No I meant tags within the files. FMPS_RATING can be used for MP3, APE,
Vorbis, iTunes::FMPS_rating for MP4, FMPS/Rating for ASF

However, I didn't mean to get into an argument - you can store you
ratings wherever. But, if LMS does not return your rating when 'tags:R'
is used there is no use in this setting within Material unless TrackStat
is installed. That was my main point. And you still have not answered
this - perhaps because you don't know?

As to how to modify Material to obtain your ratings via the comments tag
- I suggest you try and use Material's custom JS loading. Create
'material-skin/custom.js' in your LMS's prefs folder. Material will load
this at start-up. You could use this to overwrite some Material
functions, etc. This would save you having to maintain a fork. See
https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-material/wiki/Detailed-Information for
more details.

Alternatively, have LMS read your ratings and store in its DB - this
would then work for all clients. It's probably as simple as writing a
plugin to be run after each scan to extract the tags.



*Material debug:* 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json
(Use http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json,cometd to also see update
messages, e.g. play queue) 2. Open browser's developer tools 3. Open
console tab in developer tools 4. REQ/RESP messages sent to/from LMS
will be logged here.
