Heh...except mine.  I don't have IE, and your application probably also
requires Windows Scripting Host, which I also lack.  No problem.

Sorry I started such a fracas.

It actually wasn't a joke.  I am house-bound, one day is pretty much
like the next, and having the day-of-week displayed around the house
would have been handy.  I was just asking for a trivial change in the
standard Long Date options.

I don't know perl code from Pearl Bailey or I would have tried to
figure it out myself.  And I don't seem to have a slimserver.pref file,
soI'll just close the enhancement request and slink away.  Sorry.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] How about a DaySpeller clock?

2007-03-31 Thread Pale Blue Ego

I saw this clock on Gizmodo and thought about mherger's TimeSpeller
clock.  Some of us aren't too worried about which minute it is, nor
even which hour, and are content to just know the day of the week.  My
actual goal is not to know or care which month it is, and the Holy
Grail would be to not care which YEAR it is, but I figure Alzheimer's
Disease will eventually take care of that.

http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/day-clock-for-the-approximate-time-248522.php

I guess it would be easy to hack the Long Date listing in 

Server Settings | Formatting | Long Date Format

to offer a simple  option (day of week only).  That would be better
than making a separate plugin.

Erland, I wanted to thank you for your efforts in creating these
excellent plugins.  I hadn't even noticed that TrackStat now includes
the feature I requested (1-10 rating scale) and has for some time!  

The feature set is massive compared to the last time I used TrackStat,
and it's all very impressive.  I really like how I can apply ratings
right from the web interface.  The automatic backups are a great
feature, too.

Keep up the great work!

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Handling of rating in MusicMagic, iTunesUpdate, TrackStat and slimserver

2006-07-14 Thread Pale Blue Ego

I didn't actually use only 5 ratings (in the proposed 10-point system). 
I merely gave an example of 5 different ratings FILTERS

With a 10-point rating system, I would certainly use all 10.  With a
20,000 track library, it would break down something like this:

9 - 1%   [200]
8 - 4%   [800]
7 - 12%  [2400]
6 - 32%  [6400]
5 - 27%  [5400]
4 - 11%  [2200]
3 - 6%   [1200]
2 - 4%   [800]
1 - 2%   [400]
0 - 1%   [200]

So, a ratings FILTER of 9+ would give me the best 1% of my tracks
8+ would give the best 5%
7+ would give the best 17%
6+ would give the best 49%
5+ would give the best 76%
4+ would give the best 87%

You can see that this gives a lot more control.

As you have said, going to a 10-point system would not affect any
currently rated tracks - their values would just be doubled.  And even
those who do like the current 5-star system have said they sometimes
can't decide how to rate a track.

Well, you guys know where I stand :)  Thanks for listening.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Handling of rating in MusicMagic, iTunesUpdate, TrackStat and slimserver

2006-07-13 Thread Pale Blue Ego

I seriously doubt I would ever want to rate tracks as finely as 48, 49,
50, but I could see myself using ratings of 50, 55, 60.  

At the very least, a 0-9 system would be a lot more useful than 1-5. 
With 1-5, loading up a playlist of 4+ gives me only a tiny portion of
my collection (maybe 5%), while 3+ gives me almost the whole thing
(95%).

A 0-9 system would allow me a lot more control.  8+ would truly be the
cream, 7+ would be superb, and 6+ would give me all-day listening with
no bad songs.  Even 5+ would give me most of my library without the 15%
- 20% of clinkers that can buzz-kill a listening session or par-tay
vibe.

Rating filters combined with genre selection would allow a lot of
control without a lot of effort.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Handling of rating in MusicMagic, iTunesUpdate, TrackStat and slimserver

2006-07-13 Thread Pale Blue Ego

A few thoughts:

I like the idea of a ratings tag in the actual file itself.  That way,
it moves with the file.  But rating files from the slimserver interface
becomes a problem, then.  You don't ever want slimserver to write tags. 
But you could get slimserver to write to the ratings field in the
database.  Then the main problem is how to populate the file tags from
the ratings field.  I suppose it could be done with a separate script
that calls a command-line tagger.

A larger problem with ratings as a whole is that, for me, the 5-star
system is too coarse.  I've been using TrackStat for months and I find
that 90% of my ratings are "3".  So the only real benefit is in
excluding the 5% of tracks that are 1-2 or including the 5% of tracks
that are 4-5.  I would much rather have a 0-9 rating system, or even a
00-99 system.

I see that the POPM rating field is a value between 1-255.

If we go to all the trouble of implementing ratings in slimserver, I
feel we should design a finer-grained system than the iTunes 5-star
system.

Thanks for reading my suggestions.

I just installed TrackStat 1.12.2 and I have a ? about how to rate
tracks. In the notes it says:

"To rate a track just press the numbers 1-5 on the remote, you will see
a message on the Squeezebox display which confirms
that the rating has been set."

When I push 1-5 while a song is playing, it just jumps the display to
the song in the playlist corresponding to the LETTER (ABC, etc) of the
remote button I pushed.  Also, I see no confirmation on the screen.

Running 6.2.2 - 6337 - Debian - EN - iso-8859-1

Move selected song to top of que
