That's on my list, along with adding a trackbar to show thee song position (possibly editable - not sure yet). I also plan to switch off AutoAlbumDJ and ScrobblerDJ is peope have these running. They hadn't been written when I wrote this script though!

New version (2.2) is now available from my website.

I have added a (non-editable) trackbar which shows the current song position. I have requested an event which will allow me to make this trackbar editable in a future version.

This script also now switches off AutoAlbumDJ and ScrobblerDJ, restoring them to their previous state afterwards.

I am still considering how the next/previous buttons might work. Should it be the songs either side of the selected song? Or just those in the selected list (if you select multiple songs before launching the script. And what happens when you hit next/previous - is the track left in the now playing list or removed?

ScrobblerDJ is a script everyone should have!

Hi Trixmoto,
I have discovered your wounderfull script that lets you preview a song...pure brilliance !!

A have one question, to preview a song I have to go thru: tools/scripts/previewer...

Is there a faster way of doing this, like adding a right click option or a button ?

And again, this script really is brilliant !!!

Cheers,
//Peter

You can easily assign a shortcut to this menu option by editing the Scripts.ini file.

Hey Trixmoto,
DiddeLeeDoo have already hepled me with adding a button to your superb script.

No problem. I'll have to point more people at that when they request buttons! Invariably adding a button to a script also means adding an option as some people want them and some people don't!

Hey,
I don't know if it's common practice but it would be great if you scripts gurus could ad an "extra" script" as default when you make scripts. Like the one DiddeLeeDoo did.

That way we "non script people" have the option to add a button or not.

Just my 2 euros...

I can get the preview to come up and play files, but I can't skip forward or backward. I get error happened during script operation: unknown name. is there a setting I should be messing with? thanks

actually the skip forward and back works if I don't access it via the toolbar button add-on.

This is probably because the script path is confused because of the include. Instead of using DiddeLeeDoo's ingenious little add-on you should copy this part (slightly modified)...

Code: Select all

Sub OnStartup
    With SDB.UI.AddMenuItem(SDB.UI.Menu_TbStandard, 0, 0)
        .Caption="Previewer"
        .IconIndex=52
        .UseScript=Script.ScriptPath
        .OnClickFunc="DoPreviewer"
    End With
End Sub 

Sub DoPreviewer(obj)
  Call Previewer
End Sub

And paste it into the top of your Previewer.vbs. Then you should move this file into the Auto folder, remove the add-on file you created, and remember to update the entry in Scripts.ini so that you don't break the menu bar. Then this should work properly.

Great functionality to preview a song.
But for me, the buttons (-30s, -5s, Pause, +5s & +30s) has never worked.
When I click on them, I get "Error happened during script execution: Unknown name"

Any Idea?

Thanks

I've no idea and it works fine for me, so not really sure what to do. I've sent Jiri a message so hopefully he can tell me exactly what the error means and maybe help figure out what's wrong.

Eyal · Post by **Eyal** » Wed May 16, 2007 4:59 am

Oh I find out what it is. I have created a button in the toolbar to call the script, and it's doing this when I use the button. If I use the menu (tools->scripts...) it's working.

So something must be missing in the button script. I will check if I can do something.

Thanks

PS: I should have read more carefully, actually it.s the same error as Guest above.

adding a right click option or a button ?

Yup, DiddeLeeDoo have already helped me

Buttons...
