Title: changing play stats using com

hi,
is it possible to overwrite play stats ("Last Played" and "Number Plays") fields using COM Media Center Automation?

thanks

* bump *

to be more clear (I hope):
once I get the MJFieldAutomation objects (http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/MJFieldsAutomation#IMJFieldAutomation_.2A_GetField.28number_nField.29) corresponding to the "Last Played" and "Number Plays" fields, is it possible to write them?? (i.e. not just reading them)

thanks

I'm not sure, but try the MJFileAutomation function to set a field:

THANKS!!!

This works using Mr ChriZ Scripting Plugin!!!
 

Code: [Select]

For y = 0 To MJFiles.GetNumberFiles() - 1
       Dim MJFile as MediaCenter.IMJFileAutomation
       MJFile = MJFiles.GetFile(y)
       CurrentNumberPlays = MJFile.Get("Number Plays", 0)
       NewNumberPlays = CurrentNumberPlays + NumberPlaysIncreaseValue
       If CurrentNumberPlays <> NewNumberPlays then MJFile.Set("Number Plays", NewNumberPlays)
Next y
Now I have to work on Last Played but with dates it's not as easy as with numbers...

THANKS AGAIN!

another question.

to get all files in a playlist, given the playlist name (PlayListName), i wrote something like this:

Code: [Select]

     For z = -2 To MJPlaylists.GetNumberPlaylists - 1
          MJPlaylist = MJPlaylists.GetPlaylist(z)
          If MJPlaylist.Name = PlayListName then
                   Dim MJFiles as MediaCenter.IMJFilesAutomation
                   PLFilesObject = MJPlaylist.GetFiles()
                   exit for
          end if
     Next z

it works, but looping trough all playlists and testing their name is very slow; is there another (smarter and faster) way to get a PlayList object given a playlist name?
