First, want to thank VDJ's team for all the amazing updates, it's like Xmas every week ! !
VDJ always amazes !
The lastest EA7183 includes, the new capability of setting played status:
What is the parameter name for "played status" ?
What is the syntax for this new addition?
have tried:
browsed_song 'played status' 1
browsed_song 'played' 1
browsed_song 'played status' played
with many more combinations with: "yes" "no" "unplayed" , "played_song"
---------
win 10

browsed_song and loaded_song take names of browser columns, so the one you're looking for is "Already Played"

@ Adion
Thank you, always great to learn,
(I had been always been using names of the Tag editor fields, and "played status" is not a parameter/field there)
And Yep, "Already Played" works flawlessly !
Again Thank you for all the new features !

Yes Locodog.. and wanted to thank you helping making this possible, by making this one of your wishes.
and this custom button, will toggle the browsed track's played status:
So cool !
and this custom button, will toggle the browsed track's played status:
get_browsed_song 'Already Played' ? browsed_song 'Already Played' 0 : browsed_song 'Already Played' 1
So cool !

And for loaded_song, to toggle played status for the master deck:
NOTE: It seems that the play status is indeed changed, but the "Play Count" is NOT increased, when a track is marked as "Already Played" using this new feature.
(this is probably a great feature, since not to add a lot of unintended tracks to the history file, each time a track is toggled as played, or create a false indication of track plays)
Though I would prefer that once per track load, that changing the track to "Already Played" would increase the "Play Count" Is there an easy way to do that? (for example: one could get the "Play Count" and then ADD 1 to it and cast it back, etc) Is there an easier way.)
Currently I had been using the script below to set a Track as Already Played:
param_equal `deck master get_loaded_song 'Already Played'` 'yes' ? deck master loaded_song 'Already played' 0 : deck master loaded_song 'Already played' 1

setting 'historyDelay' 90 ? on & setting 'historyDelay' 1 & wait 1000ms & setting 'historyDelay' 90 & off : off & setting 'historyDelay' 90

browsed_song 'playcount' `get browsed_song 'playcount' & param_cast integer & param_add 1`
loaded_song 'playcount' `get loaded_song 'playcount' & param_cast integer & param_add 1`
Finally I guess you could combine the two actions at once:
get_browsed_song 'Already Played' ? browsed_song 'Already Played' 0 & browsed_song 'playcount' `get browsed_song 'playcount' & param_cast integer & param_add -1`: browsed_song 'Already Played' 1 & browsed_song 'playcount' `get browsed_song 'playcount' & param_cast integer & param_add 1`
This will also subtract 1 from playcount if you mark a track as unplayed.
What's really tricky (and most likely impossible to handle) is to manipulate "last played" data (the time a track was played for last time)

That is very Cool, thank you Phantom !
Wanted to get some advice about best scripting syntax, because one maybe newer, or just cleaner.
and when I attempted to write a similar script, came up with:
which leads to, 2 questions:
1) for the fields/metadata of a track, is it best written as 'Play Count' (as displayed in Column options), or 'playcount' ? (both work, if the latter is preferred, where can one find the better list of fields?)
2) is get browsed_song the same as get_browsed_song (again both work)
(cannot find any documentation for get is that an older implementation?)
------
UPDATE: may as well ask about:
3) is it preferred that the "type" specificaton for a variable, NOT be quoted? as in param_cast integer vs. param_cast 'integer' (both work)
-------------

there's also a simpler
loaded_song 'play count' +1
for casting there are cases where unquoted cast type doesn't work, I can't remember what it is but I remember it happening and have never been that short of ' or " for the sake of casting, I use '' or "" all the time

Wow.. that is amazing simple, Thank you Locodog..
and is a much more elegant way to script that. Love it !
-----------
Maybe there is also an improved way to address the case when the "Play Count" is zero, (never played)
If one wants to query if "Play Count" is zero one needs to address it as 'empty' (2 single quotes with nothing between them) as in:
which is True when "Play Count" is zero and false when "Play Count" is NOT zero.
and
does NOT work.
----------
Yet, if one wants to set the "Play Count" to zero one needs to use '0' and not null ('')
Does NOT work
and
Does work.
________
Summary:
to check if "Play Count" is zero, one needs to query for null(empty), but setting "Play Count" to zero, one then needs to the digit '0'
(different for a query vs setting the "Play Count")
any thoughts on how to understand that?
(or is there an cooler method)
