Success! It worked as expected on 3021 and took about the same amount of time as it used to on v4.

Thank you for your quick response.

Hmm,
you seem to be right, it does not work with 5.0.4 builds, only with latest 5.1.0+ builds and 2024 builds..

I'll look why it does not work with 5.0.4 -- although it is probably seamless, because we are going to release it as bundled addon with the newest builds..

EDIT:
ok, I added one new function to the API, so yes, you will need to install 3021 build ( https://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/MediaMonkey_2024.0.0.3021_Debug.exe ) plus the addon installed from my DropBox link

Update: after 15 more minutes, there was still no advancement of the status bar. I terminated the process, closed MM5, waited a few seconds and reopened, where I can confirm the status bar is working properly for other tasks.

If you need a log file to examine, please advise.

Ludek,
Thank you for implementing this. I have installed it in v5.0.4.2692 and found the commit dialog to be intuitive, although it would be great if there was a way to configure the filename and location as a set option so I don't have to browse to the designated folder each time I want to export.
However, after 5 minutes, the library is still exporting, and it never used to take this long in the previous v4 iteration. I have 13000 files and maybe 200 playlists. The status bar along the bottom shows "Exporting (filename and path)" but I see no colored status bar along with it so I have no way to tell if it's incrementally progressing or not. I'll leave it open for another 15 minutes but I don't think it should be taking that long...?

Hi,
good news, I implemented it as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=20689

Implemented in build 3022 and added as bundled addon available under menu File > Export > iTunes Library XML

Before the 3022 is posted feel free to install it from this MMIP:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8u4brr0kpwvahphw0r1s3/exportiTunes.mmip?rlkey=o4ht4volm65ow0hjqq2r6qi5g&dl=0
and test how it works for you and report here once you find some issues with this addon..

Thanks!

I got so frustrated about this, but in the end I made the jump to MM5. I've been having MM open on one screen and Traktor on another and I drag/drop my playlist items into a blank corresponding playlist I create in Traktor. It's not ideal, but I'm dealing with it. There are still other features/add-ons of MM4 that I miss terribly (Advanced Find & Fix, I miss you) but it felt like I was prolonging the inevitable.

I am not well-versed in XML parsing and syntax, so I'm unable to answer your question, other than to say it's whatever format iTunes was using when it used an XML file for its playlists. The add-on I was using was a script called Export to iTunes XML ( https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/export-to-itunes-libraryxml/ ).

Added this request as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=20689

Could you please share sample XML format that you need? And which addon you use for it in MM4?

Thanks!

Bumping this up as I am still quite keen on finding a script to export to XML for Traktor in MM5. It's truly the main component of my workflow that is keeping me on MM4 for now. Is this possible? Would somebody with skills please please consider making this? I know many of us would be ever so grateful.

I am placing another vote for this feature. There are only a few features that I must have which are preventing me from upgrading to MM5, and this is one of them. I use Traktor and the mechanism to export my MM playlists in XML works quite well, apart from the diacritic read issue in Traktor (but that's not for this forum).

Exporting iTunes.xml should be quite easy to add as an addon.

For inspiration see the core addons like
[MM install folder]\scripts\export\
[MM install folder]\scripts\exportPlaylists\
[MM install folder]\scripts\exportPodcasts\

Hi,
Sorry to hear that, unfortunately we do not own RecordBox compatible device to test with. Have you tried to ask them to make such plugin?

I am guessing that they would take most of the credit out of it.

As far as I can tell, the "Bridge" panel for Rekordbox is an old feature and no longer exists in the current 6.0 version of the program. I visually searched as well I found no match when searching "bridge" in the current Rekordbox manual.
That "rekordbox for Developers" page seems outdated as most forum posts referring to a "bridge" average in date from 2013-2015
yes, it's strange that it's still linked and accessible.

an iTunes xml export looks like the easiest way to have a MM library/playlist sync with RB.

Hi,
From What I see only thing you need is a BRIDGE MM plugin that will export/prepare Playlists from MM to RekordBox.
It is explained at https://rekordbox.com/en/support/developer/

Just gunna bump this and say this is the one thing that's stopping me from upgrading to 5.

I DJ, having Rekordbox read an "iTunes" xml file is key to my library workflow.

If there was a first party solution that would be amazing, as it seems the lad that wrote the plugin for MM4 isn't keen on rewriting it for 5 anytime soon.

Hi,
[quote=forschi post_id=482487 time=1622836491 user_id=81561]
I just installed MM5 and the iTunes XML would be very much appreciated for the scenario pointed out initially as DJ software (Traktor) can read iTunes formatted database.
[/quote] Why do you even need that MM can easily sync your whole set/files pre prepared for Traktor/Serato/MixVibes/... in folder/file format that are easily imported on site and even easier navigated. Paired that with Exported related Playlist it eliminates any need for additional scripts. I used that for years in MixVibes and Serato. It is very simple in MM5 when you set external HDD as sync device and as soon as you connect it MM5 can sync prepared set in desired format so that when sync is complete you are ready to go.
