I'm using iTunesUpdate since several years without any problem, but
since some months Im losing my ratings in iTunes. It took me some
while to realize that this happen so I don't know which change caused
the problem, but I guess it came with a new version of the iTunes
Update Plugin some months ago.
What should iTunes Update v 2.1.2 write into the file iTunes_hist.txt
when I don't rate a song with the remote? I was used to that it just
wrote the action "played" and a timestamp:
...|played|20070616130753|
However, as I can see it in the iTunes_hist.txt, since some months the
plugin writes after a timestamp also a "0" for all songs that I didnt
rate:
...|played|20070616130753|0
After running iTunesUpdate.pl the rating in iTunes will be set to
NULL, so I lose it. As soon as I remove the 0 in the txt File the
update Script doesnt reset the rating.
Should there really be a 0 in the log file, even if I dont rate the
song? And if now, how can I change this?
As a workaround I edited the file iTunesUpdate.pl so the rating wont
be updated if either no rating is defined or the rating is 0:
Original (Line 189): if ($data{rating} ne "" {
Work around : if ($data{rating} ne "" and $data{rating} ne 0) {
Another Problem I do have:
The Skip Count and the timestamp for Last Skipped are newer updated in
iTunes, even if the txt file says that the song was skipped:
...|skipped|20070616130753|
Any feedback to solve this problem is welcome
