Welcome!

I don't think there are any instructions, but my these might be useful. Here are a couple of posts about how to set it up.

Apparently I'm exceptionally dense today. After a long period of rebuilding my library from backups, I noticed that my beloved Advanced Report was not installed. Looking at my website, it looks like I haven't created a new report since 2012; it seems much more recent (or I'm very old). I attempted to install the latest version, and edited the scripts.ini file to add the required block. This has not been met with success. I've tried to install for just current user, or all users. I've tried editing the scripts.ini in the program files directory, or the version kept in roaming/mediamonkey/scripts. If I see anything at all, it is under the scripts tab - NoName. Clicking on NoName just throws an error about the roaming directory not being accessible. This is frustrating, as the directory has the usual "open to the world" permissions common to such locations.

What screamingly obvious thing am I overlooking?

AND found it - can't have leading spaces in the scripts.ini entries.

I work with Linux scripts at work - the idea that leading spaces matter was a mental block that I had to beat on for a while. :)

Yep, that and CaSe, which is one that gets me often. :lol:

Hi to everyone,
I think I found some kind of a bug.

In the track mask the "OrigYear" tags shows as it should
Track mask: <Disc#>.<Track#><|><Title><|><Artist><|><|><|><OrigYear>

but in the album mask it returns only an empty bracket
Album mask: <Name> (<Artist>) [<OrigYear>]

Is that supposed to be like that and is there a workaround?

Greetings

Album mask doesn't support OrigYear.

Here's the list of supported fileds inside each mask:

Album mask fields:
<Name><Artist><Length><Tracks><Rating><Stars><Year><Bombs><Discs><Comment><Genre>

Track mask fields:
<Track#><Artist><Title><Album><Album Artist><Genre><Year><Bitrate><BPM>
<Composer><Custom 1><Custom 2><Custom 3><Filename><Length><Rating><Stars>
<Bombs><|><Band><Channels><MusicComposer><Conductor><Copyright><Custom 4><Custom 5>
<Disc#><Grouping><Lyricist><Mood><Occasion><Publisher><Quality><Tempo><Encoder>
<Link><ArtistLink><TitleLink><Comment><MediaIcon><Date><OrigYear><Lyrics>
<StartTime><StopTime><SkipCount><TrackType>
<Series><Director><Producer><Actors><ParentalRating><EpisodeNumber><SeasonNumber>

Tooltip mask fields:
<Track#><Artist><Title><Album><Album Artist><Genre><Year><Bitrate><BPM>
<Composer><Custom 1><Custom 2><Custom 3><Filename><Length><Rating>
<Band><Channels><MusicComposer><Conductor><Copyright><Custom 4><Custom 5>
<Disc#><Grouping><Lyricist><Mood><Occasion><Publisher><Quality><Tempo><Encoder>
<Comment><Date><OrigYear><Lyrics><StartTime><StopTime><SkipCount><TrackType>
<Series><Director><Producer><Actors><ParentalRating><EpisodeNumber><SeasonNumber>

Artist mask fields:
<Name><Tracks><Albums><Authors><Conducts><Lyrics><Rating><Year><Stars><Bombs><Comment>

Hope this helps!

Does anyone know where the script configuration options are stored?

I'm trying to do a clean install of this script. But every time I reinstall the script, it somehow remembers the custom fields in the masks that I had given previously. It also remembers the output directory path.

I tried the following so far:
  • Removed the entry in scripts.ini in Program Files/MediaMonkey/Scripts folder after uninstalling via Tools>Extensions>Uninstall
  • Checked the User>Roaming folder to make sure AdvancedReport.vbs is not there before I try to reinstall
I tried shutting down MM and reopening it multiple times before reinstalling the script. But for the life of me I can't figure out how it remembers my Script options.

I need this because I'm investigating what seems to be another bug. The bug is that an artist's name is getting generated in the report although there's no album linked to that artist. It seems to be some kinda cache issue.

I know this is an old topic now, and looks like not a lot of interest lately, but I was wondering if it is possible to make the Form window smaller, and still have the buttons showing.

When the window initially opens, the buttons are partially cut off on the bottom of the screen, and If I try to resize the window, the buttons disappear completely.

Maybe it is possible to change the font size in the vbs file? But I have no experience with that.

Thanks for any help

Well, do not be afraid to tinker with the script yourself. If you read the .vbs file you'll find that around line 300 you have -

Code: Select all

Form.Common.SetRect 100, 100, 612, 620
Here, the width is being set as 612 px and height is set as 620 px. Feel free to change those as per your wish. Keep a backup of the .vbs file before you edit it just to be safe.
Restart MM after making the changes and see if your issue is resolved. If there's no change to the size of the form even after the edit that means you're editing the wrong .vbs file.

For me, AdvancedReport.vbs file is located at C:\Users\<YOUR USER NAME>\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts

Thanks for your reply, I'll give it a go and see what happens :) .
Can you tell me what the "100, 100" represents?

I'm not sure. I imagine those are coordinates of the form box - either centre of the box or one of the corners of the box. Feel free to tinker with them as well.

HI, just an update on the window too big problem I had. I reduced the height of the box as per @chaos1618's directions, and it now fits in, so that the lower button are now visible. Thanks very much for the advice.
