Hi all,
I had missed updating one of the plugin version numbers (I said it'd been a
while) and I think that was causing the plugin to think it was still out of
date.
I've updated the version on my website.
Nice to know people are still using it!
James
I've updated the iTunesUpdate version on my website with this new change, and
I've updated the repository used to update the plugins automatically.
It's been a long time, so fingers crossed...
James
NOTICE
Thanks!
Do you mind if I add this to the plugin package?
Is it worth keeping the original version?

That does imply some sort of discrepancy between the MP3 tags that SlimServer
is reading and the meta-data that iTunes is using. Do you see anything
obviously wrong when you look the Get Info screens in iTunes? Maybe different
types of apostrophe?
James
The first track has accented characters so I'm not really surprised it wasn't
found.
But the 2nd looks pretty simple - what happens if you type
The Beach Boys Made In U.S.A. Surfin' USA
Into the search box in iTunes itself? That's essentially what the plugin does
to find the tracks...
James
OK so the problem is with Mac::AppleScript::Glue.
I don't have a Mac so I can't really help with this, but maybe someone else can?

That's strange, half-star ratings are core iTunes functionality as far as I

You could check in the backed up iTunes database xml to see if it has half-star

From memory, if you're running on Windows with direct updates enabled, the
play time in iTunes is updated to whatever Perl thinks the current time is.
You could enable the debug level logging of iTunesUpdate and check the log
after playing a track - the output may contain some clues?
James
Sorry, not using iTunes 10 myself.
The plugin stopping working after an iTunes upgrade is a fairly common issue
(on Windows) and reinstallating usually fixes the issue. Seems like it fails to
install the COM components sometimes.
Anyone using iTunes 10 without issues?

Hi Frederik,
Thanks very much for doing what I am too busy (lazy) to do.
I'm happy to add your patch to the official SqueezeScrobbler if you want?
I still don't understand why people are using SqueezeScrobbler rather than the
official plugin though!
James
OK, I'll take a look at the weekend - it looked mainly like syntax changes in
the plugin API.
I thought someone said if you're outside the supported countries, LastFM stops
permanently after 30 songs?
Is that not the case?
James
corrupted in some way?
The only thing I can suggest is adding the following to the Plugin.pm file to
enable printing of the Applescript being executed:
$Mac::AppleScript::Glue::Debug{SCRIPT} = 1;
Perhaps this will shed some light on the problem?
James
This is a bit puzzling.
I assume the plugin isn't disabled because it wouldn't show up in the menus.
You are playing local files, not internet radio or similar?
Can you post a full log file from server startup?

iTunesUpdate doesn't use the iTunes library file, it communicates directly with
the iTunes application.
It can only do this on Windows or OSX.
Instructions for using iTunesUpdate on LINUX are in the plugin's readme file.
James
I would guess that you don't have perl installed on your Mac?
Or maybe one needs to explicitly call perl on the script e.g.
perl ./iTunesUpdate.pl /Volumes/media/Music/Playlists/iTunes_Hist.txt
I'm not really a Mac expert though.
James
. That implies your iTunes
doesn't know where its files are, which would be a bit worrying!
I'll add the perl path, I'd thought I'd done that before!
