Quick question, currently happily using MC26, but curious if Ratings are handled differently in MC30.
Situation:
1. I maintain track Ratings (MP3 & FLAC) in MC26.
2. Using a Python script I am playing with, I can see the MC ratings values (via file_rating = audio["rating"][0])
3. However, if I externally modify the ratings value w Python, Python sees the NEW values, but MC26 retains the OLD values
4. ...Even after selecting: Tools> Library Tools> Update Library From Tags (completes without error for the selected tracks, but no change)
5. Is this an MC thing, ID3 thing or a Win file manager thing?
6. My ultimate goal is to sync user ratings between MC and my Plex library. The Plex ratings read/write functions are working well.
7. Any pointers/suggestions to handle ID3/Rating/POPM for MC26 (or MC30)
I handle rating stars vs raw MP3 and FLAC rating values as:
FLAC_MAP = {
'20': 1,
'40': 2,
'60': 3,
'80': 4,
'100': 5,
}
ID3_MAP = {
1:1,
64:2,
128:3,
196:4,
255:5,
}
Thx!
