Previewer 2.9 - Updated 26/07/2014

[BerniPi]

My MM3 shows the same behaviour (it continues the tracks from beginning)

other scripts i've installed: scrobblerdj and FindMissingThe

[trixmoto]

Ok, I'll take a look and see what I can do.

New version (2.4) is now available from my website. I have fixed the disturbed track not been resumed from the correct position in MM3.

Hi Trixmoto,
I really like this script and I thank you for your work on it. I find it very useful and time/frustration saving.

I am currently getting an error which I thought you might like to know about.
The script still seems to work, but an error message comes up. It says:
--------------------
Error #11 - Microsoft VBScript Runtime Error
Division by zero
File: "C:\...(the script file).vbs", Line: 226, Column: 2
----------------
It was happening in V2.3. I just now tried the new version 2.4 and it still occurs.

I am using the latest V3 of MM.
Let me know if I can provide any other info.

With thanks,

Jonathan

Hi Trixmoto,

I am new to MM, so I hope I am not just being dumb here. I have the official MM3 release and I downloaded Previewer 2.4 from your web site. The functionality is just what I am looking for.

However, when I preview a track and then go back to the previously playing track by either clicking 'Add to Now Playing' or 'Remove From Now Playing', the previously playing track starts playing at the beginning, not where it was when I previewed the new track.

If I understand correctly, that is not the correct functionality. Am I just misinformed, or is there something wrong with the script or my set up. I don't have many other scripts installed as I am a newbie.

thanks!

@Inspired - this implies that the track you are trying to preview is 0 seconds in length, which is rather strange. Is it in your library?

@selimsivad - this was the case with 2.3, but should have been fixed by 2.4. Can you please amend line 193...

Code: Select all

Set Tmr = SDB.CreateTimer(100)

...and extend the timer to something more like...

Code: Select all

Set Tmr = SDB.CreateTimer(500)

...does this now work?

Yup - that appears to have done the trick. I made the change and tried using the script a couple times and it now is working correctly.

Thanks! Great program and great script!

For me it just doesn't go back to the previously playing track.

I just installed it for the first time ever. It worked -except I had the same problem that it always played from the beginning of the track.

So I changed line 193.

Now it doesn't work at all. Well, it runs. It interrupts the song but when you close it (or click add to or remove from playlist) it goes back to a completely different song.

I uninstalled the script via tools>extensions and then reinstalled it, but I get the same behaviour; it's going backto a seemingly random track.

Blimey! What am doing wrong?!

[trixmoto]

Well that's strange. Have you restarted MM since you reinstalled the script?

[The Crow]

The change to CreateTimer(500) worked for me as well! Thank you very much!

[Sammy20]

Is it possible to add an option to run this script when right clicking a song? Perhaps next to the Play Now menu item.

Hi Trixmoto:

I seem to keep getting this error whenever I use the Previewer script on my Audiobooks. Could it be they are too long for the script? BTW, the image says it is the previewerbutton.vbs but it is actually the previewer.vbs. It does work after I press ok but I just wanted you to look at it to see if there is a modification that I can make to remove the error.

You could replace this sub procedure...

Code: Select all

Sub UpdatePosBar(PosTimer)
  Dim PosBar : Set PosBar = SDB.Objects("PreviewerPosBar")  
  PosBar.Value = (SDB.Player.PlayBackTime*1000)\SDB.Player.CurrentSongLength
End Sub

...with this one...

Code: Select all

Sub UpdatePosBar(PosTimer)
  If SDB.Player.CurrentSongLength > 0 Then
    Dim PosBar : Set PosBar = SDB.Objects("PreviewerPosBar")  
    PosBar.Value = (SDB.Player.PlayBackTime*1000)\SDB.Player.CurrentSongLength
  End If
End Sub

...to stop getting the error message.

[nynaevelan]

That worked thank you, but the codes are reversed in your message.

I seem to only get this error sometimes, and when it occurs, the tracks are there, and they do actually play. The error does not prevent Previewer from working... I just have to click my way through 2 or 3 error messages.

It is the same error Nynaevelan was getting. If it occurs again I will try the fix you posted to him/her.

The other thing I now notice is that it is not resuming the track that WAS playing. It goes back to the beginning of the track that was playing. I recall it was previously picking up from where it left off. Or is that a feature I have simply imagined was there and has now stopped??

Cheers,
Jonathan
