Playback Statistics component: version 3.0.1

the component IMO should implement a more robust saving of statistics database - today my pc crashed and playback stats for about a month period were lost (foobar was running all that time).

the statistics are not saved to disk if you don't close foobar. Very strange behaviour. If not resolved, should at least be mentioned in the component description.

foo_jesus is great

it would indeed be very nice if the database would be saved more often than only when foobar is closed...
my laptop is in pretty bad shape und foobar crashes almost daily when i try to close it...

btw: where is this data stored? i always thought there was a playbackstatistic.dat, because foo_jesus is backing up that file but as i found out today i have no such file on my computer and therefore foo_jesus does not back it up...
is all the information insite index-data?

Things move on.
Playbackstatistic.dat was used in older versions. Yes, index-data is carrying the stat info.

That's an advantage of also saving to tags - you always have a backup.  When I have a crash, I just do an import from file tags.

I´m trying to reset/erase all the statistics data(included the %added% field) of my whole library..how can i do it?..

Don't believe there is any official method. You can get there with an erase of your index-data file. All data gone, all added date changed to now. Whether there are other ramifications, that shall be up to you to determine.

I think foo_playcount doesn't work well with daylight saving time, I see 1 h discrepancies between this component's tags and time stamps through others components.

I was playing with importing "Added_timestamp' and ended up with date "1601-01-01 02:00:00" which is not (by any means known to me) editable/resetable... Isn't there any way (including removing all data for that album from library) to reset this value? Apart from looking dumb it also messes up my "hot rating" calculations

Another suggestion - remove deleted items from library file... Right now it seems that even deletion the information are still in the database, which is a bit problematic (the size of file is huuuge even after deletion of almost half of the collection)
There may be some delay (to avoid wiping data when the remote location is not available) but after, let's say 1-2 weeks it shoud be cleared. Also an manual option would be a neat addition)

Playback statistics data is no longer dropped when the tracks are removed from the media library. A record gets removed when no matching track has been seen by foobar2000 (in Media Library or in any playlist or in an imported XML backup of playback statistics) for four weeks.

Oh thanks - I must have missed that - sorry

OK, but... how does it work? I've turned off foobar, changed date few months into the future and nothing... Do I have to do it day-by-day? Or is there any other way to speed up the process?

I have 2 songs sharing the same Statistic while they shouldn't.
Same %title%, same %Album Artist% which is Various Artists, different %Artist%, no other tags.
What's gone wrong there?

Hello , I have a little question , (2 in fact )

How can I change the time needed for this plugin to consider a track played once and add it to playcount. At default I see it needs about 1 minute playing , but I"d like that it adds to playcount whenever a track starts. For example when I click 3 times on a track it should add plus 3 times played etc

Is this possible ?

And also in "show recently played" dialog , can I change the default setting "last 1 week" to "all" or "3 months" etc ?

thanks

Can not change 1 minute trigger.

Showing recently added from the Library menu will always be the same upon initial click. Once open, you can change it to what ever you want. To avoid doing that repetitively, add it as an autoplaylist with a time frame of your choice [click the ... button ].

Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself. 
you can fake the playcount to whatever you want. You just write a Tag PLAY_COUNT into your file and on right click on that file in playlist you will find Playback Statistics > Import statistic from file tags.
Custom Playcount...

I needed title formatting field name for ratings (with glyphs) so googled 'foobar playback statistics'. First hit - wiki page as needed, but it seemed empty. I thought it's wrong page and searched on HA instead. Clicked on first post link from this thread - same result. It turned out that 'noscript' FF extension blocked page content as potential XSS attempt which is probably BS, but then I don't get those blocks often (in fact I first saw it here, as I wasn't aware of this feature by 'noscript'). I checked quickly other foobar wiki pages, and all seem fine.

Could be some error on page, and also maybe nothing, but thought to post

Peter, I sent you the following as a PM, I am copying it in as a response to this thread as well in case you didn't catch the PM:

I'm not an idiot, I hope you're reading this;

I adore Foobar2000 and especially Foo_Playcount, your work has made improved my day to day
life and I thank you!

If you aren't terribly busy (which I'm sure you are but I digress) would you consider adding support
for the rating of albums in Foo_Playcount? There have been numerous times I would like to sort by
album ratings instead of individual tracks and listen to music as an album as opposed to individual collection
of songs--being a musician especially.

I suppose one could argue that one might simply rate all songs within an album as they would use the
album ratings feature, but that kind of defeats the point of rating a song in the first place, don't you think?

Any response, regardless how brief would be greatly greatly appreciated smile.gif

Hi!

Does anyone know where to find a 2.x version?

This is not working for me. I've got lots of different rips of the same albums. Different masterings, LP, CD and so on.
When they synchronize my whole workflow gets screwed up.

I've looked around but without any luck.

Thanks!

Levi
