Where do I start?

[CptCrunch]

Hello everyone,

This is my first time here and would like to get started on scripting, mostly in C#. I looked up and down for the past few hours and could not find where I can download the API for MM, nor did I see any scripts made in C#, can anyone point me around?

Thanks!

As I understand scripts are written in VB script: http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/Scripting

Hrm, why is there a C# example? http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... _scripting

make sure that you have added a reference to the SongsDB library

Where can I find this library at? I looked for a src folder, an api to download, and searched for it in my MM folder, no luck? Perhaps I over looked something it was in the middle of the night.

That example is in the "external scripts" section. You'd have to write an interal script in JScript or VBScript to trigger the C# script externally, as MM can only handle these languages itself.

My "Backup" script has an internal script (VBScript) which calls external scripts (also VBScript) so that the processing is down outside of MM and therefore does not affect performance. You can check out the code this script if you want an example of how to do this, it's in "Backup.vbs".

I see that makes sense now, thank you for your help!

you ain't capt crunch? i thought you was, and every one knows who he was, I thought,

he got his name from the whistle that was in the box of cereal back in the 70's or 80's he found he could
blow that thing in the phones and make the number tones and was calling all over the world from pay phones and never paid a penny for it.
he started a whole group of people doing it and then they got a box and put in buttons and got really good at it.
they called around the world from a pay phone one time to the one beside the one they dialed from and it cost nothing. UNTIL they caught him. then he spent time in jail for his free calls.
made the phone company change how the systems worked so he did. now those tone box'es wont work.
