I think what you've described is a migration path for addon developers, not end users. Reason why there is no Migration path for users. MM5 is rewrite, it simply asks you to load MM4 Library and settings that can be used in MM5 and other things are essentially new product with same (or almost same)...

There may be lots of reasons that MM 5 has a bright future and I'm sure that many of us would be perfectly happy to use it, but Ventis Media has provided us with no migration path. That is not true, MM5 was free for any GOLD user 5+ years, could be run as separate independent app where you could te...

I could be way off base, but I suspect the the typical MM user is not fluent in either VBScript or JS/HTML/CSS and couldn't care less what's under the covers as long as the product continues to provide the features, functions, and capabilities they depend on. MM 5 does not provide those needed featu...

Before I blunder too far down that path, ... I should have mentioned that this is a portable installation of MM. I see that there is a MediaMonkey\Portable\MediaMonkey.registry. I assume that dynamically sets the registry entries when MM starts. I have multiple copies of this portable installation a...

We usually move the Now Playing panel to an external monitor. We do not have that monitor for a while. When using a single monitor the bottom of the Now Playing display is visible but the title bar is not so we cannot reposition the panel. We can undock it and place it somewhere on our monitor but w...

we are aware of lower number of addons in MM5 compared to MM4. This will definitely improve with some time. It'd help to let us know which kind of addons you miss most and how do you use them, so that we could evaluate what kind of functionality makes sense to add, either directly to MM5 or as new ...

but it is broke ... leads only to window usage where new framework allows other environments. Which is irrelevant for Windows users. MM5 is the future so get used to it! That is an absurd statement. There is no reason for users to switch to MM5 if it does not address their needs. If a learning curv...

I'm sure a lot of effort went into the development of MM 5 - years of design and programming followed by years of beta test. However, it seems like the target demographic was designers, not users. I've heard about how easy customization and add-on development is ... if you know HTML and JavaScript. ...

That's what I did. But I find it strange that a Type=0 script invoked from the Scripts menu does not need those parentheses (so I assume does not get passed an argument) but the exact same script invoked via OnClickFunc in an Auto script's AddMenuItem does need the parentheses. Both are subroutines ...

I just spent a couple months upgrading a very old MMW2.5 implementation to portable MMW4.1. Several times it was suggested in the MMW4 forum that I upgrade to MMW5 instead. I now have the implementation stable enough to consider that suggestion. I'm trying to determine if the upgrade is reasonable (...

I had other stuff I had to do for a few days, but I'm back testing this and I'm getting nowhere. I've finally determined that my problem, or at least one of them, has nothing to do with finding, loading, and executing the "external" script file. It has something to do with the menu item I'...

I got OLE error 800A01C2 again.
I'll go back and look at the other samples you showed earlier and see what I'm missing, but probably not today.

I don't need this working immediately, but I really would like to keep UpdateLocationOfFiles out of the list of scripts that the MM users use.

I'm probably about to show my ignorance, but ... .UseScript=Script.ScriptPath .OnClickFunc="ShowTestMsg" implies that the ShowTestMsg is contained withing this Auto script. Yes? So the IncludeFile subroutine pulls the ShowTestMsg script into this script? But IncludeFile is not in the OnSta...

... May I ask why are you making MM4 script when MM5 is already out and your work can be far more useful if added to MM5 (please do not get me wrong, but user base of MM5 will only grow)? May I wonder I thought I'd address that last question first before addressing your suggestions (which I thank y...

Hi, I guess that the best guess would be the Last.FM script :) I think it should give you an idea on how do most things from Auto. ... Well, I found a couple LAST.FM scripts. I assume you were referring to Last.FM Scrobbler since that's one you wrote. It, and a lot of others I found, show how to ad...
