Monkey Rok 4.1 - Updated 17/08/2009

[dypsis]

I am a fairly new user of MonkeyRok, and I noticed some extra detail that can be added to MonkeyRok in some screenshots over in the MediaMonkey Screenshots thread which I raised a few questions for.

I think there's something wrong with trixmoto's page because I can't download Monkey Rok. Can somebody upload the installer?

@nynaevelan - what are you trying to exclude the genre from? The exclude artist is checked before more information about the artist is gathered, but no extra information about a genre is retrieved.

I'm sorry but due to a death in the family there will be a delay in the release of this script. Be assured though that it should be worth the wait! Although, as an advanced warning, new versions of this script will only be available for MM3, I have removed the MM2 code to improve performance.

So it should be...

Move to MM3 guys...

When the Artist/Genre Played data is displayed I would like it to only include certain genre's. For example I only play my Christmas genre during the holiday season, I don't want any of those tracks to be included in statistical data. t would be ideal if MR could generate statistics based on the requirements of the active filter but if that is too difficult to accomplish, I can work with having to add the particular genre's that I want to exclude from a list in the Options Sheet.

I'm truly sorry about the loss in your family, Trix ... my condolences.

Take care of your family, we'll be here when you get back.

@nynaevelan - at the moment the statistics works the same way as the report that ships with MM (or at least it should!) and the artist exceptions does not apply to this. It would considerably slow down the statistics report if I tried to include this, so I probably won't if that's ok.

@Vyper - thank you, much appreciated.

Ok, I can live without it. And my condolences for your loss, my prayers are with you and your family.

Trixmoto, my deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss, it is a terrible moment in our lives that we all regrettably have to face from time to time.

With regard to MonkeyRok - I am sad to see your decision (though I do understand why) not to provide an update that is also for MM2.5
I haven't moved on to v3 yet for a whole host of reasons, all good ones to me and I am sure there are many others who haven't yet either.
Perhaps a mini 2.5 update just to get the Biography working again would be nice

[trixmoto]

@paulmt - thank you

To fix the biography you need to open "Functions.vbs" in a text editor and replace lines 3189-3202...

Code: Select all

          Dim div : div = xml.responseText
          tot = InStr(div,"<div class=""hasRightCol"">")
          If tot > 0 Then           
            tot = InStr(tot,div,"</div></div>")
            If tot > 0 Then
              div = LTrim(Mid(div,tot+12))
              tot = InStr(div,"<div ")
              If tot > 0 Then
                str = Left(div,tot-1)
                str = FixLinks(str)
                str = FixTrunc(str,char,True)
              End If
            End If
          End If

...with the following lines...

Code: Select all

          Dim div : div = xml.responseText
          tot = InStr(div,"<div id=""wiki"">")
          If tot > 0 Then           
            div = LTrim(Mid(div,tot+15))
            tot = InStr(div,"</div><!-- #wiki -->")
            If tot > 0 Then
              str = Left(div,tot-1)
              str = FixLinks(str)
              str = FixTrunc(str,char,True)
            End If
          End If

Trix, sorry to hear about what has happened, recently my Grandmother passed away aged 96 so I know how you are probably feeling. I only have a minor problem so perhaps somebody else can help. My main drive recently fell over and had to be replaced, after re-installing XP and getting MM back up and running, I have found Monkey Rok only displaying the main (scrolling) artwork at the top, all the rest (Album, Albums By, and Albums Featuring) only display the dreaded red X. Registry Key 1201 is set to 0, and I am having no problems with anything else requiring active X for other scripts. Very annoying thing with one of my fave scripts, especially when just 10 minutes ago I got my Biography field to display again! Somebody please help! LOL.

Cheers from downunder

Thanks Trix.

Working perfectly.

Thanks for doing this at a time when we know you had other, far more important things on your mind.

First thought, have you got the temp directory set correctly? You should have it at C:\Temp (unless you change that in the MonkeyRok.vbs file)

[paulmt]

Thanks Trix.

And Ditto for me

It has probably been mentioned before on some page of this thread.
But just in case it hasn't.

"Biography" is spelt wrong. It is spelt "Biograhpy" in MonkeyRok.
