AutoRateAccurate 2.4.3 (22/10/2009) - for MM3

[c3ntury]

I keep getting error when i try to play songs on MM 3, latest version. It worked before but now it doesnt :S
Not only that, after the error to add insult to injury it doesnt rate the song haha.
Btw, this script is ONE OF THE BEST on the web for MediaMonkey, great peice of work, thanks

overflow mostly means Stack Over flow. see if you can find out how to increase the number of spare stacks for your os.

I have done various searches and all of them apply to Windows95/98/ME

:S

Any way to increase it on Vista 64-bit?

Thanks guys.

FIXED IT!

Okay guys, how to fix -

Go onto this path -

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto

You will see a file called -

Code: Select all

AutoRateAccStarter.vbs

Okay, now open it in NotePad++ or something with a line counter on the left/right. Scroll down to line 1097 and change -

Code: Select all

OptPlayed = PlayedTime / (Song.SongLength / 1000)
Execute("Points = Int("&Formula&")")

to

Code: Select all

    If (Song.SongLength > 0) Then
        OptPlayed = PlayedTime / (Song.SongLength / 1000)
    Else
        OptPlayed = 0
    End If
    Execute("Points = Int("&Formula&")")

ENJOY GUYS, WORKED FOR ME

first send it to big berny he is still working on this script and would not like others adding things in to a mmip file for it. he is updating it so send him the info and let him add it if he has not already fixed it him self.

Ive been using megadj for a while now but I noticed that it doesnt seem to detect songs that have been rated using autorate.. (Hence not being able to use queries that rely on ratings for it) Does that mean that the ratings are not really "there" in the mp3 file? How does it work?
Has anyone out there managed to get the two scripts to work together? I hope someone has.. These two scripts are both something I cant go without in MM..

Ratings (though displayed as 0-5 stars) are actually stored as numerical values (-1 through 255) for compatibility reasons. For more info see:
http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... ue#p226576

Since autorate accurate probably modifies these rating values in small increments, the rating values differ from the MM default values slightly. I guess the MegaDJ script somehow only reads the one default star value rather than the range that MM uses.

I'm on vacation in berlin right now with my girlfriend. And I don't think that she lets me work on my script these days.
But I'll fix it next week!

Have a nice weekend

This is still the most frustrating script in the universe. I've just uninstalled it )again) as it was clear it was causing a "hang" after playing songs.
I then realised I'd not got the latest version so I installed that, unchecking the "rate immediately after playing" box in case that caused the hang. Now it is slowly trudging through "Phase 2" screwing up the rest of my system, stopping playing at the ends of song, not allows MM to close.

I've uninstalled again.

I thought it could rate my whole library in 5 seconds?

Soryy, BB, it doesn't work for me?

Is it Vista?

yes it might be vista. but doing the auto scan at start up is ram hog. as mm also scans the library at start up.
better to let it rate songs only if played.

also is better to run monkey in real time. if you can't find a program to set it in realtime then use the task manager in windows to find the process mediamonkey.exe and right click that to get a context menu then set the priority as high as you can get it for mediamonkey and on highprioirty for the decoder.exe

of course they both need to be running before you do that. and doing it with the task manager is a current session only setting.

Yes I have been doing that occasionally, but it's a real pain in the neck. I don't always remember. I may give Ber Berny's script another chance (it is a wonderful idea and seems to work for most people) and change that scanning setting.

Ta.

[rovingcowboy]

if you can find a program like priority static_control that works on vista and will keep the settings for all the time instead of just that current session get it and use it.

also just let it run all the library first. then it only changes the ones in the playlists that have not been played in a day or so. and with those options for all the auto start up scans off that is not too bad of thing here on this dell single cpu with 768 mb's of ram.



i really like the one by diddeleedoo but that is only for mm 2.5 and he is not going to be back here it looks like so big bernys is the only one for mm 3 that works. and he is updating it sometime after he gets back from his wedding. opps he said girl friend i just put him in a bind .

[kalowski]

Oh well, here goes. I've installed (again) unchecked auto-rate on start=up, but checked rate after song is played.
I then checked enable auto-rate... and "bam" where into it again. Phase 1...

It is 16:52 my time. I'll post back when Phase 2 ends.
