Music Plugin Beta

No nothing new. I am tracking down a bug in the edit tag popup, when you select left or right to switch genres. It doesn't exist with blue so it is something I did.

Hi MixMan, that fixed some of the holes but I still see empty directories in folder view which I can really explain, here is an example

Code:

2008-10-22 17:46:35.569    VERBOSE    [6]    Folder change to C:\mp3\A1\smoke
2008-10-22 17:46:35.570    VERBOSE    [6]    ::MUSIC.DLL - Check if any files in folder C:\mp3\A1\smoke
2008-10-22 17:46:35.571    VERBOSE    [6]    ::MUSIC.DLL - Folder C:\mp3\A1\smoke contains 0 files!

Finally I understood what you where trying to say Martin. Fantastic that I didn't see the bug myself (had no folders with only one file in). Had some problems with length properties (0 or 1) in the getFolderAndFiles method :o

Now it's sorted out and I mailed it to MixMan so he can publish it.

I downloaded MusicIP. But it hanged when it was trying to index my 28000 music files. So I never got it working.
As I understand it generates playlists M3U files from you mood?
So the function you would like see is import of playlists?

yes, exactly.

I have 20000 tracks and it does takes a while to analyse them the first time.

Once this has been done, it can create an m3u playlist of tracks that sound similar in style to the seed track that you select. So as I understand it, you pass a track name to the web service (that runs on your pc) and it will pass back an m3u list.

MusicDLL 0.0.0.55

This is a updated Music.dll, pleasee first download and install the 0.53 from the wiki page. Then download and replace the Music.dll with this one. (MixMan had already uploaded to Wiki and had to go now so he asked me to put just the dll here)

0.0.0.55
--------
- Fix so Artist/Album and Genre view sorts the songs after Artist, Album and Track number.
- Fix for folders with only one file/song showing 0 files. This in Folder View.

Thanks that did it. I know some people create one big FLAC or mp3 file and use a cue file to play it so this may be of value for them.

Now there's just the keypad and alpha's and I can go away... happy.

MixMan, BekKen, I've tracked this down to a bug in the plugin. If you use images for the list items instead of "DrawRoundedRect" code, the plugin crashes when you try to edit genres.

This is the relevent part of the PopupEditTags.xml file.

Code:

        <!-- InputMenuButtons -->
        <CompositeImage name="EditTagsListNormal" size="70,5.0">
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]        <!--
            <DrawRoundedRect loc="2,2" size="100,80" fillColor="Black" borderColor="Black" radius="2" borderWidth="1"/>
         <DrawCommonImage name="ListViewNormalItemBackground"/> -->[/COLOR]
            <DrawText text="@name" loc="4,0" size="100,100" textStyle="GeneralTextHeaderStyle" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
            <DrawText text="@item" loc="20,0" size="80,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
        </CompositeImage>

        <CompositeImage name="EditTagsListSelected" size="70,5.0">
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]        <DrawRoundedRect loc="3,2" size="90,80" fillColor="Green" borderColor="Green" radius="1" borderWidth="1"/>
        <!--      <DrawCommonImage name="ListViewSelectedItemBackground"/> -->[/COLOR]
            <DrawText text="@name" loc="4,0" size="100,100" textStyle="GeneralTextHeaderStyle" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
            <DrawText text="@item" loc="20,0" size="80,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
            <DrawText text="@arrows" loc="4,0" size="85,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Right" valign="Center"/>
        </CompositeImage>

        <CompositeImage name="EditTagsListSelectedInactive" size="70,5.0">
[COLOR="SeaGreen"]        <!--
        <DrawRoundedRect loc="2,2" size="100,80" fillColor="Black" borderColor="Black" radius="2" borderWidth="1"/>
            <DrawCommonImage name="ListViewSelectedInactiveItemBackground"/> -->[/COLOR]
            <DrawText text="@name" loc="4,0" size="100,100" textStyle="GeneralTextHeaderStyle" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
            <DrawText text="@item" loc="20,0" size="50,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
        </CompositeImage>

It doesn't matter which one of these I change to "DrawImage" or "DrawCommonImage", I get the same results. It looks like you may be aware of it since those methods are commented out.

This code will reproduce the crash.

Code:

        <!-- InputMenuButtons -->
        <CompositeImage name="EditTagsListNormal" size="70,5.0">
         <DrawCommonImage name="ListViewNormalItemBackground"/>
            <DrawText text="@name" loc="4,0" size="100,100" textStyle="GeneralTextHeaderStyle" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
            <DrawText text="@item" loc="20,0" size="80,100" textStyle="GeneralTextStyle" align="Left" valign="Center"/>
        </CompositeImage>

Is there anyway of getting .m4a files to show up in the plug in? I would hate to have convert 5000+ music files to .mp3 :eek:

Thanks,

Right you are. I doesn't work to have a bitmap on Genre select, the popup will crash then. We'll have a look at this.

Seems not to be a very popular format. Only 12 pages at TPB for m4a.
Anyway implementation is in the todo list.

Is there anyway of getting .m4a files to show up in the plug in? I would hate to have convert 5000+ music files to .mp3 :eek:

Thanks,
Matt

Happy you shall be some day. Bekken said that he will give it a try.

Thanks that did it. I know some people create one big FLAC or mp3 file and use a cue file to play it so this may be of value for them.

Now there's just the keypad and alpha's and I can go away... happy.
