This script uses the Last.Fm webservices, so the value that is used for the query always needs to be the artist name. Switching to use a PUID field does not use the PUID to do a PUID lookup, it uses the PUID to do an artist lookup, which is why you were getting no results.

Im sorry, but this is not working for me, but i wish it would.

Im always getting - no suggested changes. (when confirmation is enabled)
What Im doing wrong?

My settings are like this:

from the log:

Code: Select all: 23:22:12 OnPlay... 23:22:12 Runmode:tracks 23:22:12 Genre has no list (all values will be accepted) 23:22:12 Auto-translate... 23:22:13 Genre: FAVORITES= ..... ..... ..... 23:22:13 Multiple values... 23:22:13 Artist seed field is PUID (Custom5)... 23:22:13 @http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=track.getTopTags&api_key=6cfe51c9bf7e77d6449e63ac0db2ac24&artist=fe34b912%2D4a28%2D8d84%2D6659%2D133f30683e4a&track=La+Isla+Bonita 23:22:14 (Timeout) 23:22:14 Clearing up... 23:22:14 Seconds:1.23 23:22:14 Queries:1 23:22:14 Sec/Query:1.23 23:22:14 Confirmation...

update:
Changed to Artist from PUID and it is working now

, but why PUID can't do the job? I guess it would be much more accurate?

Thnx,
Roger

Just a fun thing, and one that made me laugh...

If you have "Boombox" by The Lonely Island, put it through GF... Nice little easter egg, I suppose.

A very nice and beautiful thing here.

Try setting the log level a little higher and then checking out the logfile - this should explain.

I've tried using the genrefinder script and can't seem to get any hits in artist mode. The only time I get any results is in Track mode, but the results are all over the place. I've tried it with and without white lists, but it's not working in Artist mode at all. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I've played with several different settings with no joy, but current settings are as follows:
Log Level: 1-Basic
Run Mode: Artist
Confirmation: Never
Use top results: 0
Minimum match: 0
Unknown Playlist: 0
Unknown Action: Nothing
Seed Artist: Artist
Automatically Run: Never
after (seconds): 0

[checked] tag with multiples
[checked] check library before querying
[checked] clear cache before every run
[checked] ignore values which are decades

Update Lists:
Genre: None

I think the script installers get confused at which place their setting files should go when you have more then 1 monkey on board.
If you uninstall MM3 I would expect the scripts would then install ok or install MM4 as portable which keeps all the settings in that folder (nothing in app data)

Is there a link somewhere on the forums that would guide me on how to properly manage multiple installations of MM. Also I do have other scripts that are working fine on both so I'm not sure why these would act any different during the installation. Can I simply copy some of the scripts from my mm3 folder and overwrite what is in my mm4 script folder?

I am I currently running both 4.0.7.1511 and 3.2.5.1306 in different directories with my various scripts installed on both. If I'm unable to see BAT after I install it within my 4.0.x installations. Actually I'm having the same issue in multiple scripts where I can only see them in my 3.2 version. This has been going on for quite some time now so I just use both and depending on what I want to edit I use different version of MM, but I'm finally looking to consolidate into 4.0.

I've ran MM in Admin mode then tried to install the script, I've ran it as a normal user then tried to install etc...

I think there something that I'm missing which is a bit more fundamental... Any help is appreciated.

Here's a listing of scripts which all seem to behave like this, it may help to isolate the issue:
- Genre Finder
- Clear Field
- Batch Art Finder
- Album Art Tagger

Many thanks ahead of time,
Belg

Digging in this thread I have discovered that running MM as administrator, solves the problem...
