MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Disable Musicbee Volume Control Please
« on: May 22, 2015, 01:52:57 AM »
I was going to suggest you running MB in compatibility mode with Windows XP to get what you want. But i tried it and didn't work because MB seems to have implemented it's own volume control.
I did a test with 1by1, and when changing the volume inside the program, the slider of 1by1 in the windows mixer also moves proportionally. If were possible having that behavior in MB you could get what you want running it in compatibility mode.

@endeavour1934:
-Opening and saving those files with Paint.net will make things easier for the transparency of bitmap files win MB.

-In your pic of controls on Now Playing Panel http://i.imgur.com/hGR1cb2.jpg I think album and player controls would fit better at the bottom. Having the playlist on top of them. A small problem is that depending on the width of that panel, the player controls will go up or down, so maybe is more intuitive having them always on the bottom. But sure its a minor thing.

-I like the left fixed column of buttons, but depending on the button, it has autohide or not. I hope it keeps it simple and works well always, having autohide enabled or not.

@Steven:
-When a new user puts his music library in the hands of a new music player, he has the fear it could break his files and hours and hours of work on them while learning the new software. Now you have changed the way MB processes music in background, could be implemented a some safety measure to be sure no file will be modified by MB?

-How MB would handle locked files? Would stop the process of editing files in that moment or would move the problematic files to the end of the queue?

-The .lrc lyrics, the rewriting of them to unicode wich is breaking how minilyrics present them. Please don't rewrite the external lyrics when don't needed.

-One thing i find confussing is the Now playing playlist and the sorting of its elements. I think would be great redesigning it in the way that we would always see the actual queue. So if we start a queue sorted by filename but we change the sorting by played date, then the next file in queue after the playing one would be automatically the one we see in the screen (the following one by played date). I got the idea from 1by1, it's so simple and works really well

Questions / Re: Seeking advice
« on: April 24, 2014, 02:47:13 PM »
The first thing i would do is to sort all the library by the modification date, in detail view without grouping, and from there try to guess a pattern of what happenned and try to reverse it. Use also the tag inspector, analyse every tag there, if you used search and replace maybe numerical tags like year, release date, etc can be right and that could help to reduce the work involved.

Second, infer tags from filenames. Since now try to keep the path and filenames following a pattern like Album artist - Album name (year)\track number. (Artist -) track title

And of course from time to time, when there is some work involved, updade your backup.

Patience, and have luck (Y)

Questions / Re: Two songs playing at once?

No bass errors now, but i one small thing, i feel a difference in the throttling between moving to previous and moving to following tracks, like they are having different waiting times.
Backwards it goes well, responsive and no bass errors now, but for next tracks, two quickly presses get interpreted as only one.

These are my waiting times extracted from Autohotkey, which was not running while doing anterior tests for preventing interferences:

VK=Virtual Key, SC=Scan Code, Elapsed=Seconds since the previous event

Exactly, it's not doubling, just bass problems when i press at least two times quickly

Sure, here is the debug:

With the first MediaPreviousTrack x3 i got two songs playing at the same time, both playing/pausing together.
With the second one MediaPreviousTrack x3 i got two unable to start playback errors from bass: BASS_ERROR_HANDLE and BASS_OK

Questions / Re: Can ratings be synced FROM an android device?
« on: April 06, 2014, 05:26:27 PM »
I tested PlayerPro but any setting i tried the song files were not updated, so i suppose playerpro is storing these ratings in its internal library which can be exported to the pc in itunes or songbird xml format

I'm using an Asus laptop and from the days where i started with Autohotkey i remember there was a special thing about the FN key and it support from the BIOS.
This last fix is having the same behavior of the latest fix above posted.

BTW i encourage anyone using the mediakeys to test these changes, as i just came here for helping, i don't use to use the mediakeys, so now is the moment to test it while Steven is developing it.

@De.cayed, could you edit your first post and add to the title the word "Mediakey" for clarity? TIA

Nope, it doesn't happens when MB is not on focus. The problem is only when is on focus.

Running the the debug version. If it rings any bell, when pressing once the previous track media key when MB on focus, it uses to give me the error "Unable to start playback (error=BASS_ERROR_HANDLE)"

Errorlog from the debug version on focus and not on focus:
Code

63532396776149 - app command=12
63532396776151 - key down=MediaPreviousTrack


The proposed version for fixing it works better, but if i press for example three times the next track mediakey strange things happens, like some songs playing at the same time and not movig three tracks forward.

This is happening now to me too. I fixed the minilyrics plugin, so it was solved before, but with this update it does it twice doesn't matter if i close the Minilyrics plugin

EDIT: I disabled every plugin, restarted and still happens

11
As Steven pointed me in the following thread http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12452.msg75573 the rare problem i was having was because of the minilyrics plugin.

Why i put this here? Because it would be great also adding the ability of disabling all the plugins temporally in that wished musicbee's execution for testing

mmhh ok thanks Redwing. I did a test and see now i can't make a minimal settings file with my basic layout. I created a clean musicbeesetting.ini with <TabsInCaption>true</TabsInCaption> but MB says the settings file is corrupted

By the way, here goes a remind of a wish i posted when i was a child :D
Adding the option to the SHIFTED startup menu, the one which appears when you press shift key while clicking the icon to run MB,  to run it with the default settings temporally for making this bug hunting process easier.

Hi, many times i don't report bugs because i think it is something which happens only with my settings.

Is there an easy way of testing Musicbee with default settings? I don't want to make two different installations, I want to be sure nothing gets broken in my actual MusicBee installation. I use to update MB before reporting any bug.

Would be sufficient renaming MusicBeeSettings.ini from the appdata folder and after the testing restoring that file?
Or i should have to create a new MusicBeeSettings.ini with only some elements it? What elements should be?

TIA!
