Do you have any ratings of that level on your songs? I'm not clear where the ratings come from for trackstat unless you explicitly rate songs with the trackstat plugin on specific tracks or albums. Having just installed the plugin you may have none unless you restored from a previous backup. Use the Trackstat menu to see what ratings you have got.
Another way of getting ratings is to use a Rating tag in your files and scan with Custom Scan. I am a bit unclear on whether trackstat can work without Custom Scan in that case. I suggest you ask Erland (the author). LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp (Beta - derived from squeezelite) to Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC and Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Squeezelite to PC sound. Minimserver (server) and upplay (control point) to same amps & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Meridian USB Explorer DAC from PCs to speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls LMS/upplay via Firefox. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
