I re-ran the restore operation with exactly the same result.

I think I checked the server log and saw that the restore has finished, can't be sure though. I did have the "find alternative files option enabled" as well as using musicbrainz tags...but like I said the strange thing is that some rating have been restored and some haven't. I'll re-run the restore and see what happens. yocky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104919 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat restore only partially restores ratings
I just installed LMS 7.9 on a second PC and copied my music library over. The file names are identical but the path is slightly different (e:\music\ instead of i:\all\music), however the files I'm really interested in are musicbrainz tagged so I didn't think this was important. I did a fresh scan and then a trackstat restore from my latest backup file. This has partially worked. Some ratings have been restored and some haven't. Even stranger is that the playcount seems to have been restored for even the tracks that haven't had the ratings restored. Any ideas? yocky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104919 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat and Musicbrainz
Right, I'm getting nowhere fast with this. I took 2 albums and ran some tests. I rated a few tracks on Album1 then rescanned. I tagged Album1 and Album2 with Musicbrainz tags via MP3Tag and then rescanned. I rated some tracks on Album2 and rescanned. Then I moved Album1 and Album2 to a different folder and rescanned. I checked the server log and Trackstat was performing a refresh after each scanbut my ratings were gone from each album.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat and Musicbrainz
Thanks for looking. Right well that explains a lot, and yes I sent the right one. In fact I suspected that that that might be the problem. That's why I was asking in a previous post how I could tell if Musicbrainz tags had been applied. I didn't know about the View Tags option or I could have checked that myself. I just tagged another (already rated) album with Musicbrainz own tagger Picard and sure enough I can see the Musicbrainz tags and the ratings survived a move. So given that I'd much rather use MP3Tag, what am I doing wrong?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat and Musicbrainz
Thanks for all that. I'll do some more testing tonight. As an aside, I'm attempting to tag these files with Musicbrainz IDs via MP3Tag. If I use that program and use Musicbrainz as the info source, is that tagging the files sufficiently? In which field is this new info going? Is it possible to identify a file that's had Musicbrainz IDs applied after the event, and if so how? yocky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95698 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat and Musicbrainz
As I understand it, tagging files with Musicbrainz will enable my ratings to survive when I rename or move the files (or both) because the files are uniquely identified by the Musicbrainz IDs rather than location and filename. First of all, is my understanding correct? And if so then would the ratings survive being moved/renamed in any circumstance or would I require a full rescan followed by a restoration of the ratings from a backup file? I ask because my few tests of this have resulted in my rating being lost...but I haven't tried the complete rescan yet. yocky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95698 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Newbie problems with SQL Playlists
I'm trying to find my feet with this functionality and struggling a bit. I'm trying to find, or find a way of creating, a playlist for random songs with a minimum user defined rating. I can't find an existing playlist like this on the Web Control in either the Dynamic Playlist or the SQL Playlist sections, and when I try to create a playlist like this there seem to be options for every conceivable combination of variables but not mine. On a related note whilst messing around I chose to Download last version of existing playlists which seems to have messed up the SQL Playlist section of the Web ControlI now have quite a few blank lines at the top of the list of playlists and the list of enabled Dynamic Playlists includes a whole bunch of playlists that look like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

erland wrote: If you want to use pre-defined templates you will have to install TrackStat. After TrackStat is installed, you should be able to create a new playlist in SQL Playlist of the type Advanced with rating, you can leave all parameters as they are and only set the Minimum rating attribute and of course the Playlist name. Or where you looking for a playlist that always prompt for a rating value when starting to play the playlist ? Just the former. That does the trick. Does the Advanced with Rating playlist always refer to random songs, rather than random albums/artists etc? erland wrote: Ok, I need to debug this a bit and see if I can reproduce it in my own library. The downloaded files are stored in the Template directory which have been configured in SQL Playlist settings, so you can just delete everything in that directory and then click the Refresh link at the bottom of the SQL Playlist menu and that should hopefully solve your issues. That's tidied things up. Not sure it's completely right though. When I browse Dynamic Playlists and go to Random, should the next folder immediately within Random be For Selected? yocky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95029 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC fast forward or skip
Running SC7 (17793) on Windows XP. After searching through this forum I'm still a little confused about whether I can jump to half way through a listen again BBC stream. This thread : http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45575highlight=alienbbc+skip seems to imply that it's possible from the web interface but not the remote. Whereas this thread : http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42189highlight=alienbbc+skip implies that it's doable from the remote but not the web. I can't get either to work. Using the remote when I hold down the forward button it counts up the number of minutes to skip from 1 to 5 but when the button is released it carries on playing. Something is happening when I try the web interface, but not what I want to happen. Basically what ever I attempt either results in the stream continuing as if I hadn't intervened or starting again from the beginning. -- yocky yocky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46964 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC fast forward or skip
Thanks for the reply. I'm using SC 7.0 with SB3s. I didn't recognise the behaviour you've stated for this combination but I think I've just established that's because I had 2 players synced when I was trying skip forward. When I try on an unsynced player it works a treat. With the synced players when I press and hold FFW on the remote the time to skip forward counts up in minutes but when the button is released the stream continues as it was but the display shows that it's skipping forward at between 2x and 32x speed. -- yocky yocky's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16305 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46964 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
