MonkeyRok Alpha 02

Another idea on the album art would be to share the album art from the BrowseByArt script. That way both scripts could benefit from the other caching cover art.

[Lowlander]

I used the export album script from WebMonkey as it creates the same album art as this script.

A central (local to the MediaMonkey install cache of images would be great. This does put limitations on scripts as the size is the limiting factor (in html all images should be shown at full size for best quality). But when the same size is used it would work well. Especially for those who have music on network locations that they are not always connected to.

I really like this script, but haven't seen any news on it for a while. Oldskool73, are you still developing it? Or has it dropped off the wagon?

[oldskool73]

Hey Nebbin & everyone else, real sorry for the lack of updates!

I've been in the middle of a 'real life' contract that's taken up much more time than originaly planned and at the same time discovered Ubuntu, so not really launched MM or even Windows in about 2 months.

To be honest I can't really say when I'll get another chance to play with or upgrade the script (if ever), so if anyone wants to grab the code and run with it or integrate it with something else be my guest.

Thanks for your fantasticulous script.
But it's my turn for showing you a script error


Any clue?

[Nebbin]

*sigh* ... and Ubuntu snaffles another one...

Thanks for all you've done. I use the script constantly. If I was more able, I'd take up your offer and continue your good work, but alas, reality has a way of inserting itself into my dreams.

Hey this is neat.. Actually i was working on similar lines. this one is inspired by Helium and is xml based.

Hey

This script rocks, I have a question though. I dont rate any of my mp3s, so is there a way for me to remove the favorite tracks display?

Im guessing there is part of the script that could be removed, but I know nothing about scripting or coding so I wouldnt know what to take out!

Can anyone help?

This is puzzling as I had MonkeyRok alpha 2 installed a while ago but I am now trying to re-install it and am having problems.
The MonkeyRok script can't find skin.html
This was a clean install as I had completely deleted the previous installation. Mediamonkey is in the default location on C: drive

I have the MonkeyRok folder and all the sub folders in mediamonkey\scripts and the monkeyrok.vbs in the auto folder.

below are the errors I get on startup of mediamonkey.
I end up with a docked panel with "MonkeyRok Alpha" on it but nothing else, just the blank white panel.

I don't get this at all, any idea's anyone

Error 1


Error 2

Check if the file skin.html does exist in that location. If not something installed wrong, try reinstalling it again.

Thanks for your fantasticulous script.

I have the exact same problem and it seems to happen on albums with some files rated...

Any ideas what might cause this??

[paulmt]

@ Gorki
This is not the same problem I am having. You are running the animated skin which can only be set by the user after MonkeyRok has started. I think your problem is related to ratings.
I read further back in this thread that half ratings e.g. 1.5 stars or 3.5 stars etc. are not supported.
I thought this was fixed in Alpha 2 - what version do you have?

@ Lowlander
I had checked and re-installed both by extraction and by manually "placing" files. The Skin.html does exist.

Does this line assume that MonkeyRok files are in c:\program files\mediamonkey\scripts\MonkeyRok

path = Left(Script.ScriptPath,i)&"..\MonkeyRok\skins\"& SDB.IniFile.StringValue("MonkeyRok","Skin")&"\skin.html"

The line that is referred to in the error is (Line 78 Col. 1) ...

np_Browser.Interf.Navigate path

[Lowlander]

I don't know the code, but that is what that line says.

The "& SDB.IniFile.StringValue("MonkeyRok","Skin")&" part refers to the specific skin folder which seems to not be set in your case.

Go to the MediaMonkey.ini file in the My Music/MediaMonkey folder and locate this part:

Code: Select all

[MonkeyRok]
OnIconIndex=76
OffIconIndex=77
TempDir=c:\temp\
Skin=animated_blue
TrackMax=2
AlbumMax=40
Enabled=1
Inited=1
Debug=0

First of all you should have it, if you don't shut down MediaMonkey, make sure it's unloaded (task manager) and install the script. If you do have it make sure that the Skin is set to an existing skin.

Hey thanks Lowlander.
I looked at the mediamonkey.ini file and it did not have a skin. Just had "skin="
I edited the ini file to "skin=basic" but this caused MM to boot as if it was my first time (unregistered etc) and with the standard skin? (and without MonkeyRok)
Is this normal behavour for any ini file editing... or is there a way to do this that I have missed?

Anyway after fiddling a bit and restoring my ini from backup (Thanks Trixmoto) I was able to get MM back as I want it, and MonkeyRok up and going.

Thanks for your help

[Lowlander]

Did you edit the skin value in the MonkeyRok area or some other area?

Make sure you have the same code in the MediaMonkey.ini as in my previous post. Does it show up like that (probably with other values though)?
