Re: Two "Now Playing" lists?

Perhaps, you have both the Now Playing window and Now Playing node to work with. In MediaMonkey 4 the Now Playing window can be detached. Ah! Thank you. We detach and move the Now Playing window to the 2nd monitor. I didn't realize that clicking on the Now Playing node would bring up the list in th...

Two "Now Playing" lists?

Is it possible to have 2 "Now Playing" lists displayed? I would like one for a large 2nd monitor and one on the regular MM screen for a "DJ" to use. The one on the external monitor could be display-only; it wouldn't be used to control the list. I assume there is no way to have th...

Re: Any way to execute a type=0 script that isn't in scritps.ini?

Since there have been no responses, let me try again with maybe a more specific question. I would like to be able to invoke UpdateLocationOfFiles.vbs from somewhere other than Tools/Scripts. Having it be an entry under File would be ideal. I suspect there are scripts (run from Auto) that add functio...

Re: How to populate custom fields?

Thank you. I had not looked in Classification. I was just able to fix about 50 tracks that all needed the same information in the custom field. I haven't yet looked into AutoPlayLists (because it didn't sound like something I needed ... just like Classification. I'm slowly learning.) I've also notic...

Re: How to populate custom fields?

I want to know the "formal" way of getting data into these fields. From where? Copying the field from a track that that already has the data, probably. These custom fields contain country of origin and teacher. I can certainly find that data as plain text somewhere even if there are no tr...

Re: How to populate custom fields?

I think I didn't explain very well. The fields are standard MediaMonkey custom fields: [CustomFields] Fld1Name=Country Fld2Name=Teacher Fld3Name=Comments I believe they may have been populated outside of MediaMonklkey but MediaMonkey knows about them and displays them in track data. I want to know t...

How to populate custom fields?

I'm in the process of building a new MM 4.1 system based on on an old MM 2.5 system. In the old system there were some custom fields in the database records that, I think, had been set using a homegrown Access utility. The fields copied over during the 2 database upgrades, but we don't have a way of...

Re: Script to save Now Playing list in a new playlist?

Whoa, MediaMonkey 2.5, that's really old! I'm impressed that you hadn't felt the need to update until now. 🙂 MediaMonkey 5 is a huge upgrade even from 4.1, I'd recommend switching. The person maintaining our multiple cloned systems had a bunch of utilities (outside of MM) that did stuff with the ol...

Re: PaceMaker in MediaMonkey 4.1

Thanks. I've now changed to WAVE OUT and found the buffer specification. I'll see how it works.

Regarding collecting diagnostic data, I have no idea how to create the debug log, but I assume it's documented somewhere. I'll look into it soon.

PaceMaker in MediaMonkey 4.1

We use PaceMaker to slow music down when learning dances. PaceMaker 1.2 works fine with a very old MM 2.5.5 but PaceMaker 2.7.3 has problems with MM 4.1.29. I can't actually prove the problem has anything to do with PaceMaker, but when Pacemaker is active MM occasionally just quits. No controlled sh...

Re: Script to save Now Playing list in a new playlist?

MediaMonkey 4 already saves the Now Playing as mediamonkey.m3u8 on shutdown (in MediaMonkey 5 it's updated as changes are made). You can find it where the ini is saved: https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/knowledge-base/mediamonkey-install-config/modifying-the-mediamonkey-db-and-ini-files/ Ah. I wo...

Re: Script to save Now Playing list in a new playlist?

Hi, Maybe I am not regular user, but I do not see the point to save new playlist on each playlist change. ... Sure, script can be made, but as MM5 is out I really doubt that someone will make script for MM4 as in MM5 things are even easier because we use more common Java Script. ... I don't want a ...

Re: Script to save Now Playing list in a new playlist?

Hi, No need for addon. Select all track in Now playing -> Right click on one -> Send to -> Playlist -> Create New Playlist. I know it can be done manually. I want a way that can be automated - hence, a script. BTW, somehow this thread landed in the MMW5 forum, but I'm using MMW4.

[Solved] Any way to execute a type=0 script that isn't in scritps.ini?

In a portable MM 4.1 installation I want/need the script UpdateLocationOfFiles.vbs to be available to anybody syncing / cloning multiple copies of the portable media but I don't want it visible to the typical user. Is there some way to execute the script if it isn't in the scripts menu?

Script to save Now Playing list in a new playlist?

Is there an existing script, or a set of scripts that can be cannibalized, that will save the Now Playing list to a new playlist? I know it can be done manually, and it usually is done in our setting, but we need a more foolproof method. The best solution would be something automatically invoked at ...
