Re: Magic Nodes 4.0 w/ 320 masks & real GUI (2010-06-24) [MM
i changed the code but every path of a song.
the 2nd code showed every path of a song just like the modified 1st code.
my mediamonkey had about 15 restarts already. i can still see the updated album name nodes where the folder name = album name.

Displaying 40 recently added albums - FLAC left out..
I'm trying to display the 40 most recently added classical record albums. I had thought the following was working:
40 recently added CLASSICAL albums|Position:First child|Filter:Songs.IDAlbum IN (SELECT IDAlbum FROM Songs WHERE Songs.Custom1 = 'c' GROUP BY IDAlbum ORDER BY Min(DateAdded) DESC LIMIT 40)\<Artist>\<Album>
(obviously "c" means classical in my database)
But I realized the results were not right. I have started to add flac albums, and It appears that they aren't displayed, only mp3.
1. How can I get albums in any format to show up?
(btw, this mask:
Albums added in last 3 days|Icon:Top level|Filter:<Days since added> < 4|Position:First child\<Artist>\<Album|Sort by:Min(Time since added)|Sort key:0|Statistic:Min(Days since added)>
seems to show everything. )
2. Is there a better query to use? I'm not sure why the query tests a count of track numbers (I copied this from the forum)
Thanks,

Re: Displaying 40 recently added albums - FLAC left out..
Your mask is all right. That mask doesn't contain anything related to the file format, so the problem is caused by something else. Your result doesn't have displayed flac files most probably because you didn't enter "c" for custom field to them or you have some filter activated which doesn't include flac files.markeh wrote:I realized the results were not right.

Well, I don't know what you are getting with that mask, but its name should be better called as "Tracks added in last 3 days" with these tracks grouped by Artist\Album. So, if you have some albums which have only few tracks recently added, and other tracks added much before, those albums will be displayed as well. If you want to display only albums which have all tracks added in last 3 days then you could try this:markeh wrote:(btw, this mask:
Albums added in last 3 days|Icon:Top level|Filter:<Days since added> < 4|Position:First child\<Artist>\<Album|Sort by:Min(Time since added)|Sort key:0|Statistic:Min(Days since added)>
seems to show everything. )
Code: Select all
<Group|Name:Albums...|Show tracks:No>\Complete albums with all tracks added in last 3 days|Icon:Top level|Filter:Songs.IDAlbum IN (SELECT IDAlbum FROM Songs GROUP BY IDAlbum HAVING Count(TrackNumber) = Max(Cast(TrackNumber As integer)) AND Count(TrackNumber) > 3 AND Max(<Days since added>) < 4)\<Album with album artist|Sort by:Max(Days since added)|Sort order:Desc>
On which query do you mean? There is none you mentioned which tests a count of track numbers. The predefined mask for recently added albums have test for a count of tracks to be equal to the maximal track number because it displays only complete albums.markeh wrote:2.

Re: Magic Nodes 4.0 w/ 320 masks & real GUI (2010-06-24) [MM
I have no filter (that I know of) turned on. The mask below works as expected, and includes all tracks, flac or mp3, also all track types (classical, jazz, etc...):Your mask is all right. That mask doesn't contain anything related to the file format, so the problem is caused by something else. Your result doesn't have displayed flac files most probably because you didn't enter "c" for custom field to them or you have some filter activated which doesn't include flac files.
That leads me to the conclusion that the problem is inAlbums added in last 3 days|Icon:Top level|Filter:<Days since added> < 4|Position:First child\<Artist>\<Album|Sort by:Min(Time since added)|Sort key:0|Statistic:Min(Days since added)>
Regular MM searches allow me to specify class, and things work as expected. But I'm guessing that the value is stored such that Songs.Custom1 means something different on flac files than on mp3. Perhaps flac files use a different field? Any suggestions?Songs.Custom1 = 'c'
thnx (again)

Re: Magic Nodes 4.0 w/ 320 masks & real GUI (2010-06-24) [MM
I have been trying out this mask:
It displays the genre list as, ex: "Genre (5 album artists)", but I would like it to display the genre list as "Genre (5)". It is unnecessary to tell me that it is album artists when I know that this is what is next up in the tree; all it does, for me, is clutter the screen. Does anyone know how I can see things as "Genre (5)"?
Cheers!
Code: Select all
Genres (count)|Child of:Location\<Genre|Statistic:Count(Items)>\<Album Artist|Statistic:Count(Items)>\<Album|Statistic:Count(All)>
Cheers!
Re: Magic Nodes 4.0 w/ 320 masks & real GUI (2010-06-24) [MM
It is not possible with the current version of this add-on. However, there are at least 4 things because this is not recomended:Dussault wrote:Does anyone know how I can see things as "Genre (5)"?
1. Statistic qualifier's Count function could accept any field as argument, not only Items, e.g. Count(Title);
2. Statistic qualifier could accept any aggregate function, not only Count, e.g. Max(Bitrate);
3. Statistic qualifier could accept two or more aggregate functions, e.g. Count(Items), Max(Bitrate);
4. Statistic qualifier could accept two or more Count functions, e.g. Count(Artist), Count(Album), Count(Tracks).
So, if you skip the number sufix, you would not know what is really displayed without looking at the mask.

Hi ZvezdanD,
actuallly i am asking this question on behalf of a friend of mine who has some problems with understanding the documentation etc. in English:
Is it possible to translate your MagicNodes into other languages e.g. German?
If so, how could i assist?
Do you know about any translations that have already been done?
Regards
Chris

I am thinking about adding a support for multiple languages, but I am waiting to see if MM developers would add something to the program with this in regard since there was already some talking about that. However, when this happens it would include only text in MN dialog boxes and eventually captions of Magic nodes. Regarding to the documentation, as far as I know, there is only one PDF file in English written by Rick Parsons long time ago, so even it is outdated. If you are willing to translate that PDF document to German, I would be really glad. Also, when I decide to implement multi-language support for dialog boxes, I would contact you in PM to see if you could help me with the translations.chris_go wrote:i am asking this question on behalf of a friend of mine who has some problems with understanding the documentation etc. in English:

Re: Magic Nodes 4.0 w/ 320 masks & real GUI (2010-06-24) [MM
I'd like to make a node, which lists all a songwriters' co-writers eg -
1. Paul McCartney
- John Lennon
- Linda McCartney
- Denny Laine
- Elvis Costello
And so on
I've tried ...
But this just lists each songwriter as having only one collaborator - Themselves!
I think this is because it's a multi item field and treats each songwriter as an item on its own, so it looks for Paul McCartney, finds him, but doesn't look for a second songwriter.
Any idea how I get around this?
1. Paul McCartney
- John Lennon
- Linda McCartney
- Denny Laine
- Elvis Costello
And so on
I've tried ...
Code: Select all
Most Co-Songwriters|Show tracks:No|icon:top level\<Composer|Show rank:Yes|Sort by:Count(Composer) Desc|Top:10>\<Composer|Show rank:Yes|Sort by:Count(Tracks) Desc|Unknown:No|Show sort key:0|Statistic:Count(Tracks)>

Code: Select all
Most Co-Songwriters|Show tracks:No|Icon:Top level\<Multi composer|Show rank:Yes|Sort by:Count(Composer) Desc|Top:10|Split by:;|Split Mode:String Part|Split part:1>\<Multi composer|Show rank:Yes|Unknown:No|Split by:;|Split Mode:Parts After|Split part:1>
It would be better if I have added First Composer and Other Composer fields to the script, beside of First/Other Artist/Album Artist/Genre, but I though that nobody would need them.
However, there is one big problem with such approach: the order of items is very important, e.g. tracks with "Paul McCartney;John Lennon" would be treated differently then "John Lennon;Paul McCartney".

Oh sorry! I thought I was up to date.
That's worked, but you are correct, it only lists the tracks where a songwriter is the first named.

Hopefully someone can help me out, I had been using Nodes for a while, but for the past few weeks, everytime I select my special Nodes, it makes my MM unresponsive, here are my masks:
Average Albums - Artists|Show tracks:No\<Artist|Show tracks:No|Unknown:No>\<Album|Top:100|Unknown:No|Show tracks:No|Sort by:WAvg(Played) Desc|Min tracks:2>
Average Albums - Year|Show tracks:No\<Decade|Show tracks:No>\<Year>\<Album|Top:100|Unknown:No|Show tracks:No|Sort by:WAvg(Played) Desc|Min tracks:3>
Both used to work flawlessly, but are unusable now for some unknown reason.
