Thank you , always use your script!

glad to be useful

а можно скрипт паправит так, штоб с начала брал инфо с поля REMIXED BY, а потом (если инфо нет) уже с ALBUM ARTIST ?

мне как то правилнее если у песни дапустим ABBA (remix от TIESTO) паказывал дискографию TIESTO

Violation TOS  #10 (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,3974.html#post_tos10). You must post in English.

sorry, can you delete my message (i translate with google) ?

Is it possible to adjust the script so that at the beginning it will be taken info from the REMIXED field, then (if there is no information) from the ALBUM ARTIST field?
It seems to me more logical, for example: the song ABBA remixed TIESTO, so better that the TIESTO discography is displayed.

THANK YOU for answer.

@kgena_ua

can't get album-review
(old bio-tool gets album-review)
language: english
changed to album: most popular or release date - nothing found

i'm using foo_jscript-panel 1.3.0 and
your tool 06102917

please have a look at it,
thx

@lender1257,

I think you have not deleted the old data from the folder " ...\tmp_Biography".

(do not delete folder "_download")

this is a complete fresh installation of your tool
my settings:
http://de.tinypic.com/r/2450im8/9
http://de.tinypic.com/r/30x9bns/9

I'll check it at home

hi

can you please also implement a remap-field for %artist%?
owing to different spellings

thx

@lender1257

I do not even know. I checked it with foo_jscript_panel-v1.3.0.
Works good
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

hi

thanks for checking.

in the video your script shows in line 1811 "var btn=WshShell ... Foobar 2000 ..."
in my downloaded script (version: 06102017 feature: v1.4) there isn't such a line
my script ends with line 1786

if i change to "similar artists" always "text not found"

any idea what i have done wrong or did i grab the wrong sript ?

@kgena_ua

error found; it was my mistake, changed parameter "download limit" to zero
                   i thought concerned pics only

script works

feature request: album-review of playing %album%
                         remap-field %artist%

thx

All right, the script ends on line 1786.
I additionally wrote a function for deleting empty folders and testing it now.

hi

are you planning to expand your script like wrote in post #18 ?

@lender1257,

You mean to add a search for an %artist% - %album%  that is playing or currently selected

hi
kgena_ua

yeah, double-click on panel changes from "bio %artist%" to "album-review %artist% + %album%" and reverse.
if not possible, then an extra script

first, a way to overwrite %artist% (remap %artist%) would be very good. with this you could correct different spellings.

thx

Hi
kgena_ua,
Thank you very much. I have used this script,It is very helpful to get the music's information.
But it has some little problems:
1)It omit some special charactors,like as "*,/,.". It will be much better to change these charactors to '_'.
2) It cann't fetch the playing music's album cover.(Not the artist's pop album)
3) When you change the music quckily,it will get wrong images.(settings:prefer now plaing)
4)  It will be much better if it can set these parameters: the dowloaded image path(default: tmp_Biography) ; the artist's images's suffix（_?_images）;the  album's images(eg.: $if(%album artist%,%album artist% - %album%,%filename_ext%)
Could you please fix these problems? I find this script is the best than others so far.
 :))
Have a good day!

@kgena_ua

really great script !!!

if you include "album review" in the context menu, please change in properties,"default img path" to "default img path bio" and allow a new path for "album review" (default img path album review).
so that 2 different images can be displayed if nothing is found.

thx

Hi.
Unable to create folder "tmp_Biography" - permision denied.

hi kgena_ua

no chance to get version 15.12.2017 running

updating from old to new script --> crash

new installation:
i have deleted jscript- and wsh-panel totally; deleted tmp_Biography
inserted jscript-panel new with script from 15.12.2017 --> crash, same error as described.

when i delete tmp_biography and i start foobar without playing music (stop), tmp_biography and the bio of the last played %artist% will be allocated automatically.

hope you can help

@kgena_ua

i have found an error in your script 15.12.2017
changed it, and now new version is doing fine

changed red marked field from old to new

@kgena_ua

another crash with version 15.12.2017
field "priny" not defined; line 1613 - at a change of the %artist%
could it be that this should be "print" ???

please have a look on it
thanks

@kgena_ua
please have a look on it
thanks

lender1257, this is not a mistake, it's my inattention. Thanks.

hi kgena-ua

I assume it's print. (I don't know this programming language.)
I like your script very much.
what i'm missing is a remap-field for %artist% in properties.
this field should be very long and fillable with titleformatting script. so that every user can enter what he wants.
I myself have almost 800 different %artist% and last-fm doesn't always save as I do it.
the result should then be used to search as %artist%.
I hope you can make this possible. then the script would be perfect, for me.

best regards

@kgena_ua

another please:
please include a refresh-function in your script. (delete folder and new download)
to fix download-errors

thanks

this is for you - for great work

Thank.

what i'm missing is a remap-field for %artist% in properties.
this field should be very long and fillable with titleformatting script. so that every user can enter what he wants.........

if I understand correctly you want to be able to, for example through a dialog box, enter the name of the artist.

hi

1) maybe in properties a new line named "remap artist". (very large)
in this field i will enter with titleformatting script, all changes of my %artist%-tags, so last.fm will find the text.
if "remap-field" not is space search with this new "remap-field" as %artist%, in all other cases with %artist%.
for example:
$if($or($strcmp(%artist%,'ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND'),$strcmp(%artist%,'ALAN PARSONS PROJECT'),$insert(%artist%,'THE ',0),),)$replace(%artist%,'CHRIS FARLOWE & THE HILL','CHRIS FARLOWE WITH THE HILL')$replace(%artist%,'YUSUF','CAT STEVENS')
means:
my tag                                  result in remap-field (should be like in last.fm)
ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND     THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND
ALAN PARSONS PROJECT       THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT
CHRIS FARLOWE & THE HILL   CHRIS FARLOWE WITH THE HILL
YUSUF                                  CAT STEVENS

2) refresh function (maybe under "delete empty folders")

thx
 

for example:
$if($or($strcmp(%artist%,'ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND'),$strcmp(%artist%,'ALAN PARSONS PROJECT'),$insert(%artist%,'THE ',0),),)$replace(%artist%,'CHRIS FARLOWE & THE HILL','CHRIS FARLOWE WITH THE HILL')$replace(%artist%,'YUSUF','CAT STEVENS')
means:
my tag                                  result in remap-field (should be like in last.fm)
ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND     THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND

hi

maybe remap %album% (i don't use it) could be useful for other people

hi
script crashes when using jscript 1.3.2.2
getcolour should be getcolor (9 times)

Thank you for all of your hard work, kgena_ua. This component is one of my favorites! Also, I'm not sure where to post bug reports but I hope its alright to post the fix here. If there is no active internet connection and the biography is not cached, then a crash occurs. Here is a screenshot of the error:

The fix was to replace this line (around line 549, use control+f to search):

if (this.xmlhttp != null && this.func != null) {if (this.xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {if (this.xmlhttp.status == 200) this.func(); else {this.on_search_done_callback(artist, list, done, handles);}}}

with this line:

    
this.on_state_change = function() {
	if (this.xmlhttp != null && this.func != null) {
		if (this.xmlhttp.readyState == 4) {
			if (this.xmlhttp.status == 200) {
				this.func(); 
			} else {
				if (this.on_search_done_callback != null) {
					this.on_search_done_callback(artist, list, done, handles);
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

Now, the null check prevents the script from crashing and instead displays placeholder text. Attached are images of each event. Also, GetColour() works on the current version of JScript Panel. That error only affects older versions.

It seems that this report concerns JScript Biography 0.9.0.2 (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,112913.msg952419.html#msg952419), and would have been best put in the discussion thread (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,112914.0.html) dedicated to that. Not to worry, I'll try and fix it for the next version. However, it's not actually currently obvious to me why your fix worked, since the callback is defined (line 542) as it's sent to the master function (line 541). I couldn't seem to reproduce the issue. Anyway I'll think about it further. Line 549 in the release version is also just a "}" and not an object and so I would like to be sure that the issue occurs with the script in a completely unmodified state. Please post any further discussion here (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,112914.0.html).

Thanks for the report.

Hello,
kgena_ua,
I have used the newest script. Could you please make some changes for more better?
1)one special character,like dot ".". It can not be changed to dot"."(keep the same).
2)It can  not set the path of the  album's images in one seperate directory.(named as %album artist% - %album%)
3) I don't need some information for XXX_the _artist_info.ini.(except:external_links,born)
I wish you make this to be the one best excellent script tool.
Thank you very much.
 :)   ;D  :))   :D

And 4) if the search information is empty,don't create this artist's folder.(add a property like as setting:  "remap artist").Thanks. ;D

Hello, I found that "remap artist" and "Unkown Artist"(no information) can be one function.(Add a fuction button "remap"- "remap to Unkown Artist and delete the folder"(like black list)). By the way,some artists have no other language's translation.(like as no information)(It will be much better to fetch the correct language information automatily.)

hikaze,
I will think

Hi there!
@kgena_ua,
Please add the lock mode with the "lock" button on the script field window. Because sometimes a song ends (image and text change) before you have time to read the text and view the images (for example when listening to internet radio).
It would also be nice to add a mode of fixed separation of text and image excluding overlay.

Thanks for this great script!

Hi there!

Very interesting.
As you see it. Menu item, hotkey or something else. How to call this feature. How should this work.

Conveniently if it would be the "Lock" button as shown at the picture (highlighted in red).
If the user clicks on the "Lock" button, mode is on - when the music track and the artist change, but the picture and text do not change, they remain for the previous track and artist.
If the user clicks on the "Lock" button again, mode is off and the script continues to work as usual.

Thank you!

Hello,This script took a long time to load.(more than 8s, sometimes > 30s).(Some reason is that I used 2 script in Panel.)
I think this script need to speed up the load speed.It used too many function clean(). Sorry,I don't much more ability to improve with it. I'm a new learner.

- menu item "Hisory" - view previously downloaded data if it is stored in the tmp_Biography folder (by default).

Saved data reload.
