Importing ratings from itunes library?

Hi there.

I really really want to import all my music ratings from the itunes library into plex server running on my Synology NAS.
I know its posible if the plex server is running on the same PC where itunes is.
I know that there is many people out there that wish the same.
Is it going to be posible or Is there allready now a work arround for that?

I think it might actually work. I’ve just tried using the “Import from iTunes” functionality, and it imported not only my playlists, but also my ratings!
You need to copy across the iTunes Library.xml file to your NAS, update all the links in it to reference the song files correctly, then set the location of this through Settings > Server > Plugins (as well as enabling the iTunes channel).
Then click the three dots next to Playlists and Import from iTunes.
That should do the trick!

Sounds great. But I cannot find three dots next to Playlist and import from iTunes ?

Okay, found out that the settings need to have the “Disable capability checking” market before I got the three dots. And you also need to restart the plex server running on the NAS
I can import the iTunes xml now, but its only the playlists that will import and not the rattings.

So still seeking for a solution.

Hmm strange. For me, the ratings definitely imported. Sorry! Good luck! :blush:

Really?? Have you Plex Server running on a NAS?
Can you please explane how you manage to make it work?

But I’m not looking for a solution for import the playlists at all.
Only the ratings on this thread.

Okay I understand.
I can import the iTunes xml now, and if I look into the Itunes plugin, I can se the playlists and the ratings displayet with “4Star”,“5Star” etc.
But the Playlists view on Plex Server dosnt have anything in it, and the Ratings on plex is still not showing up.
It seems that something in the end of the process is not transfer the plugin data to the plex itself?

Do you have any idea ?

Yes, I did remove the Smart playlists before import. And the Ratings are in the xml file and also in Plex servers Itunes plugin.
iTunes Music Library.zip (1.7 KB)

Exectly. So now the ratings need to be copyet to the Plex itself and not just stay in the plugin that has no plex design in it at all.

Okay. I really hope that there will be a solution for this soon.
I cannot use plex for my primary musicplayer if I can only use itunes plugin. It is useless.
