[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: iTunes Update - Ratings not updated
This is for those of you who might have used the v1.4.0 or v1.4.1 version of the iTunes Update plugin which accidently set ratings on a scale of 1-10 rather than 1-100. I've moved to the current 6.5 SVN trunk with a MySQL back-end and this has allowed me to easily see that I have still have some tracks with low ratings (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 rather than 20, 40, 60, 80, 100). I'm guessing this is hangover from this iTune Update issue. The good news is that it's easy to fix your library... This SQL snippet: select concat(CONVERT(t.title USING latin1),|, convert(c.name using latin1),|, convert(a.title using latin1),|, replace(replace(replace (t.url,'file:///',''),'%20',' '),'/','\\'), |rated|20060630223000|, t.rating*20) as iTunes_Hist_entry, t.rating as incorrect_rating from tracks t left outer join contributor_track ct on t.id = ct.track left outer join contributors c on ct.contributor = c.id left outer join albums a on t.album = a.id where rating 10 and ct.role = 1 order by t.rating; Will generate a list of entries that you can just paste into your iTunes_Hist.txt file and then run the iTunesUpdateWin.pl script to fix your iTunes library. The script is pretty quick and dirty so you might need to scan the output for weirdness like encoded characters (eg %20) which need 'fixing' before the import will work. I'd like to express my thanks to James for this great plugin - it's so useful to have my ratings in sync across both systems. -- barcar barcar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16896 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
RE: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: iTunes Update - Ratings not updated
Ah you're right! I forget you can set ratings in iTunes to any number between 1-100, although only multiples of 10 generate a corresponding (half) star.

Hi Michael, New beta works great with the old Slimserver versions. But it looks the latest 6.5.x versions has changes in database requests. Bevore I will make a bug report, I want to sure if you or anybody else can agree thats a possible problem in slimserver self. I'm using the version from 07/05/06. Problem: If you start slimremote Album and Artist will be reportet as follows: Album: Slim::Schema::Album=HASH(0x4a9bbd0) (1991) Artist: Slim::Schema::Contributor=HASH(0x4c718f0) Mayby thats a problem or feature of new MYSQL version.

Curious to know, why would AVG cause problems. I've been running it for years and had AlienBBC for the past 4 months with no problems. Is this something with 6.3, i'm still on 6.2 so it would be useleful to know if I'll have a problem when I upgrade.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] iTunes Update Half Star contribution
The attached patched (hacked) edition of iTunes Update v.1.7.1 (I've called it v1.7.1a) allows for the setting of half stars via the SB remote. By default the behaviour is the same as the vanilla v1.7.1 plugin where you hold down the buttons 0 though 5 whilst on the Now Playing screen to set a rating of 0 to 5 stars. But, if you go into Server Settings | Plugins and switch on Allow Half Stars (you will need to restart SlimServer afterwards) then the behaviour changes... You now hold down buttons 0 though 9 ADD (+) to set a rating from 0 to 5 stars in half star increments. So button 1 = half a star, button 2 = one star, button 3 = one and a half stars etc. The ADD button corresponds to five stars (I chose this button relatively arbitrarily). iTunes can currently display the half star values but some other parts of the interface are still catching up - for example you cannot use half stars in iTunes Smart Playlists. Hopefully Apple will change this eventually. To install the patched version you should get the vanilla v1.7.1 plugin working and then simply replace the plugin.pm file in your server\plugins\itunesupdate folder with the attached file. This has been minimally tested. I am not a Perl expert and I have some big questions about what I've done in some parts of the code. I would be glad to see this code merged back into James' plugin f he thinks it is worthy.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: AlienBBC v1.05
The version for OS X turns out to be Mplayer.app, rather than mplayer. That is, it is mplayer with a graphical front end, installed as an application that contains deep inside it, the Unix executable. So this is definitely not what we want unskilled users to install. When I have more time I will extract the Unix mplayer and see how well it works. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25170 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: AlienBBC v1.05
As I remarked earlier, the actual mplayer file is deeply hidden inside MPlayer OSX. Control-click to Show Package Contents. Go to Contents Resources External_Binaries, and you will see an item called mplayer. This still isn't what we want. Control-click again and once more Show Package Contents. Contents contains a folder called MacOS, which in turn contains two Unix files, mplayer and mplayer_noaltivec. A couple of minutes check with mplayer shows that it works for AlienBBC on my PowerBook G4 (unless problems arise with a longer check). Older machines don't have altivec (not sure if Intel ones do), so presumably would need to use mplayer_noaltivec, but would need to rename it to mplayer to get it to work with AlienBBC. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25170 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Plugin request -- Sleep
I am not a programmer, but this should be an easy one to do for someone who is. First, the problem. When I set my Slimserver in sleep mode to lull me off to sleep at night, I set it to a very low , almost inaudible, volume. But inevitably, as things quiet down and my ears become more sensitive, I have to get up out of bed to turn the volume down yet again (via the computer, my stereo is in my living room). The next morning, forgetting that I had turned down the volume via the computer, I end up turning the volume on my stereo way up to get a reasonable volume. Proposed solution: some sort of smart sleep. I'd like to be able to give a start volume and an end volume. The sleep should then ramp the volume down by some fraction, either by stepping down after each song or just linearly with time. For instance, if I start at 100%, and tell it to end at 40%, and I set sleep to 60 minutes, the volume should ramp down by 1% per minute. Alternitively, if there are 10 songs in the playlist, it should drop by 5% after each song (whichever is easier to manage). If one wanted to get fancy, other ramps (quadratic, exponential, etc.) could be included. As a bonus, after the music shuts off, the volume should be restored to the original level so I don't have to remember to do it the next morning in my groggy pre-coffee state.
