No, I do not want to request rating with a separate call - this would be slow for a large queue of items. I'm *only* going to obtain rating via the 'R' tags parameter. Why does your plugin not also set the rating in LMS? TrackStat appears to do this - as in if I set a rating via Material it is returned in the 'R' parameter. *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 plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
