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.

And here are my settings:


Post back with any questions! Good luck.

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.

Glad you figured it out.

Glad you figured it out.

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.

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>

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.
