All my music Locations are set to Manual with Media Type = Music.
MM is overiding this when it detects files that it thinks are "Classical Music" & changes the Media Type to Classical Music.

I cannot create a new AutoPlaylist unless i have Info Panel turned on. This seems an unnecessary dependency. When i select new Autoplaylist it should automatically display the filter to create the list.

It would be an exellent feature if the 'Playing' display could be cast to Chromecast. The ability to cycle artist images & animate the background would provide a much more interesting display on a large TV screen than the current static album cover & album info.

Hi Ludek Re collections search: To search a collection just focus the media tree node collection (e.g. Audiobooks) and type a search When i do as you suggest for my 'Classical Library' and i enter 'beeth' into search it brings up 'Roll Over Beethoven' by Chuck Berry which is certainly not in my 'Cla...

The schedule for all my drives is set to Manual. At startup MM always monitors one of these drives.

@Barry I was using the 'Show all Nodes" extension. Personally i get the impression that the MM team would prefer to not have a Media Tree, so i don't expect to see any improvement in it. Pity because it is a very useful tool. BTW do you know how to search within a Collection. I select my Classical m...

Thanks Barry for that detailed analysis. What i want at the Tree nodes is a simple alphabetical search on the first name. This allows me to quickly navigate in the media tree. At the moment if i type 'bob' because i'm looking for Bob Dylan, I get the result "Big Bob" Dougherty & His Band. If i Ctrl ...

Thanks Peke but that is not the behaviour i am getting.
I tried "queen" as you suggest but i got a random response which didn't even have 'queen" in the text. & after that the system froze,

Why do i get different results when i search in the media tree as opposed to the search bar on the top right of the main screen? eg, If i search for 'bob" in the media tree say for Artist I get the first occurrence of 'bob' in an artist name. Whereas in the top right search bar it brings up all name...

Right click in Comments brings up Inspect Element - Open DevTools in Chrome instead of the context menu to allow copy, paste etc.

This add-on provided MM4 with a powerful editing tool for finding and replacing metadata about media files. Such a utility is not available in any other Media manager software that i am aware of. It is unfortunate that addons like this cannot easily be ported to MM5 & i think it is a big ask to expe...

Hi Barry Thank you for taking the time to respond & it would be good if some others chimed in. The various options you describe are fine & in fact i will use them from time to time, however, for me a structured media tree is still the simplest & fastest way to find the musical data i need for editin...

So it is "easy" if you understand Javascript. Unfortunately I don't. "One of the first questions people ask about learning a coding language is how long it takes. While JavaScript is a step up from the most fundamental web development skills (languages like HTML and CSS, which can be learned in unde...

@Peke
I've not modified an mmip script before. Could you give me an example of how to do it, say for the tree structure below -

+ Genre
--- + Album Artist – Album
------ Track No - Title

Thanks
David

Happy to be proved wrong, so here are some examples of what i'm missing. I can easily create these tree structures in Foobar & MusicBee but not in MM. + Genre --- +Album Artist ------- +Album -----------Track No - Title or + Genre --- + Album Artist – Album ------ Track No - Title or + Composer --- ...
