Option to include current album in Albums By appears to be broken.

Works here.

Yeah. I just noticed it working for another artist. Need to go back to other artist & see what is different.

@Laoma - ok, I'll check out the apostrophe issue. The % match is definitely working here though.

@Owyn - ok, I'll take a look at that option.

@DreadM - looking good! It should definitely be possible to do borderless though, as long as you have the option enabled in the settings?

@Mizery_Made - I'm pretty sure it does here too!

Did not check the original issue closely enough. I was looking at an Albums Featuring panel, not, Albums By.
No Bug.

[trixmoto]

Haha, you've found enough genuine issues for me to let this one slide!

Another thing that would be good to see once all the important issues are resolved.
I don't use Ratings at all. The MonkeyRok settings enable you to disable them from Statistics and Album Details, but they still remain in the Now Playing section and the Album section.

[trixmoto]

Well the album details is defined by the skin in "SkinFunction.vbs", but I can add an option to hide the ratings from the top section.

Thanks for that mate.

Let me say something very positive, I think you have fixed something that has bugged me for a long time in MonkeyRok.
The response time when playing artists with many albums has been improved greatly.
My computers used to be unresponsive for up to a minute or more when I played artists with lots of albums.
In fact, it is even quick on my older computer.

How the hell did you do it?

Man, you have done well.

Thank you...

There seems to be some sort of problem on the right with unused space.

[trixmoto]

Thank you, I've certainly tried my best. I've used global variables to do some caching of settings, improving the context menus I think has helped with the load time, and I've also worked on the image caching, amongst other things.

I think this is an issue with the stylesheet - when you hide sections the width doesn't match up to 100% and this can throw things off. I'll try and come up with a re-calculation algorithm in the next version.

@trixmoto,
thanks for checking the apostrophe issue, not a biggie. And I also have found the solution of the "similar artists" issue: When switching my regional settings in Win XP to English, everything is working fine - German gives me the mentioned problem.

Thanks so much again for all your hard work!!!

@Laoma - ok, I'll check out the apostrophe issue. The % match is definitely working here though.

@DreadM - looking good! It should definitely be possible to do borderless though, as long as you have the option enabled in the settings?

yes i disable the border's in the settings,and ad ( html { border:none; } )to the css file ,but still there is a gray and white border around, also in the default skin's.
any ideas?

And the video panel don't works on my win 7 64 bit system ,but works fine on vista 32 bit

two more question : in some skin files there is a skin.css.bak file ,is it necessary for new skin's.
and in the html file i found ( <title>Classic</title> )must this be changed to the new skin name?

[trixmoto]

I'll take a look at the borderless issue, but I'd not noticed this when I was testing. I don't have Windows 7 so I can't test the video panel. The "skin.css.bak" file is just a backup that the editor I use has created and I forgot to delete. The title tag is never actually used, I just keep it correct for my own information.

Thanks Trixmoto for the info,for the video panel i look again maybe i can find some more out.
there is also something strange behavior in the lyrics panel sometimes it changes the text style in lyrics header and the lyrics window.

BTW here is a MR5 Skin for the 7on Skin,
looks like this :


if it works correct i will send you the file

can be download here

Hy trixmoto.

Thanks for the 5.0 update. At last i can use MR.

In the older versions it was not possible to use it, because of the extreme long waiting time by artists with many albums. Now it works fine.

Thx again
