Export M3Us/Playlists for Child Nodes 3.6 (2012-01-09)[MM2+]

[ramble-bumble]

Most probably I translated wrong, taking "send" instead of "export"...
Okay, I will certainly try to repair Windows Script, I hope that I will find a solution
amongst the links you have provided, which hopefully is understandable
And I hope, too, that I will have time for that soon
I will keep you informed, but for the time being: MANY THANKS!

I tried ANSI/URL - nope, LMS can't read it.

Yes, Logitech seems to have a bug regarding utf-8 format playlists. I will report it, but I think their software has worked this way for a long time.

Good point about testing under Linux. One of the things on my TODO list is to move my music server to Linux, so I will be able to test this in the next few months.

Well I also wrote URL out for a file which had a # in the path name (like your #9 above) and it was incorrectly output by the script. The # should be encoded as %23 but is not. Maybe that's your issue - I discovered it and manually edited the M3U file to change the unencoded # to %23 and then it worked.

I am sorry that I missed to give a feedback on my trial: After having repaired Windows Script, I was sucessfull in installing your tool... and it worked perfect, it does exactely what I needed, so finally all my playlists on the Cowon J3 have the correct format and their contents is recognized.
Many, many thanks!!!

Large fonts problem

With DPI font scaling set to 150% this is how fonts are scrambled...

I can't build a regular expression properly to export m3u:

I need to replace the following paths:

Code: Select all

e:\music\library\portable\default
e:\music\library\portable\new


to

Code: Select all

\music

What regexp should I use?

I need to replace the following paths:

Code: Select all

e:\music\library\portable\default
e:\music\library\portable\new


Code: Select all

e:\\music\\library\\portable\\(default|new)\\

or more generally:

Code: Select all

e:\\music\\library\\portable\\[^\\]+\\

to

Code: Select all

\music

Code: Select all

\music\

[Blutarsky]

YES!!!

Thanks!

BTW: What engine is using the script? Perl-like? Or?

What engine is using the script? Perl-like? Or?

VBScript

[Blutarsky]

Regexp rules will be different?

[ZvezdanD]

Regexp rules will be different?

Mostly not, except some rarely used things like Lookbehind. Here you could see the differences in VBScript’s RegEx engine:
http://www.regular-expressions.info/vbscript.html

There are some on-line RegEx testers where you could specify which engine you want to use, for example:

I have been using this script MM version 3.x, because at that time MM couldn't sync playlists arranging relative paths. As for MM version 4.x is this still true?

[Lowlander]

This script works independent of MediaMonkey's script exports and contains many settings including relative Paths to define how it should export your Playlists.

[Blutarsky]

That's how I'm currently using it.

However in version MM v4 I see some (for me) new sync options,such as:
- force relative paths
- use extended M3u

Two options unavailable in MM 3.x; reason why I moved to to script.....

In my case (relative paths and extended paths) could be enough to stop using the script.... I should try a sync and see what happens

[Lowlander]

Then you probably were using an old version of the Addon.

[Blutarsky]

I mean I was using the addon because MM was missing those two options (build relative paths and extended M3U)
