WritePlaying 1.2.0

What?

A Media Center plugin for writing the currently playing track to a text file.

WritePlaying can also change Media Center's Title Bar to display the currently playing track.

Why?

So that your email sig file tells people what song you're listening to! That's why I wrote it, but maybe you can think of other uses... a web page, etc.

Why would you want to change Media Center's Title Bar? So you can read what's playing on the Windows Taskbar without switching to Media Center (like Winamp).

What's New

Added Listening Scripts for added flexibility and multi-lingual support.
Removed on Media Center <version> checkbox, since users can add this themselves to their Listening Script.

WritePlaying can be downloaded here:

aTagger is available for download at http://atagger.auldridge.biz. If you already have v1.0.6 or later installed, press the [Check Now] button on the "Processing Options" tab to update automatically. The ReadMe for the current version of aTagger is available at http://atagger.auldridge.biz/downloads/ReadMe.txt.

aTagger is a freeware plug-in for JRiver's Media Center (http://www.jrmediacenter.com). The function of aTagger is to automatically update the Media Center audio files with Artist, Album, Year, Genre, Image, Rating, Styles, Tones, Type, Review and Parental Advisory information from online sources.

aTagger processes the files in a user selected playlist. For best performance, the files should be sorted by album. In order to store the Rating, Styles, Tones, Type, Review, and Parental Advisory data, the Media Center database must be updated (add the new Library Fields from Tools | Options... | Tree & View).

PvdImport

Personal Video Database (PVD) is a program which pulls metadata and posters for movies and TV shows from online sources (imdb, amg and others) - http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/

PvdImport helps in getting data from the PVD database into MC, allowing us to match PVD fields with fields in MC.

[Do a search on "PvdImport" in the forum to find the current download thread with a FAQ etc.]

o Install the plugin msi from here. On Vista/Win7, you probably should run the installer as Administrator.
o Install firebird 2.1.x server with default settings from here You need to install the version with desription "Windows executable installer for full Classic or Superserver, recommended for first-time users"
o Install PVD from here (There's a link called "Installer" there)

Image removed, referenced bad site

Main purpose of this is to look up the original track release year when that track belongs to part of some compilation album. Like having a best of released in 2011 of songs originally released some years earlier. Normally all tracks would get the best of release date.

The idea is to create a custom field in MC with a type of string. Create a playlist of songs you want to update. Export that list as either .mpl or delimited txt from within MC. You can then open that list inside this program and have it create track years for each track. It will then export that back into a mpl that can be imported back into MC, updating any fields that were updated during the search.

This uses discogs for the search.
During export from this program it allows you to select which fields you want to include in your new mpl file. At this time it's probably best not to select the Date Created, Date Modified or Date Imported field. MC uses unix style date-times and I currently only export each field as displayed. So if you were to update Date Imported field (not sure why you ever would) with a normal readable MM/DD/YY HH:MM AM/PM then include that field and import back into MC you Date Imported field in MC will be wrong. At some point I may add a conversion to the export for handles this but for now it doesn't... just a warning. Backup you database before making any changes.

This is an excel file using VBA. You must allow macros in excel.

House Band for Amazon Echo

Voice integration for JRiver and the Amazon Echo.

Short Demo Here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqBOaoEssN0

To enable the skill for your Echo:

http://echo.amazon.com/#skills/amzn1.echo-sdk-ams.app.746d3120-de6b-47ca-a132-746f5b57e609/activate

Supports full control (play, pause volume, skip) plus searching via artist, album, track, word string, or a combination of these.
"Alexa, play the song blood on the trackS by Bob Dylan"
"Alexa, what do I have by Bob Marley?"

House Band supports two basic kinds of search: loose and strict.

Loose searches are just key word searches.
"Alexa, play Fear of Music" will queue up all Albums/Songs/Artists matching the phrase "fear of music."

Strict searches are indicated by using words like "album," "songs", "track", "artist." They will constrain the search in the relevant way.

"Alexa, play the album Space Oddity"

will look for an album matching the search phrase. First, it will look for an exact match. If nothing comes up it will try to match any album with the words
"space oddity" in the title. In the case of multiple matches (e.g, "Space Oddity" and "Space Oddity [1995 Remaster]") Alexa will ask you which you'd like to play. You can then select by keyword, e.g.,

"Play the remaster"

will play the remastered version of the album.

Create Play doctor playlists:
"Alexa, create a playlist based on David Bowie."

Play playlists:
"Play my Desert Island playlist."
"Play the playlist mellow jazz."

Zone Support:

"Alexa, what are my zones?" or "What zones do I have?" etc
"Alexa, what's the current zone?"
"Alexa, change zone to living room."

Is House Band an Amazon App for the echo? If that's the case the question of will it work with JRiver running on a Mac is moot, no? I'm assuming House Band communicates with JR via an IP and a port number and doesn't matter if it points to a Mac or PC?

Thoughts anyone?
