This must be handled in the TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl perl, as James said earlier the iTunesUpdate.pl script delivered with the iTunes Update plugin has an option to ignore this. I took a quick look to see if there are any differences between the TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl script and the iTunesUpdate.pl script that does this, but I couldn't find any. Have you tried if it works with the current TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl script ? James, if you are still reading this, maybe you can help to tell me where this logic is implemented so I can merge it into the TrackStat version of the perl script.

The current implementation checks if a file with the iTunes extension exist on the disk, if it does it uses it, if it doesn't it uses the extension you have set in the configuration. The reason it doesn't do it like you describe is performance. I'm not sure it will affect the performance that much though, it still needs to lookup the track in the SlimServer database in a later stage when writing the imported information to the database, so doing it once more might not affect the performance that much. I would prefer to not spend a lot of time implementing different configuration options for the iTunes integration stuff in TrackStat at the moment. The reason is that the only reason I'm using this integration myself is to get the music to the iPod. My feeling is that the new iPod plugin I'm working on will do this in a much better way since it doesn't involve iTunes, log files and two operating systems (I run SlimServer on Linux and iTunes on Windows). However, if you do some change in the TrackStat code/scripts to make them work better in your environment, I'll be happy to include these changes in a future version. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37986 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
