I agree onkel_enno. Nice feature.

Just installed, and apart from a Line 35 error in MonkeyRok.vbs, it seem to work. Something new to enjoy today. Thanks oldskool73.

BTW, I think that Line 35 thingy can be solved in an easy way with the help of SDB.Objects, in order to carry the info across Subs.

thanks DiddeLeeDoo, not noticed the error myself but will look into it.

Also have a new version just about ready to go with a couple of other bugs fixed, the config panel done (so you can change skins easily), and a new set of 'animated' skins. Watch this space...

i get an error in the script as soon as mediamonkey loads

Line: 102
Char: 9
Error: Object required: outimg
Code: 0
URL: file://C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\MonkeyRok\skins\basic\skin.html

great idea though

tim, my guess is you don't have c:\temp\ folder (this is where the script saves the album art by default)

could you try creating it, or changing the line in \Scripts\MonkeyRok\Functions.vbs to

path = c:\

or a folder that you know exists and see if it works then?

thanks.

Using latest version of MM - I get on Startup, a run time error has been detected:

Line: 101
Error: Object Required: 'outimg'

Just another quick request for an added feature.

In the bottom section eg: 'Albums Featuring Mike Oldfield'
it only shows '1 track 4:05'

If this track could also be highlighted - even though it is not the currently playing. Some compilation albums (Best Of The Eighties etc) have up to two dozen tracks on them and you currently have to search down the list for the right track by time to find the current artist.

I am also getting the Line 35 error like everyone else.

The outimg error I was also getting I fixed as per previous posts.

Ditto the cInt error.

Finally got the activex warning killed 0 thanks Trix.

Otherwise great script - am enjoying it immensely!

very cool... this is coming along really well.

actually I think there is an interaction with the embedded minilyrics plugin... it doesn't display lyrics by default and when you touch it, the witdth is wrong (at least in my system).

Anyone having problems with it as well?

Hi everyone,

thanks for playing with Alpha1 of MonkeyRok, looks like we found a few bugs

I've uploaded a zip of Alpha2 to my blog, would be great if you get a sec to try it out, especially if you were having problems before.

Whats changed...
* working options panel
* working on/off button & menu item
* can now pick temp cache folder in options
* can now pick max albums & tracks shown (prevent slowdown with big library)
* can now pick skins in options
* can now 'alt'+click to queue for future play (adds track or album to end of playlist)
* 'animated' skins (using scriptaculous - due to vb/js conflict 'alt'+click doesn't work with animated skins

)
* special 'wide' skins - just to piss off people with small monitors

* centralised skin code, skinning (with just css) is now cleaner & easier
* implemented teemac's idea to differentiate current artists tracks in track lists (thanks, hope it's what you meant)
* removed all global SDB references, hopefully to clean up some bugs and stop 'object reference' errors on shutdown (...not sure about this though, anyone with a better insight know if this is a good move?)
* fixed a bunch of bugs and probably created a whole load more

Can't wait to hear all the bugs you find....

Just moved the error from line 2 to line 14

since i've got this working i must say, i really love this. one of the best plugins i've tried.

one thing i'd suggest is that you make the distinction between tracks with no rating and tracks with zero rating. i have lots of unrated tracks and lots of interludes and skits (which i rate 0) and it's confusing to see them given the same rating. perhaps just don't display any stars for unrated tracks?

that is nitpicking a bit though, and it really is a very nice plugin.

MoDementia : cool, it's going up then

nah, errr, not to sure about this, I never get it but I know the same error's been discussed in other threads You've got the latest version of MediaMonkey and you've cleared the activeX warnings as described in this thread?

tim : cheers

oh, and for me an unrated tune still shows up as half a star (for some reson?), only a 0 rated tune shows no star. how would you like it to work?

oldskool73 - Thanks for Alpha2 - fixed all the problems I was having. The highlight for additional tracks in compilations is good - but maybe a coloured background (green?) to make it stand out a bit more.

But as you said, Alpha2 has introduced new problems or it might just be me.

The panel itself is working perfectly.

In options - skins - no skins are showing.

I removed all the old dark & Light grey skins etc that were installed by Alpha1 in the skins folder. Should I have done this??

After extracting Alpha2 to scripts - only an auto script was installed (MonkeyRok.vbs) in Auto and another folder MonkeyRok (in scripts folder). In the MonkeyRok folder, it has 2 folders extracted - Scriptalulous and 'skins'. Should this skins folder be here - or should it have been extracted to the normal skins folder under MediaMonkey?

I give up on the activex thing. I tried looking at the thread but after getting so far I decided I didn't really know what I was doing and how vunerable to outside stuff it would leave me open too

If someone can decipher the thread and give clear instructions I'll try again

MoDementia - I used this info by Trixmoto and it worked straight away.

I lost the actual thread - but it was very easy to do and fixed the problem of the warning always popping up. I keep a text list in my MediaMonkey folder of common error messages and their solution for my thick brain.

QUOTE:

"ActiveX warnings: If you have switched "Initialise and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" in your Local Intranet settings in Internet Explorer, and you are still getting the warning messages - try this:

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! "

Hope this helps - it fixed me in 30 seconds flat!
