Announce: New versions of erlands plugins

[erland]

To be hones, I havent tried, and right now, Im on 7.5.5.

If you by fresh meen with deletion of all settings, so no.

I do uninstall 7.5.5, and then install 7.6, but i don't delete the settings during uninstall.
I can try to install 7,6 remotely from work, be back in a while.

Thanx a lot for your effort so far!

No, I wasn't referring to the settings, I was just referring to if you had restored a TrackStat backup or not after the upgrade to 7.6.

no, I havent.

Try restarting SBS if you haven't already done so.

Then also take a look at the plugin\trackstat.prefs files in the "Preference Folder", you will find the location of the preference folder in SBS Settings/Information.

Look for a line like this and report back which number it specifies:
playlist_length: 50

I found two playlist_length, one with 50 and one with 1266594679.

Ok, that's ok, then the problem is something else.

Wow, now, after installing 7.6.1, and the scan has finished, the playlists are nowhere to be found at all!
Whats going on?

Restarting now.

[lazpete]

Ok, Erland.

Found them.
For some reason, the playlists had moved to a "favourites" folder in the dynamic playlist menu of the SBS.
And suddenly, they seem to work, streaming one as we speak to work through Squeezplay.

I still havent tried the SB3, Boom and Radio at home, but at least songs are added to list when i start the lists from work on the different players.

Thx again for such gr8 plugs!

Custom browse - Decade?

Hi, it's me again

I read in the wiki, that one neat feature delivered with the plug, is browse by decade.
i cannot find that option in the Custom browse menu.
Is there something that has to be done?
Using 7.6.1 now.

It's not marked as 7.6 compatibile yet, I have to investigate why I marked it to only work towards the 7.5 MySQL database, thanks for reminding me.
I will release a new Custom Browse version which fixes it later this week unless I find some unexpected issues.

Hi erland,

a really small discrepancy I have just noted. Looking at database query I see that in trackstat statistics I see:

Number of unplayed songs 0
Number of unplayed albums 0
Number of unplayed artists 0

but in SBS statistics I see:

Number of unplayed songs 10
Number of unplayed albums 3
Number of unplayed artists 3

I made a SQL Playlist to only play unplayed songs and it said 'no songs' so I think SBS statistics is wrong.

One other thing, what is the difference between TrackStat stats and SBS stats??

Hi Erland
I don't know if this is an iPeng issue or an issue of the plugin.
But I am not able to set the rating for a song inside iPeng, nothing happens when selecting the desired rating.
It works fine both within the web-interface and using Moose

Maybe this is something for the iPeng support thread....

Running SBS 7.6.1 r33002 on W7 Ultimate 32bit

EDIT: It seems to work fine from the "Now Playing" screen in iPeng were you see the 5 stars
But when trying to change rating from the playlist screen (by pressing down on the selected track) nothing happens

It seems more as an iPeng issue, I´ll post it there as well.

Another question, Is it possible to rate a whole genre without changing the rating on the album/tracks within?

The decades menu should now be available in the Custom Browse version I just released.

Ok, sounds like an iPeng issue, let me know if pippin is of another opinion and I'll take a closer look at it.

No, TrackStat currently only support ratings on track level. It's possible to rate albums but that operation will just set the ratings of all tracks in the album to the same rating.

Hi Erland,

I think you might have overlooked this post, any chance of an answer? Thanks!

pippin couldn't reproduce the problem but someone had reported it before

Somebody else had the same issue in the German part of the forum. He tried it with an older iPeng release and it still doesn't work so it's probably the plugin.

Ok,thanks for your answer.
