there is no %added% tag in file tags, only standalone database.. but i have my own %added_date% tag which i was used  for many years already and want to copy in ADDED_TIMESTAMP playcounter tag if file doesnt contain one. SO, i need some function to convert ADDED_TIMESTAMP in date format.


Can I have your %added_date% tag?  Or can you point me to a resource to make my own?

Hi!

Before upgrading to foobar 1.0 plus the latest version of the Playback Statistics component, I have one question: Is there a way to keep my old playback statistics? These are important to me.

I am currently using:
Foobar 0.9.5.6
Playback Statistics 2.1.3

Could someone kindly explain the procedure I must take for the upgrade?

Thanks!

- Update your components, if necessary
- Install new foobar version over the existing one.

Then all settings will be kept.

On foobar's homepage you can find a description of that update procedure: http://www.foobar2000.org/FAQ#installing_and_upgrading
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

Thank you!
The upgrade of both foobar and the playback statistics component to the lastest versions worked without problems.

i've been having problems using this alongside quick tagger when setting ratings.

sometimes when i set a rating with quick tagger, then later try to change it, it won't work. somehow the new rating i enter is averaged with the existing rating, and i get a different number altogether.

the only way to fix things is to use playback statistics to clear the rating. then quick tagger works again.

any ideas what is happening here?

It's a problem with quicktagger storing rating in tags and playbackstatistics storing them in the database, so the two data interfere with each other (cause of remapping %rating%)

I let playback statistics write the data to the tag to solve the problem.

i had a read through your post, and i couldn't really follow it. it's been a long day.

basically i want my ratings stored in my file tags. i spent way too much time rating my music to trust it all to a single file.

moreover i prefer to write them with quick tagger. i like the dialog warning me if i'm about to rate too many songs.

is there a way to prevent playback statistics from taking over? if not, then i'll scrap it. it's nice to have, but i'm more concerned with ratings.

Isn't it only a display problem?
(I don't know, because i never used quicktagger...)

But if you only want to see tag rating in your playlist or wherever, use $meta(rating) instead of %rating% to display your tagged ratings.

the problem really isn't with quick tagger, it's with file tags having different ratings than what shows up in the database. sometimes the database gets stuck and won't listen to changes, and the displayed tag ends up showing an average of the two.

anyway like i said it doesn't happen very often - usually just when i rate a song prematurely then change my mind towards the end. but when this happens i just clear the database rating and set it again...

on a seperate topic - does anyone have a script that can turn the date/time output of playback statistics into natural language? it would be great if i could change "2010-01-14 20:58:42" into "last night"

you could use the standard foobar properties dialog. create a new tag, right click and select "Format from other fields".

Is there a way to calculate the total play count for files I have highlighted?

Playback Statistics component

Reply #317 –
Right click status bar and check "Show total time of selection".

Playback Statistics component

Reply #318 –
That shows the total time of selection, not the total playcount of selection.
For example, if I select song A (playcount: 2) and song B (playcount: 7), then when I select them both then I could see playcount: 9.

right click, properties, then properties tab.

Is  there a way to display the total play count in the status bar for example, instead of selecting Properties each time?

Playback Statistics component

Reply #321 –
i don't think so. the only component i know of that can count stuff like that is facets - and that's not really what you're after with regards to selected files.

Hi Peter, i just joined the forum to make a feature-request:
  • Could you please implement an option when a song is recognized as "played" like the foo_playback_custom plugin does?

Have a look at this foo_playback_custom screenshot to get an idea:

Songs are updated upon 60 secs of play - not the end.

Your request has been made multiple previous times in this thread and others.
