If I understand you correctly you have:
- A working backup two weeks old with 9000 rated tracks
- A working backup recent backup with 5000 rated tracks

If you restore the 5000 ratings backup file it should restore all those
5000 but leave the rest as they are. There will be no check against time
stamp for those 5000, so they will be overwritten with the information
in the backup file. The extra 4000 ratings you currently have in the
database should remain as they are. The restore operation doesn't empty
the database, it just updates the ratings listen in the file. 

The only way to get a timestamp check is to go through the iTunes
integration. But I'm not sure you want to mess with that, because I
really don't know how iTunes is going to react in all these situations.
So if you just miss the last 2 weeks of play/rating history I would
leave it as it is unless the above mentioned restore of the 5000 is a
working solution.

By the way, do you have any idea why you lost ratings in the upgrade ?
Is there something I could do on my side to avoid that others get the
same problem ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SqueezeCenter 7.0 beta versions of my plugins

2008-02-03 Thread smc2911

Somehow in my recent migration to SC7, I managed to mess up some of my
ratings (total # rated tracks dropped from around 9,000 to 5,000).
Also, I hadn't changed the ownership of the directory for backups so
the nightly Trackstat backup had failed for the last two weeks. The
good news, is that importing my last backup has recovered all but the
last couple of weeks of rating (and play stats). Before I imported the
last backup, I saved the stats as they were. Is there any way to do
some kind of merge of the two to update play stats and add any ratings
added in the last two weeks (similar to the "smart" import/export of
iTunes ratings)? It's not a big deal as I'm reasonably up to date, but
it would be nice to be able to do it. Any thoughts erland?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Squeezesoft 3.5 and SqueezeCenter 7.0, major probs :-(

2008-02-03 Thread markwm

Almost every day without fail I will open squeezecenter and it will say
'player not found'. I check my player (which is running softsqueeze
3.5) and it's open and running. I have to quit softsqueeze and restart
it for it to communicate again with squeezecenter. I've tried the
headless version but get the same issue, I really don't know what the
problem is, my network connection is fine and doesn't seem to be a
TCP/IP issue.

Is this a problem with softsqueeze 3.5?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC R2 Replay mono?

2008-02-03 Thread bpa

That means mplayer is not on your path. You will need to provide the
full path for mplayer.

However if it works OK with softsqueeze then the problem is a settings
as  AlienBBC will be sending a Flac or MP3 stream to SB.  
What is the AlienBBC stream sent as to Softqueeze and to SB (probabluy
either Flac or MP3)  ?  
Are they the same ?

If they are different then check the AlienBBC conf file entries.

Something like this was done before as I recall, but caused other

I have one more idea...

I've been looking through the source to plugin.pl and see that the perl
command you're using is "system $runScriptPath;"

I believe $runScriptPath on my system would contain
"/Users//Library/Application Support/SqueezeCenter/scripts"

Could the space in "Application Support" be causing a problem?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC R2 Replay mono?

2008-02-03 Thread bpa

The following command, run from Terminal,  should play the program back
via the Mac speakers.  This assume mplayer is on the path.  The "-v" is
optional but it displays more messages.

Code:


  mplayer -v -playlist 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/shows/rpms/radio2/r2_radmac_thu.rpm 
  



If it plays back ok - then the problem may be in an AlienBBC conf file.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC R2 Replay mono?

2008-02-03 Thread whitman

Hello again bpa and thanks for replying. I think I haven't explained
properly. Via Slimserver and AlienBBC Replay, I had one channel (the
non-Lennon) mono'd, in other words in both speakers. When I listened to
the same thing via the BBC website: perfectly OK stereo. And as it seems
you also got proper stereo via AlienBBC, I think my settings must have
come adrift somewhere.

Thanks,

A button on the web interface with a similiar function to the + key on
the remote would be nice.

I see you have been working on Karaoke features.

Anything you can do to add features to this plugin would be great.

I checked the show and it plays "Mr. Kite" like the alum recording where
John Lennon is only on one channel but there is audio on both channels.

If you have absolutely no audio on one channel throughout the show then
there may be a problem in your build of mplayer.

If you mean the web interface, then I think it can be done in the
plugin by providing a button on the page that does the same thing. I
actually think there's a lot more that could be done with the web
lyrics. Using comet to highlight and scroll the current line in karaoke
lyrics may be one them.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Lyrics Plugin: SB3 vs SC7

2008-02-03 Thread btcompute

I have been using the lyrics plugin for a few months now and like it.

There is a feature that is available through the SB3's remote that does
not seem to be available in SC7.

When using the remote to display lyrics, the lyrics that are displayed
are sometimes for the wrong song. This can often be corrected because
by pressing the "+" key, the plugin somehow asks the lyrdb website to
try to find a better match for lyrics. This usually works pretty well.


I was wondering if this fuctionality can be built into the SC7
interface.

Is this something that would be up to lsmithso (the plugin's developer)
to address, or is it a matter for the SqueezeCenter developers to tackle
if they so choose?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Error in ExecuteScript

2008-02-03 Thread Creeky

Sorry, was on vacation last week, but i've now tried your suggestions,
kdf.

I ran slimserver.pl from a terminal session, and checked the access
time of the script that should be being run (i.e. the one that
executescript logging says it is running on open file).

The script just echos a message to stdout. No message is displayed. I
used stat to check the last access time of the script file, and the
access time is not updated by executescript. If i run the script from
the command line the access time is updated.

It would seem that for some reason executescript is not executing the
file. I double checked the permissions, and the script file is an a
directory with permissions rwx for all users, and the script file has
the same permissions. Typing 'ps -j' indicates that the slimserver perl
process is running under my user account (the same one i can use to
successfully run the script manually).

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC R2 Replay mono?

2008-02-03 Thread whitman

I was listening to Radcliffe  & Maconie on AlienBBC Radio 2 Replay and
noticed I had a John Lennon-less 'Benefit Of Mr Kite'. After some
fiddling around I discovered that the extreme stereo separation of this
Beatles track had highlighted that Alien BBC R2 Replay was giving me one
stereo channel, mono'd. I tried it direct on my Mac from the BBC website
and Replay was in glorious stereo (with John back at the mic). Is this a
known fault on AlienBBC, or have I somehow mangled my settings?
