mm3 Monkey,
--- I had previously uninstalled mmStations before installing Stations v1.0 but now that I've reinstalled mmStations (this time v2.6), I notice that all my settings and playlist assignations are still there. I don't mind at all; just wondered if you knew. BTW, I happen to know that Nyn wants to keep it like that or have an option to do so
Yes, intentionally left them there. Like most software packages, unistalling them usually doesn't cause data/files that you created to be also deleted. If you upgrade/unistall MS Word, you wouldn't expect all your documents to be deleted! Sort of along the same philosophy. I could consider prompting to delete all station data upon uninstall.
--- Stations v1.0.mmip is 10KB but Stations v1.1.mmip is 6KB. Just curious. Couldn't care less!!
Most likely just function of the compression algorithm of zip. An .mmip file is a .zip file renamed for MM.
The version number of Stations has not been updated in the vbs script itself. So, for instance, it still says V 1.0 in the titlebar.
Fixed in next version.
Your first post needs updating right at the start. I think you'll see what I mean. It's nothing; forget it!
Fixed.
It would be better if the mmip files included the version number in the filename
I checked several installation packages from the major scripters and there is no standard. I agree having the version as part of the mmip file name is a good thing. It's just as easy to do it as to not do it so the next version will have it.
Nyn,
I noticed something weird with Stations. Whatever the last station which was added it will always add to the Now Playing list and start the tracks playing. I have my options set to autostart and add tracks. Is there a way to turn this off?
What it should be doing, upon a new MM session, is setting the station/playlist to the last one that was selected/playing from the previous session - and then start playing it. Maybe I misinterpreted a previous request:
Is there anyway to setup mmStations to resume the state it was in when MM was closed??
Tell me more.
Rogerr,
Any chance you can enhance to be able to add MegaDJ playlists?
Haven't forgotten about this one. I put a request in the wishlist forum for an architectural change to accomodate this and/or suggestion for a solution. The issue is, if you're interested, the MM API (application programmers interface) provides a GetPlayListbyTitle("title") function which as it suggests, you, the script, provides the function the title of a playlist and it returns the playlist datastructure which includes things like the list of all tracks in that playlist and other data a script could use. There's no such function for other nodes in the MM tree. At least I'm not aware of any way to do it, yet. I think this would be cool to have. Not only MegaDJ but for any node such as an individual artist, or album, or a magicnode, etc. I would assign a button to a couple of my favorite artists directly on the artist tree rather than make a playlist just for that artist.
