Sounds a little odd but if I can replicate it then I'll fix it. :)

I can't replicate this. Can you please try replacing line 686...

Code: Select all

If GeneratePath(fso.GetParentFolderName(pFolderPath)) Then
...and replace it with these two lines...

Code: Select all

MsgBox pFolderPath
If GeneratePath(fso.GetParentFolderName(pFolderPath)) Then
...and let me know what the last popup before the error says?

Hello,
a nice script, but I have some problems with it on my PC. It stops after about 280 to 290 of 770 albums, if I try to write the m3u files into the album folder. With the option to write the files in the folder above the album folder or into a defined root folder, the script works fine. Is there a know issue / problem like that? Maybe something about the length of the file path or special characters like ä, ö, ü, etc.?
Best regards

There are no known issues, but it does sound it could be a problem of that sort, especially if it's always happening at the same point each time. Is there any way you could try smaller batches to work out which album is causing the problem? Or maybe find the last file created and see if it's been cut off part way through and look which track should have been added next?

OK, it doesn't stop at the same track at all, it is always on another track. What happens is that one of the 2 processors of my AMD PC gets completely loaded by the MediaMonkey script while no E/A activity appears. I tried and put the process on only one processor with the same result, independent of using processor A or B or A+B.

The batch works fine if I change the root folder or set "Create playlist in folder above the album folder". If I activate write full track path or ignore tracks not in the album folder, it works also. That's a real strange behavior.
Only if I want the file in the album folder without the full track path, the error appears, so what's the difference that causes the error?

That's odd, I definitely can't explain that, there's no significant difference that I can think of. :-?

I found the log file and checked again, it seems that a complete album causes the problem, but still don't know why.

Been trying this out (2.5 on MM 3.2.4), for now just creating m3u from selected album, saving m3u in one folder up. Problem is, I have unicode selected, and the content of the m3u file is using unicode, but in the file name unicode characters are replaced with underscores.

When I select Creation Mode: Selected: 1 albums I have no idea where the playlist goes? It isn't in the folder. The script seems to work well if I choose the other selection. Do you know what is happening?

Also what is Root folder for? And the only tagging selections available are <Artist> <Album> <Year>? I can use <Folder>? Thanks in advance.
