Re: Remote Control for MediaMonkey 5
I have the paid version of Monkeymote and have used it with MM4 sucessfully - I installed this new Monkeymote plugin but it doesn't seem to work (not detecting) and I can't find any settings menu anywhere within MM5 - are there some instructions that you can provide? Not sure what I am missing...
Re: Remote Control for MediaMonkey 5
Are you using the latest MediaMonkey 5.0.4 beta, it is required.

Yes - using 5.0.4.2665 and I just tested with MM4 and Monkeymote works with that version
Re: Remote Control for MediaMonkey 5
It should show up under Options \ Addons \ Manage Addons if it's properly installed. There should also be an icon in the system tray that you can click to bring up the plugin configuration dialog.telecore wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 8:52 pm I have the paid version of Monkeymote and have used it with MM4 sucessfully - I installed this new Monkeymote plugin but it doesn't seem to work (not detecting) and I can't find any settings menu anywhere within MM5 - are there some instructions that you can provide?

Re: Remote Control for MediaMonkey 5
that's amazing!! Thanks!!!
It's only been 17 months since the release of MM5 for my most missed feature (full remote with rating ability) to become available So of course I instantly got my paid license for MonkeyMote (although I'm on team mmremote ).
At first go everything seems to work fine! Will test further.
As a note to any first time users: There is no plugin config dialogue in MM5 like the one described here, just enter MM5's IP (MM5>Options>Library>Media Sharing without :Port) to the app's dialogue.
Just one plea: please make it possible to rate in half stars / steps in the client app, it seems to only accept full stars. Also, existing half star ratings are not displayed correctly.

Re: Remote Control for MediaMonkey 5
Thanks for the feedback! You are right, half-star ratings aren't implemented. That may have to wait until the app gets a much needed facelift, though.
Re: Remote Control for MediaMonkey 5
It shows up but no icon - by the way I am running MM5 in portable mode - is there anything else that needs to be done for this case? Not sure why it's not working...
Re: Remote Control for MediaMonkey 5
You may have to run
Code: Select all
MediaMonkey.exe /elevate /regcomserver
Re: Remote Control for MediaMonkey 5
That was the problem - working now - thanks!

Is it in your plans to add a feature to MonkeyMote for selecting devices recognized by MM5 to play to?
For example, on my Windows PC in MM5, I can select to play to a Denon Heos speaker or some other device.
This would make MonkeyMote a good alternative to Apple's iTunes remote.

That depends on whether or not there'll be API support for that. I think there isn't at the moment?

Hi Guys,
When I pick one songs from a playlists it seems to select all songs from the playlist and add them to now playing, is this normal behaviour or can I change a setting I've missed? And also, can you queue songs from playlists? I just can't seem to find an option for that..
Thanks for the app I'm loving otherwise.

Hi,
Yes it is default behavior.
You can change default behavior in MM at Tools -> Options -> Player and also you can set behavior per type under Tools -> Options -> Player -> Playback rules.
Please let us know what else you are missing.
