I gave up trying to find an automatic solution after my last post on this thread - mid 2021. We made manually creating the playlist a step in shutting down after our weekly dance. If there's a "Run on shutdown" feature for invoking VBS scripts in MM then this could possibly be implemented, but that ...

It's been well over a year since I last looked at MM v5 for Windows. I'd like to know if the show-stoppers I identified back then have been eliminated. Here are the requirements that our little non-profit dance group have. It needs a skin similar enough to MMW4 Blue Monkey that 70-80 year old ...

I mistakenly posted a question in the "Need Help? (MMW4)" https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=103686 when it should have been posted here, so this is a multiple posting. Sorry. I have a script that accesses the entire Songs table my first selecting Music in the media tree, performing ...

I haven't looked at MediaMonkey v5 for a year or so, but it was a non-starter then. For a couple of the computer-phobic people in our non-profit group using our MediaMonkey, any changes in MM's look and feel requires retraining. For the untrained person (i.e., me) doing our MM custoimization ...

I'm looking for an unused (in my installation) integer field in the Songs table that I can use in scripts - a field that will not be reset by MediaMonkey during a library (re)scan, etc. I cannot find a description of when MediaMonkey sets fields in the database. So I've got some questions about ...

Locate Moved/Missing Files can be used if the Path changed. I can't test the whole function since it seems to be available only to Gold users (and I'm not ready to become one because I'm not convinced MMV5 is even usable for me). I can't use the free Edit Dead Links function because my old and new ...

Last August I asked if old UpdateLocationOfFiles script was going to be ported to MMW5 and was told its function was built into MMW5 in the Manually_Re-assign_Drive function: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=485571&hilit=UpdateLocationOfFiles#p485571 and https://www.mediamonkey.com ...

1. There is a way in MM5 to prompt the user for a file: app.utils.dialogOpenFile . It's on the API docs but I see now that there's a typo (its title is dialogSaveFile) - https://www.mediamonkey.com/docs/api/classes/Utils.html#method_dialogSaveFile app.utils.dialogOpenFile('.', 'm3u', _('Playlist ...

Note: I am not a "developer". I cobble together bits and pieces from working scripts without necessarily knowing how those original scripts work. That worked in MMW4 but I'm completely lost in MMW5. Luckily this MMW4 script has very little MediaMonkey-specific function in it. Background: We have ...

Are you using "portable" with NAS or external hard drive? I'm sure this is more information than you want, but ... So far I am just testing MMW5 - portable installation is on an internal hard drive. The eventual MMW5 implementations (and my current MMW4 implementations): multiple USB flash drive ...

I've upgraded to build 2606 and see no difference in behavior. Is that the result of the "Simplified List" vs "List" problem?

You can change what the Playing window shows under Tools > Options > Playing list. Use List and configure the fields displayed. That definitely sets what is displayed on the Playing list. And so does doing "Choose columns" from the panel itself. But that doesn't seem to be the settings used by ...

Addon is now available here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/undock-playing/ (I changed the ID in case I/we add the ability to undock more controls than just the playing list. If you have the one from that forum thread installed, make sure to uninstall it before installing this copy ...

Great! Thank you (and him).

This is not possible with MediaMonkey 5. No window can be undocked from the main MediaMonkey window. It's been a long time since anyone expanded on this reply so I'm going to try asking again. Is this a permanent restriction that will never be fixed, or is it something that may appear in the future ...
