Script to fix dumb Zen MX playlist format

[PawWriter]

Hi there,
Question: how do you run a Scriptconfiguration? Sorry for the ignorance. Prior to Media Monkey, I never really messed with Java at all.

Next question: how would I put in a sample pl?

Well, sorry maybe I did presume too much

First of all you don't have to mess with Java! JavaScript has nothing to do with Java, its a Scripting language more like VisualBasic for Applications (VBA) for C-Programmers.

In the script there is a configuration block. You answer shows me, that you didn't mess with the configuaration, so everything should be set to default.

Are you sure you're running the right script? Where did you place the new script version? Did you copy it under C:\<PROGDIR>\MediaMonkey4\Scripts ? Correct name: FixZenMXPlaylist.js
I think there something wrong with your infrastructure!

Hi there!

The script I am running is the one I copied and pasted from the previous page of this thread in a file titled "FixZenMXPlaylist.js" in the scripts folder of my Media Monkey install.

I also have the following entry appended on the "Scripts.ini" file of the install:
[FixZenMXPlaylist]
FileName=FixZenMXPlaylist.js
ProcName=FixZenMXPlaylist
Order=1
DisplayName=Fix dumb ZEN MX playlist
;DisplayName=Korrektur von ZEN MX Playlisten
Description=Fix dumb ZEN MX playlist
;Description=Korrektur von ZEN MX Playlisten
Language=JScript
ScriptType=0

Thanks for the help!

Looks good! Maybe we should continue our communication via PM to speed up the solution process. You find my eMail in the sourcecode.
I'm still not quite sure about your problem

Hi stoffel!


I cant get your script working on my zen style 100 Ive spent hours trying to remove the error msg, but I guess I need a pro.

This is the msg I keep getting, similar to pawriter:

error #53 - Microsoft jscript runtime error
file not found
File: 'C:\programefiles\mediamonkey\scripts\fixzenmxplaylist.js, line:139, Column 0

I have settled all your requirements, created the script, pasted it, changed the ini file, and changed the script from zenMX to zenstyle100.

Please help,


Thanks!

Well, sorry I haven't been into Zen playlist business lately. What version of MM are you using?
It seems that:

line 290:
sn = getShortPath(OutDrive + l, true);

has a problem. Can you add a

messageBox(OutDrive + l, mtError, new Array(mbOk.toString()));

before the line 290, start again an report the output. Is it a valid Path? Maybe you should change the option "Force relative path" under External Device - Playlist to OFF

Please send the response of the output to stefan.skopnik@osnanet.de, because I do no look into this forum frequently!

Here is another, probably last update of my script. It provides some more elaborate error handling in case of missing track files.
Tested with newest MM 4.0.7 under W7

Enjoy

Code: Select all

// Fix stupid ZEN MX Bug: Playlists must define their tracknames in 8.3 DOS style
// Convert every playlist '<name>.m3u' found in /playlist to '@ <name>.m3u' changing tracknames to 8.3 DOS style.
// By default original files are not changed
//
// (c) Stefan Skopnik (sskopnik(at)web(dot)de)
//
// 01.01.2010 fixes for W7, don't generate if newpl exists and is newer than orgpl, changed NewPlName
// 14.01.2010 scan for drive modified, test for dir exist, more detailed messages, change naming schema again to: '@ <name>.m3u'
// 08.09.2011 fixes for Zen Style 100 and MM4 (now works with MM3 and MM4)
// 12.09.2011 New Configsystem. New flags DeleteOrgPl and ReplaceOrgPl.
//            Now you can decide if you want to:
//            - delete the original pl-file after conversion (DeleteOrgPl=true) leaving only the converted @pl-file
//            - replace the old pl-file with the converted version (ReplaceOrgPl=true) preserving the original name.
//              (This may be the default in the future, Here only converted files are taken into account)
// 24.12.2012 More intelligent error handling in case of missing files
/*

Installation:
-------------
0.) IMPORTANT: Configure your ZEN device in MM : Under Playlist / Options: *Don't* use
    UTF8 Unicode Coding for .m3u playlists 

1.) Copy this file to <MediaMonkeyInstallDir>\Scripts\FixZenMXPlaylist.js
    (Windows7: This dir is write protected, you have to change this!)

2.) Append to file <MediaMonkeyInstallDir>\Scripts\scripts.ini:
< --- COPY AFTER THIS LINE --->
[FixZenMXPlaylist]
FileName=FixZenMXPlaylist.js
ProcName=FixZenMXPlaylist
Order=1
DisplayName=Fix dumb ZEN MX playlist
;DisplayName=Korrektur von ZEN MX Playlisten

Description=Fixes ZEN MX playlist by converting filepath into 8.3 DOS format
;Description=Korrektur von ZEN MX Playlisten durch konvertieren der Dateinamen/pfade in das 8.3 DOS Format
Language=JScript
ScriptType=0
<--- COPY BEFORE THIS LINE --->

3.) (Re)start MM

4.) Plugin Zen MX and create PLs in MediaMonkey

5.) Send PL to 'My ZEN'

6.) Run this Script from Extras / Scripts / Fix dumb ZEN MX playlist

7.) Unplug ZEN MX

8.) Enjoy your MM PL on ZEN MX. You find them under '@ <ORGNAME>.m3u


Configuration:
-------------

This script should work 'out of the box' with Zen MX Player using english language.
If you like you can configure the script in some aspects. See 'Config' for options
