A new version is out: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=41584

I wouldn't mind seeing your version. I do already have a solution, but it's never a bad idea to compare solutions as speed is an issue.

Great! Like I said, I'm good on the strDrive issue at this point.

I'll make my own getTrack.asp when I get this next release and send it to you. If you like my implementation, feel free to use it.

by **Lowlander** » Mon Mar 27, 2006 10:04 pm

I think that I'm calling it feature complete, so only testing and fine tuning remain.

This means that the strDrive, gettrack.asp issue remains open for a next release. Also the ability to modify tracks (rating) will remain open for a next release.

I'm planning to release by next Friday at the latest. Hopefully it will be sooner.

How's it all coming?

PMed alternative location and site seems to be up and running again. I hope you like it.

PS. next version will be able to remember login/user

I know is a source code, but can be zipped and send via e-mail, or in another server. I ask to who already have donwloaded WebMonkey and want help me to retrieve. I can wait until connection go up... but when go up? I dont know... Well, a good idea is to put the file to another server.

Thank you

Is not possible to download from another server? Is all day I try to download, but I see always same message.
Or, another way, someone can send me via e-mail?

Thank you

I cant download webmonkey.
I want to try, but when I try to open http://lowlander.gotdns.com/webmonkey or also simply http://lowlander.gotdns.com/, I see a timeout server error...

Pleeeease!!!

If you're referring to #7, my solution is to set strDrive = "http://" & Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST") & "/webmonkey" which works fine for me inside or out (so I'm good now). You may want to make a note or set that as default or something for people trying to access their site in and out.

Let me know if you need help on any of the other features.

@Nautme
I don't know yet, besides your requests I'm working on some other things as well. I might release R9 sooner and leave some of your requests to R10 or later.
The TAR option can be limited to only allow it in albumlistings which would mean you can add only one album. I will need to think if there is an elegant way to limit TAR file count on larger lists.
One question if the strDrive variable becomes optional in paths (only used in playlists) would that work for you? The problem is that I can't use relative paths, so I'm trying to figure out which way would work best for both of us.

@Teknojnky
I will consider adding a default IIS page that redirects or rename index.asp.

IIS
Windows has some weird things. It certainly has to do with right to access the database. Depending on your version of windows you can click the properties of the folder where the DB is and add the Internet Guest account.

Yes very strange, I was able to use it fine on my home box.

One suggestion, by default IIS does not include "index.asp" as a default page so you are unable to naviate to localhost/webmonkey/ by itself, you must use localhost/webmonkey/index.asp instead.

It is possible for the user to add "index.asp" to the list of default files (in the virtual folder properties), which works fine, but it may not be intuitive for newbies.

The default documents on my stock xp install was:

default.htm
default.asp
index.htm
iisstart.asp
default.aspx

It might be a touch simpler if index.asp was changed to default.asp (or a separate default.asp was added).

Lowlander-

Any idea on when R9 will be available? I don't mind testing (as you can tell). Thanks for implementing some of my suggestions.

Also, I was talking with a friend and it may be wise to set a maximum number of tracks option/limit on files that can be added to a TAR/ZIP. You don't want to accidently add 10,000 tracks... or should I say, I don't want someone I know to accidently add 10,000 tracks of my collection.
