WSH Panel Mod script discussion/help. Options

1) can't reproduce.

screenshot

the line you reference is completely unrelated so you must be using a slightly outdated version. next time, can you post what code is on the line you mention.

all i can suggest for now is to browse your foobar profile\wsh_lastfm folder in windows explorer and search for and delete all .json files. this will clear all cached files and force a fresh download.

2) i think perhaps you've customised your context menu to hide the playback statistics\rating entries?? you can leave those settings as they are as i can get around that.

I deleted the .json files and it doesn't crash anymore.

And the rating feature works just fine now with that update. Thank you!

marc2003: the "open image" menu item in your thumbs script has stopped working.

didn't double-click used to open the image too?



thanks for your efforts, i appreciate the work you do and the scripts you share for the foobar2000 community!

[marc2003]

with my old scripts, a single click used to open the main image. with these updated versions, it now requires a double click. the context menu is working fine for me so it should be working as you expect???

the only instance where double clicking does not work is in grid mode and you have an image overlaid on top of the background thumbnails. because that requires a single click to "close" the image, i've disabled the double click action there.

edit: thinking about it, something may have gone wrong with the file associations on your system. all my script does is launch the full path of the file and it's upto windows to decide what program to use based on the file extension. i'd look into that if i was you.

Thanks for the comments. Nothing wrong with file associations. Images open as expected in explorer and elsewhere.

Open containing folder works in the context menu, and I can open images from there.

[marc2003]

you can browse the marc2003 folder and edit common6.js in a text editor.

on line 798, replace

CODE

    this.run = function(command) {
        try {
            this.WshShell.Run(command);
        } catch(err) {
        }
    }

with

CODE

    this.run = function(command) {
            this.WshShell.Run(command);
    }

see what error you get after saving it and reloading the panel. i'd restore the previous function when done testing as well.

i think i forgot to handle paths with spaces in, try this.

CODE

    this.run = function(command) {
        try {
            this.WshShell.Run("\"" + command + "\"");
        } catch(err) {

Working, thanks for the fix

[morphguy12]

Hey marc, definitely loving your samples!
Just have a quick questions, where would I start if I wanted to attach similar artists' pictures next to the names on your panel? I would ultimately like it to auto download them as well like your nowplaying panel too.

Definitely appreciate any input / help... I'll do the dirty work, I just wanted to pick your brain.
Thanks!!!

[marc2003]

i really don't want to encourage hitting last.fm for loads of artists at once. they've already removed documentation from their api for the artist.getimages method. it still works for now but it's not too encouraging for the future.

i'll explain how to access images you have cached already later. i don't have time right now.

samples updated: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22801321/samples.zip

there is now an Online update feature on the context menu. as my scripts all now use an external file for the main code, it can update this when triggered. you will be prompted to restart foobar2000 when the download is complete.

CODE

marc2003\common6.js

[morphguy12]

gotcha, thanks Marc, I wasn't aware of that.
I only need the top three similar artists though, so if that's too much of a load I'll try and just have it look in the wsh_lastfm folder.

Thanks again!

thumbs: bug fix, quite a serious one. all image related context menu items would not show if no images in folder.

if you're using a new version of my scripts (since 5th dec), you can use the Online update feature on the context menu to avoid downloading the full zip.

[MordredKLB]

If this doesn't exist already somewhere let me know and I'll write my own, but does anyone have a ContextMenu setup to do playlist rating?

I'm looking for something like this, but the "Library" menu doesn't have it built in:

[marc2003]

note for users of my playcount sync script: a "fix" i posted in this thread on the 5th december script broke the library import function. use the Online update option on the context menu to fix it.

[morphguy12]

Hey Marc anyway you've got an extra second to start me off for adding pictures to your similar artists code?
Also to limit the fetch to just 3 artists with their pictures?

Definitely appreciate any help!
Thanks!

[neothe0ne]

So does anyone know why the sample scripts MainMenuManager All-In-One.txt and MainMenuManager.txt do not always give you all the menu options? The "View" file menu especially cuts off at an arbitrary point somewhere in the middle.

@morphguy12, make sure you download the latest common6.js to your pc. use Online update on the context menu or extract from the full zip if you don't have that option.

i haven't tested this and also there is quite a major flaw with how i designed my original code for my image scripts. because the artist name source was always your file tags, the case didn't seem important as i thought it was something that isn't going to change. but downloading artist names from last.fm probably isn't going to match your tags 100% of the time.

in your simliar artist panel:

CODE

images = [];

function on_metadb_changed() {
    if (li.metadb_changed()) {
        //li.metadb returns true or false depending on whether the artist has changed. we don't want to update if the artist hasn't changed.
        images = [];
        files = [];
        for (i = 0; i < Math.min(3, li.items); i++) {
            files[i] = [];
            var folder = p.data_folder + p.eval("$crc32(" + li.names[i] + ")");
            if (p.fso.FolderExists(folder)) files[i] = files[i].concat(utils.Glob(folder + "\\*.jpg").toArray(), utils.Glob(folder + "\\*.jpeg").toArray(), utils.Glob(folder + "\\*.png").toArray(), utils.Glob(folder + "\\*.gif").toArray());
            if (p.fso.FileExists(files[0])) images[i] = gdi.Image(files[0]);
        }
        window.Repaint();
    }
}

then inside the on_paint function, you should have an array called images to use. images[0] being the first, images[1] the second and images[2] the third...

@neothe0ne, never had a problem with the menu not displaying properly.

Thanks so much Marc,
Unfortunately I can't get any images to show under paint no matter what kind of code I put in there,

I'll keep trying, but have any suggestions?

Thanks!!

[marc2003]

i'll try and test something over the next few days. the reason i didn't test before that is because i don't have any art to test with. i'm behind a proxy so i can't use the program i bundle with my script. i'll have to grab a few images manually.

there were loads of errors in that. i tested this one...

the placeholder for artists that don't have images should already be on your system as it's bundled in the zip. obviously this was a quick bodge - you can mess around with placement yourself.

[kaloian79]

I have one silly problem - i can't add user picture for genre in the script - now playing with last.fm bio. place help me. tenx.

[neothe0ne]

I want to create a button which runs a command from the Edit menu.
e.g., fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Edit/...");

I found plman.SetActivePlaylistContext(), however, I want to set the active focused playlist to a specific viewer. (I want it to select my SimPlaylist instead of my ElPlaylist). Is this possible?
