Again, thank you for your efforts on this, and I hope this isn't user error, but after downgrading to MediaMonkey to 4.1.2, I made it further than with my other issue. but started getting the following error with Python 3.9

line 63, in get_normed_rating
    if rating < 0:
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'NoneType' and 'int'

After some unintelligent banging around, I changed (in MediaPlayer.py)

	def get_normed_rating(self, rating):
		if rating < 0:
			rating = 0
		return rating / self.rating_maximum

To

	def get_normed_rating(self, rating):
                if rating is None:
                          rating = 0
                      elif rating < 0:
                          rating = 0
		return rating / self.rating_maximum

And was able to successfully update my ratings! I have found no other software on the web that can do this, so thanks again. I have no idea what the potential ramification of my edit are, but they seemed to work.

Unrelated, I also encountered your stated bug with python-plexapi not updating non-admin users. I poked around and found this issue, where they reference this code:

from plexapi.server import PlexServer
from plexapi.myplex import MyPlexAccount
import requests

PLEX_URL = "https://127.0.0.1:32400"
PLEX_TOKEN = "YOUR ADMIN TOKEN"

sess = requests.Session()
sess.verify = False
plex = PlexServer(PLEX_URL, PLEX_TOKEN, session=sess)
account = MyPlexAccount(token=PLEX_TOKEN)
user_account = account.user('Guest')
token = user_account.get_token(plex.machineIdentifier)
user_connection = PlexServer(PLEX_URL, token, session=sess)
print(user_connection)
# You can now use "user_connection" as you would the "PlexServer"
print([x for x in user_connection.library.section("Movies").search(unwatched=True)])

I don't know if it's actually relevant, but the discussion seemed to indicate that non-admin user access could be achieve this way (?) I didn't know enough on where to try the changes. I was guessing around line 267 of MediaPlayer.py, and then maybe something to do with:

token = user_account.get_token(plex.machineIdentifier)

But I'm out of my element. Thanks again. I'm already very happy to have my favorite songs easily identifiable in Plex.

When the song title uses a character that can't be encoded, the following error is raised when the debug message is written to sync_ratings.log:

--- Logging error ---

This can be corrected by making the following change to line 58 of sync_ratings.py (to specify the encoding of the file being written to):

fh = logging.FileHandler(filename='sync_ratings.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')

Is this project still being worked on?

Hi,

This tool is exactly what I was looking for! I'm running on a Win10 laptop with the most recent MediaMonkey. My Plex server runs on an Ubuntu box on my local network. I run the script, and it appears to work -- but finds no ratings to sync. According to Plex, I have over 1000 songs rated. I have no songs rated in MM. Here's my output:

It seems like it made a successful connection to Plex - the list of libraries it asks me to choose from is correct.

I have recently (within the past two weeks) completely rebuilt both the Plex and MM libraries.

I suspect I'm doing something wrong with MM...I'm not very familiar with it, and only installed it to use this script to write the rating tags to the mp3 files. Do you have any idea what I may be doing wrong? Or how I can track it down on my own?

Thanks very much for this tool and any help you can provide!

Jim

I believe I have everything set up, but when I try to sync from the command prompt, I receive the following message:

where the username it tries to use was actually what I put as the server name. Do you have any suggestions on how I might fix this?

Any plans to include this feature? Are there any existing tools that can allow for this?

I am running this on a Windows 10 machine.

I go to file>options, and I just get a blank screen.

But if I exit out of "options", and then click on it again, I get an error message:

Hi,

I thought I'd try this script out against a Test collection, just one album on the PLEX side and see what happened.

I started by:
Cleaning all the Ratings from the folder in PLEX
Cleaning all the Ratings on the folder in MM.
Setting one file to 5stars in MM
Syncing the tags between MM and the files.

Then ran the script.

It did match up the 5star test file I'd set, but it also set some other MP3s in PLEX to 2star and 3star, which aren't set in MM.

Whats the threshold it uses to commit to the update ?
When I look at the debug log for one of the wrong files:

Line 851: [16:38:59] DEBUG: Found match with score 35.0 for Dido - No Angel - Hunter: Adam Carroll - Lookin' Out the Screen Door - Hunter's Song
Line 5487: [16:41:50] DEBUG: Updating rating of track "Adam Carroll - Lookin' Out the Screen Door - Hunter's Song" to 3.0 stars

So I think its matching Dido there to Adam Carroll?

I'll look through the code next to see if I can spot a threshold value variable

Using Fedora 31.

Hi, thanks for the project. Helped me get started with coding an iTunes. xml library -> plex syncer. Noticed you had a comment on current issues How to change the ratings on the server (API endpoint).

In order to set rating on the server side you need to use the edit function and pass a dict of values to change.

e.g.

def updateTrack( artist, track, rating ):
    music = plex.library.section('Music')
    foundArtist = music.searchArtists(**{'title': artist})[0]
    foundTrack = foundArtist.track(track)
    print("Rating before: ", foundTrack._data.attrib.get('userRating'))
    foundTrack.edit(**{'userRating.value': rating})
    print("Rating after: ", foundTrack._data.attrib['userRating'])

updateTrack('30 Seconds To Mars', 'A Beautiful Lie', 6)

Complete newb here:
I managed to install git, python, pip,....etc and I tried running the program but I'm getting the following error :

"Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Downloads\Applications\plex-music-rating-sync\sync_ratings.py", line 8, in
from sync_pair import *
File "D:\Downloads\Applications\plex-music-rating-sync\sync_pair.py", line 3, in
from fuzzywuzzy import fuzz
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fuzzywuzzy'"

I think I've got it all setup right but I'm getting this error when using the api token or when using the password.

I get a different message if the password is wrong so I assume it's connecting somewhat.

Seperate question does this get ratings from voribis comments in flac files? I see you only mention ID3 which is used in MP3's.

I don't suppose there's any chance you could release a pre-built install and run version of this? I wasn't really wanting to learn all about Python just to sync my ratings. I tried installing python and running pip3.8 install -r requirements.txt, but I get a ton of errors.

Track view shows these two but no tracks with no names? Does plex show tracks which it cant match?

I think this is mostly me being dense. I've installed all of the python modules but when running the command I get "Error: Unable to connect." The other odd thing though is that it isn't connecting with the username I specified per the message below. PMS is installed on a remote Linux box - do I need to be running this on the server with PMS installed? I wasn't sure if "Server" meant the name of the server hosting PMS or the name of the PMS instance itself (I tried both).

sync_ratings.py --server Plex-DB --player MediaMonkey --username trentflix --passwd PASSWORD

I love the idea of this project though. I use Musicbee but luckily MediaMonkey auto-imports all of the song-ratings from the files themselves.

Hi trying to get this to work with my library, does MediaMonkey need to be configured at all? I moved the installation of MediaMonkey back to my V: drive where the github repo is but not sure if this makes a difference. Can you assist?

Hello,

Thank you for this great software, I'm sure this is user error on my part, but I keep getting this error with Media Monkey 5.0.0.2338

[PlexSync.MediaMonkey.connect:135] No scripting interface to MediaMonkey can be found. Exiting...

I don't see anything special in the instructions pertaining to MediaMonkey setup requirements, but I did see this link:
https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/Controlling_MM5_from_External_Applications

The SDBApplication class is largely unchanged from MediaMonkey 4, but the biggest difference is that it is named SongsDB5.SDBApplication instead of SongsDB.SDBApplication.

I notice the MediaPlayer.py, line 132, references the "SongsDB.SDBApplication" class (?), but simply editing it to "SongsDB5.SDBApplication" just threw different errors. This is all probably a red-herring covering up something obvious I'm missing, but I thought I'd drop it here in case.

Unfortunately with the latest release of plex they introduced an error where Plex just forgets the title of a track. The scipt stumbles over this with the following error (where **** are the missing titles, there are no **** showing, just a "- '"

[03:36:19] ERROR [PlexSync.TrackPair.match:103] Failed to search tracks for track 'Artist - Album - ******* ' stored at \elysium\Music\Plex\Alben\Artist\Album\Artist - Album - track - Title.mp3.

Unfortunately Plex is not known to fix their stuff fast. Is there a quickfix (TRY:) that I can implement myself to handle errors like this. With big libraries the script never runs through. You can refresh metadata on every album but Plex forgets just other titles. Really annoying.

More Info: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/mp9m7w/music_song_titles_disappearing/

Specifically is it possible to read them from Windows Media Player encoded ratings and load them into plex?

I.e. give a folder and then have it read recursively all media tracks and get the rating from there?

Hello, can I run this on my PC where Mediamonkey resides and output to Plex on my Nas on the network?
