Re: Version 5 is horrible

Until the Playing panel can be undocked and moved to an external monitor MM5 will be unusable for our group. (So not horrible; just completely unusable!) If this has been addressed, or if there is some other way of getting the Playing list information onto another monitor, then I'll give MM5 another...

Re: How to move (or undock) play list?

Is there a work-around for not being able to undock the Playing list? Is there a way to create a new undocked window that can sort of duplicate the Now Playing functions? Most of the external differences between MM4 and MM5 have just been irritations but not moving the Now Playing list to an externa...

Unusual Error #429

I know there are hundreds of web pages dedicated to fixing VBScript runtime error #429, but I've run into an odd instance of the error in a MediaMonkey script of mine that seems different from those I've seen described. Error #429 - Microsoft VBScript runtime error ActiveX component can't create obj...

Re: How to move (or undock) play list?

Is that going to be fixed? That's a major step backwards.

How to move (or undock) play list?

In MM 4 we move the Now Playing display to an external monitor. (This works whether docked or undocked.) How is this done in MM 5?

Re: How can I request a new skin?

MM4 skins are not compatible with MM5, thus it would require a fully new Skin to recreate an MM4 look. I don't think that really answered John's question. I have a similar question. I cannot migrate my users to MM5 until it looks and feels pretty much like MM4 - MM4 with the Blue Monkey skin in my ...

How to determine music library path in a script?

I have need to find the path to our music library in a script. Luckily, each of our instances of MediaMonkey has just one library. Unluckily, we have multiple instances of portable MediaMonkey with the library in various locations. I found a chunk of code that works: Set TrackData = SDB.Database.Que...

Re: Dialog to select a file to read

It turns out that Windows doesn't provide an easy solution to this task so it's not surprising that MediaMonkey hasn't implemented a canned solution. However, Windows does provide a pretty good alternative. You just have to be willing to stick the script inside an HTA wrapper because HTA does (sort ...

Re: How to add script to media tree context menu?

No script is easy to read. True, but the script I mentioned uses a colon as line separator making it nearly impossible to read unedited. This could be to make for a shorter file to download, but I think it's also for obfuscation. The script uses an apparently random mix of upper and lower case lett...

Re: Dialog to select a file to read

I looked at the Recreate M3U 2.4 script a couple weeks ago and didn't find it useful. I'll look again.

Re: Dialog to select a file to read

I have used that script as a model but have made lots of changes because my goal and the script's purpose are different. However, your suggestion starts with what I consider an unacceptable step: Copy one or more playlists into an empty folder There may be more than one playlist in the folder (or mo...

Re: Dialog to select a file to read

Hi, Why don't you simply use "My computer" tree node, navigate to folder with M3Us and pick one by one? eg. Select track in selected M3U -> Right Click -> Send To Playlists -> New Playlist. That way you will also have control over nested playlist structure. I'll have to consider that. The...

Re: Dialog to select a file to read

Copy the corresponding playlist into an empty folder. Yes, I know I can do that. But that's a restriction I'm not willing to put on the users of the script. If they have a flash drive with a whole collection of mu3 files, why should they have to put each one in a separate folder just so each can be...

[Solved - sort of] Dialog to select a file to read

I am trying to write a fairly simple script that will read an m3u file. I'm basing the script on Trixmoto's ImportM3U 3.8. That script (and every other script I've found so far) creates a dialog that selects a directory and then has a code that loops processing files in the directory. I want a dialo...
