Title: When next track is a video, the video is not played automatically.
Post by: lamrongol on September 26, 2022, 11:33:24 PM

I noticed when next track is a video, the video is not played automatically unless pushing pause button(when playing music).
I confirmed this problem happens even all plugins are disabled.
I also noticed when playlist contains audio books, they are skipped.

I don't think this is a bug. Assuming you've set up an external video player via Preferences > Player > video player, videos have to be manually launched.

Hmm... So videos are not played automatically?
This post(  https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12302.msg74784#msg74784 ) says:

in the Plugin class Initialise() function:
about.Type = PluginType.VideoPlayer;

and create a function as follows:
        public bool PlayVideo(string[] urls)
        {
...your code
            return true;
        }


When MB detects that function in a plugin it will call it instead of invoking an external .exe

But when such a plugin is used, videos are not played automatically?

To the best of my knowledge they are not.

But you are the developer of the plugin you referenced, which if I read it correctly, allows continuous play of videos . If you're having problems with the API, you should post it as an additional reply on the MB API thread you referenced.

I am locking this thread as your post belongs with the API thread you referenced.
