iTunes update plugin 0.6 and iTunes 4.7.1.30 notplayingnice..

[Craig, James (IT)]

Thanks Richard.
I've not seen this one myself.
What would the date have been that failed?

The reason I translated the month into a string was because I wasn't
sure what would happen with US vs UK date formats...
It's all a bit of a guess!

What localisation does your machine have set?

Got this on a sample update..

==logTrackToiTunesWin()
********
Found track in iTunes
Marking as played in iTunes
Win32::OLE(0.1702) error 0x80020005: "Type mismatch"
in PROPERTYPUT "playedDate"

The playcount was updated, but the playedDate ran into this.

I changed your perl script like:

#%%$status = $trackHandle->{playedDate} = "$hr:$min:$sec
$day-$monthHash{$month}-$year";
$status = $trackHandle->{playedDate} = "$day-$month-$year $hr:$min:$sec
";

And all was good. Thanks for the commented output lines.. they helped.
