Scripting Functionality Thread (NO Script Requests Here!)

[baker]

If possible, please add the search box to MM's scripting methods as per..

http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24681

Thx!

[DaledeSilva]

not sure if this thread is still active or not, so if there's a more appropriate place to post this request, please let me know.

currently, previously OnChangedSelection has let a script know whenever the tracklist has changed because it usually only changes when a new node is navigated to.

Now, however, because a user can set search to "Current Selection" the tracklist can change without changing nodes and OnChangedSelection doesn't report (logically).

I would like a specific OnChange event for the tracklist window.

currently, my prettypictures script uses onChangedSelection and everytime has to count the tracklist items to determine whether the tracklist has changed - it's also why PrettyPictures doesn't refresh if you do a search in current selection.

thanks,
Dale.

Please

Sub OnTrackDeleted(DeletedTrack As SDBSongData, 0=Deleted from Library 1=Deleted from Library and Computer.)

[MoDementia]

The ability to supply a list of columns with OnTrackProperties
e.g.

Script.RegisterEvent SDB, "OnTrackProperties(Custom1, Genre, Mood)", "SDB_OnTrackProperties"

Would only be triggered when one of the columns Custom1, Genre or Mood is modified.

OnChangedFilter(OldFilterIndex,NewFilterIndex)

No specific application yet....
I'm sure if it was available we would find a use for it

OnChangedFilter(OldFilterIndex,NewFilterIndex)

I already need this (and asked for it):

Would it be possible to implement functionalit such as Wawi web interface?

Method for translating autoplaylist querydata into SQL and vice versa.

I ran dbgview while opening the properties of a track to find out how the playlists section is being created (especially autoplaylist entries).

MM converts the querydata into an AND part of a SQL statement e.g.

Code: Select all

FROM Songs WHERE Songs.ID = 9651 AND  (Songs.PlayCounter>=1 OR Songs.LastTimePlayed<(39639.589950266))  

If a method is too complicated (Read part is already part of MM code) then an example of valid sections and how they are translated so we can write our own subroutines would surfice.

Something similar to the scripts.in or skins.ini pages on the wiki.

DaledeSilva has already asked about it (sort of) here

[trixmoto]

I definitely support this!

I've a extension done with VB .NET, it adds support for the MCE remote, I noticed there is no way to toggle mute.

Method for translating autoplaylist querydata into SQL and vice versa.

I also support this request.

I think it would be good to have a function like:

Code: Select all

Function SDBDatabase.GetPlaylistQuery(ID As Integer) As String

It would work in the same way as GetFilterQuery() but for an auto-playlist.

This would enable things like:
- Apply filters to a playlist
- Combine playlists together
- Refine a playlist "on the fly" (e.g. select only 5 stars songs from the playslit)

Its main usage would clearly be for auto-dj scripts but we can imagine some other applications like maintenance or statistics.

Save the current volume
set volume to 0
restore saved volume.

While I was making small testing Script I noticed that we are missing:

Code: Select all

Function SDBApplication.GetSongData(TrackID As Integer) As ISDBSongData

[caasland]

I just started looking at the scripts this afternoon, and would like the following:

A new ISDBApplicationEvents called OnStartSync

This event would be triggered when a device is synchronized. The registered event would block the sync, running a procedure. The sync will continue when the procedure has finished. OnStartSync would receive a parameter containing device information (at a minimum, a drive letter).

Specifically, I have a Sansa running Rockbox, and am using smilerz script to import playcounts to MM (http://mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic. ... ox#p153922). Then I have MM set up to sync unplayed podcasts .. deleting the rest. This way, after I listen to a podcast, scrobbler records that I listened to. When I autosync, I want to be able to run smilerz script prior to MM determining what to syncronize. Without this functionality, I have can't run autosync when I connect the device - I have to plug in the device, run smilerz script, supply the drive letter, run autosync, then disconnect. With this functionality, all I need to do is plug in the device, let it sync, unmount, and I'm good to go, with no additional intervention.

For example, I'd have this autoscript:

Sub OnStartup
Script.RegisterEvent SDB, "OnStartSync", "RunAutoScrobbler"
End Sub

Sub RunAutoScrobbler(deviceInfo)
<smilerz script here, but get drive letter from deviceInfo >
End Sub

Make sense? (if this is implemented .. it would make sense to have a OnStopSync event too, called after the sync but before the device unmounts).

[PartialGestalt]

Hopefully this is already in and I just haven't been able to find it in the documentation, but it would be quite useful to have a player or application event for when a track finishes (Player.OnTrackFinished?) -- I'd like to have some post-play processing (e.g. for some custom counters/file reorganization), but haven't been able to find a way to do it without polling Player.isPlaying.

I had thought that OnStop would do the trick, but it doesn't seem to get thrown between tracks (although OnPlay does).

Does MM already have something like that (I'm at 3.0.3.1183), or could it be added?
