A-B Looper with MM 4.1.4.1709

by rhartwig » Mon Aug 25, 2014 4:10 pm

Hi,

maybe I am to dumb but how do I get the A-B Looper 2.0 script going?

I installed it and read the (old) forum topics. I restarted MM but I get no extra window with A-B controls (not even in the background).

Question: Is there a special key I have to press to start the script or something else I missed?

Thanks in advance
R

Ok. Problem seems specific to the mp3pro input plugin. Using the MM3 mp3 input plugin works fine.

Also tested with wma, m4a and flac without observed problems.

Still trying to get reliable looping.

Found minor error in script. Test for less than 1 second loop should be

Code: Select all

 If c < 1000 Then 
Added new button to test seeking to A outside of loop.

Code: Select all

  Dim Btn0 : Set Btn0 = SDB.UI.NewButton(Form)
  Btn0.Caption = "A"
  Btn0.Common.Height = bheight
  Btn0.Common.Width = bwidth
  Btn0.Common.Top = Btn3.Common.Top
  Btn0.Common.Left = Btn1.Common.Left - Btn0.Common.Width -10
  Btn0.UseScript = Script.ScriptPath
  Btn0.OnClickFunc = "seekA"

Code: Select all

Sub seekA (BtnBA)
  Dim BtnA : Set BtnA = BtnBA.Common.TopParent.Common.ChildControl("BtnA")
  Dim a : a = Mid(BtnA.Caption,3,Len(BtnA.Caption)-2)
  SDB.Player.PlaybackTime = CLng(a)
End Sub
Works fine. Think I will also add a "-1s" button. I tend to just miss the point I want to set the A/B marker. :o

Tried turning off all smooth options in the output plugin. No impact, except functions were now really clunky. Turned smooth back on.

Will test with other plugins / media formats (wma, aac, ...).

Trixmoto:

Thanks for the script.

Minor problem. I normally use Options->Skins->Font Size:Extra Large in MM3 and the default dialog box is too small to contain the text.

Minor as the form is re-sizable and it is easy enough to adjust the default rectangle size in the script. Would be more elegant to check the font settings but I can't see how to do that.

---------
Later.
Ummm. Some other problems with the script. Sometimes the loop has no audio. Printing off the script now to take a good look at it. Also the re-sizable attribute does not work. Switched to fontsize=large for testing.

-----

Code: Select all

Form.Common.SetRect 100, 100, (2*midp)+20, 170
Makes everything visible at Extra Large. Still not sure why "Form.Borderstyle = 3" does not work.

Still seeing intermittent problems with audio in loops. May work for 0 to a few loops then the audio either breaks up or dissapears. The mini freq response in the player stays active. No problems seen so far using the +/- 5/30sec buttons (which are very handy). Might be output plugin (mp3pro.dll) or it's settings specific. Need to do more testing.

New version (2.0) is now available to download from my website. I have made it compatible with MM3 and combined the two script files into a single one. :)

It's just a very long text file! No pay for me, just a few very kind donations which help to pay for my website. :)

Trix has not updated this for MM3, a list of his scripts that are compatible for MM3 is here.

New version (1.1) allows you to use the player skip buttons to move onto the next track, keeping the same loop. Use the player's stop button to break out of the loop.

ABLooper.vbs

Code: Select all

Update above
ABLooper2.vbs

Code: Select all

No longer necessary
N.B. Pausing is fine - this will not break out of the loop.
