Unable to use in other drives

[jojo2357]

What line does the program stop executing on? If you know how, please add print statements and let me know what the absolute directory is. Is there any other strange hardware setup that may be preventing this from working? Does it work on a different drive or none of your drives?

[Anfeket]

Ok, I'll try adding the print statements (did you mean echo? I'll try adding those) and about the location. It's on my 3rd E: drive (C: Windows, D: and E: as my game/personal storage). I don't think I have anything special set up tho. Didn't try it on D: since I don't really use it, it serves as backup. But after trying it worked on my C: drive so I think the problem is that it's trying to find groove on my E: drive where I'm running it from. I'll reply again when I get home and add the prints.

I think the problem is that it's trying to find groove on my E: drive where I'm running it from. I'll reply again when I get home and add the prints.

I have MusicBee running on my D: drive (not my system drive) and it links just fine so it could be your filepath. I'd say give the full file path (you can cut your username out if you want) as @jojo2357 said previously.

So, I have the app at E:\Iné veci\Groovy DcRp (README.MD and other directories are here). Also added these lines to the linker:

echo 1
set directory=%~dp0
echo 2
Pushd %directory%
echo 3

set "params=%*"
echo 4
cd /d "%~dp0" && ( if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ) && fsutil dirty query %systemdrive% 1>nul 2>nul || (  echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) : UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/k cd ""%~sdp0"" && %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" && "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" && exit /B )
echo 5

echo I need to find the location of groove music on your computer, and the easiest way to do that is to open it and see where it came from
echo 6

looks like after few tests (it started asking for admin perms too fast) it stops at 4, then if I give it admin then it just prints this:

OH NEVERMIND, I just ran the linker itself with admin perms and it got to the linking process. I'm a genius.
nvm, after continuing it gave this:

rough translation: file system error (errorcode) then this:

then it just closed, not sure what is the problem then. I also recommend making the linker start with admin perms.
After trying to link with Music_drp_launcher.bat it has made the scheduled tasks but didn't show the RP on discord and the drp shows this:

tried with groove open and closed, linked and unlinked, same response.
That's all I could do to help, gotta make up for my sleep deprivation from the school days.

[jojo2357]

Okay so a few things.

The line cd /d "%~dp0" && ( if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ) && fsutil dirty query %systemdrive% 1>nul 2>nul || ( echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) : UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/k cd ""%~sdp0"" && %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" && "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" && exit /B ) is supposed to ask for admin perms so your recommendation is already there, however if there is a filesystem issue then it wont work which it appears there are.

The "Detected volume` message just means nothing is playing in groove so unless something was playing, I wouldnt be concerned.

So i went back and I guess u can try this less awesome groove finder (replace your FindGroove.bat):

set directory=%~dp0
Pushd %directory%

set "params=%*"
cd /d "%~dp0" && ( if exist "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" ) && fsutil dirty query %systemdrive% 1>nul 2>nul || (  echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^) : UAC.ShellExecute "cmd.exe", "/k cd ""%~sdp0"" && %~s0 %params%", "", "runas", 1 >> "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" && "%temp%\getadmin.vbs" && exit /B )

echo I need to find the location of Groove on your computer, and the easiest way to do that is to open it and see where it came from

)

taskkill /im Music.UI.exe 1>nul 2>nul

findstr /i "Music.UI.exe" openedfiles.dat>filelocation.dat

set /p loc=<filelocation.dat

echo Groove is at %loc:~19%

set /a "result=%result%-19"

call set parsed=%loc:~19%

rem debug echo %parsed%

set /p fgiddle=<fdoogle.dat

>filelocation.dat (
echo|set /p="%parsed%%fgiddle%"
)

taskkill /im Music.UI.exe 1>nul 2>nul

del openedfiles.dat 1>nul 2>nul

if "%parsed%"=="~19" (
echo TASK FAILED. please run me again and make sure that Groove is closed when you start me.
) else (
echo task completed. Please close Grooveidk y it didnt close on its own
)

pause

That will link the same way musicbee does which requires some more user input :/. If that works then ill look into some possible changes but not exactly sure if it will in fact work

So after running your version of the linker I got to this (opened without admin):

then it asked for admin and did this:

Not sure what it did but here it is.

After opening the linker with admin it did this:

Then this after opening and closing Groove several times, I think it found it.
After using the linker it linked Groove, there weren't any problems except I had to run it with admin perms.
Had the same problem as here:

After closing Groove (I ran the linker with Groove open) I got this when it closed:

It's probably a bug since I have an é in the path and it didn't save properly. (It didn't) After looking at LinkWithGroove.xml I found this:

I have unlinked Groove (had the same problems without admin perms) and it changed the path back to In, veci so I fixed it again.
After linking and checking the path in the task scheduler and during writing this sentence I got this:

Didn't even open or close Groove, not sure what triggered it. I have fixed the path directly in the task scheduler.
Also, after fixing it I noticed it didn't save it with quotation marks so that could be a problem for paths with a space in them.
It didn't run automatically but after running RunHidden.vbs manually it worked and showed on Discord.
Also after closing Groove, I had to choose what to open something with, I suppose it was KillHidden.vbs so I closed the popup and did it manually. Also added run with highest privileges to make sure it would work.
After opening Groove it asked again what to open with even though I don't know what.
I looked on the internet about the problem and probably found a solution here and followed the steps.
It worked though but it wasn't hidden anymore so I found a better solution here.
Works like a charm.

Here's a small rundown:

• Updated the finder - previous reply
• linker used the wrong path - é wasn't saved properly
• scheduled task couldn't open the .vbs files - used wscript.exe with arguments
  It works well now, the only thing I recommend is replacing the task scheduler files (LinkWithGrooveOpen/Close.xml) to save it with wscript.exe and the Groove location as arguments and support for characters like é but that was probably a bug on my side.
  The finder could probably be replaced with this one but made a bit more user-friendly. At least it works now. Thanks for helping though, this project is pretty cool. Hope it works well!

Awaiting another user to have this error since I cannot replicate and will take a lot of effort to fix. Closing for now since there are workarounds
