I'd like to make a Launchy plugin to control MusicBee in a fairly specific way, and wanted to ask you if it would be possible to do with the utilization of your Musicbee listener. Launchy plugins can also be developed in Python, so it should be fairly simple - I'm just having trouble understanding your plugin, most likely because I only somewhat understand the Python portion and have no idea what's going on in the compiled dll.

I'd like to be able to type "musicbee <song title>" and scroll through the matches (this part I can handle). When I hit Enter on a match, I'd like for musicbee to queue this song next, then skip to the next track (so it plays the track I searched for). What would I need to include in my Python code to do these basic things?

Thanks for the awesome plugin and I appreciate any help you can give me!

I'm not sure if I understand correctly.
I think it would be possible to use EventGhost plugin (only C# part) for your purpose, but it would not be optimal.
I think MusicBeeIPC - Control MusicBee with Autohotkey, Python, Java, etc plugin is much better for you.

I do not understand your problem.
There is no need to set anything anywhere.
What version of the plugin and MusicBee you using?
I have the latest version MusicBee (2.4.5349) and EventGhost plugin version 0.0.13.0.
Now I've tried it and it works correctly.

Ye I have the latest versions but nothing shows up in eventghost when a sync finishes. Weird.

At this moment I can not find any explanation of how this is possible.
If I will have some idea, so I will tell it here.
At this point I would like to know if anyone else has the same problem.
Or vice versa, if all other users regularly received this event (like me).

Now I thought of something, but I believe that this is not the case ...
I suppose you have not checked the checkbox "Log only assigned and activated events" ?

Unfortunately musicbee crashes with the new version of the plugin on startup.

I am using a fresh windows 7 64bit installation. Is there anything else I need for your plugin to work?

thanks for your great work
cheers

I do not know what's wrong.
I have MusicBee version 2.5.5524.
I just downloaded and installed EventGhost plugin.
Everything works normally.
I have a 64 bit Windows 8.1.

I installed the 2.5.5524 version of musicbee and the plugin works without any problems.

I was using 2.4.5404 before and this version was causing the problem. You should probably mention this in your installer, because you still get the 2.4.5404 version of musicbee when you press the download button on the official page.

thanks for your quick reply

Thank you for the information.
But I'll do nothing for it.
It seems that soon will be released the official version 2.5 ...
