to a Multi Library library.
In addition to this, it's possible to use Custom Skip plugin and
configure it with a "Not Library" filter so it skips all tracks which
isn't part of the "Best format" library you have defined in Multi
Library plugin. This will work in both Random Mix plugin mixes and in
MusicIP mixes but the disadvantage is that if a MP3 version is part of
the mix, the track will be skippped, it won't select the FLAC version.
So it's not an optimal solution, but it will guarantee that it doesn't
play MP3 music for which you have a FLAC version of. For it to work,
it's important that the "Enable filtering on all playlists" setting in
Custom Skip settings page is enabled, if it isn't enable the Custom Skip
plugin will only affect playlists played through the Dynamic Playlist
plugin.
The optimal solution is to ensure that your LMS music folder only
contains one version of each track, but this will of course require that
you rearrange your music folder and I can imagine that it can be a bit
of work if you have a large library.
