I suppose you mean the LMS rating tag. Yes, I know, the rating value stored in the tracks_persistent database. But that's *LMS's own* rating tag. The *metadata containers* of my m4a/alac, mp3, flac and APE *files* don't share -one- common rating tag (if at all) where I could store the rating so it could travel with the file across different OS and applications. And the LMS rating value exists only if you have -rated a track in LMS or imported a rating using a plugin- like the (no longer maintained) -CustomScan- - which required a second scan of all of your files. BTW even CustomScan would ask you to specify the tag where you'd stored your rating (like grouping or -comment-...). And Trackstat was - among other things - basically a means to store your ratings (imported with CustomScan or rated in LMS) separate from the LMS database so it could survive a clean wipe and be rebuilt afterwards. And I've always done a clean wipe before rescanning for the last 10(?) years. So if you use your tracks across different OS with different applications - which like LMS all have their own metadata databases and ways of dealing with ratings - it's proven to be a lot easier to use some tag like comment to store the rating and display it everywhere. That's why I don't use Erland's deprecated plugins anymore and that's why my tracks_persistent database has no entries. All I want to do is display that rating. I've never supposed this would be part of the standard Material release. That's why I forked your repo. I just need some help with the missing JavaScript link between the returned comment tag value and the display of the rating (as explained in #5712). I hope I could explain why and how I do it that way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ afriend's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=39306 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
