Video Node 3.2 [MM2+3]

When you press "Ins" (or "File, Add/Rescan...") you get the form where you select the folders. At the bottom of that there's a box titled "Add filetypes" - this list should have a checkbox labelled "AVI". Assuming you've selected the right folder, this will add your videos.

The Videos node is not coming up in quite the right place - it should be directly above the magic nodes normally. I presume you've got another script adding "Album Artists" node - is that Magic Nodes or an auto-script?

Another quick (bad) screen shot:

as you can kinda see avi is not listed.

And that is magic nodes making the album artist node. I also have a hide nodes script running for some. Among others

You need the "in_VID4WA.dll" winamp plugin. If you can't find it on the winamp website, email me, and I'll email it back (248k).

Yea it works now it makes sense that you would need a plugin. You should probably add that to the first post in this this thread.

here is a link: http://winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=125487

you download an installer not the plugin itself

I have a problem.

http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=469
btw: i use the script at the bottom of the post, the earlier one is still at the MM add-ons page for download (just mentioning it)

i use this script to open .mov-movies in media player classic (i changed it from winamp to this, as it can play quicktime movies),
now i also added 'MOV' to the list i want to appear, but MOV is not in the list (with the ckeckboxes), the others are.
What am i doing wrong?, do i have to change a 3 into a 4 (because there are 4 types of movies now ???
i don't seem to be able to find the problem.

My script only shows items in the database. To add the .mov extension to MM you need to find a suitable plugin (presumably there's a winamp one) and add this to MM's plugins folder. This should add the extension and therefore allow you to add these tracks (which my node will then display).

With thanks to Bex this script now works with extensions length 2-4 (not just length 3).

Code: Select all

' MediaMonkey Script
'
' NAME: VideoNode 2.0
'
' AUTHOR: trixmoto (http://trix.dork.com)
' DATE : 02/01/2006
'
' INSTALL: Copy to Scripts\Auto directory
'          Edit list of formats below to match those you wish to appear
'
' FIXES: Now handles extensions of length 2-4 (thanks to Bex)
'

Option Explicit 

Dim formats
formats = "('MPG','WMV','AVI')" 	'add as many as you like!

Sub onStartUp

  Dim Tree, Root
  Set Tree = SDB.MainTree
  Set Root = Tree.CreateNode
  
  Root.Caption = "Video"
  Root.IconIndex = 8
  Root.UseScript = Script.ScriptPath
  Root.onFillTracksFunct = "FillVideos"
  
  Tree.AddNode Tree.Node_Library, Root, 1  
  SDB.Objects("Root") = Root
 
End Sub

Sub FillVideos(Node)

  Node.HasChildren = False
  Dim Tracks, Select1, Where1, Query
  Set Tracks = SDB.MainTracksWindow

  Select1 = "Songs.Id FROM Songs , Artists"
  Where1 = "Artists.ID = Songs.IdArtist AND (IIf(Left(Right(songpath,3),1)='.',Right(songpath,2),"& _
                                            "IIf(Left(Right(songpath,4),1)='.',Right(songpath,3),"& _

  Query = "AND Songs.ID IN ( SELECT "&Select1&" WHERE "&Where1&")"

  Tracks.AddTracksFromQuery(Query)
  Tracks.FinishAdding

End Sub

Did you install the VID4wa Video Plug-in from: http://www.mediamonkey.com/input-plugins.htm ?
If not the Video node will show nothing becouse media monkey will not accept video files in the database.

trixmoto · Post by **trixmoto** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 10:45 am

Yes, that is mentioned in the very first post of this thread.

I'm new to MM, and other than Vid4WA, this script is the first thing that I've added.

I do get the 'Video' node, in which only video files appear, but is there any way to make MM *not* show Video files in the Library/Artist, Library/Album, etc. nodes with all of the music?

The Video Node is currently a sub-node of Library, not on the same level as Library and Playlists. Could this be my problem?

Hi,

I can create a Magic Node to mimic the functionality of this extension, no?

Thanks.

trixmoto · Post by **trixmoto** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 5:08 am

Feanor23x - Scripts cannot remove tracks from the library node, only show them in a different node. Moving this script to a different level/position in the tree is easy if you want to, but it will not remove the tracks from the Library nodes.

thebachellor - Yes, you can create a magic node that does the same job.
