Hi,

It is a very old thread, but I'm always using EvenGhost and its MediaMonkey plugin, until I update MediaMonkey from version 4 to version 5: it doesn't work anymore, I created a new topic [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=104159]here [/url] if someone can help :)

The new version of the EventGhost plugin, compatible with MM 4.0, can be downloaded [url=https://eventghost.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/eventghost/branches/pako2/plugin-install/plugins/MediaMonkey/__init__.py]here[/url].

[b][u]Attention:[/u][/b] This new version no longer needs for its work the file [color=#FF0000][b]EventGhost.vbs[/b][/color] !!!

It is quite easy (at least for basic control of MM).
On the computer, where MM is installed, add to configuration EG the plugin [color=#0000BF]Network Event Receiver[/color]
and on the other computer the plugin [color=#0000BF]Network Event Sender[/color].
Using [color=#0000BF]Network Event Sender[/color] plugin you can send commands for MM.

Hi,

I don't know too much about computers. I wouldn't even know where to begin putting a script in or whatever.

My question though is this...

Can you use Event Ghost to control media monkey on one computer from another if they are both connected to the same wifi router? And if the answer is yes, then how do you set it up. I installed Event Ghost onto this computer (the one I want to use as the controller, not the player) and I've installed the Media monkey pluggin but have no idea from this point how to control Media Monkey on the other computer.

Thanks for any help!

[quote="BigBlack"]hey guys where i can find the eventghost.vbs? Thank you bye[/quote]
It is installed by default when you install EventGhost. See the 1st post.

Pako,

This is a REALLY impressive plugin for EventGhost. I know how difficult it can be since I just wrote the [url=http://melloware.com/products/eventphone/]EventPhone[/url] plugin for EventGhost myself and I just wanted to say I think your MM plugin is very impressive!

If anyone needs to control EventGhost from their iPhone or iPod touch I have written EventPhone if you want to check it out.

Keep up the great work Pako!

MediaMonkey plugin (part of EventGhost) now has a new feature - [b]Jukebox[/b]. It works so that you enter any number (for example, on your remote control) and MediaMonkey starts playing album with the same ID.
To work as described, it is necessary add another new plugin into configuration of EventGhost. This new plugin is called Multitap. Multitap has three modes of work:
1) enter of more than one-digit numbers
2) SMS mode - writing text as a mobile phone
3) Single Key mode - using one button, you can generate different events from your list
Multitap plugin is part of the installation package Eventghost (as well as a new version of the plugin MM).

You've done it again Pako. Another excellent update. It works perfectly. Thank you very much for making my ideas reality.

New action "Get basic song info of next track" included in build 1402.
Is it done well ?
Pako

No, I don't normally use shuffle tracks.

You are using option "Shuffle tracks" ?
If yes, it is (without direct support MM) impossible.

Artist:  {eg.result.split(',')[1]}
Title:  {eg.result.split(',')[0]}
Album:  {eg.result.split(',')[3]}
Year:  {eg.result.split(',')[4]}
Rating: {int(eg.result.split(',')[2])/20} Star(s)

Got another request for you...

Since setting up and using the new multiline osd, an idea came to mind...

I have a FF key mapped to get a song and now it looks a lot better using the multiline osd using the following code and it looks fantastic to me.

[code]Artist: {eg.result.split(',')[1]}
Title: {eg.result.split(',')[0]}
Album: {eg.result.split(',')[3]}
Year: {eg.result.split(',')[4]}
Rating: {int(eg.result.split(',')[2])/20} Star(s)[/code]

Would it be at all possible to be able to query MM for the track info for the "next" track in the playlist? I went through all the MM information retrieval options in EG but haven't seen it so I am guessing there would be some coding involved if it is even possible.

For me personally, the only info necessary for the next playlist track would be the same as above for current track, Artist, Title, Album, Year and rating.

If you're wondering, this idea comes from internet radio stations or even music stations on satellite where it displays the current playing track and always shows the upcoming track.

If this info could be combined with basic info in the same OSD multiline output, that would just be awesome.

Finally, I hope I am not being too forward in asking for more features. I realize you do this stuff in your free time and I would hate to think that any requests I make for your script would turn a hobby into a chore.

Thanks for your help and this amazing script.

Yes, very clear thanks for the informing us of the new update. I will be taking advantage of the new multiline osd immediately.

Action ShowOSD has now (from build 1397) multiline feature.
You can use this feature for example this way:
[b]1)Output from action [u]Get basic song info[/u]:[/b][i]"Love Hurts,Nazareth,Ballads,Ballads Of The 70's,2003"[/i]
2)[b]Script in ShowOSD:[/b]
{eg.result.split(',')[1]}
{eg.result.split(',')[0]}
{eg.result.split(',')[3]}
{eg.result.split(',')[2]}
{eg.result.split(',')[4]}
[b]3)Output on screen:[/b]
[color=red]Nazareth
Love Hurts
Ballads Of The 70's
Ballads
2003[/color]

It is clear ?
