I am running VirtualDJ 8.0.0 Mac Build 2003.833.
I cannot get VirtualDJ to display the star rating for any of my songs.
I have set getRatingFromTags to 'yes', and I have tried re-analyzing and reloading the tags for 1 or more of my tracks, but the 'Rating' column in the browser stubbornly refuses to show anything.
I have confirmed the songs have ratings in their ID3 tags (verified using VirtualDJ's own tag editor).
It will only show the star rating for a track if I use the tag editor to 'update' the file and click 'Write Tags', but this setting is forgotten when I re-open VirtualDJ.
Why isn't it reading the existing rating from the file?
Thanks!

had the same issue (also with grouping tag).
It only work on 1st import or fresh DB
Be shure to write correct values in %popularimeter% :
51 = *
102= **
153= ***
204=****
255=*****
Windows user with MP3tag uses the tag field %popularimeter% ore this script.
$if(%rating winamp%,$repeat($char(10032),%rating winamp%),$if(%rating wmp%,$repeat($char(9733),%rating wmp%),$if(%rating mm%,$repeat($char(10026),%rating mm%),$repeat($char(10061),$if2($ifgreater($regexp(%popularimeter%,'^.+\|(\d{1,3})\|\d+',$1),250,5,$ifgreater($regexp(%popularimeter%,'^.+\|(\d{1,3})\|\d+',$1),200,4,$ifgreater($regexp(%popularimeter%,'^.+\|(\d{1,3})\|\d+',$1),150,3,$ifgreater($regexp(%popularimeter%,'^.+\|(\d{1,2})\|\d+',$1),100,2,$ifgreater($regexp(%popularimeter%,'^.+\|(\d)\|\d+',$1),50,1,))))),0)))))
Put this Formatstring into the Value edit field of a column definition dialog, leave the Field edit field empty (for read only) or write %popularimeter% in edit field

Hi djnice,
Thanks for your response, but I'm not sure what you mean.
getRatingFromTags worked in a previous build. Now it's broken.
How do I file a bug report?

After you enable it, it will indeed only apply to either new tracks, or tracks that you manually select 'Reload tags' for.
Are you sure this was the case?

@Adion
can you tell me why VDJ writes integer with a "|" in rating tag?
for '***' will be written a '|153'
but a manual written '153' will be recognised at 1st import

Which file format?
Posted Wed 22 Oct 14 @ 5:09 am
mp3 and shown in MP3tag
Posted Wed 22 Oct 14 @ 5:26 am
I don't know what MP3Tag shows then, but VDJ stores it in the POPM tag for ID3, which is a binary field and doesn't contain any '|'

I just tried the latest build (Build 2028 (11/02/2014)), but it only half fixes the problem.
If I reload tags, the star rating is read from the ID3 tag and displayed correctly in the browser.
But if I then restart VirtualDJ, all the ratings disappear and I have to reload all tags again.
Please can someone check this?

I cant believe after 4 months this is still an issue. I still cant get VDJ 8 to read ratings. It should be a simple data read. What is the holdup?
Posted Tue 17 Mar 15 @ 2:05 pm
Do you have getRatingFromTags enabled, and tried to reload tags for the files already in the database after enabling that option?
Posted Wed 18 Mar 15 @ 12:58 am
I cant get this to work either. I have getRating enabled but I cant get VDJ to read them (reload tags). It does work on mp3 files but not on mp4 videos.
