Issues following synology dsm7 upgrade - mv70 - 24-10-2021 08:14
The most immediate thing I noticed was that some of the ratings changed with ‘100, 80 60’ as rating values where they did not exist under dsm6. I was using the latest version of minim2 under dsm6 and I assumed this is the same version available under dsm7.
I’ve had issues before on rating, because I didn’t understand the logic but this has happened without any changes to tagging.
Any ideas?
Thank you

The current versions of MinimServer 2 for DSM 6 and DSM 7 (with the latest update 201 applied) are functionally identical.

When you updated to DSM 7, it is possible you might have lost some MinimServer configuration settings you had applied to your DSM 6 installation of MinimServer. This might affect the way ratings are presented.

Thank you for the reply.
I did check my config settings and they look the same, but I can't be 100% sure.
However, I have narrowed down what's happening. The issue is only with FLAC files - as always
Some time ago I was using my own tag of 'rate', but then moved to using the standard tag of 'Rating' for both WAV and FLAC.
I use Kid3; the 'Rating' tag is shown as 0-5 stars, however if you use edit against that tag for vorbis files it shows the tag setting as 100 (for 5 stars), 80 (for 4 stars) etc. I only use 5, 4 & 3 stars.
When running on DSM6, I had also changed all the FLAC files from using 'rate' to 'Rating' and that worked fine.
Under DSM7, instead of the FLAC tracks appearing in the grouping for 5, 4 or 3 stars (I variously use the Naim & Linn apps), they now show up in new rating groups labelled 100, 80, 60.
If I add the tag 'rate' and add the value of 5,4,or 3 and delete the value in the 'Rating' tag, this moves the tracks to the appropriate group - 5,4, or 3 stars. In the config file I have 'rate:Rating'.
So the problem is fixed, although I have a few hundred tracks to update and I would prefer to use 'Rating' also for the FLAC files that I want to rate.
Any help to understand what is happening is very welcome, but not particularly important as I know how to get back to correctly rated tracks in the control point apps.
Thanks again, Marinko

I checked the previous thread where we discussed this issue. You were using the tagUpdate property to adjust the ratings for your FLAC files. Perhaps the change in behaviour with DSM 7 is related to your tagUpdate setting or the location of your tag update file.

Yes of course and on re=installing minimserver it would not have the tag update file. apologies, I had totally forgotten about that.
thank you, Marinko

If you try to start MinimServer with the tagUpdate property set to a filename that doesn't exist, MinimServer doesn't start and produces an error message. Did you remove the tagUpdate setting from your MinimServer configuration when you reinstalled MinimServer after the DSM 7 update?
