B2 Bug: Micro Player does not appear

nohitter151 · Post by **nohitter151** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 7:33 pm

I can't get the Micro Player to show up, it was working fine in B1. I've tried changing the options (on Minimize) and turned that off and tried from the button in the titlebar, neither works.

Mine works fine.
I just installed overwriting the files, did you do the same? or uninstall first?

It was a clean install.

Yep... I can confirm that.

Media Monkey3 beta 1 -> Media Monkey 3 beta 2 Upgrade (\Program Files\MediaMonkey3\..)
has working MicroPlayer

Media Monkey 3 beta 2 Clean Install (\Program Files\MediaMonkey3beta\..)
will not show MicroPlayer

just a really simpile idea?

but you that have both versions of install's do you use

different computers to check that on?
if so then check the files in the clean install and compair with the overinstall.

see what file if any is missing.

"MediaMonkey3" = UPGRADE folder
"MediaMonkey3beta" = CLEAN INSTALL folder

After looking through the folders, I found 5 files missing from the clean install:
--------------------------------------------------
\DeskPlayer.temp.dll

\Locale\de\LC_MESSAGES\context.mo

\Plugins\AudioScrobbler.log.txt [Last.FM]
\Plugins\gen_wa2_scrobbler.dll [Last.FM]
\Plugins\musepack.ini
--------------------------------------------------

Detailed output of files (from Cdrom List Creator):
B1 -> B2 Upgrade: http://www.TwiztidSinz.com/mediamonkey3/mm3_upgrade.txt
B2 Clean Install : http://www.TwiztidSinz.com/mediamonkey3/mm3_clean.txt

I also noticed that Cdrom List Creator found 6 extra entries in the Upgrade folder. According to Windows Explorer there should be only 5 Files and 0 Folders different. I have not fully gone though the list to find the 'extra' yet.

[Edit]:
Found the 'extra' file.

Code: Select all

Volume name is 
Directory of C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey3

Morten's WMP11 skin isn't showing up in Windows Explorer and wasn't copied over when I copied the Skins folder to the 'clean' install to balance the skins out.

Have you enabled "MediaMonkey Player" in toolbars menu ?

Yes, as I mentioned I had this working for Beta 1. On a clean install of B2, the microplayer will not show up.

i'm going to take a guess and say copy the deskplayertemp.dll to the clean install folder and see if it works?

That worked.. the 'clean install' version now has a Micro Player

Okay. I don't have a copy of the .dll but its not a big deal, I can wait until the next release comes out for it to be fixed. Just wanted to make sure someone knew about it so it would be fixed for next time

I have checked the archive for virus' and it was clean, and while I'd never do anything malicious (not to mention that I lack the know-how to do so):
BE SURE TO RUN A VIRUS SCAN ON THIS AND EVERY OTHER FILE YOU DOWNLOAD YOURSELF!

Thanks for posting that. Strangest thing though, I downloaded the file and moved it to the MM3 directory where I was told that I already had the file in my directory! I moved and replaced the old .dll, and now the microplayer is working. Very strange indeed... thanks for posting the file though!
