Hi.
Of all my tracks only about 2-3% are rated. I use the grouping tag to store rating info: if a track has 1 star, I write 20 in the grouping tag, 40 for 2 stars… 100 for 5 stars - and leave the grouping tag empty for unrated tracks.
Then I use Erland's custom scan plugin to read the grouping tag and import the ratings into LMS. Works great BUT here's the problem:
I'm running LMS9 on older hardware, and after every rescan the custom scan plugin will go through every single track (as expected) and check their grouping tag. Since it's older hardware it takes forever!
Now I'm desperately looking for a way to speed this up but haven't found a solution myself yet.
The perfect solution would be to single out all tracks whose grouping tags are not empty (preferably during the LMS rescan process itself) and have the custom scan plugin scan only these tracks. But I don't know how to do this or whether this is possible at all (I'm not SQL-savvy).
I could make use of all Erland plugins if necessary because I bought the lifetime license.
If you can think of a way to achieve this I would be very happy to hear about it. Thank you.
