MediaMonkey forum

Steegy, I just wanted to thank you for providing some code that, with slight modification provided by onenonymous, is going to make my job a good deal less tedious.

This is what onenonymous suggested I change in order to get the functionality I wanted:

Code: Select all

Sub StartNextSong(Timer) 
    UnregisterTimer 
    Call WriteToLog("Timer event handling unregistered in StartNextSong") 
    SDB.Player.Next 
End Sub

to look like this:

Code: Select all

 
Sub StartNextSong(Timer) 
    UnregisterTimer 
    SDB.Player.PlaybackTime = SDB.Player.CurrentSongLength - 20 * 1000 
    Call WriteToLog("Timer event handling unregistered in StartNextSong") 
End Sub 

And

try commenting out (or deleting) two lines in the StartPlaying procedure:

Code: Select all

 
SDB.Player.PlaybackTime = StartTime 

thanks a bunch for starting off with some great code!

Does the made "SongPreviewer.vbs" just have to be placed in the scripts/auto directory or is there something that needs to be placed in the .ini file as well? thanks

Auto folder only.

I don't know what's wrong. I have 2.5.5.997 and every time I use it it gives me

error #13

or something like that with VBScript

i think it has something to do with the script being updated for mm 3.0 which does not work for mm 2.
that might be causing the error.?

Hi guys!
I desperately want to use the song preview function but unfortunately something seems to be wrong. As far as I can tell I haven't done anything wrong: First I created a plain text file in the auto folder of MM, then I renamed the folder to SongPreviewer.vbs and saved it. Next step was to start MM and look for a new button but I just couldn't any.
Could one of you guys please tell me where this button is supposed to be located?
Thanx, H

Did you save the file SongPreviewer.vbs to \Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\?

According to the first post, (I have never tried this script) "A item is added to the bottom of the "Play" menu, to open the non-modal options form. "

@nohitter151
Yes, I did but nothing happens at all. I'm pretty sure that the file format of the saved file has something to do with my problem; in Explorer it is displayed as a plain text file whereas the other scripts that I have installed are shown as VBScript files. Something must have gotten wrong but I just don't know what it could be. Any more ideas?

In Windows explorer, go to Tools -> Folder options, then the 'View' tab. Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types", then change SongPreviewer.vbs.txt to SongPreviewer.vbs

You'll have to restart MM before the script will appear.

can you add it a fade in and fade out , and let the user set the time for it?
thanks
Murray

I just installed this and it works great for me. Thank you!

Hello MM Forum. I am using Gold 3.2.0.1294 on a quad core 32 bit XP-Pro SP3 machine.

I have never installed a script without an installer. I would like to install the SongPreviewer but the instructions at "How To Install Script Addons" http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/inde ... ticleid=97 isn't quite clear to me.

For example, I do not know if I should be using step 3 or 4 from the above instructions, where I must choose to install either an "Auto Script" or just a "Script"

I also do not know if I should be copying the entire text into a VBS file, or only a portion.

Does someone have an easier walk-thru that I can follow to install the SongPreviewer Script?

Vic

See the first post of this thread:

Steegy wrote:Installing manually:

The script consists of 1 standalone script file ("SongPreviewer.vbs").
It has to be placed in MediaMonkey's Scripts\Auto folder.
More information can be found in the FAQ ("How do I install scripts?"): http://faq.mediamonkey.com/index.php?ac ... artlang=en
This script is an Auto-script.

nohitter151 -- thank you. I overlooked the directions. The directions are quite clear. I did not understand that the SongPreviewer was available on the PLAY Menu. That was part of the problem...I was looking for an icon on a toolbar to activate. Activating from the PLAY dropdown menu works fine for me now.

I appreciate this walk thru.

Thanks a lot for this very useful script, most songs nowadays start @1:30 or later... now I don't have to skip manually.
It works flawlessly with MM v 3.2.1.
