Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Plugins for rating and smart playlists using SQL
erland wrote: The functionality is not available in the plugin and it's unlikely that I'll add something that modifies or delete music files. If you are not using the music folder browse method and you are not doing this because you want to save storage space, I would personally recommend that you rather delete the tracks from the LMS database than deleting them physically from the disk. I think you should be able to do this by adding the necessary SQL statement in SQL/SQLite/schema_optimize.sql of your LMS installation. If I remember correctly the schema_optimize.sql script is executed at the end of every rescan. It might be good enough to just delete them from the tracks table using a SQL like this in schema_optimize.sql: Code: DELETE FROM tracks JOIN track_statistics ON tracks.url=track_statistics.url WHERE track_statistics.rating0 AND track_statistics.rating40; If this doesn't work, you might have to remove the entries from genre_track,playlist_track and contributor_track tables before you remove them from tracks table. You don't have to remove them from the track_statistics and tracks_persistent tables if you don't want to, the information in track_statistics and track_persistent will just be ignored if they don't exist in tracks table. Correct, the LMS database will be updated next time you do a full rescan, I don't think a scan for new/changed files will remove deleted files correctly. You will find the description of the TrackStat tables on the wiki: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin#Database_structure The SQL to use to get the files would probably be something like this: Code: SELECT DISTINCT tracks.url FROM tracks JOIN track_statistics ON tracks.url=track_statistics.url WHERE track_statistics.rating0 AND track_statistics.rating40; Something that's going to complicate things is that this will return url and they will even be URL encoded urls. So it will return something like Code: file:///mnt/flacmusic/Christina%20Aguilera%20-%20Back%20To%20Basics%20Disc%202/I%20Got%20Trouble.flac And to get the file, you need to first url decode it to get: Code: file:///mnt/flacmusic/Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics Disc 2/I Got Trouble.flac And then convert it from a URL to a file to get: Code: /mnt/flacmusic/Christina Aguilera - Back To Basics Disc 2/I Got Trouble.flac If you are doing something in perl, there is a conversion function Code: Slim::Utils::Misc::pathFromFileURL in LMS source code which will convert the URL encoded url to a file, you will find it in the Misc.pm file: https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/blob/public/7.8/Slim/Utils/Misc.pm Thank you for the info the other week Erland. I had help from a Nix friend and we solved the task with automatic deletion from low Trackstat rated tracks. It is a 2 step proces. 1. I use your plugin Database Query to shoot the query you gave me above. I click the link to get info in the browser. It then displays all tracks that are lower rated than 40% 2. I copy paste this info into a specific location, where my specificly named file is located, and paste info into this file. 3. I run a script that displays number of tracks in file - convert all lines from URL to path on server - and finally delete all the tracks in the txt file. So I think this works in a good way. Thank you for background info to enable us to do this. Is there an easier way to shoot the SQL to the DB other than going via your plugin in SBSs web-GUI?

Hi Erland, I finally mustered enough courage to engage in a SQL project. I contacted you on this topic a couple of years ago. At that time you were not interested in looking into this. I would like to be able to delete music files/songs based on their strackstat rating. Is this possible already with the GUI ? If not me and a friend will try to do this with a script. I intend to test wit a small subset of a copy of my collection. All songs with a rating of less than 40% should be deleted from the filesystem. I anticipate that the SB db will be updated accordingly next time music scan is run. Can you give me the info I need to access the strackstat db?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Inguz moving forward?
I have now done some sweeps. First I did them with a great freeware program HolmImpulse http://www.holmacoustics.com/holmimpulse.php. Here I could actually measure the freq. response of my loudspeakers. Very interesting. But when I ran your DRC I got an error that it needed both channels to work. I would be happy if you could find 5 minutes to have look at my log-files attached. When doing the sweep from Holm Impulse, I let the program make and record the sweep, so cabling is somewhat different than what is suggested here in the recording guide at http://inguzaudio.com/measurement/recording-sweeps/. However the process of recording both left and right channels (with one directly from the sorce and the other via speaker/mic setup is identical for both the Holm and the Audacity setups. My Audacity attempt was more successfull but not without errors. See log -file prep(audacity).log. It returns errors about 2 libxxx.dlls that are missing. I have downloaded them to the same dir, but still the same error. This work is being done on a Windows 7 machine as administrator. My wav files from HolmImpulse are only 80 KB and sound like small blobs, where the ones from Audacity are 3 MB each and here the full sweep is clearly discernible with room reverberation. What can be wrong in this picture??? Attached please also find all the wav-files that are output. Anyone any ideas - I'm getting at my wits-end...

I don't know what a dot-bar is. Can you explain this? What I see in long lists, is a vertical band spanning the entire height of the screen (iPod/iPhone), with letters to touch, that will take you to artists/albums/Years starting with that letter that you select in this bar. This is what I call a silk-bar as it is somewhat transparent. In short if I go to My Music/Artists I see this band, and can click it, and jump to artists starting with the desired letter.

Yes in the playlists that Erland mentions, you should be able to reproduce the bug. However I do se the alphabetical silk-band in the right side of the artists selection as a second input after you have selected the playlist that Erland mentioned above. But when I do click one of the letters, I do not get to the letter that I clicked on. So the feature is not working. Thanks for clarifying Erland. And no I won't hold you to a certain release date.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: License Manager, plugins/applets going commercial
Hi Erland, I was dumb-struck to see you starting to force payment for your plugins through License Mgr. I think it is the beginning of the end for a great way to enjoy music (Squeezebox). I have been using your plugins for 2 years, and consider my use relatively advanced. And I frequently use SQL-Playlist, Trackstat, and Dynamic-Playlists. But over the last 2 years however, iTunes has also come a long way and although I hate letting Apple decide which file-type my music is stored in, and taking many other decisions for me (that I really would not like them to), I just see that their iTunes, is a marvel that with the right filters, will actually do much the same things that your plugins deliver. Furthermore in the SB scheme, many drawbacks exist, i.e. I have a big problem with the Squeezebox concept, that I have no way in the controller to actually delete, or change tags on my music right there, while listening to songs (you can in iTunes). And many other idiosynchrosies all line up to make me think twice about staying with SB anymore. For these operations you need to go into a second interface (for which I use MediaMonkey). I have been happy using your plugins in the past, which are great. But I do consider them a product of your passion to this fine music-machine the SB. And a testiment to this great community and you have received donations from many people for your hobby over time. However now you have turned commercial - it really makes me sad to see SB this fine musical concept, that I considered a great alternative to Apple's media-conglomeration turn to just another PAYWARE. Not so anymore. I feel that you have caved in to commercial interest and I feel sorry for you. This is not the future for Open Source SW. You should also consider that paying customers are much more tough to please than users of free plugins. I hope you quit your dayjob, as I think that support will take on another dimension for you. And I am not sure you would like to be just another tech-supporter... I have paid the 20$ for one year's use of all your plugins although I only use the above mentioned 3, but will now seriously investigate how I can churn to iTunes for the same functionality than with your plugins. I just hate to leave the 'free' world of SB thinking. If you consider the greater scheme of things, the SB really is a small marginal platform. Almost none of my friends/colleagues know it. Consider then the amount of the actual subset of (advanced) users, that find your plugins attractive enough to buy, and you realize that the amount of your potential 'customers' are quickly dwindling into less than a hundred or about there. And when you painted September black - going commercial, you will now further reduce the amount of SB followers. Your commercial decision will now be the last straw to take me on another route to my music. This September was indeed black - And I hope you will reconsider your license idea. I urge you to. I enjoyed my music more before having to pay also for your plugins. Best regards - and the hopes for a prosperous and profitable future in your company. I would hate to learn that SB suffers the same destiny as automanufacturer SAAB. -- excalibur excalibur's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33971 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90410 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
