Browse By Art 4.9 [MM2]

@Teknojnky - removing line 622 wouldn't cause this problem. This is because the artist name for one of your tracks contains character(s) which vbscript string concatentation procedures does not like. If you look in your logfile, the last track should have the track Id and Album but not the Artist name written. I suggest you go into your database, find the Id, and retype the Artist name.

@srweal - I have been away for a few days but I am back and working on 2.5 now. Should be ready for release today or tomorrow, depending how much I try to squeeze into this release.

@nipa - your requests will be considered.

@trixmoto:
Hi, MM-Version 2.5.2 is running !!!

Now I have another problem. If I click on the Cover in the Artwork node, the album is not shown in the album node.
But if I select in the options "Play now" and then I click on the cover the album is playing. So the script is running.

How can I fix this problem, because I want to play selected songs and not the whole album.

Greetz,
Ragman

@djragman - you mean you've got "View album" selected as the click action, but you're not getting the album tracks displayed? Which node is selected after you click on the image?

@trixmoto:
Yes with these settings I got only the letter in the artwork node selected.
Nothing happens.

Well the problem must be with the album or artist title then (or rather, how my script handles it). Does this happen with all albums, all albums from one artist, or just for one ablum? If you could tell me the artist and album names, that would be useful, both how they are in the tree and how they are displayed in BrowseByArt.

The display in artwork incl. the filename is o.k.
I tried it with different albums.

The albums are for example:

Freudiana (Alan Parsons Project)
I robot (Alan Parsons Project)

They are shown in the script as Alan Parsons Project and in the next line Freudiana.

Same result, when I take only the Freudiana-Album into the archive.

I love this script and it makes MM much more user friendly.

I have the following dialogue though
SELECT DISTINCT Albums.Album, Albums.ID, Artists.Artist FROM Albums, Artists WHERE Albums.ID >0 AND Albums.IDArtist= Artists.ID AND Artists.Artist LIKE '1&' ORDER BY Artists.Artist ASC

I click OK.

Then...

SELECT DISTINCT Albums.Album, Albums.ID, Artists.Artist FROM Albums, Artists WHERE Albums.ID >0 AND Albums.IDArtist= Artists.ID AND Artists.Artist LIKE '2&' ORDER BY Artists.Artist ASC

I click OK.

Then...

SELECT DISTINCT Albums.Album, Albums.ID, Artists.Artist FROM Albums, Artists WHERE Albums.ID >0 AND Albums.IDArtist= Artists.ID AND Artists.Artist LIKE 'A&' ORDER BY Artists.Artist ASC

27 Times actually! Then it does it's Thang Album Art Sorted with a brouser menu on top, lurvley.

All the way through to Z. Can I stop it, or better still 'Can you?'

If you then select an Album, it goes to the tracks and when back button is pressed, off we go again 27 times then error and loading forever. Have to end application forcefully.

And does anyone know the settings to stop the ActiveX warning. This is being served locally and should be controllable?

@Jaeger
Delete line 622:
If DebugMode = 1 Then MsgBox sql

BTW: Look at page 7 of this post !

@djragman - Well it doesn't look like there's any problem with the characters so I'm a bit stumped. I've rewritten the code which does this in the next release though, so hopefully when you try that (hopefully it'll be released today) your problem will be fixed. If not, let me know and I'll investigate further. Does it work with any albums?

From Page 4:

1) Run regedit.exe
2) Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0
3) Modify key 1201 = 0

This sets your "My Computer" zone setting (which is not displayed in the Internet Options) to Enabled. Works for me!

I tried it with different albums from different artists with the same problem.
I will wait for the next version, try it again and post the results.

Thanks for the great work,
Ragman

Sorry there has beena big delay but I've been trying to implement the toolbar that has been suggested. As much as I like this idea, it's not feasible to control that much from a webpage, or at least I can't work out how to. You'd need to pre-generate all the pages and then just have direct links to them, rather than generating them on the fly like I'm trying to. To pre-generate them all is basically what my Advanced Report does and is not what this script is trying to do, so for now I will take out the toolbar stuff, tidy up the code, and hopefully release later today.
