Nice script!

I just installed it and am streaming UPNP from a FreeNAS server I just set up. It plays perfectly in MM, but I'm confused about browsing music from the UPNP share.

My music is under FreeNAS\iTunes Music\artist folder\album folder. I have to click all the way through to the album folder to get any songs to populate in the main browser window. Admittedly I don't have much experience with MM, but do I have something wrong with my setup? How can I get the entire "iTunes Music" folder to populate the browser so you can search through it all?

THX!

I would add to function 'UPNP_FillNode' in version 0.5

1. Visible not all nodes
2. Icons correspond to the name and type
3. Localize
4. Show Art Album if Album is present in library

'**********************************
'Define AFTER 'Dim NewSong'
'**********************************

Code: Select all

Dim NodeAllow            'Node Present (Video, for example, not visible)
Dim NodeIcon             'Icon for Node
Dim NodeClass            'NodeClass for Icon
'**********************************
'Null NodeClass AFTER 'title = ""'
'**********************************

Code: Select all

NodeClass = ""
'**********************************
'Define NodeClass AFTER 'title = y.childNodes(0).NodeValue'
'**********************************

Code: Select all

case "upnp:class"
	NodeClass = y.childNodes(0).NodeValue
'**********************************
'Define NodeAllow and NodeClass AFTER 'next'
'**********************************

Code: Select all

NodeAllow = true                'Default is present
NodeIcon = Node.IconIndex       'Default icon of parent node
select case title               'Select icon for title
	case "Browse Folders": NodeAllow = false
	case "Pictures": NodeAllow = false

	case "Artist": NodeIcon = 0
	case "Folders": NodeIcon = 20
	case "Genre": NodeIcon = 7
	case "Playlists": NodeAllow = false
End select
select case NodeClass	'Select Icon for Class
	case "object.container.person.musicArtist": NodeIcon = 0
	case "object.container.album.musicAlbum": NodeIcon = 16
End select
'**********************************
'Localize HERE
'**********************************

Code: Select all

title=SDB.Localize(title)
'Apply NodeAllow HERE

Code: Select all

If NodeAllow Then
'Apply NodeIcon AFTER 'NewNode.Caption = title'

Code: Select all

NewNode.IconIndex = NodeIcon
'BEFORE 'case "item":'

Code: Select all

End If
'**********************************
'Make 'Artist of Album' AFTER 'case "dc:creator"'

Good news,
with the new MM beta build (1270), the issues with this script have been resolved. That does not mean there might be other problems, though.
Thanks for the developers for looking into this issue into such brief period of time. Special thanks go to Ludek.

Alright,
I have been looking at the script. Somehow, following method stopped working:

Code: Select all

NewSong.Path = "http://127.0.0.1:5050/song/1"
I am not sure why it stopped working. Using the same URI in the Add File or URL in MM makes this work. I will probably report a bug. Until then, I do not know how to fix this client script.
Regards.

Well, as if you do not know already, I stopped development on this script some time ago. I might help you debug your problems, but first, you need to do something first:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... _DebugView
With DebugView (and probably a debug version of MM) you can view extra information coming from MediaMonkey. In the case of my script, if I remember correctly, it reports some extra info.
About the problem wolle has explained, I can reproduce the same issue with WMP11. The thing is, my script is not getting the proper URL for the songs for some strange reason. Wolle, can you double check this for me? Just browse a song, go to properties, and copy and paste the URL (http://) into a webbrowser. If this does not work, then the script is not interpreting the paths correctly.
Regards.

Hi,

all worked fine until I updated to iTunes 9.0 and MM 3.1.2.1267 beta. I'm able to browse my TwonkeyServer on my Qnap SS-439 but I'm not able to play any song. This worked fine before.

Cheers Wolle

Hello,

i have the same problem like orkaowen.

I installed version 0.5 but don't get any Server listed. I have a router (DGL 4300) and a NAS (Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo including Twonky Media Server).

Any suggestions what could be wrong. I had a short look at the script itself but am not sure whether i have to change it for my purposes. I didn't get any error messages and also found upnp.dll in the system32 directory of the system.

Regards

Maaspuck

Hi,

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

I've downloaded and installed 0.5, and their is a uPnP node showing up in MM. However, I don't see my device listed there.

I have a Streamium WAC75000 and was hoping that I could connect to it with MM.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

I've been reading up on MM scripting and have been trying to debug the code myself. The error that occurs only occurs on the Music node of a WMP11 server, giving error code 2147220975. However this code does not have any articles relating it to UPnP on MSDN. The error can occur occasionally when browsing playlists. Reading other forums suggests that this is a problem with the timeout of the Browse method (though I've been unable to find any list of InvokeAction methods for the UPnP API). As far as I can see there is no way to change this, but I will test it by clearing the library I am viewing and seeing if it will work then. It is worth mentioning that the function did work when I first started the server and installed the script, and I can't remember changing anything between then and a few hours later when it began failing.

A new error has become apparent today - that even when I can get at the Playlists on either the WMP11 server or the MM3 UPnP server I can't actually play anything. MediaMonkey adds the song to the Now Playing list, and can access the metadata. If I view properties the file name is in the form of the IP of the server, a port number (10284 for WMP11, 5050 for MM3 UPnP server) but the song won't play, and if another song is after it in the playlist it skips on after a few seconds. Opening the address in a browser has no result when using the WMP11 address, but prompts me to download the mp3 file when using the MM3 UPnP server.

If anyone has any experiene here or can use what I've said to work out the problems I'd like to hear it.

As an addendum to my previous problem - looking through the playlists there is one which produces the same error as attempting to view the "Music" node on the WMP server. Could there be something about a file in this playlist that is causing the problem? What errors could there be with the file and why do they only show when it is viewed from a different computer to the one running the server? Anyone got any ideas?

Hey, I posted some thanks in the Server thread and echo them here. I have two errors with this script, other than that it works perfectly.

Firstly on the same machine that is running the servers (XP running WMP 11 and MM3 UPnP) I get an "Error Executing Script" when I try to browse "Albums" on the MM3 UPnP server.

I also get this error on my XP laptop, and on that I also get an error when trying to access the "Music" node on the WMP share. I can play music fine if I view it in playlists, but I am told there is an error on line 171 if I try and view the "Music" node.

Thanks for trying to download the script. Somehow, the link does not work on Opera, but it does on Internet Explorer? WTF! I do not know how to resolve this except for moving the website to another place.
If you really want to get the UPNP client script, please download it via Internet Explorer. I will fix it whenever I am back at home in two weeks time.
And thanks for reporting the problem!

Can the author get an active host for the script location? Link to .5 is dead, .4 doesn't work correctly at least for me.
