Hi, I've been desperately trying to get either iTunesUpdate or TrackStat/CustomScan to work for exporting rating stats to iTunes. It does not work on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard). I've posted this issue before back in March. In the meantime there have been many error reports from other users on this forum. To sum up:
- iTunesUpdate as well as the TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl script from TrackStat rely on the Mac::AppleScript::Glue module. This module translates Perl code to AppleScript. - The execution of both results in an error -1753 (within the server log for iTunesUpdate, and within Terminal for TrackStat). - It seems the problem is with the Glue package. The latest version 0.03 dates back to the year 2002. There are no updates and the homepage of the developer does not exist anymore (see http://search.cpan.org/~jlabovitz/Mac-AppleScript-Glue-0.03/Glue.pm). - The package installed without errors on my system via CPAN. When trying to reinstall Mac::AppleScript::Glue or Mac::AppleScript::Glue::Application or Mac::AppleScript::Glue::Object or Mac::AppleScript, CPAN states that all packages are installed and that there are no updates available. - I'm running Mac OS X 10.5 with Squeezebox Server 7.5.1 and iTunes 10. First, I'd like to know if there is anyone with this configuration for whom iTunesUpdate or TrackStat's iTunes Export is actually working? If so we could try to figure out what they have done differently. I can do some AppleScript'ing, however, unfortunately I have never touched Perl so far. It would take months for me to translate the Perl script to AppleScript. Is there someone who has translated the Perl scripts into AppleScript? This really would be an option as the history files from iTunesUpdate or TrackStat/CustomScan get written properly. I know James is on a Windows machine, but Erland has access to a Mac. Erland, are you running Squeezebox Server on Linux or on Mac? Maybe we could try to translate your script to AppleScript together? IMHO, it would really be a big win to get rating sync working between iTunes and Squeezebox Server.
