Questions / Re: Musicbee Library files

« on: November 10, 2024, 12:54:07 PM »

im a noob so not really sure if thats what u need

That looks like the thumbnail browser. The navigator will pop up when you move your mouse all the way to the left edge. It shows things like Music, Inbox, and your playlists. It would be helpful to know which of those you're looking, because an empty library is a different problem than an empty playlist.

If you had organized files into playlists, those should still have the file info. In fact, even your library should still have the info. Did you get a prompt notifying you that MusicBee couldn't find the files?

yooooooooooo that worked turns out i was in a folder and since that folder was gone looking at the left side and jus hovering showed me the music at the top and bam got my list back


thanks a bunch for helping me out!
not sure how i can close this topic tho

I did do a lil research and thats kind of why i linked to another post that had what i needed
just wanted to know how i could replicate that

the music files are gone gone for sure they arent in the recycle bin too

wdym tho restore them from a backup?
if ur talkin legit backup well thats gone as i said i had 1000+ songs to go through and i didnt really do a backup as i wasnt done with them
soooooooo thats gone too
i just want the names of what i had in my library not the files themselves those i can get again but idk the names (already said that but yk)
just to be clear this aint a issue of the library
im in need of a way to do what that guy in the other forum post has on his musicbee
musicbee showing the songs (they're not there ik) but like hmm a "ghost"? of what i had before everything went to hell?
like the songs cant be played but he can see what he had like that pretty much

Questions / Musicbee Library files [Resolved]

« on: November 09, 2024, 02:20:56 PM »

so as u can see rn the library is empty
i had all my songs in those two folders on the right
but..
i accidentally deleted it and well its gone for good
now i was reading somewhere that apparently when things do get deleted u can see the files in the library but when u play it musicbee says to locate the song


https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=26060.0

for me as u already saw theres nothing
i just want to be able to look at all the songs i had and then with that i can at least try and get those songs back

i had to like go through 1000+ songs and find what i liked and then saved them on musicbee now that the whole thing is gone from there and musicbee aint showing me what i had before i cant go through all them songs again 1000+ is too much ngl
basically can i sumhow read the musicbee library file sumhow? or restore the list just names not the actual songs just need them names
i saw that it had sum sorta mbl file but ofc notepad cant open it
any help will be appreciated

bro im sure coding makes ur mind go poof sumtimes
umm another suggestion btw i got was that u could maybe make it so that the album and artist text take the album art colors?
and the background as well rn its jus a black screen right instead of that make it so that it blurs the album art and uses that as the background?
sorry if im jus piling stuff on ya rn
if i could lend a hand i certainly would but idk anything bout coding oof

ur version the album art looks hella strange and its like im looking at a 144pixel image the og album art im using is 640 so it should look better no?

I installed foobar and the coverflow plugin, it took me a way longer than it should to figure that one out......

I have some pretty terrible low quality album covers in my collection and they look just as bad in foobar as they do in 3DBee, likewise at the other end of the scale. The higher res covers look just as good in 3DBee as Foobar in the coverflow.

So I assume your issue is the jaggies that appear on the edges of the album covers when it moves around. Foobar moves quite quickly and stops abruptly whereas 3DBee slows to a crawl before stopping which really highlights the jaggies. I initially thought it was just the crappy album covers I have in my collection but it also happens with high res covers.

Looking at foobar's coverflow, they seem to have some decent antialiasing going on which I haven't really researched yet, I've tried a few simple options but they've done nothing so I've just worked on other things in the meantime. I'll take a closer look. Those jaggies have bothered me for a while, I've added an antialiasing option for the album/artist info in the next version but that wasn't as hard to implement as it will be for the covers.

Those other flow options are interesting but I'll probably put implementing them on a low priority unless someone specifically wants to use one of them.

the jaggies might be it but i more so notice the jaggies on the album art itself but yeah antialiasing i think shall fix it there is an option on the foobar equivalent called multisampling passes
2 other things could u maybe have the default foobar flow display thing as a flow option in musicbee? and an option to change how far the album art's are as in like maybe we could zoom in or sumthin rather than resizing the window itself?
thanks a bunch once again

I've got all the OpenGL code updated to modern methods. Stay in school kids, the maths involved with all this stuff is no joke.

So while I have how all this works fresh in my mind, is there any kind of flow someone wants that isn't included yet? If you can describe it in detail or better yet link to images/videos I should be able to implement it. I suspect most people are just using the basic cover flow but variety is always good. I did play around with a vertical flow but it didn't look that great and it reduces the space for the artist/album info.

I also considered maybe a side by side flow where it has the front of the cover on the left and the back of the cover on the right but I doubt too many people would have back cover images?

I've also fixed it so double clicking on the scrollbar doesn't start playing the album. A problem I introduced with the last version.

yoo man i rlly would like to use this plugin but i am not enjoying how it looks as in the quality theres no setting as well to change that specifically..
pardon my ignorance if u have said something about it in the earlier pages of this topic bascially i have tried foobar's version of coverflow and its rlllllly smooth and looks awesome when i scroll around in ur version the album art looks hella strange and its like im looking at a 144pixel image the og album art im using is 640 so it should look better no?
hopefully i explained properly only reason im using foobar rn is that this coverflow looks epic but i wanna use musicbee as it has proper discord presence support and the themes r good as well oh and u said about ppl giving ideas for how they want the coverflow to show that foobar coverflow plugin has sum like spiral and temple which look noice so maybe u can take inspiration from those?
thanks btw
