Installation:
------------
1. Installation will Ask you where you have installed MediaMonkey For setting Integration with MM.

I'm not sure I know how to use it.
Would I need two seperate audio outputs to take advantage of it?

Tru power is in two audio outputs (Two sound cards if possible) I have AUDIGY 2 as Primary and Integrated as secondary for monitor.
But App can be used to listen previews of songs in lib without changing Now playing/creating new playlists.

hi I've tried installing and running the script on a W2K PCas described in your note.


I get the following VBScript error

Error #424 - Microsoft VBScript runtime error
Object required: "WShell"

File "C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Auto\SongMonitor.vbs" line 88, column: 0

Pressing the OK button displays another dialog

Error happened during script excetion: Object required: "WShell"

The actual line in question is :

Result = WShell.Run(Command, 1, 1)

Regards

Leon :cry:

Path to Monitor Exe is wrong You can change it in SongMonitor.vbs at line 18

Code: Select all

' --> Here change FullPath to Monitor.exe if needed
MonitorEXE = "c:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Monitor.exe"

Well As this is test version Of song monitor/previewer it uses DirectSound or DirectX9 Drivers and possible problem is that you do not have DirectX9 Installed, Or you do not have correct ActiveX Decoder installed for perticular File. what system do you have. here on mine: Win XP SP1, DirectX 9.0c, Windows Media Player 9 works Ok on MP3, WMA, OGG, Wav.

I'm Planning to release version that uses Winamp Input/output pluggins to play Files. Util then try to Install New drivers for your sound card, WMP 9, and DirectX9.0c.

Monitor.exe Directshow Error is rised as no Filename is parsed to it.
Monitor.exe can be used as standalone Player if you parse fullpath and filename to Monitor.exe (like "Monitor.exe c:\example.mp3" and it will play that song.

One Q: What is the full path to Monitor.exe? like in MonitorEXE line?

One little Update:

Edit SongMonitor.vbs and at line 108 add

Code: Select all

Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
So error when trying to play preview is fixed.

I've tried to install monitor, and it loads in MM, but there is an error message that It can't find the output plugin. Which output plugin should be used and where is monitor.exe expecting to find it? I currently put the in_mp3.dll and out_ds.dll in the same directory as monitor.exe. Also these dlls came from my WinAmp 2.95 distribution.

scripts (therefor this add-on) are only enabled on the full version of MM. After evaluating the free version for a couple months, I purchased the full version and it is a great bargain.

RovingCowboy: It ads Ability to play MM previews, and prelisten selected track in second sound channel(in case of two sound cards) completly separated from MM, and while you are listening either preview or track you can add it to now playing as next , last, or play now like in MM.

Rogger: version 1.0.0.19 uses out_WAVE.dll from Winamp, but you can rename out_ds.dll to out_wave.dll and it will work. it is bug that slipped in 1.0.0.19 I'll fix it in next release.
