Bug Reports / Re: Musicbee program window is cut off by about 2 mm all-around after startup

« on: August 22, 2024, 08:41:34 AM »

Does this happen with -all- skins, or just certain ones? Have you tried the default skin?

Aha good suggestion to investigate. The result I found makes the bug even more subtle though. Because remember that the bug is twp-part: incorrect sizing and the taskbar not appearing any more when your cursor touches the bottom of the screen.

1. The wrong sizing happens on all skins I think, I tried the default one, a neutral one, a dark one and a blue one. This is with the "apply on window borders" turned on.
2. If turn the "apply on window borders" off, then the sizing is correct at startup! For all 4 skins as well. However, the dark one especially looks like crap then because the window border is bright white then.
3. Also, if it is turned off then the taskbar does never appear any more! In all 4 skins the program started up with the correct sizing but the taskbar did not appear when I put my cursor against the bottom of the screen. Even worse: toggling the fullscreen button does not fix it any more.

So, experiment conclusion:

1. If "apply on window borders" is turned on, startup size is incorrect and taskbar does not appear any more but this can be fixed by toggeling the fullscreen button.
2. If it is turned off, startup size is correct but taskbar does not appear any more and toggling the fullscreen butten does not fix it any more.

Since I would like to get to other programs without having to alt+tab out of Musicbee every time, having the skin not applied to the window border is even worse.

So when the taskbar is not automatically hidden, MusicBee's window size remains consistent (properly sized as expected)?

Yes, I just verified it again by fixing the taskbar in place, then Musicbee opens with the correct sizing.

How do other programs on your system behave under the same taskbar settings described in your post? Do they maintain their window size?

All the other programs function perfectly fine it seems, Musicbee is the only faulty one i noticed until now. I just verified with chrome, telegram, powerpoint, and steam and they all have the correct sizing.

Bug Reports / Musicbee program window is cut off by about 2 mm all-around after startup

« on: July 26, 2024, 02:04:32 PM »

When Windows 10 is set to automatically hide the taskbar, the Musicbee program windows is not properly sized after starting it up. It is cropped about 2 mm on all sides (you could say it is zoomed in). After toggling the fullscreen button the crop is gone as shown in these screenshots:

I wonder if it has something to do with where some button "anchors" are placed? It seems to crop until the closing "X" button is perfectly hitting the corner of my screen, so it loses the 2mm breathing room around it.

It's mainly annoying because it interferes with the mouse detection of Windows 10 to show the taskbar again. In the "zoomed in" startup mode of the program window the taskbar does not appear when I hit the bottom of my screen with the mouse cursor. After toggling to get rid of the zoom, the taskbar detection works again.

Questions / Re: Auto playlist on songtext filter not working any more

SongText being the lyrics?
Maybe try right clicking/ Send To/ Rescan Files for a few selected files and see if it behaves correctly for those files after that

Yes, normally if you filter on songtext having no value there can't be any lyrics included. The problem seems to be with songs with a specific format of lyrics that appear centered. Those lyrics from my original post seem to have extra text that appears when you try to edit them:

Questions / Auto playlist on songtext filter not working any more

« on: August 04, 2020, 09:17:26 AM »

So the day before yesterday my auto playlist for instrumental music which filters on the fact that there is no value in the tag "songtext" stopped working. As you can see below those settings worked for over a year and now suddenly it broke. That song with a songtext should not be allowed in the playlist. I have already done multiple rescans. Is this a known bug?

Then you'll need to make a wishlist request.

Although where are you looking for it under the track? It's possible to display performers separately, or make a virtual tag to display

I want it to stay like this:

Make your display artist whatever you want last.fm to receive.

Then I can't see who is involved written under the track. Not really an acceptable solution.

Questions / How to send Last.fm multiple artists and confusion about "display artist"

« on: January 02, 2020, 05:30:41 PM »

So this is the track I will you to demonstrate my problem:



The track is from Hiroyuki Sawano with 3 performers. I already added his name to the artist field myself as it wasn't there yet and split them like so:



However the track is still being sent to Last.fm as:

2/01/2020 18:10:04 - OK: Hiroyuki Sawano; Yosh, Gemie, mpi - Barricades

Last.fm won't recognise it as they know it without the three performers.Why isn't it just sending Hiroyuki Sawano as he is labeled as the only "artist"?

Any solutions to fix it?

Questions / Re: contrast lyrics section changes

« on: December 22, 2018, 08:09:23 AM »

Did that, still persisted with all the skins.

I found however that when i change the lyrics to 'selected number' instead of 'playing number' the contrast doesn't change. Does that hint to a solution? I would like to be able to set it on 'playing number' and be able to read it.

Questions / contrast lyrics section changes

« on: December 21, 2018, 04:50:38 PM »

Hey, newbie here.

When i start a song the contrast of the lyrics section drops making it very hard to read. I can't find the setting for it and the internet didn't bring any answers either. The first image is before hitting play, the second is while playing. The strange thing is that when i click on the lyrics section while the songs plays, it flashes back to the better contrast, but then the song just restarts and the contrast drops again.

Anybody know the cause and the solution?

Tnx!
