Monkey Rok 6.1 - Updated 09/03/2013

[DreadM]

Hello trixmoto , since some weeks i see some strange behavior from external panels ,
they just search for first name from artist names , for example Bob Marley just search for Bob and shows not the expected infos.
like you can see on my screenshot below:

I'm not sure if i broke or miss something.
any idea ?

[trixmoto]

I'll have a look tonight and see if I can replicate this.

[trixmoto]

I can't replicate this in version 5.7 - so maybe it's something that's been fixed. Hopefully it will be ready for release soon, I'm just waiting for some more translations to come in.

[trixmoto]

New version (5.7) is now available to download from my website. Changes include...

- Added "New releases" external panel option
- Added "All biographies" external panel option
- Added option to customise the current album title
- Added Russian translation (thanks to Alex Santor)
- Added better handling of file I/O errors
- Fixed panel not opening on startup
- Fixed formatting of song lengths
- Fixed divide-by-zero errors in statistics
- Added option to cache the statistics
- Fixed calculation of image size for popup
- Added albums to "Similar Artists" external panel

Unfortunately the translations for Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Czech and Polish are currently out of date. If you can help update these, or add any new languages to the list, then please let me know.

Hi trixmoto

Nice update ,thanks for that

- Added option to customise the current album title

looks good and works fine.

- Added albums to "Similar Artists" external panel

works also fine ,and looks imho better than before ,
would be nice if the open albums have also same background like select artist above.

German translation have an error at line 299 (invalid character):

Code: Select all

"Verfügbare Felder: "<Name><Interpret><ID><Jahr><Bewertung><Länge><Lieder>"

should be look like this:

Code: Select all

"Verfügbare Felder: <Name><Interpret><ID><Jahr><Bewertung><Länge><Lieder>"

But i have no luck with the External Artist names,
they still search just for the first word from artist name,
when I listen to Bob Marley ,panels just search for Bob!
Doesn't mater witch skin i install, MR or MM.
I made a fresh install of Mr 5.7 also i try 5.5 ,
newest MM version, change languages
but nothing helps !

Any idea ?

can this be a MM or IE problem

I'm wondering if I'm the only one with this problem?

Edit:
after a fresh install from MM it works correct

[trixmoto]

Thank you very much for the feedback. I'm hoping to re-release with all the translations updated, so I'll make sure the german one is fixed at the same time.

My guess was going to be that in the MM options you'd configured space to be the multi-artist separator, although I'm not sure if that's possible. Now you've done a fresh install we'll probably never know, but I'm glad it's sorted

Trixmoto, I appreciate you updating this script. I love MR. Unfortunately, it still won't work for me in MM4.
You can see my original description and discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=53962&start=825#p318618

Anyways, I just installed MR 5.7 and this is what it looks like for me with the classic skin. I'm stumped.

[Dreadlau]

Thank you for the update Trixmoto!

Unfortunately the new releases extra panel does not find anything here.
I tried with many artists.

[trixmoto]

@gpzbc - this must be to do with your internet security settings in IE. It is blocking the scripts access, so you're just getting the empty skin file.

@Dreadlau - can you please enable the debug logfile and send me a copy?

Hi! In Options -> MonkeyRok -> Additional Info, I would like to place a clickable URL, but unfortunately it does not work:

The Custom Field 4 of a song contains an URL, e.g.: http://www.mysong.com

If I write: <b>URL:</b> <Benutzerdefiniert 4>
into the Additional Info field then the URL is displayed correctly:
URL: http://www.mysong.com

However, if I write: <b>URL:</b> <a href="<Benutzerdefiniert 4>" target="_blank" title="GoTo"></a>
into the Additional Info field then the URL is not displayed at all:
URL:

So how can I use a clickable URL in this field?

[trixmoto]

I don't think it's really designed to do this, but I'll try and make it work in the next version.

@Trixmoto:

Here is the debug log: http://www.filedropper.com/monkeyrok

Thanks for the update, Trix.
But I have a problem with More Settings (2).
Have a look below External Panel 3.



Edit: It seems to have come good after a restart.

What's the difference between Biographies and All Biographies?
They both just show my current playing artist Biography.

[trixmoto]

@Dreadlau - do you scrobble your tracks using the Last.Fm plugin? The "New releases" panel uses your Last.Fm username to determine what new releases there are by the artists in your library, but this is your library as far as Last.Fm are concerned, so if you've not scrobbled any tracks then it won't work. For example, here are my results.

@dypsis - I get this sometimes, through out the options panels. It seems to be something to do with the way that MM redraws the options sheets over each other, sometimes you get some bits from the previous sheet showing through. The difference should be that "Biographies" only shows the first artist in the track artist field, whereas "All Biographies" will show all of the artists, from any of the artist fields, even if multiple artists are specified.
