Set song rating

[miniburk]

Thanx for a great program!  Love it ! =)

Then the question, how do I set rating in xbmc thru voxcommando ?   I did it by accident, and it's a really good thing to know !

Hi miniburk.

Do you mean, to set rating for the currently playing song?

What do you mean you did it by accident?

Hi !
Yes, I said something wrong (can't remember what) and it set 5 stars on the song that was playing at the moment =)    Tried to find a command for this on the internet, but I didn't find anything

I don't believe there is a command for that if you are using the standard configuration for Frodo, but...

Here are three commands for modifying the rating of a song in XBMC.

- "Increase rating"
- "Decrease rating"
- "Set rating X"  (where X is 1-5)

The first two work fine.

The XBMC json api seems to be a bit buggy when using  AudioLibrary.SetSongDetails.  If you use "Set rating X", it will not really update the rating properly until you stop playing the current song.  If you use "set rating x" and then use "increase rating" it will increase the rating based on what it was before you set the rating!  If you use "Set rating X" and then ask for the rating it will give you the old value, unless you stop and then restart the song.
