Star Rating for Videos

One of my favourite uses for my new ipod touch is video podcasts. This little gadget is amazing, and I can't really fault it with much, but this is annoying:
I cannot rate my videos (video podcasts for that matter) with stars. This is possible in iTunes, and I use this frequently so that I can keep episodes I really enjoyed and clean my HD of the rest.
A annoying workaround for this is to go back to the Music app, find that same (video) podcast and rate it there.... cumbersome... (perhaps related to this discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6352050&#6352050)
Any suggestions?
Mike

Yes, the hollow stars can appear one of two ways. If you rate any songs on an album (using solid stars), iTunes will "suggest" an +Album Rating+ with hollow stars. If you rate an album (using solid stars), iTunes will suggest a Rating of that value with hollow stars for each unrated song from that album.
If you want to give your songs a Rating, then disregard the hollow stars for the album. The hollow stars do not really represent a rating.

How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author?

How do I add a widget to give a review or star rating for a book at the end of a book in iBooks Author? You know, how you buy books on iBooks and when you're finished reading it, there's a place where you can give a rating or review right there on the very last page?

Just supply a link that says 'Review This Book' - use http://itunes.apple.com/linkmaker/ to generate one.

Star rating for an album all shows up as 5-stars -- only an outline

i just noticed that a random album i have is rating all 5 stars (i didn't do this). however, the stars are only outlined, and i can't remove the stars. i can re-rate the songs, but i just want them to have no rating at all.
has anyone seen this "star outline"?

How to get current logged in user's star rating in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
Currently, I am developing a custom web part to show star rating for documents, everything is done.
However,when user hover on the star I want a tooltip message("Your current rating is 1..."), similar to what we have
in libraries(or what the sharepoint by default provides in libraries) . So can I get the user specific rating depending upon
the logged in user using code(.net or CSOM anything will work)

using the below code you can get the rated by user along with the rating , it's easier to just notify the user that her already rated the document
var acontext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var lists=acontext.get_web().get_lists();
var l =lists.getByTitle("Documents"); //your document libraty
var aitem=l.getItemById(27);//Item id
acontext.load(aitem, "RatedBy", "ID", "Ratings");
acontext.executeQueryAsync(function(){
var RatedBy= aitem.get_item('RatedBy');
if (!SP.ScriptHelpers.isNullOrUndefined(ratings)) {
for (var i = 0; i < RatedBy.length; i++) {
var user = RatedBy[i];
if (user.get_lookupId() == _spPageContextInfo.userId) {
//show that you already rate it
break;
},function(s,e){alert(e.get_message());});
another way is to use CAML query to check if the current user id is within the RatedBy multi user field
Hope that helps|Amr Fouad|MCTS,MCPD sharePoint 2010

HT5024 It states that it takes 24hrs for changes to come into effect. However, what does it mean that it may retains my review in the system indefinitely, so if I rate it 1 star by accident, and changed it to rate 5 stars, the 1 star rating is not removed

Hi,
One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
Any idea how can this problem be solved?
It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
Thanks

Is there a sortking/rating software, like Bridge for Video.

I have a project with a lot of files, and need to do something neat with them.

I use Bridge for video as well, but I'm sure there's a neater program available that specifies in video logging.

Star rating on Windows / colour coding on OSX

Hi Smart people in Appleland
Some of my team are on Mac (me in particular) and some are on Windows. We Sync files via Dropbox.
As part of our research we trawl a lot of documents and review them. On the Mac I colour code them (labels) for relevance (Green = great, Yellow = maybe, Grey = not relevant).
The folks on Windows use their star rating system ***** = great, *** = maybe, * = Grey.
At the moment, the Mac folks can't see their ratings, and the Windows folks can't see my colour codings. The workaround is to print out a screenshot and re-enter the ratings / colours, which works, but is tedious to say the least.
Does anyone have an alternative solution which can be seen on both platforms?
Many thanks

Feature Request: Advanced Star Rating

Is anyone else really interested in advancing star rating?
I rate all of my songs whenever I can. I wish every playlist had the ability to play higher rated songs more often. Not just smart lists. I have an idea tho as well that would be great. It should be very easy to choose your rating limitations in a playlist... maybe even have it as an extension of your PLAY button. You click play, drag down and choose which ratings you would like to limit your playlist to. Also... I want to be able to rate my songs through SIRI! We need to make rating songs as easy and natural as possible.
What if we could group songs into different "moods". This would be a way of putting all of the slow songs, heavy songs, instrumental songs into their own categories regardless of the umbrella "genre" that covers the entire album.
I think setting the "mood" of a song could be done at the same time on your iPhone as you are rating the song through gestures. So if you have 4 moods associated with your iPhone/iPod then when you click your Star you then drag down which reeals a list of moods to then choose. So you click the Star of your choice for the song and then drag down to choose the mood of the song. This is useful even within playlists because you can have a playlist playing and suddenly "switch the mood" and/or star rating limits of the playlist on the fly.
I think this type of feature will determine the music players of the future.
Until music players can read our minds! Yes, I honestly believe one day music players will know what you want to listen to even when you dont! Just by analyzing your mood... you know those times when you ask yourself... "what do i want to hear right now!" The music player of the future will tell you... Let's help get there!

Myko,
The ability to only include certain ratings in a Smart Playlist is already there.
Your other suggestions sound new. You can submit them to Apple via the Feedback page:

Smart folders seems not to work with star rating. Is there a fix?

I Rate photos with a five star rating either on iPhoto or Adobe Bridge CS5. When I create a smart folder setting the search attribute to "Rating equals 5" nothing appears on the search.

Sorry,
I think I misunderstood your question. You were talking about smart folders in the Finder and not about smart albums in iPhoto, right? "Rating equals 5" does not work on any of my machines, neither in Snow leopard nor in Lion. The problem seems to be how to represent the rating in the search string. If I search for "Rating is not 5" the smart folder contains plenty of pictures, also those with a rating of five. Does anyone know how the rating is coded to be used in a search string in the Finder?

Half Star rating just in Library ?????????

I just downloaded the AppleScript for Half Star rating and it works,
BUT I can't make a smart playlist with half star ratings (for example as song with a 3 1/2* rating isn't shown in a smart playlist with 'greater than 3* and less than 4* rules).
Also in the 'Get info' box of a song, a song with a 2 1/2* rating is shown with a 2* rating.
So a half star rating is only shown and can be set up in the Library.
Maybe there is a script to change this ??? Otherwise in my opinion, half star rating is quite useless.

It's obviously an unactivated feature that Apple have yet to implement. I too have the script and was hoping that iTunes 6.04 would activate this but it hasn't. My guess is they need to get it working on the iPod firmware before they update it in iTunes. Here's hoping for an update soon...

Keep star-Rating of imported photos

is it possible to recognize the star-Rating of imported photos (from Aperture). Rating and key-wording was done in Aperture. After export and import to iPhoto kewords still there, but rating is zero for all images.
Rating is written in Exif-data and can be show in Apples Preview e.g. („star Rating: 3“)
Is there a possibility to transfer the rating to iPhoto (iLife 09 - iPhoto 8.1.2)

iPhoto doesn't read the rating field nor does it write to it. Send a feature request via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Edit Star Time Lapse videos shot on a G16 to bring out better colors?

Is there a good way to edit the Star Time Lapse videos shot on a G16 to bring out better colors?

Hi bfreddy1!
Thank you for posting.
Video can be edited to change how the colors are represented by most commercially available video editing software applications. We do not make any of our own directly, so we cannot advise you on a specific workflow, but you may want to check into what features are supported by the various applications out there on the market.

Applying star rating/color label to "Current Pick" in Stack View mode

Is it possible to apply a star rating/color label to the "Current Pick" in Stack View Mode? Thanks.

is there a way of applying both the five-star rating, AND the green color label at the same time, with one keyboard shortcut, or otherwise?
If you need to do this in exactly one action, then I don't think there is a way to do this. Of course, if you want to accomplish this in two actions, you can select all the 5 star images, and then apply the Green color label to them all in one step, but that isn't what you asked for.
Is there any way to make my five-star rated photos more visually prominent in the grid view?
Not that I know of
ANother thought is to create a smart collection of your 5 star images, and then you can use the smart collection to view the 5-star images (none of the other images will appear)

Export to JPG with Star Rating

I am using LR4.2.
I have done it before while using LR3 - when exporting to JPEG, I like to include the star rating with those JPEG for easy sorting down the line (after finishing the photo in Photoshop). However, it seems like with LR4, something changed and now my star ratings no longer get exported when creating JPEGs. Is there a way to get that back? I have selected the option to include all metadata when exporting already.
Please help. Thank you.

When trying to create jpg or png files, there is no "Save as Copy" option, only "Export". I'm having the same issue with a script to output multiple formats. It will export jpg and png but the png file overwrites the jpg file because they don't have visible extensions.

Cloud files star-rating

I just want to stick some photos up in the cloud for clients to look at. I currently use onedrive for this as its got a fairly nice photo interface. It does not display star rating though.
I've not used it yet because its not very intuitive or obvious. (Like why doesn't lightroom let you send to the cloud?)
I've just had a quick go and it looks like
a) no star rating either
b) in the loupe view you cant go from one photo to the next. Is this correct? Do you really need to go back to the thumbnail view to go to the next image???? Oh brother
Does anyone know a cloud platform that displays photos nicely and where you can select metadata to display like star rating?
