Hi Is anyone having problems getting itunes to work with half stars using James Craig excellent itunes updater. I am going to try for a complete install today, but so far I cannot get half stars working Thanks alex -- ajmitchell http://www.last.fm/user/ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87158 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] itunes half-stars
ok I have reinstalled everything including the latest itunes and latest SC and latest itunesupdater. When I select half stars, they ARE shown on the player and the duet remote. But they do not appear in itunes itself. Only the nearest whole star is reported. Under itunesupdater the option for half stars is ON. Please help if you can thanks alex -- ajmitchell http://www.last.fm/user/ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87158 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] itunes half-stars
Well I found the solution after googling. Apparently v10 of itunes has a nasty habit of defaulting back to full stars. In order to restore half stars and functionality of itunesupdater you need to do the following modification to the iTunesPrefs.xml file (I recommend you make a back up of this first): 1. Make sure you are closed out of the iTunes application. 2. Navigate to your iTunesPrefs.xml file. ItÂ’s normally located in one of the locations below. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes in Windows XP or C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes in Vista and Windows 7. 3. Open the file using a text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad. 4. Scroll down to where is says: keyUser Preferences/key dict 5. Immediately below that line, type the following: keyallow-half-stars/key data dHJ1ZQ== /data 6. Close and save the iTunesPrefs.xml file. Now, the next time you open iTunes, you should be able to give songs a rating using half-stars. The new half-star rating system is even compatible with any iPod devices you sync up with. -- ajmitchell http://www.last.fm/user/ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87158 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] itunes updater and half stars etc?
many thanks indeed; reinstalled painlessly! Your plug-in is essential IMHO!! One question, after my HD crash I lost the current files and had to restall from a back up but I seem to have lost my half star ratings. Only the full stars 1-5 reinstalled when I reloaded the database. Any idea what might be wrong? Are the half stars stored in the standard itunes database? thanks alex -- ajmitchell http://www.last.fm/user/ajmitchell ajmitchell's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=800 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86625 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: slimfx - Flash-based Skin / Control App
Please keep ideas coming for this awesome skin. Its so smooth compared with the web-based browser that comes as default in SC. I don't find the load time a problem (about 60-80seconds on first refresh) and it does load the data in 7.2 for me. I believe the CLI plug-in is active by default. The main issue seems to be that no remote connections to the main server will work ? //yourip:9000/slimfx. I even tried a PS3 browser which loads the interface but not the data. Same for laptop.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: itunesupdate 2.0 not updating ratings but otherwise ok?
It works fine if I only use one squeezebox. If I syn to any of my other players then the ratings doesn't get logged but the playcount does! Once unsynched itunesupdate web reports correctly: eg. Title: Great Gaels Of Ireland iTunes Rating: iTunes Play Count: 4 iTunes Last Played: 12-Dec-2006 15:59:20 iTunes Skip Count: 1 iTunes Last Skipped: 31-Dec-2006 12:41:24 Because I synch much of the time this is why I reported it doesnt usually work for me. Might be worth listing this as a bug although once you know about it its not such a big deal.
