[Rhythmbox-devel] LAST_PLAYED's type.

[Alex Goddard <agoddard purdue edu>]

I'm in the middle of adding 'Last Played' to the smart playlist dialogue. 
The dialogue itself was the easy part.  The hard part has come with 
dealing with RHYTHMDB_PROP_LAST_PLAYED.  The source, as far as I can tell, 
treats RHYTHMDB_PROP_LAST_PLAYED as G_TYPE_ULONG (see examples like lines 
1703-1705 in rhythmdb.c and its presence in rhythmdb_entry_get_ulong () in 
rhythmdb.h).

However, in getting the smart playlist to query the database, I'm 
triggering a number of assertions regarding LAST_PLAYED's type, all of 
which can be worked around by adding cases for G_TYPE_LONG.  I've been 
unable to pinpoint precisely where the type is getting switched.

Any ideas as to why I might be encountering this?  Is adding cases for 
G_TYPE_LONG the right way to go, or should I be making a more strenuous 
effort to find where LAST_PLAYED is picking up a sign?
