I have a question about the ratings backup file that the Ratings Light plugin is to create, either manually or automatically via a scheduled time specified by the user.
After installing the Ratings Light plugin I chose the parent folder into which RL files would be saved. I then ran a manual backup, which produced the RL folder and--inside that newly-created folder--a backup file. Here are the contents of the backup file: --------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!-- Backup of Rating Values --> <!-- 2021-05-03 09:47:08 --> <!-- contains 403 rated tracks --> <RatingsLight> --------------------------------------- RL states that the backup file allows one to "Backup all rated tracks (from your entire library) and their rating values in a single backup file," so I was surprised to find no tracks with ratings data in the file , particularly given that RL found 404 rated tracks. (I used to use Trackstat, but to be on the safe side I uninstalled it when I upgraded LMS to version 8.1.2. I guess the tracks that RL discovered are from Trackstat; the Now Playing screen in LMS continues to show the correct number of "stars" for tracks I have rated even though I uninstalled Trackstat, and I have run several "clear library and rescan everything" scans since then. I thought that maybe I needed to play and rate some more tunes and then run the manual backup again, maybe "waking up" the now-installed RL somehow. So I did that, and this time when I ran the manual backup, RL produced no additional backup file at all. I tried a couple of more times with the same outcome. So my questions are: How do I get RL to produce a backup file that shows my rated tracks and their ratings? How do I get RL to produce an updated version of that file every time I choose to run a manual backup? I'm grateful for the Ratings Light backup; I just need to learn how to succeed at using i ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish112's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11591 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113344 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
