Problems restoring TrackStat statistics

[Silver]

I have just updated slimserver to version 6.5.2 - 12069 and TrackStat to 1.38.

My music is stored as flac images with external cue sheets.

When I restore statistics in TrackStat the last track in the albums are not restored!

I have looked into the slimserver database as well as the TrackStat backup file and found that urls differs :-(

The end point given for the last tracks differs meaning that the urls are different so no statistics restored.

Example Urls:
Database: file:///D:/Sound/MusicFlac/Norah%20Jones/Feels%20Like%20Home/Norah%20Jones%20-%20Feels%20Like%20Home.flac#2597.09333333333-2784.01333333333

Backup file: file%3A%2F%2F%2FD%3A%2FSound%2FMusicFlac%2FNorah%2 520Jones%2FFeels%2520Like%2520Home%2FNorah%2520Jon es%2520-%2520Feels%2520Like%2520Home.flac%232597.093333333 33-2784.02557823129

Except for the xml emcoding the only difference is the endpoint.

Has anybody else experienced this? Do you have any suggestions/fixes?

I haven't seen these kind of urls with the end point stuff before, I guess it has something to do with the cue sheet usage.

What does the end point stuff after ".flac" represent and when will it change ?
Will you get different endpoints every time you rescan ?

The only fast solution I can see is to edit the TrackStat backup file so it has the same endpoint values, but I realize that it might be a bit of work if you have a lot of albums.

The xml encoding stuff should differ between the xml file and the real url, so that is not a problem.

First of al thanks for you quick answer erland, as well as your fantastic work with slimserver plugins. I love them and has used them for a long time, until now without problems.

I haven't seen these kind of urls with the end point stuff before, I guess it has something to do with the cue sheet usage.

What does the end point stuff after ".flac" represent and when will it change ?

With flac images a CD is stored as 1 big file/song. The points after flac describes where the individual tracks start and end (....flac#trackStart-trackEnd

Will you get different endpoints every time you rescan ?

No they should never change. I have not seen them change until the last update of slimserver and plugins and no they do not change on rescan. After thinking about it I guess it must have more to do with the slimserver scanner process than the TrackStat plugin.

The only fast solution I can see is to edit the TrackStat backup file so it has the same endpoint values, but I realize that it might be a bit of work if you have a lot of albums.

Well fast and fast manually updating 600-700 CD's is going to take a looong time. I might be able to write a program that patches up the xml file.

I will first of all try to determine if the problem is related to the specific version of slimserver.

Just a short follow-up. It turned out to be a problem with slimserver not trackstat. Slimserver detects the last end point of flac images different from previous versions.

I had been thinking of splitting my images to single tracks anyway so that ended up being what I did.

Now my collection is split in tracks and tagged using musicbrainz for unique ids. Hopefully the future will prove this easier to manage.
