[quote="Leibovich"]Guys, i need a little help. I need a script that randomize a playlist or library by genre , but i need something that i can define how many tracks per genre will plya consecutive before it change genre... Sorry my english sucks.

For example:
1000 Metal songs
200 pop songs
50 dance songs...

I need a script to create on-the-fly a playlist with 10 metal , then 5 pop songs and 2 dance for example... and maybe randomize the next "circle" with 5 pops, 10 metal and 2 dance or other order ... c?[/quote]
You should use auto playlists make them for genere you want, and number of sons you want then use pekes windows scheduler script to tell task scheduler to play scripts by way of running the script of pekes, his script allows you to add multiple lists in to it, for it to play, so it will finish one list the go to next list, and should repeat all day, you dont need to have scheduler start peke's script you can double click it to run it,

I suggest making your autolist pick songs that havent played in so many days and only pick the number or time lenght you want,
that will achive what you ask.

In current version of MM the DoChildren sub locks up MM on startup. Commenting out the call in RegisterAutoEvents fixes the script for me.

[quote="tucky"]I've just had an issue in MM4 when trying to randomise a large playlist.[/quote]
Can you give me any indication of the size that is causing you a problem?

Hmmm, not sure there's anything that I can do about that! :-?

I've done some more testing around this by creating a new playlist which had 37 files and was 2 hrs 18 minutes long

I get - Error #214748113 - SongsDB.SDBPlaylist
Thread creation error: Not enough storage is available to process this command
File: "C:\Programe Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\RandomisePlaylist.vbs", Line 134, Column: 4

Following the error it reduces the playlist to 17 files - 1hr and 3 minutes in length

Hope this is of help!

Don't worry about it. I should have backed up my playlists before testing MM4! :)

It's a manual playlist, I can't remember exactly how long but I suspect over 10 hours.

Sorry about this, I'll be testing all of my scripts for MM4 compatibility soon. Is it an auto-playlist or a manual one? If it's an auto-playlist, what sort of criteria are you using?

I've just had an issue in MM4 when trying to randomise a large playlist. It came up with an error about not enough space (sorry I didn't think straight away to take a screenshot) and then reduced the size of the playlist significantly to just over an hour.

The script works fine on this reduced playlist but for some reason couldn't handle the larger one in the way MM3 could.

Unrelated from the script is there a way to retrieve a playlist from my old MM3 library?

New version (1.3) is now available to download from my website. I have fixed the playlist node being fully expanded on startup.

Thanks Lowlander, you beat me to it.

Looking forward to the next version.

Ok, I'll see if I can fix this in the next version.

Version 1.2 seems to force the Playlist node to open expanded when MediaMonkey is started, as reported here: http://mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52257

New version (1.2) is now available to download from my website. I have fixed playlists with the same name cause problems.

Thanks, I'm glad that worked for you. :)
