Ok, I'm not sure what's wrong then. The download link at the top of the page gives me version 0.50 .

ok found the error turns out if you use a DAP program it sometimes trying to use old links. had to right click and tell it to recheck the link with dap so now i have the right file

I have extracted this and ran the script it built my files when I use /plugins load Songbook it says unable to load songbook. What am I doing wrong?

Chiran

Is there any other error in chat window? If it just says unable to load, it sounds like it's already loaded. Hm, that's weird. Are you using a plugin manager?

Found the issue. I needed to reload the game client

Oh right, if you copied the plugin while the game was running. Typing /plugins refresh might do the trick too.

I get the error:

every time i try to load it in-game. i went back and erased all the previous data files from /plugindata and still the same issue. not sure what the problem is?

Balgosa

Thinking that maybe it was having issues with a certain song, I tried moving all songs but two out of the directory. the error ingame changed to this now:
I'll keep troubleshooting and see if i can find out what is the problem.

Balgosa

ok found out the issue. If you have over 600 songs it can't parse that many lines. I got up to 600 songs before it errored out. Tried different song combos too so it wasn't the files themselves.

This is the error I'm getting:



You said something about case-sensitivity in the Target field... does it perhaps matter that my LOTRO username is lowercase?

Cithryth if you haven't gotten the Songbook.vbs to work, try entering it like this:
...songbook.vbs" Cithryth "C:\Users\Cithryth\Documents"
that assumes that your My Documents folder is at the above location, if its different just change the "C:\Users\Cithryth\Documents" to where ever your My Documents folder is.

And I'm not sure it should make a difference but it wouldn't work for me without adding the " 's.

Thanks for troubleshooting this! One definite problem is the empty root folder, I have a fix for it now. However, there's probably something fishy going on with the number of files too which is a bit more complex as it has been tested with more than 600. I will have to investigate that a bit more before putting out a bugfix release.

Ok, I made version 0.51. Should be downloadable soon. Seems like the bug you mentioned is more elusive and I wanted to get a fix up there for the other one.

I did test a library with many directories, two of which had over 1600 songs and root was one of those. So it doesn't seem to be the size only. I do know that LUA doesn't do well with filenames that have special characters like accents. But that shouldn't stop the plugin from loading, however those specific songs might not play.

Hmm ... with the latest version, regenerated the song list and now the message "\Songbook\SongbookWindow.lua:21: Unable to parse file!" when I try to load the addon.

I've tried deleting the plugin data files and regenating them, but no luck.

Chiran

This probably happens when something nasty gets into the database file and the plugin cannot load it. If you want to troubleshoot it, you can try running the script first with only few .abc files in Music directory and also observe what the SongbookData.plugin file contains after running the script. Will continue to investigate this as well.

I've also planning to build a nicer, 'real' user interface for the script.

I am running windows 7, 64-bit. I followed all of your instructions for download and generating the songbook using the vbs which appeared to work fine. When I try to load the songbook plugin in the game, I get the following error message which I have not seen elsewhere on this thread. "Unable to resolve packge "Chiran.Songbook.Main" , Unable to load Songbook."

Any ideas what could be going wrong here? Your Songbook plugin (.51) is listed in the /plugins refresh and /plugins list .

I noticed some posters had to use a different vbs file for differents OS's, could that be it? Thanks!
