OK, so I have copied the iTunesUpdate.pl file from the LMS cache folder
onto my laptop into the iTunes folder, and copied the iTunes_Hist.txt
file from the playlists folder there as well.

The TrackStatiTunesUpdate.pl in mine is really old, last modified

If I want to just use iTunesUpdate where do I find the equivalent file
for that and what is it called?
Also, how do I use perl? Do I just create a text file to run PERL with

Ah, ok. How I'd like to set it up is like this;
iTunes is on my laptop, with all the audio files on (in a folder on teh
F partition) but the iTunes database files directed by symbolic link to
a network folder on my WHS 2011. I want to keep this as I have an ipod
and iphone, plus my Android phone
If you don't have iTunes installed on the same computer as LMS is
running, iTunes Update and TrackStat will work the same way. Both will
generate a text file with changed ratings and play counts and you need
to manually run a perl script on the computer using iTunes to actually
write the ratings

standard script, where can I get it, and do I need to install anything
for perl?!

Now then, I'm having a go at getting this set up, but I'm stuck.
I've done the Web interface part and the Browse menus on
SqueezeBox/Transporter part of
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Setup_support_for_ratings - they
look to be the same thing. Are they two different options?
Now Playing
Are you using a Touch/Radio/Controller or a Boom/Classic/Transporter ?
I'm afraid the browse menu setup doesn't work anymore due to the
following bug in the Logitech code:

The setup in the wiki
Ah, ok I'm not going mad then! lol
The main thing for me is playcounts going back to iTunes, as that's
what updates the iTunes smartplaylists. Is that still working?
Oh yes, and it's a Touch I have. Very nice indeed just won't be
able to convince my girlfriend of how good it is until I

Yes, both play counts and also ratings
Hi all
I have Logitech Media Server installed on my Windows Home Server 2011.
I had initially installed iTunes on there with a copy of my iTunes
files and DB from my laptop, but decided it was easier to just keep a
copy of the files on there and use a syncing application to update the
new music

That's great, thanks Erland! I've got a busy couple of days so if I
don't get to have a go before tomorrow I'll PM you if that's ok! :)
