If I remember correctly, playlists that requests a parameter currently
can't be used as SqueezeCenter favorites.
You can select them as a Dynamic Playlist favor
In the Web UI, you should be able to go to Home > Dynamic Playlists
(under Music Library), then find the playlist in the list and click the
heart. I'll attach a screen shot.

Ah ok, working much better now - there seems to be one exception - if I
create my own playlist (in this case I was wanting to create a version
of a regular playlist which randomises and also makes sure tracks
aren't repeated within 3 days), I'm having problems getting that into
the Favorites group

Just had a quick play around - I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong
or not...
I've installed Trackstat and DynamicPlaylist, and also SQLPlaylist.
Within the Alarm UI I can see a menu entry for DynamicPlaylist but
nothing is listed under that, I expected some of the usual Trackstat
playlists
That is fantastic news - I'll get downloading now! :-)

Personally I swapped for three reasons:
- auto-shuffle - won't be relevant with Dynamic Playlists anyway as
I'll do the randomising in the playlist
- multiple alarms
- duration of alarm (i.e. set it to 60 mins).
I'm not sure what other people use it for - it seems quite popular!

If you don't get it to work directly, it might not be worth the trouble
since there will be official support for this in Dynamic Playlist when
SqueezeCenter 7.2 is released.

If my current listening playlist is a Dynamic Playlist, and the alarm

I had a play at doing the work to merge these 2 at the weekend with
mixed success.
I got it so that DynamicPlaylist was registering custom playlists with
ExtendedAlarm. I could then select these in the settings page and that
all worked ok (found one bug which I can forward to you if you want).

Controllator, I just realised you had entered the playlist name in your

Code:

You should use the CLI interface towards the Dynamic Playlist plugin,
something like:
Code:
$client->execute(['dynamicplaylist', 'playlist', 'play', 'sqlplaylist_XXX']);
