% Time for Playcount to take effect

Post by paulmt »

Is it possible to change the % of time before the playcount changes?
In MM3 it seems to be the whole track has to be played before a playcount is effected, I liked MM2.5 which was approx 70% of track and would like to change this if possible?
I am going to have a look at the mediamonkey.ini file but maybe someone has already found a way...

No, its not possible. If the track plays 33% and then you manually seek to the end of the file MM will increase the playcount. The developers have hinted this might be changed in the future. (mainly due to user feedback.. I think most users preferred the old system)

Isn't it a higher percentage in MediaMonkey 3. I'm not sure if it was 100% or 50%, but I'm fairly sure it changed from the 1/3 of MediaMonkey 2.

Yes, I'll try to be more clear.

MediaMonkey 2 - The track is counted as played as long as 33% of the track was played.

MediaMonkey 3 - Only counted when the track is played all the way to the end. If you seek to the end of the file (using the seekbar), the play is only counted if 33% of the track has been played.

Is that more clear? There's a topic somewhere with the information but I can't seem to find it.

There is no such script and I doubt it can be scripted. There is also no work on when the developers might implement this as configurable option.

It would be nice but it isn't planned. I believe at this point they're just working out the bugs before the final release.

No news, check the beta forum for release notes of each beta for any added features.
