afriend, Thanks for your quick response. It's probably something I've fouled up, so if you don't see an immediate solution don't worry about it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] Ratings Light
I have a question about the ratings backup file that the Ratings Light plugin is to create, either manually or automatically via a scheduled time specified by the user. After installing the Ratings Light plugin I chose the parent folder into which RL files would be saved. I then ran a manual backup, which produced the RL folder and--inside that newly-created folder--a backup file. Here are the contents of the backup file: --- --- RL states that the backup file allows one to "Backup all rated tracks (from your entire library) and their rating values in a single backup file," so I was surprised to find no tracks with ratings data in the file , particularly given that RL found 404 rated tracks. (I used to use Trackstat, but to be on the safe side I uninstalled it when I upgraded LMS to version 8.1.2. I guess the tracks that RL discovered are from Trackstat; the Now Playing screen in LMS continues to show the correct number of "stars" for tracks I have rated even though I uninstalled Trackstat, and I have run several "clear library and rescan everything" scans since then. I thought that maybe I needed to play and rate some more tunes and then run the manual backup again, maybe "waking up" the now-installed RL somehow. So I did that, and this time when I ran the manual backup, RL produced no additional backup file at all. I tried a couple of more times with the same outcome. So my questions are: How do I get RL to produce a backup file that shows my rated tracks and their ratings? How do I get RL to produce an updated version of that file every time I choose to run a manual backup?

Your quick patch (1.8.2) doesn't show up in the list of available 3rd party plugins, perhaps because Ratings Light (v1.8.0) shows up in the list of Active Plugins even though it is accompanied by the "Plugin failed to load" Description. Maybe if I deleted the Ratings Light v1.8.0 entry from the list of Active Plugins, the 1.8.2 would show up in the 3rd party plugins.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] How to make a fresh start with Trackstat?
Roland0 and Erland, Many thanks to you both for your helpful replies. Although I may later find out that my current optimism isn't warranted, I seem to have achieved what I wanted, which was a "fresh start." I believe that things were just as you, Erland, suggested. After I did both a "Delete unused statistics" and "Remove all data" one right after the other, I then immediately did a manual backup, and the backup file was just an "empty" .xml file ready to receive data. Then I immediately did a "clear library and rescan everything" as a test. I followed this by doing another manual backup, and the .xml file was full of data rather than the empty shell the previous backup produced. I believe this was a demonstration of what you predicted in that what I'd done was to "get rid of the data related to files that no longer exist, but the old data will still be there for files that exist." In any event, I've begun happily listening to music and making my ratings anew. A quick creation and test of an SQL Playlist showed that I can (for example) play a random set of tunes I have rated 5* since my fresh start. I was content to start from scratch again, and it looks like that's what I've accomplished. Salvaging the old data would have been good (and the ratings in the small number of files that didn't get moved during my restructuring HAVE been preserved), but I'm OK with the way things are. I've done both scheduled backups and a manual backup, and they seemed to go ok. The relationship between the two still seems a little confusing to me, but I intend to continue with scheduled backups so if I ever have to "restore" from file" I can just point to the most recent scheduled backup file as the one from which the restoring will be done. Thanks again to you both. Doing the ratings again means I'm listening to more music lately...that's the whole point, isn't it? :) Steve ---- radish112's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11591 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113844 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] How to make a fresh start with Trackstat?
I am a Trackstat user. I recently restructured my library of FLAC files, and the complexity of the restructuring has meant that neither restoring my latest (pre-restructuring) scheduled backup of Trackstat nor the option to "Find alternative files" is successful in salvaging all of my Trackstat data. Both those efforts have probably just made things worse. So, I'd like to make an absolutely fresh start with Trackstat, as if I was installing and using it for the very first time. I'd appreciate any help you can give in answering these questions: 1. What procedure can I use to achieve an absolutely fresh start with Trackstat? For example, could I achieve this by doing something as "simple" as deleting the persist.db file and other files? If so, where would I find such files? I have tried "Delete unused statistic" and "Remove all data" followed by a rescan, but thanks to the persist.db (I guess) the deleted, incomplete data come right back and subsequently entered ratings data don't "stick." I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Trackstat, but that hasn't worked either, maybe because a newly installed Trackstat "finds" and uses old files that weren't uninstalled. Thus my desire to make a fresh start. 2. Once I have achieved a fresh start with Trackstat I'll of course want to do scheduled backups as I did in the past. I'll have no problems browsing and selecting the directory where I'll have read/write privileges. But although I've successfully done scheduled backups in the past, I can't remember how to create (?) the file that will store the initial backup of data. I know that the scheduled backup files are .xml files, but surely I can't just use, say, Notepad to create a blank file with a .xml extension (e.g., tsbackup.xml) and expect Trackstat to write the initial backup to that file, can I? I don't remember creating such a file in the past, so I'm wondering if Trackstat automatically creates such a file on its own the first time a scheduled backup occurs. Thanks in advance for your help.

In truth, I'm afraid I'm likely to foul-up the process you've outlined (through faults of my own; not through any fault in your precise step-by-step instructions). My guess is that there are few users of Pandora, and fewer still who would find this feature of major importance to them.

If that's the case the obvious question for me is: What changed? Here are the only things I remember changing. 1. I upgraded to the latest version of the Material skin (i.e., 0.9.3) 2. Because I wanted to (a) pin a couple of new stations to add to the existing (and working) station and (b) change the order in which the newly-pinned stations were presented, I deleted the working station and begin to pin several stations including the previously working station. At this point I encountered the problem: All the stations were pinned, but none of them would play. The only other thing I can think of that might be a problem is that I'm running LMS Version: 7.9.1 - 0.7.20180404git1522249619 @ Mon May 14 10:51:59 EDT 2018. I run LMS on a Vortexbox appliance. My updates to LMS are handled via updates to the Vortexbox software, but obviously updates have not been offered in quite some time. I'm guessing I could figure out how to update LMS outside the Vortexbox update process, but I'm loathe to do this since everything aside from the Material skin pin problem is working fine. It's a case of "If it ain't broke don't fix it." This runs afoul of earlier behavior of my part: "If it ain't broke, break it." :) P.S.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Material Skin
Good morning. I have been using and admiring the Material skin for a couple of months. I like the convenience of being able to pin Apps and invoke them with a tap. My understanding is that Radio items should work the same way but for me they don't. >From within the "Radio" item I click on a station and am presented with the option to "pin to main page." I tap this option, and when I return to the Main (Browse) page the station is indeed pinned there, but when I click on the station nothing happens. This is true for both the desktop and mobile versions of the Material skin. I believe there was a time when clicking my pinned station did invoke the station and begin playing, but it's been a while since I tried that feature so I may be mistaken about this. In any event great work on the skin, Craig. I can live without the ability to start radio stations from a pinned status, but it is a nice feature. If someone can provide a tip concerning what I may be doing wrong I'd appreciate it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SmartMix 1.6: support for mobile browsers LMS 7.9 library views
Michael, Thanks for having a go at the Choose player issue. I installed Smart Mix 1.6.1, but I'm still experiencing the same result: The mix is directed to the same SB Classic every time, even when I have previously selected a different SB as the active player in Orange Squeeze on my Nexus tablet. If 1.6.1 is supposed to give me a choose player option (or is supposed to direct me back to Orange Squeeze to make the selection after I've created the mix on the Blender) I'm not seeing that option. I can fix this problem by selecting the desired player via the web interface. And I can, of course, work around the issue by synchronizing my SBs so that the SB preferred by Smart Mix is synchronized with the SB that I myself prefer. If a fix can be found for the issue, that would be great. Otherwise, it's not a big deal for me.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Smart Mix plugin
Michael, I just want to thank you for the Smart Mix plugin. I've just begun to scratch the surface of its apparent capabilities, but I'm already enjoying a good Jazz mix from my local music library right now. I do have one question. On your original posting announcing the plugin, you noted that that Smart Mix could Create smarter mixes with more control using one of the supported music services (at this time limited to Spotify, Deezer, MOG, Rhapsody/Napster). Of these music services, the only one I subscribe to is Rhapsody. However, I don't seem to have the capability of creating Rhapsody-related mixes. Creating mixes from my own music library works just fine. (And yes, I have toggled back an forth between the Don't use online music services in your mixes. Use your own music files only options and, yes, I'm using the 0.94 version of the plugin.) Can you (or another reader of this post) confirm that it is in fact possible to create Rhapsody mixes using Smart Mix?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] TrackStat - Desired feature...
I'm a Squeezebox-er and a licensed user (and big fan) of TrackStat. Because I'm a bit obsessive/compulsive I wish TrackStat could provide, for starters, the following data (as iTunes does): 1. Number of tunes (and, ideally, albums) I have played at least once 2. Number of tunes (and albums) I have never played I'd settle for this as a straight count, displayed to the GUI, without the necessity of showing which tunes/album meet the criteria. As retirement nears, and as I totter off into additional uselessness, my goal is to make sure I have listened--via my Squeezebox--to every album I own (and to follow my progress in doing so). radish112 -- radish112 radish112's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11591 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92055 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] TrackStat - Desired feature...
MeSue, Maybe. I note that http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Database_Query_plugin states: 1. The Database Query plugin provides a number of predefined queries, but you can also write your own using SQL statements. 2. Database Query plugin provides a way to download and share query definitions with other users, this is used in a number of different ways. 3. The latest version of the builtin query types are always available for download, this means that instead of waiting for a new official release of Database Query you can download a new query directly after it has been corrected by the developer. I use a VortexBox Appliance. My LMS Plugins tab shows that my Data queries directory is /storage/music/playlist, but I find no predefined queries there (or if they are there, I don't know how to find them). I don't know how to write my own SQL statements, so that's out. And as for downloading a new query, I don't know where to find them. So, although there may be predefined queries that do what I want (and even more), for now I don't know how to access them. I'm hoping that Erland will point me in the right direction.

One more try with with a different data query produced the same result.
