There is a small bug coming up in line 85 misspelled variable "oniFile".

Thanks for the new option!

I have 2 requests for this script

1. An option to select in which node (MagicNodes included) a song must be located.
2. A button or assigning a hotkey to jump to the now playing song in the selected node, instead of automaticly jumping when the song changes

I need to repeat something to prevent further confusion - this script has two main parts, the first one which find the folder in the tree panel that contains the currently playing track and the second part which find that track in the main tracklist. So, if you mean about the first part, i.e. if you want to find specific folder with the currently playing track within the Magic Nodes' node, it is not possible. Well, it would be possible, but it could last forever since this script should traverse to all sub-folders of the Magic Nodes' node and to check if playing track is contained into its tracklist. Same thing is with many other nodes which content is ambiguous, e.g. Library, Classification, Files to Edit, Playlists... I explained that before on the example with the Library node. Finding containing folder inside of the Location or My Computer nodes is possible only because there is unique way for that by parsing of the Path of the playing track.

Now, if you mean on the second mentioned part which find track in the tracklist, you could already do that - just select the wanted node, e.g. some sub-node of the Magic Nodes, and this script will find currently playing track in the displayed tracklist. Of course, you first need to select the option "Select track in currently displayed main tracklist" in the Options dialog box.

The MM program already has a possibility to define hotkey to jump to the currently playing track inside of the selected (current) node. However, if you want manually to find folder which contains currently playing track within Location or My Computer nodes (and to find that track in the tracklist), you could use this add-on and the button on the Shortcut toolbar "Toggle finding of currently playing track" - just click it twice (turn it on, then turn it off).

Hi folks,

Many thanks for your programming effort, I am getting close to what I am looking for :lol: .
I am using the lastes version of MediaMonkey and are looking desparetely for this function:

Scenario:
MM is in album art view. I douple click an album - it starts to play.
Now I scroll around, looking for other albums: The currently playing album is scrolled off the screen:

What I am looking for:
Any function that selects the currently playing album (possible so far) AND scrolls it up/ down the visible sceen.

Any idea if this can be achieved?

Many thanks,
Christian

Have you tried the "Focus tracklist on currently playing item" hotkey (Tools / Options / General / Hotkeys)? You could also try that with this add-on - just click twice on its toolbar button ("Toggle finding of currently playing track").

Thanks for these hints, but nothing happens in both cases.
By now I start to get the feeling that this functionalty does not exist at all.
What I don't understand is, that I read of people having thousands of albums. How the hell do these guys scroll quickly to the playing album?
Maybe one day there will be a big red button with this function - one click and boomshakkalala the window starts scrolling and stopps with the beloved album in the focus!
Definitely my xmas wish for next year!!

Have a great time guys,
Christian

Well, with this add-on it happens something at least - the album is actually selected, but it is not scrolled into the view, so you could press the Up key and immediately after that the Down key and you would get displayed the played album. This is a bug of the MM program itself, reported here: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5970, but it is resolved in the current 4.0 version.

I just tried this addon and it kind of works, but is unusable for for very large collections, like 100k songs. Every time the song changes it will lock up the whole program for about 60 seconds.

Thanks for the report, although I cannot believe that you are getting the unresponsive program for 60 seconds every time when the song changes, even with 100k Library. Anyway, I have modified it a little bit and I hope that it would be better now: v1.1.3 - 2011-06-15
