@fizzjob - RedX is correct, all the layout is controlled by the skin.html file in the folder of the skin you are using.

Thanks - I was, indeed, looking in the wrong place.

Anyone else who is thinking of translating MonkeyRok, please can you wait until the release of version 2.2 as I've redone the system so that now the strings are stored in separate files which are dynamically loaded into the script, meaning adding them will be much easier!

RedX,
Brazilian Portuguese it's already included in 2.2. So you'll have only to adapt it to European Portuguese

trixmoto,
I know you've been busy with all the localization stuff, but I will raise another subject.

The MonkeyRok's Album Art window doesn't work exactly the same way as the MediaMonkey's does:
- when you drag window's border to resize it, there's some flickering as the picture is redrawn. In MM's Album Art window this flickering doesn't exist;
- (small issue) In MM's window, the image is centered both horizontally and vertically. In MonkeyRok's, it is horizontally centered, but vertically it is aligned to top. This is noticeable while resizing the window.
- the resize algorithm used in MonkeyRok is not as good as the one used by MM. Compare the images below. The first is MediaMonkey, the second is MonkeyRok. Original cover size is 500x500px. Both windows were resized to about 750x750px a then the screenshot was taken.

That's it.

Cheers

Well the first and third points I'm not sure I have that much control over. The difference is that MM can control their window by painting the image itself, all MR does is ask IE to display it. I couldn't get IE to center the image vertically properly, it completely messed up the resizing, that's why it's aligned to the top. I'll see what I can do to improve it, but I can't promise anything.

Hi there!
For last version 2.1, I noticed 2 things, when you put them in Extra Info:

<Bitrate> field do not displays.

<Length> should be displayed using FormattedTime() function, otherwise it only show the length in seconds.

Everything else seems fine for me, except some AlbumArt showing as [X] (missing images) in the Albums_By panel but not in the main panel at the top. I quite not understand why, there's art embedded in the tags and also a folder.jpg files in the folders.

Thanks

OK. Forget the [X] images, seems to work now with these options (after rebooting):

Maybe it's an intermittent problem, related to something else...
More to explore.

Cheer

Sorry to be tedious, this one is less important but anyway.

I have about 20 albums consisting of Top-100 songs for each year.

I edit monkeyrok.vbs and modified "MonkeyRok_TrackMax" edt.MaxValue = 100 (was set to 99), set it to 100 in the options, restart MM and it still shows only 99 tracks.

Hmmm

Any idea?

Thanks much

I'll take a look at <Bitrate> and <Length>. Is this only the case when running in French or is it also in English?

Modifying this script should allow you to set the value higher. I've modified the script to allow higher values so hopefully this will not be a problem in the next release. Once you've allow this higher value, have you actually set it higher and then it settings itself back again?

Eyal · Post by **Eyal** » Sun May 13, 2007 7:13 am

No, <Bitrate> and <Length> is not a matter of language.

Yes, by setting the value higher, it displays that there is 100 tracks, but lists only 99.

Thanks

Again, about the [X] images in Albums-By pannel, I found the real reason:

It's when you select [All] in the Artwork Mode option.
