Hi together.
I wrote a perl script some time ago that synchronizes my local MP3 Library with meta information stored in a MySQL Database to my Empeg using emptool.
This script also saves some tags (mainly LastPlayed, SkippedCount and PlayCount) reported by emptool into my database for further use.
After a harddisk upgrade last weekend (replaced the drive), I synchronized my MP3 files back which worked without problems.
But then, I wanted to set these tags (LastPlayed, SkippedCount and PlayCount) back to the values I saved before, but that didn't work. The values stay the same.
I tried it manually with emptool to make sure it's not the fault of my tool:
/All my Discs/Roxette - Stars> lookup 99e0
2405 99e0 I\ Was\ So\ Lucky\ (Tits\ &\ Ass\ demo):
type = tune
length = 4057966
title = I Was So Lucky (Tits & Ass demo)
PlayCount = 0
SkippedCount = 0
LastPlayed = 0
artist = Roxette
comment = 2735
source = Stars
year = 1999
codec = mp3
bitrate = fs128
offset = 0
samplerate = 44100
duration = 253622
tracknr = 3
mp3db_trackid = 2735
So, all three values are zero. So I set it and did a sync:
/All my Discs/Roxette - Stars> set LastPlayed=1014324244 99e0
2402 Set LastPlayed=1014324244 for:
/All my Discs/Roxette - Stars/I Was So Lucky (Tits & Ass demo)
/All my Discs/Roxette - Stars> set PlayCount=2 99e0
2402 Set PlayCount=2 for:
/All my Discs/Roxette - Stars/I Was So Lucky (Tits & Ass demo)
/All my Discs/Roxette - Stars> sync
The sync reported no errors and after the restart i checked the values again and they were still zero:
2405 99e0 I\ Was\ So\ Lucky\ (Tits\ &\ Ass\ demo):
type = tune
length = 4057966
title = I Was So Lucky (Tits & Ass demo)
PlayCount = 0
SkippedCount = 0
LastPlayed = 0
artist = Roxette
In the lookup listing of another post (
Re: "Least Recently Played" is definitely HOSED in) i saw other fields like play_count and a comment that LastPlayed is Bogus. I don't get such lowercase versions of these tags reported by emptool.
I was unable to find more information about the differences between this tags (mixed case and lower case ones).
Does anyone have more information about this tags? How can I set these tags using emptool?
Thanks a lot.
