Any help will do. Thanks. You need to download activeperl, the link is in an earlier post (somewhere on the first page). Once you've installed that you'll be able to run the itunesUpdateWin.pl by following the instructions in the readme (which involve typing in a command on the command line). Alteratively you can copy the following text into a text file and then rename it "itunes.bat". Then, you can double click on this new file and you'll be able to run the updater.

OK, I was away, so I haven't tried anything else since. Here are some complementary infos, if it can be of any help to anyone : The tag problem was generated by "Foobar", which I used to calc replaygain values, mishandling french special characters é-è-à... Somehow it rewrote the whole tag, messing up these letters, and I don't know why, but this didn't show up in iTunes until the Update plugin changed the playcount and rate values, that's why I targeted it. But of course the plugin was definitely not to blame. Now I use "Tag&Rename" to set everything right in the tags AFTER having "replaygained" the files, and see! no problems. I found out about the scheduling problem because I just had a similar issue with microsoft's SyncToy (a quite handy little synchro-backup tool, free for windows users). I couldn't schedule it the way I used to do it for every other task (including iTunes Update), i.e. using the admin/PW account. (me being logged as "user", admin rights, no PW) Actually SyncToy only works as scheduled task when set with "user"/PW. So I set a PW to my "user" account, and it rocks. This looong speech just to say that it reminded me of the plugin problem, so I tried this way too, and it works! (I tried with the batch file, but I reckon it would work too if the script is scheduled itself) So you can't schedule it using another login/PW than the open session's. -- Stan Pulsar Stan Pulsar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19802 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

The PartyShuffle plugin refers to the playlist by (English) name so this appears to be the initial problem. It has given me some ideas for extending the plugin, and I'll post a version shortly with multiple language support. I misunderstood your original report - so I would guess that the problem with scheduling the script is that the scheduled process runs in a restricted process much like SlimServer does when it's a service. You could specify a loop interval to the update script and just run that from your startup folder? Or try and get direct update mode working, in which case the log would be useful. I have not see any problems with tags being updated - that really should't happen!

BTW, just another question (I could start another thread, but...): have you experienced any issue with tags in iTunes being modified after the perl-script-update?

Hi Stan, it seems like you have an issue talking to iTunes. The iTunesUpdateWin.pl script uses the same code as 'direct update' in the plugin, so (one a one machine setup) if one doesn't work the other won't either. The PartyShuffle crash is probably a bug triggered by the same problem. For both issues, can you run SlimServer with --d_plugins debugging enabled, get the plugins to do some work and send me the log?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: iTunesUpdate 1.5 (with web interface)
Hi there. I'm a new member here, and just purchased a SB3 a couple of days ago. I have two issues with your plugins, james : - first one (actually not caused by the plugin) with iTunesUpdate: I use it in "non-direct" mode (SS service), and created the shortcut to run the script, and a batch file as well. When I run either of them, it works perfectly. Nice job btw, since I like iTunes to manage my music. Then I scheduled a task to run the script every M minutes (let's say, 10) during the afternoon (when music ist mostly played continuously). But, despite the task being successfully run (last result : 0x0) and the iTunes_Hist.txt file being processed (to .tmp then .done), I can't see any changes in iTunes. (again, when launched directly, changes do occur) Any idea why this happens? Or any advice to schedule this update? (I must say, that in "direct update" mode (SS NON-service), I couldn't get the plugin to change anything in iTunes either. But since it wasn't that important to me to have instant update, I switched to the other mode.) - the second one is with the iTunes PartyShuffle plugin: (with SS not running as a service, of course) when I select the plugin on the SB and press play, it just kills the slim.exe process. Any required third party plugin or setting I could have missed?

Fixes in this version: 1) option to ignore filetype in iTunes, for example if you play flac files in SlimServer but have mp3 files in iTunes with the same filename except the extension. 2) fixes to the interface if you have 'direct update' off.

Or is there any other solution for this problem available ?

James, great job on the new update. A couple of quick questions: 1) When you say that you can access a "web interface" by going to Server Settings/Plugins, I don't see any option here. All I see is the standard iTunes Update Choose whether the iTunes Update plugin will update the iTunes database directly or save information to a history file for later processing. Set this to "off" if you have SlimServer running as a service (e.g. selected "start automatically" at installation) or are not running this SlimServer on Windows. Direct Update Write messages to log what am I missing? Where do I see the web inteface? 2) I have the currect Perl installed per you directions. How do I run the script to apply the itunes update changes? I checked the file and the log is being updated. My log is located at D:\Playlists . I am tring to just double click on the file "iTunesupdatewin" located at C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Plugins\iTunesUpdate. Is that the way to update it? Do they need to be in the same flder? Sorry, I am not very geeky and need the dummies version (aka step by step). Thanks!

Yup, it helps. I didn't see any updated in iTunes so first I thought it was the service-installation. I then ran it from the cmd-line and still no updates.

OK, 2nd try.

The good news is, it's free! http://www.activestate.com/Perl.plex?hdr=1 3) The plugin is now saving your playback history etc. to a file. Finally, you run the iTunesUpdateWin.pl script on this file and that does the updating: e.g. iTunesUpdateWin.pl "C:\My Music\Playlists\iTunesUpdate_hist.txt" You can run the script whenever you want, but iTunes needs to be open when it is running (it will open iTunes if not).

Seems like the 1-10-06 nightly of 6.5b1 has broken the web interface for iTunes Update plug-in. Reverting to version 1.5 of the plug-in gives the same 'Nothing being timed' message. -- el payo el payo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19802 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

el payo, I've just posted v1.5.1 which I hope will display the date correctly on OSX. Let me know if so...

Hi Craig Have installed the plugins on my 6.5.1 installation and am running softsqueeze client. In direct mode I get messages in the console window saying "failed to launch iTunes". The plugin does seem to be installed OK as I can rate tracks and I can see messages in the console suggesting that the plugins are "seeing" my ratings... it's just when moving to the next track (and therefore recording the ratings/play count etc) there is this "failed to launch iTunes" message... followed by messages observing that the track was "not found" in the iTunes database. Any ideas what might be wrong?

I'm finally able to enjoy iTunes Update as proir to the 1.5 release the plugin used to crash the server on my OSX box. Whatever issue was there is no more. Thanks so much for you continued work on this and Last.FM plugin - they truly elevate my Slim experience to an A+ In the SlimServer web interface I do notice one problem. Rather than a date for Last Played I get the following... Last Played:Mac::AppleScript::Glue::Object=HASH(0x75adec) Rating and play count show up correctly. -- el payo el payo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1745 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19802 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
