It doesn't in my setup at the moment but I'm not sure if that's just related to some specific setting in my setup or if everyone have the problem.
Here is the bug report: http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12121 The extra TrackStat statistics won't be handled automatically, you will have to do a backup and restore of the information. Of course, at the moment TrackStat doesn't work with SQLite so restore isn't possible yet. tamanaco;433804 Wrote: > > There is also the issue of my SQL based playlists that I have build and > modified over a long period of time.

The plan is to support SQLite in both TrackStat, Custom Browse and Custom Scan. At the moment I can't guarantee if and when this support will be implemented, but the plan is to do it. Template based playlists and menus should be upgraded automatically but if you have customized the XML/SQL yourself you will need to do manual modifications. Anyway, you shouldn't blame Logitech if third party plugins are harder to upgrade because they've used unofficial API's. People that use my plugins should be a lot more worried about the schema change planed for 8.x. Still, Logitech can't and shouldn't stop eveloving because there are third party plugins that use unofficial API's. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64564 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
