Hi wxdude - one more clue to what is generating the error. It seems like titles that have quotation marks (i.e. " ) are causing the error. I am not sure if this is the only case when the error occurs, but if I take a title that works fine and add a quotation mark, I can get the error consistently.

Thanks.

Thanks for reporting the bug. The double quotes were causing my API searches to be malformed.

Thanks - it is working great now!

Hi

This script looks like exactly what I'm looking for, but it won't install for me. Every time I try and install, I get an error stating, "Error #424- Microsoft VBScript runtime error. Object required: 'oLblGrpBoxResults'. File: 'C:\Users\Stuart\AppData\Roaming\Mediamonkey\Scripts\Auto\EarliestDate.vbs', Line: 450, Column: 2.", followed by another error stating that the installation failed due to 'oLblGrpBoxResults' being required. I'd really like to get this working, any ideas what the problem is?

To be honest I have no idea. The object in question is created and saved well before the script gets to the point that is giving you an error. I would try to first close MM and remove C:\Users\Stuart\AppData\Roaming\Mediamonkey\Scripts\Auto\EarliestDate.vbs from your system. Restart MM, re-download the mmip file, and re-install.

What version of Windows are you running and is it a portable installation of MM or not?

Deleting and reinstalling did the trick, thanks!

New release available that fixes one minor bug and updates the options page. Download link on first page.

WXdude, Love this script! I just installed today and it was running pretty well for a couple of hours then I received this error. I removed and reinstalled and I'm still getting this error. Any suggestions?

Error # 8732
Expected { to begin object

File C;\users\....\scripts\auto\earliestrelease.vbs line 1799 column 3

The error you are getting is caused by the JSON decoder failing.

Is there a specific release that is causing problems or does this error happen for all releases?
Did you try restarting MM?

I'm using MM 4.1.1.1703 and ERD version 4.1.0.185.

I've not seen the big error in a day but I'm consistently seeing

Expected { to begin object

I see it randomly after running for a while and I need to restart the search skipping the track that the search stalled on. I'm not sure if its a problem the discogs query on certain tracks but there aren't any special formatting or characters.

Can you see if it fails repeatedly on a specific track and let me know the details (Artist - Album - Song Title). If is repeatable I may be able to find out why it fails and fix. If it is simply random, I'll have to do some more error checking in the code.

It appears random but can reproduced on the same tracks that it fails.

Drake - The Ride, 2011, it's on the album Take Care

is the most recent in my collection but it doesn't fail on all Drake tracks. I can't seem to find the root.

Interesting. That Artist-Title works no problem for me and returns a single date of 2011-11-14 from 5 releases and 1 master.

Somehow you are not recieivng properly formatted JSON text from Discogs or you've been temporarily blocked. There are a few places where I can improve the error checking so that the script doesn't fail.

Thank you for looking at this. Should I try to use another setting besides Discogs?

Under Tools -> Options -> Library -> Earliest Date set the option to use "Search earliest date using:" to Musicbrainz instead of Discogs. Musicbrainz is much faster too.
