I'm having the same problem with my indicators

Ive tried both CUSTOM and ! in front, CUSTOM Does nothing, ! flashes the indicator quickly on then shuts off.

heres how they are atm

I,268,288,24,24,"!5starindicator"
I,235,288,24,24,"!4starindicator"
I,199,288,24,24,"!3starindicator"
I,165,288,24,24,"!2starindicator"
I,128,288,24,24,"!1starindicator"


And the plugin isnt writing any m3u files in my playlist directory, I pointed it to my directory in rating config
Playlistpath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\Playlist\

you havent read the readme.txt have you? The playlist path is determined by rr.ini. You MUST have playlistpath defined in rr.ini for it to work. The reason its not writing the m3u's is because u have playlistpath set in the ratingsconfig. As for the indicators, they do work like this

Code:

I,268,288,24,24,"CUSTOM5starindicator"
I,235,288,24,24,"CUSTOM4starindicator"
I,199,288,24,24,"CUSTOM3starindicator"
I,165,288,24,24,"CUSTOM2starindicator"
I,128,288,24,24,"CUSTOM1starindicator"

if they're flashing with the "!" in front i have no idea why. I having nothing in the code telling "!" to work because "!" doesnt work with flash skins. Download the latest version and just copy the skin file over if you want.

Guess what
Ive deleted the playlistpath in the ratings config, I already have a working playlist path in my rr.ini
That still doesnt work. I can save and load playlists normally.

as Ive said I have tried both CUSTOM#starindicator AND !#starindicator, Neither work. CUSTOM does nothing at all for me.

I'm not talking about problems in ratings.skin. I'm trying to get the indicators working on audio_player.skin

As of now I got it to create the 5 Stars.m3u and so on. But they arent being populated. they stay blank

what version of RR are you using. The only way it would create a playlist but not copy a song is if u were using an outdated version. Try this... download the debug versions of ratings.exe and ratecheck.exe. BACK UP ur existing ones and copy these to your ratings folder. Make sure both PLAYLISTPATH= AND RATED= are blank in ratingsconfig.ini. Then rate a song the way you normally would. Message boxes should appear telling you the FULL path to your selected song, and what you rated the song as when the programs run. If these message boxes are blank for some reason rr is not communicating with the plugin. Double check your rr.ini for PLAYLISTPATH= & MUSICPATH=

The indicators will only work if the full file path exists in a .m3u... so dont worry about the indicator issue until we figure out why ur not gettin anything written to your playlist files.

lthe last version
11/12/06

ill try debug now

completely forgot to mention that if you have the ratings folder anywhere other than in your rr path you need to change the exectbl.ini entries to the correct file path. Most people would know that but i thought i'd mention it

definitely a communication error

All boxes popped up black except for one (the one that tells me what star I picked)


i copied the exectbl.ini info in
and my menu button is
"MENU;ratings.skin||RunQW;C:\Program Files\Road Runner\Ratings\ratecheck.exe"

but it just doesnt like me

thats really odd. Maybe a bug in the COM with rr. I'll see what i can find out.

these are in rr.ini

musicpath=d:\music\
playlistpath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\Playlist\
