if you write a tag editor it'd be easy for me to adjust my plugin to make use of it... but can rr read the tag information and load songs according to the rating inside the tag is the question.

Good question, that is something we have to ask guino

Any luck sonix? One thing that MAY save you a little bit oof coding, is RR now has the ability internally to append a line to a file.

ADDTOFILE;$PLAYLISTPATH$5Star.M3U;=$CURRENTTRACK$"

You would still have to look and see if the song is in that list already, but it would make adding a line to a playlist very easy, instead of having to read the file in, add the line, and then save the file back out again.

I am anxious to get this working in my skin, as it is a fantastic plugin! I have it all skinned and ready to go, just waiting on the bug fixes ect.

I've been working with enforcer on some fixes. He donated some of his time and code and i'll have the results of that out tomorrow hopefully.

Still trying to track down that other little bug as well.

Sonicxtacy02 · 01-16-2007, 01:22 PM

ok friends another version released. There are MANY changes that should make for a faster more streamlined (and easier to setup) experience. Please DELETE the previous ratings folder and any changes made to exectbl.ini. U will also have to copy the new .skin files over ur existing ones. Check post 1 for more details and by all means any bugs please report them.

Thanks, it's working just fine now!!

Edit: i just noticed that the path of the song in the .m3u is wrong

it writes D: D:\MP3\... where it should be D:\MP3\...

im pretty sure that i followed all the directions. the buttons are all working / writing to the playlists correctly. very good progress. its very close (at least for me). the only problem i am having is that my indicators wont stay on. they turn on rightwhen i rate a song, but then turn off immediately. any suggestions?

Actually it's doing that in all playlists, otherwise it seems to be working for me now.

What I would like to see though is:

When rating a previously rated song it puts it's old rating up before you re-rate it.

There's something odd in RR that makes some labels show the drive letter and some dont. Easy fix though that will be done first thing tomorrow

are you mousing over your indicators? Unfortunately thats the way rr turns them off. Only way around this is to create a flash skin (which i have around here somewhere if you want it)

drive letter issue will be fixed tomorrow. And what you requested should happen if a song is rated. Thats the sole purpose of ratecheck.exe. Thats one thing i forgot to test today but i will tomorrow.

Funny, I don't have this issue

The indicators for the previously rated song are lit when the pop up comes, then disappear, but the current songs rating does not appear.

So sonic, how did you like working with the RR COM interface? Make things a little easier?

It might be about time I give this thing another go, now thats its a more mature plugin...

the inferface rocks

. And i had no idea it was as easy as it is. Definitely saves time and resources. Sadly i have put your getpaths() function to rest.
