🔵 Use title formats with the rating star ★

Note

The Dark Flat Skin applet (piCorePlayer, SqueezePlay, SB Touch) already includes the required font files.

If you want to use the black star character ★ to display track ratings (LMS title formats) on players with a jivelite UI (Radio, piCorePlayer, Touch or SqueezePlay), you have to replace the default font on these devices with a font that includes the black star character (unless you already use the Dark Flat Skin).
Here's how to do it.

lms-ratingslight's Issues

[ISSUE] Previously rated but unplayed songs have their rating set to 100 after playing

DESCRIBE THE BUG

After migrating from TrackStat ratings to RatingsLight, there might be songs in the library that have a APC PlayCount of 0, but they have a Rating set.
If these tracks are played, the Rating is set to 100 after playing (overriding the previous rating).

Example:
Track has a APC PlayCount of 0 (the PlayCount can be 1)
Rating is 60
Play the track (or skip to > 50%), the track gets marked as played, APC PlayCount is set to 1, APC Last Played is set to the correct date.
The Rating is now 100.

TO REPRODUCE

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a Dynamic Playlist or Library View that only contains songs with a minimum rating of 0.5 stars, but only unplayed tracks
2. Play any song in that playlist/library.
3. Observe rating before and after playing.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The previous rating is preserved or adjusted accordingly (e.g. increased after playing).

VERSION INFO

• LMS version: 8.4.1
• OS (version): Synology DSM 7.2.1-69057 Update 3
• Plugin version: 2.6.3
• Web skin/controller: LMS Default
• Browser (version): Google Chrome Version 122.0.6261.70

Rating song doesn't apply to specific version of song

DESCRIBE THE BUG

When rating a song, it sometimes won't appear to rate the song in LMS Material Skin. However, another version of the song has been rated. Example:

"Everlong" by Foo Fighters on The Colour and the Shape is rated 5 stars. No rating appears. However, on the album Greatest Hits, "Everlong" is rated 5 stars.

TO REPRODUCE

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have a song that appears on two separate albums by same artist with same track title
2. Rate the song on one of the albums. If it successfully rates, try re-setting rating on the other version.
3. One of the two will not rate, and will rate for the other.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

The rating should apply to the album version of the track being rated.

VERSION INFO

• LMS version: v8.3.1
• OS (version): piCorePlayer v8.2.0
• Plugin version: v2.3.9
• Web skin/controller: Material, also Default
• Browser (version): Firefox 114.0.2, also Melodeon

[ISSUE] Some bad behaviours in the GUI [Qobuz]

Hello

I have noticed a few problems in the GUI
Can you look at them please ?
Thanks

Problem 1 :

1a. In Material Skin

I have rated two albums
when i go to "my music" "rated tracks" "5 stars artists" i see :

• various artist
• the two album artists
• all albums

but if i rate for example the album "Cat Power sings Dylan" from "Cat Power"
when i go to "my music" "rated tracks" "5 stars artists" i see :

• various artist
• the two album artists
• Bob Dylan

So i don't see "Cat Power" but "Bob Dylan" instead who is the composer
And the entry "Bob Dylan" is empty
And "All albums" has disappeared

1b. In default Skin

With the same 2 albums + "Cat Power sings Dylan"

when i go to "my music" "rated tracks" "5 stars artists" i see :

• various artist
• the two album artists
• Bob Dylan
• Cat Power
• All Albums

but "Bob Dylan" behaves like "All Albums"
"Cat Power" and "All albums" are empty

Problem 2 :

2a. In Material Skin

I have rated two albums
when i go to "my music" "rated tracks" "5 stars artists" i see :

• various artist
• the two album artists
• all albums

If i had another album, "All albums" disappears

2b. In default Skin

I have rated two albums
when i go to "my music" "rated tracks" "5 stars artists" i see :

• various artist
• the two album artists
• all albums

If i had another album, i see :

• various artist
• the 3 album artists
• all albums

but "all albums" is empty
and the third artist added behave like "all albums"

Problem 3 :

3a. In Material Skin

I have rated two albums
when i go to "my music" "rated tracks" "5 stars genres" i see the two genres listed :

• Alternatif et Indé
• Trip Hop

but "Alternatif et Indé" lists the two artists instead of one, and the artist who is showing but not "Alternatif et Indé" is empty
And i don't see "All albums"
