Do you have a small file with Trackyear which you can mail me so I can
try it in my own setup ?
Also, please include the customscan.prefs file so I know your exact
configuration.
The tag parser is the one used by SBS, so it probably reads all tags
but it's strange if it writes ratings based on anything else than the
below mentioned tags.
The intention is that it should take ratings from:
- MP3 files: POPM, POP or custom rating tag specified in the Rating Tag
configuration.
- WMA files: WM/SharedUserRating, SHAREDUSERRATING or custom rating tag
specified in the Rating Tag configuration.
- Other files: Custom rating tag specified in the Rating Tag
configuration.

Experimental support for incremental scanning is available in the
Custom Scan (3.0.preXXXX) alpha version available in my alpha testing
repository. At the moment it's only triggered by an incremental rescan
in SBS and rescans the tracks SBS scanner has detected to be changed,
so you probably need to do a full rescan once and then let it be
triggered by SBS rescans and it will just perform an incremental rescan
which should be almost as fast as a new/changed rescan in standard SBS
scanner.
The alpha repository can be found here:
Code:
--------------------
http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/alpha.xml
--------------------
The alpha version requires 7.6.0 or later SBS version and its special
logic is only applied if it's triggered by a SBS rescan. If you start
it from Custom Scan settings page it's going to work the same as the
official Custom Scan 2.8.xxxx release.
How would you like to use incremental scanning support ? Do you like it
to be triggered by file modification timestamps or by detecting which
tracks that already have ratings or some other way ? I guess file
modification timestamps is best ? (which is what the alpha version
currently uses as it uses SBS logic).
