Skip Counting only partially implemented [#7997]

[markstuartwalker]

I thought that MM4 was going to implement skip counts as well as play counts? Well I can report that it has only partially been done.

It seems that the SongsData object has got a SkipCount integer but no LastSkipped date field.

Looking at the COM type library ISDBTrackSynchStatus doesn't have SkipCount or LastSkipped attributes.

With a bit of data table browsing it would seem that the DEVICETRACKS table has no skip columns at all.

Is there an intention to complete this implementation?

Actually we haven't thought of that recently as LastPlayed is not updated when skip count is increased. But I see your point

Anyway I added it as http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=7641

Will this include the additional columns in the DEVICETRACKS table and the ISDBtracksyncstatus interface too?

Quite a few of my users have asked for skip count sync features to be added to the d_iTunes driver and I'll need these features.

And finally, the native d_iPhone plugin, will this support skip counts too?

I don't see http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=57006 being resolved completely.

Sure, the COM attributes are there and a DB column in SONGS table but the DEVICETRACKS table still has no SKIPCOUNT column which I presume means that the iPod/iPhone sync doesn't include it.

It also means that my iTunes plugin can't be enhanced to include SkipCounting. Disappointing.

I raised this http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=57006

I've checked in build 1394 today and confirmed that the DEVICETRACKS table still does not include a SKIPCOUNT field which means that skip counting in MM4 has been implemented in MM itself but the function isn't extended to the iPhone plugin.
