Settings not processing Options

[Eiron Page]

I had to strip my computer and reinstall everything. In doing so I lost my previous settings, which were awesome. They displayed something like:

"Artist - Title [Album (if available), Year (if available)] (Length)"

It worked before, but I'm not sure how I would get it to do it again. This is immaterial, however as now no matter what I change the settings all I'm getting is:

"Artist - Title [Album]."

What am I doing wrong? I really like this plug-in and would like very much if it would do what I ask it to again. I am working with Vista, but despite having tried running all elements of the programme (including Media Monkey, which I am trying to make it work with) in Administrator mode, it is still the same story.

Best,
Eiron.

Maybe AMIP has no access to plugin.ini file due to some permissions issue? The defaults are built-in, so if plugin.ini cannot be read, the defaults are used.

Try running your player as administrator or change file permissions.

I have tried running MediaMonkey as administrator, running AMIP configurator as administrator, changing the location of the plugin.ini file. I shall try again tomorrow, running all the installers and everything else as administrator and let you know what comes about. Thank you for your help so far.

Right, it took me a while, due to computer problems either end of a holiday, but I have formatted my computer. I edited the AMIP configuration before putting the DLLs and so on into MediaMonkey. Interestingly, it picked up the changes I made prior to installation. But these are wrong, so I go to change them, but no changes made subsequent to the full installation work. Furthermore, removing the installation from the MediaMonkey folder and reinstalling also doesn't work (complete uninstall - removing all apparantly MM-related folders in the Application Data folders too).

Where does this program store its initial set-up? It must go somewhere.

EDIT: While we're at it, here's what I'm trying to implement. Might as well find out where I'm going wrong - I have implemented the following:

Now Playing: %name %?4<[%4~%?5<, %5] |] >|%?5<[%5] |>(%min:%sec)$if($next(%name),$next( \|\| Next song: %name),)

The idea is for it to look something like:

Now Playing: Artist - Title [Album, Year] (Length) || Next song: Artist2 - Title2

Have I gone crazy wrong somewhere in that mess?

EDIT2: Alternative could be this:

%name $if(%4,[%4$if(%5,\, %5] ,] ),$if(%5,[%5] ,)(%min:%sec)$if($next(%name),$next( || Next song: %name),)

I want to be sure this will work, as it appears unless somebody can work out why it should be the case and tell me how to kill the phantom configuration, I will have to format my computer again before being stuck with the next one.
