Magic Nodes 1.3b (IS OUTDATED SEE NOTE IN FIRST POST)

[Bex]

hiaslmatz,

Did you rename your custom fields?
That could be a problem if they are renamed to something that already exists in MM.

Great suggestion. I'm going to add a few lines to the script which check if any of the custom fields agree with any of the fields.

Nice Idea, sometimes this cause problems

To show my Artists/Albums without the compilation cds i use this one

Code: Select all

Album Artists No Comp.|child of:artist|filter:'Various Artists'\<Album Artist>\<Album|Sort by:max(year)>

But dunno how to create a node that shows only my Various Artists cds ?

I don't have any skill in vbs neither sql

Thx

So, noone knows how to solve that ?

If it was no clear, i tag all my songs with each artist/performer and on the field Album Artist i use the Various Artists when its a compilation or a mix.

Filter is used to tell MNode not to include the songs but what if i want to say that i want only those filtered cds.

Thx again

Try this:

Code: Select all

Album Artists No Comp.|child of:artist|SQL filter:artist<>'Various Artists'\<Album Artist>\<Album|Sort by:max(year)>

Code: Select all

Album Artists Comp.|child of:artist|SQL filter:artist='Various Artists'\<Album Artist>\<Album|Sort by:max(year)>

I didnt get "Filter:" to work but "SQL Filter:" did the trick!

Thx Bex!!

SQL Filter did the trick !!

Sorry for my late reaction (Have been very busy and out of nice music topics the lasst days).

Pablo sent me a modified version of MagicNodes. And really, Pablo, it works without any failure in MM. Bex, you were right. I did rename the custom fields - that seemed to cause the problem, solved now by Pablos modification.

It's great - and MagicNodes is a great tool, helps to sort also "Album Artists".

A very small regret is, that it seems not possible to (automatically) create subnodes for the artists. They all appear in a huge list in the main window when I choose Magic Nodes/Album Artists.

The best would be to have the node Album Artists/Subnodes for each artist/subnode for the albums.
But I think this is greedy ...

Thanks to you, for your immediate kind help.

Can someone show me how to make a Magic Node that is basically a link to a drive on my computer? I'd like it to be in the same tree as the Artist/Album nodes.

Hello,

Similar messages have popped up. But i haven't been able to distill a solution that works for me. So here it goes:

I'm getting an error everytime I start MM:
Error #1002 - Microsoft VBScript compilation error
Syntax error
File: "C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\MagicNodes.1.3.vbs", Line: 1004, Column: 3

i click "OK"

Then:
Error happened during script execution: Syntax error.


I get a MagicNodes item in the tree, but I dont see an option anywhere to create any nodes.

The latest windows scripting host has been installed, as suggested with similar errors. i've got only one magicnodes in the "auto" folder. A suggetion would help.

This post reveals the secrets regarding how to limit Magic Nodes to only retrieve songs from specific drives and/or folders:

You can put a Magic Node almost where you want with the "Child of:X" syntax. Where X can be: magic, artist, library, playlists, location, year, genre, classification, rating. (Default is magic.)

I'm very bad at solving these type of errors but line 1004 seems to handle the entered mask. If you cant delete the mask within MM. Close MM and open up the mediamonkey.ini file (in "My Music" folder) and delete all masks under the section [CustomNodeMasks].

[Klaas]

Bex,

thanks for the suggestion. I forgot to mention, as your suggestion is a common one to this problem, i've already done that. So there is no [CustomNodeMasks] in my Mediamonkey.ini file anymore.

Thanks anyway,

Klaas, did you start getting errors since the first time you installed the script? Or did the script work for a while before the errors started? What version of MM are you using? I don't know what the problem can be but I'll think about it.

[Klaas]

Hey Pablo,

My version is 2.5.3.968 and yes: it has functioned in the beginning. The error started to occur when i used the "browse by art" script. But I've deleted that one since it gave me activeX messages that i wasn't able to get rid of. So i can imagine the "browse by art" bites "magicnodes".

However, i can't think of anything to solve it.
Thanks for the support sofar,

Klaas,

Just to make sure the problem is not there, could you e-mail me your ini file (PM me to get my e-mail, you'll need to register for that), or just post it here?

I will take a look into any compatibility issues with BrowseByArt.

Hey everyone. Does anyone know how to make a Magic Node that shows all the files in a specific folder, including subfolders? Is this possible? Many thanks to anyone who can help.
