addon in toolbar ? (similar as in MMW4) [#17826 #18913]

[Utestit]

Hi,

I used to have a couple of addons pined to a toolbar in the top sections of my MM4 (as buttons).

I tried to re-establish those in MM5, but couldn't find where (I searched both the interface and the forum).
Just added the Genius Lyrics addon, and I still wonder how to start it

Any clue ? Thanks a lot !

Hi, this request is being tracked as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=17826

So not implemented in the initial 5.0 version yet.

Thanks Ludek.

So, meanwhile, any way to launch an addon ? (Genius Lyrics here)

Thanks !

[Lowlander]

That one adds Genius to the existing Lyrics lookup, so I guess (haven't used it) that you can enable/disable this under Tools > Options > Metadata lookup as a source to be used.

Thanks, Lowlander.

Auto-tagging is activated in Library>Metadata lookup - but neither lyrics, nor cover art will "auto-tag".
Although the manual "Lookup image" and "Lookup lyrics" do work (great).

So I guess I hsould request somewhere to add this to MM5 wish list !

Best, G.

Make sure you only install MediaMonkey 5 compatible Addons (MediaMonkey 4 Addons aren't compatible).

If you then have issues with using an Addon ask for help in the Addons forum: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=32

Thanks Lowlander - sure, I stick to MM5 add-ons.

However, per my post above :
. Auto-tagging is activated in Library>Metadata lookup - but neither lyrics, nor cover art will "auto-tag" [ie, no tagging/cover-art-download starts automatically, upon either selecting or playing a title - it used to in MM4 when selecting "auto-tag"].
. Although the manual "Lookup image" and "Lookup lyrics" do work (great).

So I guess that's more of a bug report than anything to to with addons - and maybe I should open a different post / change the name of this one.

Thanks for your help on this !

So you're saying when Preview is set to Playing or Selected it doesn't do auto-lookup? Or are you saying that Tools > Auto-Tag fails?

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey are you using?

So you're saying when Preview is set to Playing or Selected it doesn't do auto-lookup?

exactly [although Opions>Library>Metadata Lookup>Auto-tagging is checked for Artwork and selected for Lyrics]

Which Build (Help > About) of MediaMonkey are you using?

5.0.2.2532

Thanks !

[Lowlander]

Are those fields set to be displayed? Only if they're set to be shown will lookup happen if you allowed it to be done automatically under Tools > Options > Metadata Lookup

For me Lyrics is looked up automatically by Preview.

[Utestit]

Thanks for the detailed feed-back.
To answer your question :
. yes, lyrics & cover were displayed (but on the "side-by-side" mode - which is my "standard" preview window setup);
with this display mode, lyrics & cover do not update automatically;
. however, per your msg, I switched to "advanced" mode -lyrics is selected- and lyrics do update automatically.

So thanks, problem solved !
note: if perfection was requested, lyrics could be automatically updated when in "side-by-side" layout - but as is is fine for me : I shift to "advanced" layout to update a large number of lyrics, and back to "side-by-side" afterwards.

Thanks a lot - great support (as usual )

Hi,
This should finally be fixed in MM 5.1.0.2820+ that should be available soon.
