Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat statistics and Spotty content
I guess the following if statement only updating lastPlayed/play counts if isFile returns true is likely to cause issues ? https://github.com/erland/lms-trackstat/blob/fe583776eafce682086a0cc2731a8676b67652f6/src/Plugin.pm#L4259 Yep, isFile() would fail on remote tracks. And the following code will likely not work if persistent handling isn’t implemented for remote tracks: https://github.com/erland/lms-trackstat/blob/fe583776eafce682086a0cc2731a8676b67652f6/src/Plugin.pm#L5000 Yes again. That's something I'm currently looking into. I suspect there are more issues than these in the plugin code so it might not be worth the time to fix issues in LMS core unless someone also is willing to fix the issues in the plugin. There are other uses to that data. Even built in to LMS. So I'll look into implementing statistics for imported remote tracks anyway. ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat statistics and Spotty content
Hi Erland & Michael, I've been thinking about this case & am not sure if the fault really lies in Trackstat mishandling online tracks, because they are picked up perfectly in the Trackstat XML -including - ratings (as you can see in my screenshot above). Isn't the problem more that things like "Last Played" and "Playcount" are not stored in the database for online tracks? Because those are missing when I compare the info from the Song Info screen in the LMS UI: LOCAL TRACK: 34107 *Spotify track in my library, but without Last Played and Playcount*: 34108 Or are they added by TrackStat? Anyway, Ratings Light installed fine (hence the double ratings in the screenshots) & looks very promising! Thanks, Randy +---+ |Filename: b.

Take a look at the new Ratings Light plugin. If I remember correctly it
includes some integration with Dynamic Playlist plugin and possibly it
might include the functionality you need. Its also actively maintained
so you can wish for new features if something is missing.

Are you sure ?
I think I only filer on tracks.audio=1 but I might have done some
unintentional filtering that cause it to not work.
Someone would have to check the plugin code but it wouldnt surprise me

Unfortunately I probably wont have the time to look at it myself in the
near future and I suspect there might be unintentional bugs in the
plugin code also causing it to not work with remote tracks.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat statistics and Spotty content
Hi, First of all I want to profess how extremely happy our family is with the Squeezebox ecosystem (after all these years). And the satisfaction has even grown now that Spotty is so well integrated into the LMS library; its wonderful to have local and Spotify albums available and searchable in one place. By importing whole Spotify albums I can now add ratings to Spotify songs too, in order to have them selected & played dynamically by the various Dynamic Playlists (such as All top-rated songs in Genre x). Theres only 1 downside: it appears that the current Trackstat-Dynamic Playlist combo can only make use of the date added and the rating itself: 34092 (This is from the Trackstat xml) ...while local songs have more statistics available, such as last played and playcount 34093 This means that locally starred songs wont be repeated in a playlist (or even have them not repeated within x days), but with Spotify I get duplicates/repeats really soon. So, I guess my question is: would it be possible to have these statistics also available for online/Spotty content? Im not sure if this is a Plugin or even a LMS database problem Or maybe others have made creative solutions for this problem that I havent thought of? Cheers!

As far as I know none of my plugins support the library concept.
Unfortunately my time is limited these days which is the main reason
Ive decided to stop maintaining my plugins, so unless another developer
decides to take over maintenance there is no plans to add support for
libraries.
If anyone wants library support Id suggest encourage the Ratings Light
developer to add support in Ratings Light plugin.

This -could- be an issue with Material - you need to confirm if it is sending the library ID when making TrackStat calls. If you use Material's JSON debug (see my sig) you can see the REQ messages sent to LMS. You should check to confirm that "library_id:X" (X is the library ID, so will differ) is sent in the REQ messages. However, it is also possible that TrackStat does not use library_id even if it is passed. *Material debug:* 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json (Use http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json,cometd to also see update messages, e.g. play queue) 2. Open browser's developer tools 3.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] TrackStat and Library Views
Hi All I am hoping someone can help me with a little query. I have conducted a search and saved the result as a Library View. Using Material Skin I have pinned TrackStat to the main menu based on the Library View. When I use TrackStat, however, there is no obvious difference than using it with my whole library even though TrackStat is showing on the main menu as being pinned with the library selection. I had hoped that TrackStat would limit itself to the library selection so that I could search within the library view for, say, albums which have been played the least. The results that come back are based on all my music files. Am I missing the point somewhere? Thanks.

The folder /usr/local/slimserver is piCorePlayer is a symlink to /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/slimserver, so it's the same. I tried using the zip provided, but it gets erased at slimserver startup: LMS finds Trackstat, a pop-up in the web-interface says it should be updated, and gives the option to restart LMS (piCore is not restarted).

For your convenience, I also place the latest version as an attachment, unzip it and copy it to where it belongs. +---+ |Filename: TrackStat-3.3.602.zip| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=31147| +---+ HB64's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14945 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112640 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure that I'll have the time to attempt the import of the track_history data with the risk that I may break my LMS installation and the additional time that would take to fix. Is it possible to view the history of all the occasions when a particular track has been played?

You'd need to export the data from the copy and import it into the current one (deleting the data in the table before doing so). Most DB editors should be able to do this (including the CLI sqlite3 client).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] TrackStat plugin - location of data to manually amend entry?
In the end, I decided to delete the LMS installation I had on my NAS, which was the *NAStools* app for ReadyNAS version *7.9.0.b7dfc80-nt1* and re-install but upgrade to version *7.9.3 - 1591161343* instead. Then restore all my TrackStat data from the backup file. I am now back to where I was but I am still keen to find out why my amendment to the playCount values for the tracks on a single release seemed to bork my entire LMS operation since that seemed to be the easiest and quickest way restoring playCount values for tracks where I have had to amend the filename and / or filepath. In addition, this version of LMS installs to a different location that the previous one and whilst I can see the files when I SSH into the NAS as root, I can't seem to do that using my file manager (Finder), which would be quicker and more useful ultimately for me.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] TrackStat plugin - location of data to manually amend entry?
Thanks for your reply. Have managed to screw up my LMS, no audio even though the web GUI + iPeng app both show that tracks are playing; unable to pause tracks, clicking pause just makes the track go back to the beginning and start playing again. So... deleted persist.db and am now in the rather long process of restoring it from a TrackStat backup file which I hope will fix the above issues. The sequence of actions that got me to this unfortunate state were: - after your helpful link to 'this thread' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112532-Create-PLaylist-based-on-MediaMonkey-tags) which confirmed that the data I was looking to amend was contained with the SQLite database called *persist.db*, I thought, great, I just need to get an application that can browse and amend databases on macOS. - which was possible by grabbing a copy of 'DB Browser for SQLite' (https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/), which has versions for most platforms. - Unfortunately, navigating to the requsitite location on my NAS (/data/.apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/cache/), I was unable to open *persist.db* using DB Browser. I also noticed that there were two other files with similar names *persist.db-shm* and *persist.db-wal*, from researching, these were temp files and when I stopped the LMS app, they disappeared and only reappeared when the LMS server was running. - As I was unable to access the db in its location, I copied it to my desktop where I was able to open it up with DB Browser, open up the table *track_statistics*, search and locate the specific rows for all the tracks on this one specific release, amend the playCOUNT value to what it was previously before I changed the filenames, saved and closed the database. - I then copied this file back to the location in NAS overwriting the *persist.db* there. - started the LMS and... no audio... - so I deleted *persist.db* and restored from the TrackStat backup file... that has now completed but LMS is still broken. What have I done? :( - server.log shows Code: frame 45: main::main (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/slimserver.pl line 1213) [20-07-10 11:41:07.5025] Slim::Schema::Storage::throw_exception (122) Error: Carp::Clan::__ANON__(): DBI Exception: DBD::SQLite::db prepare_cached failed: no such table: tracks_persistent [for Statement "SELECT me.id, me.urlmd5, me.url, me.musicbrainz_id, me.added, me.playcount, me.lastplayed, me.rating FROM tracks_persistent me WHERE ( urlmd5 = ? )"] at /apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Schema/Storage.pm line 126 [20-07-10 11:41:07.5052] Slim::Schema::Storage::throw_exception (122) Backtrace: frame 0: Slim::Utils::Log::logBacktrace (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Schema/Storage.pm line 122) frame 1: Slim::Schema::Storage::throw_exception (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/CPAN/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 598) frame 2: DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::dbh_do (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/CPAN/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 1297) frame 3: DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_execute (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/CPAN/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 1532) frame 4: DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_select (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/CPAN/DBIx/Class/Storage/DBI.pm line 2031) frame 5: DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::select_single (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/lib/DBIx/Class/ResultSet.pm line 745) frame 6: DBIx::Class::ResultSet::single (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Schema/Track.pm line 562) frame 7: Slim::Schema::Track::retrievePersistent (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Player/Song.pm line 634) frame 8: Slim::Player::Song::open (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Player/StreamingController.pm line 1221) frame 9: Slim::Player::StreamingController::_Stream (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Player/StreamingController.pm line 288) frame 10: Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Player/StreamingController.pm line 739) frame 11: Slim::Player::StreamingController::_nextTrackReady (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Player/StreamingController.pm line 693) frame 12: Slim::Player::StreamingController::__ANON__ (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Player/Song.pm line 337) frame 13: Slim::Player::Song::getNextSong (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Player/StreamingController.pm line 698) frame 14: Slim::Player::StreamingController::_getNextTrack (/apps/nastools-logitechmediaserver/slimserver/Slim/Player/StreamingController.pm line 953) frame 15: Slim::Player::StreamingController::_StopGetNext

Would it be possible for you to do the following ?
1. Shutdown LMS and take a copy of library.db file in LMS Cache
directory and zip it and mail it to me
2. Mail me the server.log file or the section of the server.log file
which contains the errors regarding the files that aren't properly
restored
3. Zip and mail me the TrackStat backup file which you are trying to
restore
This will make it a bit easier for me to understand what's going on.

Have you waited for the restore operation to finish ?
It runs in the background and it can take a few hours if you have a
large library or a large backup file.
There is a message in the LMS server.log file when the restore has
completed.
If you have the "Find alternative files" option enabled in TrackStat
backup settings page it should find the files as long as it's only the
beginning of the path that has changed. However, it can take a long time
to run the restore operation with this option enabled.

I think I checked the server log and saw that the restore has finished, can't be sure though.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] TrackStat - Is it possible to view the actual stored statistics
Thank you Wirrunna for your response. I have read Erland's Wiki page describing TrackStat and that is what got me interested in the available statistics. Under the section titled Available Statistics it says the following: The TrackStat plugin stores the following different statistic information: -Rating -The last time a song was played -The number of time a song has been played -The time a song was added to SqueezeCenter -A history log of exactly when each song has been played or rated So for example when I select Home/TrackStat/Choose Statistics To View/Songs/Lasts Played Songs. I get a listing of songs in the order that they were played. When I mouse over a song title I see the play count in parenthesis and the rating displayed to the right. I was hoping there was a way to drill down to the statistics listed above for a individual song.

I have been using TrackStat for about a month and I really like it. What a wonderful plugin. I would like to know if it is possible to view the actual stored TrackStat statistics for a particular song using the web interface (i.e. the date it was last played, the play count, the date added, etc.). I don't see a way to do it but could be missing something. I do see the play count displayed in parenthesis when I mouse over a song in one of the TrackStat predefined statistic lists.

They will of course be in the old backup.
If you make a new backup the duplicates will be gone in that file, so if
you want to go back it's probably a good idea to keep the old backup
file.
Of course, as you continue to play music in your library the old backup
file will be inaccurate, so it's probably not worth much to keep it
after you have verified that things seems to look as you want.
If it looks like your rating/playback statistics looks reasonably
correct now, I would suggest that you just make sure to disable the
musicbrainz setting in the TrackStat settings page and enjoy the music
instead of investigating the duplicate issue further. Feels like it's
going to be a lot of work to fix it manually and I doubt it's worth the
trouble if it looks reasonably correct now.

Anyway, the main purpose of this post is to say that I think I found out
at what points the missing ratings are produced (i.e. the reason why I

to the next song. It does not happen every time, but maybe every other
time. So, it seems there is some bug in Trackstat that prevents it from
doing it's job in those cases where the song is not played until the
end.
As I write this, it occurs to me that it might depend on how much of the
song has been played. So I made a quick test: I skipped the song
currently playing at about 70 percent and then checked its rating: it
was unrated. I then skipped ahead the next song when it was just about
20 percent into the song: it was rated correctly.
Here are my threshold settings in Trackstat:
Minimum played percent = 1%
Automatic rating increase percentage = 95%
Automatic rating decrease percentage = 50%
What seems to be relevant here is the 50 percent threshold which is
obviously triggered when I skip ahead before half the track is played.
This works fine, according to my quick test above. But if I skip ahead
at a later point in the track, the rating should not be decreased (and
neither should it be increased unless more than 95% have been played).
It seems that the error of missing ratings occurs in that window where
the previous rating should be neither decreased nor increased.
Apparently, Trackstat is so busy complying with the do not change
previous rating rule that it forgets the rate unrated track rule. Is
that possible?
I can confirm that you have found the problem, the behaviour in
TrackStat currently is that if an unrated track is played longer than
the lower limit but not long enough to increase the rating it's left
unchanged rater than set to the default rating value. I'll put it on the
todo list to fix this, but I want to make really sure I don't break
anything else so it will require a bit of investigation and due to this
make take some time.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat and duplicate Musicbrainz GUID's
Just an idea to get round the problem of track GUID's being duplicated on multiple releases (as explained in Erland's wiki - http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/TrackStat_plugin)... If files were to be tagged with the Musicbrainz *release* GUID as well, this value could be used by Trackstat along with the track GUID to identify a unique instance of a particular recording. Is that doable? Or has it been suggested before, in which case berate me for my lack of searching... :) It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none.

Sorry for the confusion, just to clarify this:
Let's say you have 4 duplicate records for file1 in the TrackStat
database.
And that you remove all duplicates for file1 in the backup, so you only
have one entry for file1 in the backup file.
Now, if you restore the backup file one of the 4 duplicate records in
the database will be updated during the restore process but there will
still be 4 records in the database. The only way to remove information
from the TrackStat database is to use the Remove all data or Delete
unused statistic buttons in the TrackStat settings page section
Backup/Restore/Clear. This behavior is intentional to minimize risk
that a user accidentally do something that delete TrackStat data.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat: Unrated tracks appear as rated with 1 star
Yes, I can follow those instructions, but I'm still not sure whether this is getting to the source of the problem. The thing is that my duplicate MB tags are not due to the same song existing on different records. Maybe I got some of those, but the vast majority of what is blowing up my trackstat database are duplicate records of the exact same same file. The one with the most duplicates actually had 652 dupes, and there were many more with hundreds of duplicates. I have discovered a convenient feature in Excel that actually allows you to remove duplicates with just a few clicks. I did that and it removed 45000 duplicates (and I defined a duplicate as having the exact same data in each and every column of the table). After that cleanup, I still have 2 records left,, while I have around 9000 tracks on my server. The largrest number of duplicate MB tags for any one track is now 7. The reason why there are still duplicate MB tags left is that those records differ in some other aspect, such as date added, last played, playcount or rating. But not (except some very few exceptions) the URL (i.e. the file). I can see that by having excel highlight all duplicate values within a specific column. As far as I can see, this means two things: one is that my (main) problem is not the one described at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin#Issues_with_duplicate_musicbrainz_tags And second, I will loose quite a lot of data if I let trackstat do the cleaning up by following by following the instructions at http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin#Restore_statistics_after_upgrade.2Freinstall because (I suppose) trackstat cannot reconcile the different playcounts, last played dates or ratings that its database contains for identical files (not just identical MB tags, which will be gone by then). As regards the first point, I would like to understand what the root of the problem is. Unfortunately, I have not the slightest clue. As regards the second point, I can at least make a suggestion for an alternative way of getting rid of the duplicates: I guess I need to find a way to merge (rather than delete) the remaining duplicates in my backup file, i.e. to tell Excel that it should keep the latest played date, the highest rating, and add up all the playcounts, or something like that. Or can Trackstat do that? P.S. One quick comment on the 'Issues with duplicate musicbrainz tags' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin#Issues_with_duplicate_musicbrainz_tags): why is this an issue anyway? As far as I understood things, the Musicbrainz policy is that duplicate IDs will only be given to identical -recordings-. Which makes sense, because it simply is a duplicate and I thought the whole point of enabling Musicbraniz tags in Trackstat was that it will make Trackstat recognize these duplicates as such and treat the same song as the same, even when it exists in two files, e.g. one on the original album, and another one in some compilation so that if I rate the track on the original album, the same rating will be applied to the same song in the compilation.

It's probably easiest if you shutdown LMS and send me a zip with the
library.db and persist.db files from your setup, you will find them in
the LMS cache directory. This way it's possible for me to look at your
database and see if I can see what's going on.
Alternatively, you could install the free Database Query plugin and
run its TrackStat inconsistency/problems report and post the result.
I'm just a bit afraid that it can cause more problems, because it can
take a while to run and I know some user managed to corrupt their whole
LMS database by aborting it in the middle of the run. If you try it,
please make sure you have shutdown LMS and taken a copy of the
library.db and persist.db files before, so you can restore them if
something goes wrong.

Also, please note that the TrackStat backup entries contains two type of
elements:
- track : Which represent the current play count, added time, rating
- historyentry : Which represent all previous times when a track has
changed rating or been played
The track entry should have a single occurrence for each track.
The historyentry should have an occurrence for each time a track has
been played and it's normal that a track have multiple historyentry
elements but they should have different values in their played or
rating sub elements.
It's possible to disable the history logging which cause the
historyentry elements if you like, this is done through the History
option in TrackStat setting page. Disabling it won't delete the history,
but you can clear all TrackStat data and restore the backup and then the
restore process should only restore the track elements and not the
historyentry elements from the backup file.

this a feature, not a bug, as they say.
It's a feature on musicbrainz side and it's the right way for them to
handle it.
The problem for TrackStat is that it assumed that it would identify a
track uniquely (which it did a couple of years ago), but TrackStat can't
presume musicbrainz tags exists since only some users have musicbrainz
tags, so TrackStat database is based on the file path and it just use
musicbrainz tags (if they exist). Due to this TrackStat will have two
entries if you have two tracks in your library that represents the same
recording. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but due to how TrackStat
refresh operation is implemented the tracks with same musicbrainz id
will be duplicated each time the TrackStat refresh operation runs. It
would be possible to fix this but it would significantly increase the
scanning time so I've avoided it so far.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat: Unrated tracks appear as rated with 1 star
OK, I need to qualify this and perhaps change my question. I said that I have no more unrated songs because when I selected Trackstat - Not rated - Not rated songs in the webinterface, I got an ampty list (after almost a minute of waiting). It turns out that that list is not empty but the connection to the server timed out or sumething. I noticed that there are unrated songs since they show Unrated in their context menu. So I ran the Trackstat - Not rated - Not rated song thing again, this time on my SB Touch which had the advantage that it actually told me that it lost connection to the server and allowed me to reconnect. After several tries it did reconnect and showed me a list of unrated songs. However, that list is rather strange, since 90 percent of the first 200 entries are the same song. In addition all of the songs have a playcount of 2 or more, which doesnt make sense since I have Trackstat Autorating turned on ever since I use it so that there should not be any unrated song with a playcount greater than 0.

I have managed to open the latest trackstat backup file in excel (just drag it into excel!). It takes a couple of minutes until Excel displays the 20 MB xml file as a table, but it does. And what I see is that although I have about 9000 songs in my library, the trackstat database has more than 65000 entries. Many songs have multiple entries (I saw one that is represented 250 times!) with the exact same data. From what I can see when I look at the file size of the nightly trackstat backups, this magic increase of songs happens incrementally every day as the file size increases between 50 and 300 kb every day, even on days when I was on vacation and not a single song had been played, added or deleted. So let me modify my question once again: if I ever manage to clear up that mess manually in Excel, will trackstat be able to re-import the resulting xml file? And, of course: how can the duplication of tracks in trackstat be avoided in the future? *Server*: LMS 7.7.3 on a ReadyNAS Ultra 2 *Players*: Radio, Touch, Duet (Receiver Controller), Boom, Squeezeplayer on iPad 2 *Remote control apps*: iPeng (iOS), SqueezePad (iOS), Squeezecontroller (Android) *Important plugins*: Trackstat, Spicefly Sugarcube, Lazy Search Music, Switch Player, SmartMix, Custom Browse chaug's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=47641 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102245 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat: Unrated tracks appear as rated with 1 star
Do you know if you have musicbrainz tags on your music files ?
MusicBrainz change philosophy a couple of years ago so the same song on
multiple albums got the same identity and this can cause duplication of
entries in the TrackStat database tables. There is an Enable
musicbrainz tags option in TrackStat that can be used to disable the
musicbrainz related logic if this is what's causing the problem.
To get rid of the duplicates, I think it should be enough to use the
Remove all data option in TrackStat settings page in the
Backup/Restore/Clear section and after that restore the TrackStat
backup. The restore process happens in the background and can take some
time but it should only import one of the duplicate entries. If you want
to be sure you can get back to the current situation it might be a good
idea to shutdown LMS and take a backup of the library.db and persist.db
file in the LMS Cache directory before you clear and restore the
TrackStat data.

If you have musicbrainz tags and is affected by the new behaviour of
musicbrainz tags, you need to disable the Enable musicbrainz tags
option in TrackStat settings page.
After this, you should be able to:
1. Shutdown LMS and take a backup of the persist.db and library.db files
in the LMS Cache directory (just as an extra precaution in case
something goes wrong)
2. Start LMS
3. Goto TrackStat settings page to the Backup/Restore/Clear section
and click Remove all data
4. Specify the full path to the backup file (the one with all the
duplicates) in the Backup file field
5. Click Restore from file
6. Wait, this can take a few hours in a long library. After the restore
operation is finished you will get a log entry in the LMS server.log
saying that restore operation is finished.
The whole process is described on TrackStat documentation page:
- Clearing data:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin#Issues_with_duplicate_musicbrainz_tags
- Restoring backup:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin#Restore_statistics_after_upgrade.2Freinstall
Finally, just to be clear, you don't need to remove any duplicates from
the backup file, the restore process should make sure it only restores
one of the duplicate entries.
It's important that you disable the Enable musicbrainz tags option,
else you are very likely going to get new duplicates again every day.

Have you changed the folder structure ?
It looks like you run the restore with Find alternative files option
enabled and then it's supposed to find the files during the restore
process as long as it's only the beginning of the path that has changed,
but from the log it looks like it doesn't find the files. Could it be
that the files it complains about are old files which no longer exist or
where the last part of the path has changed ?
Did you following the backup/restore procedure exactly ?
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin#Upgrade.2FReinstall
It's important that you let the normal rescan finish before you start a
TrackStat restore operation and it's important to remember that the
TrackStat restore happens in the background.
However, from what I understood it was the backup that didn't work ? If
that's the case it sounds like this is something else than the above
error messages. Can you try to perform a backup and then look in the
server.log immediately afterwards and see if you get any new log entries
from TrackStat during the backup.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat Not Showing Rating For Newly Added Albums
Hi erland Well, that seems to have fixed the issue. It was MusicIP after all. Changing the MusicIP setting to Only read mixable status from MusicIP and carrying out the process you mentioned has put everything right again. I've added a couple of albums and done rescans and Trackstat statistics are all working as expected and surviving the LMS restart. Also, the database is no longer showing the issues. I have no idea why things were working before, I can't think anything changed. At least now though everything is working as it should (and scans are quicker due to that MusicIP setting change).

don't want to spend anymore time on it since we have found as

I add tracks the normal way, however I do use the SugarCube plugin

with MusicIP first before adding to LMS.
How is MusicIP plugin configured in LMS Settings ?
Is it set to Only read mixable status from MusicIP or Import all song
data from MusicIP ?
If it's set to Import all song data from MusicIP, could you try to
change it to Only read mixable status from MusicIP as described below
and see if that makes a difference ?
To verify that it makes a difference I suggest that you:
1.
Before the change, in Database Query plugin, create a new data query of
type Free form query with the SQL statement:
Code:
select url,urlmd5 from tracks where urlmd5!=md5(url) and audio=1
When you run this query you should get a couple of matches.
2.
Change the MusicIP setting to Only read mixable status from MusicIP
and perform a full rescan in LMS
3.
After the change, in Database Query plugin, run the query you created in
step 1 and verify that it doesn't return any rows.
If point 1 returns result and point 3 doesn't, it means that this was
the problem.
In this case, you now need to go through the TrackStat clear + restore
procedure I described earlier in the thread to cleanup the TrackStat
data:
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/TrackStat_plugin#Upgrade.2FReinstall
If the above didn't help, I would also suggest that you temporarily
uninstall the SugarCube plugin and repeat the full rescan and run the
above query in Database query plugin afterwards to verify if it made any
difference. I suspect SugarCube doesn't write to the database and isn't
the cause, but it's hard to say for sure since the SugarCube source code
is encrypted.
This should all make it possible for us to rule out MusicIP and
SugarCube plugin so we know if they are the cause or not.

I did try over the weekend to backup, clear and restore the trackstat

Something is strange with your LMS installation, when it calculates the
MD5 checksum for the url in the tracks table it seems to set it it
incorrectly in tracks table. It's not even consistent with the standard
track_persistent table so something really strange is going on. The fact
that tracks and track_persistent tables aren't in sync is very
likely going to cause the strange kind of issues you are seeing. I also
doubt the problems are related to TrackStat plugin, it feels more like a
general problem with the LMS setup when the LMS standard database tables
aren't in sync. It kind of feels like something is overwriting the
tracks.urlmd5 column with an incorrect value at some time.
Can you (or anyone else seeing this) think of anything in your setup
that could cause issues like this ?
Do you add the albums by doing a standard LMS rescan or do you add them
some other way ?
Are you running on some unusual hardware/os that might have interpret
characters different than anything else out there ?
Do you have some other software involved that might write information to
the tracks table of LMS ?
Did you upgrade anything (plugin, LMS, something else) when the problem
started to occur ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat Not Showing Rating For Newly Added Albums
Thanks erland Do you add the albums by doing a standard LMS rescan or do you add them some other way ? I add tracks the normal way, however I do use the SugarCube plugin which links in with MusicIP. Before adding tracks, I always scan them with MusicIP first before adding to LMS. Are you running on some unusual hardware/os that might have interpret characters different than anything else out there ? Standard Windows 7 x64 laptop, nothing unusual about it. Do you have some other software involved that might write information to the tracks table of LMS ? Maybe MusicIP does, no idea? Did you upgrade anything (plugin, LMS, something else) when the problem started to occur ? Don't think so, unless something updated itself without me knowing. Over the weekend I played with things, and deleted all the problem entries in Trackstat's xml backup and restored this as well as doing a clear library and rescan in LMS. I managed to clear all the problems, however adding new music resulted in the same issues as before and I was back to square one. Like you say it's probably something else other than Trackstat causing this. I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to go from here. I'll play with things and see if I can get any success. I guess MusicIP is probably a good place to start. Maybe a full LMS reinstallation is in order? Any further suggestions are very welcome. softstag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62131 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100480 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Could you check how the musicbrainz related tags looks like for the
files ?
I think you can use the View Tags link in the song info page in LMS
web interface or you can use the tagging software of your choice.
Also, are you using FLAC cuesheets where a single FLAC file represent a
complete album or are you using individual files for each track ?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat Not Showing Rating For Newly Added Albums
The vast majority of my music isn't tagged with musicbrainz tags. These albums are the same. This is what a typical one has in it's tags: Code: ALBUM: Searching For Sugar Man - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack ALBUM ARTIST: Rodriguez ALBUMARTIST: Rodriguez ARTIST: Rodriguez DATE: 2012 GENRE: Soundtrack ORGANIZATION: 88725418502 / CD REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_GAIN: -9.78 dB REPLAYGAIN_ALBUM_PEAK: 0.976470947 REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN: -9.87 dB REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_PEAK: 0.969879150 TITLE: Sugar Man TOTALDISCS: 1 TOTALTRACKS: 14 TRACKNUMBER: 1 VENDOR: reference libFLAC 1.2.1 20070917 I checked in other programs and all tags are showing here. All my FLAC files are single tracks, not a single track per album. Some of these albums are in mp3 format, not all are FLAC. Looking at the Database query info, all the issues are surrounding these same albums. It is duplicating the trackstat info in the database, presumably every time it rescans. Is there a way to rebuild the database and retain the ratings? softstag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62131 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100480 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Would it be possible for you to shutdown LMS and send me a copy of
library.db and persist.db files so I can take a look at them ?
They are located in LMS Cache folder and it's important that you
shutdown LMS before copying them.
Make sure to zip them else they are going to be gigantic.
Before you try to restore the database, make sure to take a backup of
library.db and persist.db so you can go back if something goes wrong.
To restore the database and keep ratings, you should be able to follow
the upgrade instruction on TrackStat documentation page, basically you
first backup then clear TrackStat data and then restore the backup
file:

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat Not Showing Rating For Newly Added Albums
Can you look in the server.log if there any errors either directly after
you change rating of a newly added album or after LMS has been restarted
?
You can post it or mail it to me if you don't know what to look for.
Just to make sure, you aren't changing the rating while LMS is still
scanning, are you ?
I'm asking because TrackStat can't change ratings while LMS is
rescanning, so it will queue up these requests and write them to the
database after scanning is finished. You can see if LMS is scanning by
looking in Media Scan Details section in LMS Settings/Information
Another thing that could be good information when troubleshooting is to
install the Database Query plugin and run it's Squeezebox Server
Inconsistency/Problems and TrackStat Inconsistency/Problems, just be
aware that these reports can take quite a bit of time to generate in a
large library or on slow hardware, so if you have a large library or is
running LMS on slow hardware (NAS or similar) it's probably not a good
idea to do this before we have taken a closer look at the server.log.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Trackstat Not Showing Rating For Newly Added Albums
Hi I've been using Trackstat for over a year to rate my music. Up until recently this has worked flawlessly and I've no issues. Recently I've noticed some strange behaviour. For albums I've added recently, the track rating does not survive a LMS reboot. Oddly, if I add or change a rating for a track on an album that has been there a while then it changes and is still there after a reboot. I created a backup of the Trackstat to see if I could see anything. Sure enough the data is being saved to the database - those tracks I rated have the appropriate rating in the database, but in LMS they are showing as unrated. An example from the database is as follows: Code: track urlfile%3A%2F%2F%2FC%3A%2FMusic%2FMano%2520McLaughlin%2F2013%2520-%2520Peach%2520Got%2520Bones%2520%5BFLAC%5D%2F07%2520Colour%2520Me%2520In.flac/url added1385661830/added rating80/rating /track I also noticed that the playCount and lastPlayed fields are not showing for these tracks, even though I know I have played them several times. I can't see that I have done anything to cause this issue to happen, and I can't see why it is doing what it is doing. Any help would be appreciated on this. For information I'm using: Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.3 - 1375965195 @ Mon Aug 12 11:14:33 CUT 2013 TrackStat v3.1.3869 softstag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62131 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=100480 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

If you are a developer, you would probably be able to create a query
through Database Query plugin that produces XML which you then can
transform into HTML.
Except for this, I'm not sure there is anything that's just ready to use
at the moment.
How do you want to use the statistics ?
Is it for deeper analysis, publishing it online or do you want to use it
while browsing/searching for something to listen to ?

Doesn't the My Music/TrackStat menu show you what you want ? There are
menus for most played songs, most played albums and similar.
Or do you mean that you want to be able to show ALL statistics in some
kind of html/pdf report or similar ?

I looked through the thread on that process and sadly i'm still a bit
lost. Do I need to make a custom tag and map the trackstat info to that
tag or will the trackstat playlist plugin actually write ratings to the
files itself?
I haven't done this myself, so it's probably a good idea to ask in a
separate thread since the people with the right knowledge might not read
this thread.
However, from what I've understood, the basic idea is to generate a
playlist in LMS which contains all tracks with a certain rating, then in
JRiver Media Center I think it's possible to select all tracks in the
playlist and set the rating to them and JRiver Media Center will write
the ratings to the file. I'm not sure if Google Music will read the
ratings from tags, so before you spend too much time on this you should
probably try if the Google Music uploader is able to do this.
It's possible to generate playlist with all songs of a certain rating
using my free Playlist Generator or TrackStat Playlist plugins, my
recommendation is to use Playlist Generator since TrackStat Playlist
is known to cause some performance issues if you have it active during
normal music listening.
It might be possible to do something similar by opening the playlist in
Windows Media Player, iTunes or some other software which is able to
write ratings to the tag in the files.
