Did you use the installer?
-If not, you'll have to use it to install everything needed for the script.
-If yes...

Are vbs files still associated to Windows Scripting Host?
-If not, you'll have to reassociate them manually, or reinstall Windows Scripting Engine 5.1
-If yes...

Have you deleted/moved any files from the script?
-If yes, put them back, or reinstall the script
-If not, then call support

Hey urlwolf. Sorry for the long wait.
Support says: try the new version

New Version: http://home.scarlet.be/ruben.castelein/ ... e[code]ADD Set custom file icons for different MM music file types
ADD Auto-randomize Now Playing on startup
IMP Removed small piece of double code
ADD Tree nodes "search", "net radio" and "web"

XTODO: With combination of "Randomize playlist..." and "Fast NowPlaying loading", allow resuming the correct previous track (is now just randomized)
XTODO: Add extra code comments[/code]

To edit/update the script, you obviously first install it and then you can change the sources. To create an installer with a new version, you need the iss file: http://home.scarlet.be/ruben.castelein/ ... Monkey.iss (and InnoSetup and the program ISTool).

I didn't thoroughly test this version, but it should be ok (except for the Access Violations that are still there on MM2.5).

@Teknojnky: could you check that all your changes are implemented here? (because I resumed on older version that already had icon support, after you released an update) Normally everything should be there (except one double code thing I removed around line 110).

hey steegy?

what is all this about icons and tweak monkey ? i must have missed something?

Steegy · Post by **Steegy** » Mon Apr 02, 2007 9:06 am

Well, you can now assign custom icons for most MM music file types (as requested many times). I'd say: try it once and you'll see.
For the script to do its job, MM mustn't re-associate these file types itself when it starts (I probably forgot to mention/test this in the script).

Updated first post.

This is my modified shutdown and startup subs (of version 1.0):

Code: Select all

Sub SDB_OnShutDown

    SetINIString "PlaybackPosition", SDB.Player.PlayBackTime
    SetINIString "PlaybackState", SDB.Player.IsPlaying & "-" & SDB.Player.IsPaused

    If GetINIBool("UseFastNPLoading", False) Then
          If SDB.PlaylistByTitle("NPSaved").Id <> 0 Then 'if old NPSaved exists then delete it'
              SDB.PlaylistByTitle("NPSaved").Delete
          End If
        SetINIString "NPCurrentSong", SDB.Player.CurrentSongIndex
        Dim RootPlaylist : Set RootPlaylist = SDB.PlaylistByTitle("")
        If SDB.PlaylistByTitle("NPSaved").Id <> 0 Then SDB.PlaylistByTitle("NPSaved").Delete
        Dim NPSaved : Set NPSaved = RootPlaylist.CreateChildPlaylist("NPSaved")
        NPSaved.Clear
    
        Dim CSL : Set CSL = SDB.Player.CurrentSongList
        Dim i
        For i = 0 To CSL.Count - 1
            NPSaved.AddTrack(CSL.Item(i))
        Next
    
        SDB.Player.PlaylistClear
    End If

Code: Select all

    If GetINIBool("UseFastNPLoading", False) Then
          If SDB.PlaylistByTitle("NPSaved").Id <> 0 Then 'check first to see that NPSaved exists'
            SDB.Player.PlaylistClear    ' To make sure that the playlist is really empty
            SDB.Player.PlaylistAddTracks(SDB.PlaylistByTitle("NPSaved").Tracks)
            
            SDB.Player.CurrentSongIndex = CLng(GetINIString("NPCurrentSong", "0"))
            SDB.ProcessMessages
          End If
          
        ' First check that the NPSaved node really exists. (If it doesn't exist, the root node would be returned, and deleted!)
        ' commented this out, to leave the NPSaved playlist intact then delete when MM shuts down properly'
'          If SDB.PlaylistByTitle("NPSaved").Id <> 0 Then SDB.PlaylistByTitle("NPSaved").Delete
    Else
        ' Auto-Play/Resume/Shuffle/Repeat/Randomize/LoadPlaylist --------- 
        If GetINIBool("LoadPlaylist", False) Then
            Dim PlaylistName : PlaylistName = GetINIString("Playlist", "")
            If PlaylistName <> "" Then
                If DoesPlaylistExist(PlaylistName) Then
                    SDB.Player.PlaylistClear
                    SDB.Player.PlaylistAddTracks(SDB.PlaylistByTitle(PlaylistName).Tracks)
                End If
            End If      
        End If 
    End If

The object was to preserve existing functionality should MM crash or be shutdown improperly (restore previously now playing, instead of having a blank now playing).

I haven't yet checked out your new version, but the above was the only changes I did to the previous version.

oh i did not realize you were making a shortcut to doing that.

i just do it the old way and keep fighting with microsoft after they change them back when i do the updates.

right now all my music format files have the same monkey icon.

Ever since I've installed Tweakmonkey whenever I start up Mediamonkey the "Net Radio" node shows up even though I have it checked to be off in the options. If I go to Tools --> Options, and just click Ok without changing anything, the Net Radio disappears. Its not a big deal, but annoying nonetheless. Happening to anyone else? Any way to fix?

Bex · Post by **Bex** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 4:02 pm

That node can be turned of under Appearance->Tree. (MM original functionality.)

Btw, you seem to use the old version of the script. Upgrade to the latest.

Teknojnky · Post by **Teknojnky** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 4:05 pm

The latest is where it happens, I suspect that it has something to do with an array index being incorrect incremented but I havent looked.

Steegy · Post by **Steegy** » Tue Apr 10, 2007 4:12 pm

Thanks for mentioning this.

Around line 205 in TweakMonkey.vbs, replace

Code: Select all

        NodeRef(NodeName).Visible = GetTreeVisibility(NodeName)

with

Code: Select all

        If CanNodeVisibility(NodeName) Then
            NodeRef(NodeName).Visible = GetTreeVisibility(NodeName)
        End If

It should be fixed in the next version.

Explanation: a check was missing here to verify if the TweakMonkey script can change a node's visibility or not (Net Radio and Web nodes).

Aha, It was me who didn't have the latest version!

Thanks! Problem solved

I recently had to reinstall this script as I accidentally deleted it's VBS instead of the VBS of another script. I have since ran into a rather annoying problem. The Net Radio node will simply not go away while this script is running. I close MM and rename the VBS so it won't affect MM, restart MM back up and the node is non-existent, but the moment I once again make the script file a VBS and run MM, it reappears.

I have tried uninstalling the script, even making sure to delete it's entry in MediaMonkey's INI (Not the Scripts INI, MediaMonkey's) and to my surprise, when reinstalling the script, it still came up with my old settings for hidden/visible nodes aswell as the Net Radio once again reappeared.

Any thoughts on the problem?
