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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cpd73's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66686 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109624 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
