Any help appreciated.
I can only test my plugin on macOS and maybe Linux Debian but this is actually the first I've heard of such behavior. Since I don't know what OS and LMS/plugin version you're using I can only guess but permissions seem a likely cause. If LMS works it always has read/write permissions to the folder you selected as your LMS playlist folder. Once installed Ratings Light - in order to avoid clutter - creates a folder in that playlist folder called -RatingsLight- where it stores everything: backups, exported playlists, logs... Creating the folder and changing into it requires 755 permissions. Please check if that folder exists (unless you moved it elsewhere in the RL settings) and if LMS/squeezeboxserver has 755 permissions for that folder. Permissions for files in that folder are 644 as usual. Another thing you could do is to *temporarily* set the -debug level- of the Ratings Light plugin to -debug- (settings > logging). And then try to create a backup or export something. Just don't forget to set it back to -warn- or -error- afterwards or your log will grow very large. Then check the server log for permissions related messages. Good luck. *Plugin repositories:* 'Ratings Light' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-ratingslight) 'Visual Statistics' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-visualstatistics) 'Use Comment Tag Info' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-usecommenttaginfo) 'Dynamic Playlists 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-dynamicplaylists#faq) 'Custom Skip 3 FAQ' (https://github.com/AF-1/lms-customskip#faq) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113344
