Thanks, I'm glad you've found my scripts useful. I'll take a look at including this modification in the next version

Hi, great plug in but is it possible to listen to the preview trough a different sound-card without stopping the play-now list??

thanks a lot for your work
best regards
Vasco

This is something that could be available in the future MM versions.

How can I access the preview function in MM?
I found no additional menu entry or something else

[Lurker]

Menu (if hidden) > Play > Song Previewer (Ctrl+Alt+S)

or

Tools > Scripts > Previewer

One of them is this script, the other is Mediamonkey built in. I think the former is Trixmoto

[Andreas Weichert]

In script menu I find it and it works very good.

In the PlayMenu (in the Mainmenu) I found nothing more.
I use Windows 8-64 MM 4.0.7.

Best place would be in the contextmenu under "playing at last".

I will investigate some work to learn the scripting interface to make some custom enhancements.
The scripting is really a great feature of MM

I looked in the "Preview-Auto.vbs":
There are the values ShowToolbar and ShowContext defined.
When I changed it to TRUE it makes what I want. Genious!

I will learn more about scripting.

Awesome, thanks for sharing this! I'm going to try it out myself.

[Andreas Weichert]

Here an other little improvement:
Ich changed the position of the menu entries to show it directly under the "Play as last" entry
- for me the natural position.

Code: Select all

  If ShowToolbar Then
    Dim but : Set but = SDB.UI.AddMenuItem(SDB.UI.Menu_TbStandard,0,0)   ' numbers changed
...............
  End If
  If ShowContext Then
    Dim itm1 : Set itm1 = SDB.UI.AddMenuItem(SDB.UI.Menu_Pop_NP,1,0)  ' numbers changed
............................

Thanks!!

New version (2.9) is now available to download from my website. I have added ability to move progress bar during preview, thanks to Nanya.

I too had a problem with the Now Playing List being 'wiped out' with only the preview track showing in Now Playing. When I used undo to put the tracks back, the preview track was also at the bottom of that list. Then I realised that I have Now Playing set to retain zero tracks and when I then switched to retain all, previewer worked normally. I guess the script would need something adding to temporarily override the Now Playing setting(if set to retain zero) when in use.

Thanks for a really useful plugin.

[trixmoto]

Thanks. That's an interesting idea, I could also increase the setting by one before adding a track and then decrease again afterwards to ensure there's always room for it without messing up the rest of the list. I'll add it to my list.

pls take care of play and skip count!
