Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Solution: TrackStat data to iTunes export on Mac OS
I figured out a workaround to my problem, but I think it's an issue with how TrackStat_iTunes_Complete.txt (and TrackStat_iTunes_Hist.txt) is written. I did change my Date Time back to Germany, then I looked more closely at the text files written by TrackStat. When I was opening the files on my Windows system (using TextPad), I was getting an error saying that there was an unreadable character used and not compatible with Character Set 1251 (I think that was the character referenced). TextPad converted the character by removing it, so nothing looked amiss to me. However, when I opened the same file on my Mac, the Mac didn't complain about the character set, but there definitely was a strange character used throughout it. You'll notice that my file names contain a rather unique character: ¬. This is by design (and something I picked up from this forum years ago). 2008 ¬ 1-1 ¬ Offshore.mp3 When I open the TrackStat text files on my Mac, my files look one of two ways (I've seen both, and think it could be related to which system I use to view the files): 2008 Ŭ 1-1 Ŭ Offshore.mp3 (Å before the ¬) or 2008 ¨¬ 1-1 ¨¬ Offshore.mp3 (umlaut before the ¬) By searching for and replacing these characters (which is safe for me because I don't have any instance of Å and the umlauts I do have in my file names are always above another character and never alone), I was able to save the file and run it successfully to update my iTunes library. Erland, if you read this, do you have any thoughts on the issue, since it is TrackStat that is writing the file in the first place? -- prabbit prabbit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11142 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83307 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Solution: TrackStat data to iTunes export on Mac OS
I am having the same issues as both slope_rabbit (no relation =)) and netchord. Using your tip to netchord, I was able to modify the script so that I can choose the TrackStat_iTunes_Complete.txt file. Yes, it was grayed out and unable before I modified the script. The more pressing issue, actually, is the date and time issue that slope_rabbit had. The first thing I tried was changing my Date Time to Germany, but that didn't help so I set the Date Time back to United States. The second thing I tried was using the debugger tool provided on 2010-12-13 12:08. When I run that I get this message (I had to type it and this is exactly how it appears, except I removed line breaks): There has been an error: Failed conversion of ''20110406100221 using format ''%Y%m%d%H%M%S date: illegal time format usage: date [-jnu][-d dst][-r seconds][-t west][-v [+|-]val[ymwdHMS]]...[-f fmt date | [[[mm]dd]HH]MM[[cc]yy][.ss]] [+format] A couple things to note: 1. I assume some developer other than you was responsible for the message. I specifically used '' (two apostrophe) characters instead of (quotation marks) because that is what appears in the error message. I presume it's benign, but wanted to mention it. 2. Notice how the format was %Y%m%d%H%M%S (using an uppercase %Y), but the usage seems to indicate that it should be lowercase. I'm not a script writer, so I'm not certain it's a mistake. Just mentioning it. Finally, this is the entry (the first one) in my TrackStat_iTunes_Complete.txt file: Offshore|||/Volumes/MediaFiles/mp3_only/flac/Chicane/The Best of Chicane 1996-2008/2008 ¬ 1-1 ¬ Offshore.mp3|played|20110406100221|51|1|1316128156 Any insight or thoughts? Is there anything you need from me? -- prabbit prabbit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11142 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83307 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Solution: TrackStat data to iTunes export on Mac OS
The app is an AppleScript indeed. If you right-click it and choose Show
package contents you can look at the source in main.scpt.
When asking for the trackstat history file the script starts in your
iTunes Playlist folder per default. Only txt files are allowed. This
might be the reason all your files are grayed out. Trackstat writes
history file in format txt.
If you want to change this behavior simply remove of type {TXT} in
the script from line:
set fileRef to (choose file with prompt Select TrackStat history
file you want to apply: of type {TXT} default location (pathRef as
alias))

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Solution: TrackStat data to iTunes export on Mac OS
when i run this app i get a window that asks you select a trackstat history file to export. all the choices (there's probably 100) are grayed out and cannot be selected. any thoughts on why this might be the case? -- netchord -- 4 TB Drobo--FW 800--mac mini--Ethernet Transporter-- Wireworld Eclipse 6 coax--Meridian G61 G61-- Nordost Red Dawn--Primare 30.3 Primare--Ocos--Vienna Acoustics Beethoven/Maestro netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83307 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Solution: TrackStat data to iTunes export on Mac OS
Two possible reasons for the error message you're seeing: 1) the manually created TrackStat history file has the wrong format 2) there is a general problem with date conversion in the app on machines with a different localization than German language I have attached a small utility to diagnose the source of error: Just load the TrackStat history file and examine the output generated as text file. Please report back with it. +---+ |Filename: debug-TrackStatRatingExport.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10968| +---+ -- -tm- -tm-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37094 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83307 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Solution: TrackStat data to iTunes export on Mac OS
Thanks so much for doing all this work. I have been irked by the lack of iTunes/Trackstat integration ever since I got a new mac with Snow Leopard and became unable to install/use AppleScript::Glue. I downloaded your zip file, but it only contains the binary and no Readme or source files. When I run your script, it doesn't handle the date format that is created by TrackStat plugin (or for that matter, James Craig's iTunes plugin). Here is an excerpt of the format of both files from today: nas-96-85-77:/c/media/Music/Playlists# grep Tchintchirote TrackStat_iTunes_Hist.txt iTunes_Hist.txt TrackStat_iTunes_Hist.txt:Tchintchirote|||/media/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Cesaria Evora/Cabo Verde/01 Tchintchirote.m4a|played|20101211084250|60 iTunes_Hist.txt:Tchintchirote|Cesaria Evora|Cabo Verde|/media/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Cesaria Evora/Cabo Verde/01 Tchintchirote.m4a|played|20101211084633| The date format in both files is mmdd. Although I haven't been able to read your source, it appears that the application expects ddmm since it complains every time there is a number greater than 12 is in the last position. Additionally, it added songs played December 2nd to iTunes as played February 12th. Is there a setting or something else quite obvious that I am missing? If so, I am happy to admit stupidity and fix it. Thanks for your time.
