I am using the Rating Tag module to take the RATING tag from my flacs. I also have an automatic Rating scan set up (not manual as is the default), along with mixed and custom tags. That's why I am so puzzled as to why a rescan did not take the updated RATING tags (several hundred) but left them as they were.
It got to a point where if I did an enquiry on a track (song) to see the details, the Rating tag half way down was shown as value 60, but the Rating *'s higher up the track info showed it was stubbornly set at 4 * (the previous rating value was 70). Further, SQL code I used to read tags in the range 60 did not see all the tracks with that value (using the track_statistics.rating attribute). I therefore assume that there is some logic which prevents the custom scan rating module from changing ratings to those in the flacs in some instances. I had to give up on the past trackstat data (much of which I lost anyway due to directory permissions on my VB, so no great loss), clear it all out and start from scratch. All ratings now have their correct value, and my SQL retrieves them all correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49483 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
