@fizzjob

are you using latest beta release?

Yep. I installed it specifically so I could run this.

[nohitter151]

Maybe try the debug version? Thats the one I'm running and it works.

[sasapuksic]

im using regular and it works fine ...

[trixmoto]

@fizzjob - can you please pick the debug mode and email me the logfile?

No need, looking at the log file made me realize my error:

Very few of my tracks have any ratings, so that was throwing the script off. I set the minimum rating down to 0 and it works just fine.

It works fine to show you things that have some rating. For things that have no rating at all, you need to set it to "unknown."

Guess that didn't wind up as the default in the latest version. It seems to be the single most confusing aspect for everybody.

[trixmoto]

I double checked and it really should be the default.

[nohitter151]

I just wanted to add that my Min. avg-rating was set to 3 on install, and Min. rating was set to Unknown.

[trixmoto]

Ah yes, the average one is not set to unknown. Sorry!

[Lona]

Trixmoto, if you were a girl I would kiss you!
Thanks a lot for updating this script and the enqueue script, these scripts are the most important ones I have installed in MediaMonkey.

One question about the auto-album dj script, why did you limit the amount of member slots to 99?

[trixmoto]

If you were a girl, I might let you!

I'm glad you like the script. The only reason I limited the memory was because I was worried about storing a very long string in the ini file and with the time it might take to process the list. You can easily try larger numbers by replacing the maximum value on line 278 of "AutoAlbumDJ3.vbs".

[fizzjob]

Hmm. Suddenly, I'm getting this:

Code: Select all

Error #5 - Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Invalid procedure call or argument: 'Mid'
File: "C:\program files\mediamonkey3\Scripts\AutoAlbumDJ3.vbs", line 605, Column: 8

When I go and try to change the settings, I get this:

Code: Select all

Error executing script event.

Here's the log that gets generated, if it helps:

Looks like something's gone wrong with the memory (list of albums recently selected) - try clearing it out using the button on the settings screen.

Unfortunately, I get that second error message when I try to go to the settings screen - is that data stored in an .ini file somewhere where I can clean it out manually?

[trixmoto]

Yes if you look in the "MediaMonkey.ini" there should be a section called "[AutoAlbumDJ]" with a key called "Memory" (or something similar) which is a list of album IDs. You can just delete this list and then run MM again.
