@fizzjob - if I add a <VBR> field to the "extra info" mask which will display "VBR" or "CBR" then you would be able to replicate this as <Bitrate> is already available. Would this be suitable for you?

@antiduplicity - only the skins which are linked to from my website work with the latest version. There a number of older skins which have not been updated yet.

@Mizery_Made - thanks, just realised you beat me to the punch with that response!

I have been using MonkeyRok for quite a while now, but I haven't noticed this before.
I have noticed that if I play an album that also has tracks from that album in a compilation album, it displays both.

[trixmoto]

I can't replicate this - anyone else having the same issue?

That'd be great, yeah. I never actually payed any attention tho the "Extra Info" mask, so I didn't know I could do that in the first place. But, yeah, the <VBR> field would be a great addition, thanks!

I figured out where I can add that mask myself, even, so now I'm doing it properly.

I would also find this to be useful. I already have the bitrate displayed and VBR/CBR would be a nice addition.
Thanks

If you want to add it, it's really simple. Just find the section in functions.vbs where the "<Bitrate>" appears (line 493 in mine), and paste this chunk of code in after that line:

Code: Select all

if cursong.VBR Then
   str = Replace(str,Translate("<VBR>"),"VBR")
Else
   str = Replace(str,Translate("<VBR>"),"CBR")
End If

Then you can add a <VBR> mask in the MonkeyRok options.

monkeyrok 5.1 doesn't work anymore to me
it shows the internet explorer error "impossible to display the page" but mediamonkey.exe it's allowed in firewall rules (comodo).

Have you tried with other skins? Maybe the current skin you use has been deleted/uninstalled? Check in folder

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\MonkeyRok\skins

to see if skin's folder is empty.

Yep. MonkeyRok skin was set to - Automatic -. Now I've setted to default.tabs and it works again ^__^

Thanks for the tip!

I have a 2 in 1 question:
I've seen that some skins have seen their compatibility with 5.1 broke. Is it the case for vitreous?
Are there some skins that allow to change track rating from Monkeyrok?
I recently reinstalled MM, and would like to display the top rated tracks from last.fm, so I added the "top track" extra panel. But this panel look weird, I thought it would display the number of time the song has been listen to from last.fm. Does the skin hide it?

Thanks a lot guys.

There are some skins which have not been updated for version 5.1, however "vitreous" is not one of them, it has been updated. All skins should allow you to change the track rating by right-clicking on the rating and selecting a new one from the context menu. I think the reason that the top tracks panel looks "weird" is because there isn't a one-to-one relationship between the track in Last.Fm and the track in your library, because one track can appear on multiple albums. If you click on the summary though you will get all the tracks which match and their playcounts are displayed individually.

[neFAST]

Ok thanks for your answer. What about the display of each file "lastfm playcount"?
The one you can see in the "Top tracks" or charts. http://www.lastfm.fr/music/Arcade+Fire/+tracks

Is it available and hidden by the skin?

[trixmoto]

Well I didn't think it would really be relevant information, I'd have thought your own playcount would be more useful than that of all the Last.Fm users?

[neFAST]

I would find this information usefull, let me tell you why.
I have some albums I've borrowed or bought a long time ago. I do not remember if there were a particular song I did like, a one-hit-wonder or something like that. So when browsing in those albums that have no rating and 0 playcount, I like to preview the top songs and decide if I keep this album on my main hard-drive. This is why I would like to get lastfm total playcounts and not only the top20: it's easier to detect "radio hits".
I understand that this option could be hidden by default. Skins use css theming, do they?

[trixmoto]

Yes, they do use css. I'll see what I can do in the next version.

Thanks a lot!
