Yes, I did a fresh install, but the problem persists.

Did this occur during normal playback or after you did something like editing/deleting a track?

I used the plugin before, but disbaled it in the Panels Configuration and I certainly edited/deleted some tracks.

I reproduced the error by starting musicbee enabling the plugin in Configure Layout -> Arrange Panels... Then I resized the panel and double clicked on a album cover. Playback starts. Then I switched to an other tab. When returning to the coverflow tab it was blank and the error message appeared. Playback continues. After restarting musicbee, the slides reappear, but after switching to an other tab, it is gone again and the error message appears again.

I expect I'll probably be dealing with the UPnP stuff for another week and then I'll focus on this.

Thanks! Take your time!

Plugins / Re: Rounded Artwork

« on: March 28, 2025, 11:07:57 PM »

This plugin seems great, but before I try it, I have some questions:

I use Folder.jpg in every folder. Will the rounded effect only apply to *.png files?
Are there black corners in the expanded view in Album Covers view in the main panel, or will there just be no rounded effect then?

Thanks!

Hello BoringName,

thank you for your plugin, but today I get the following error message:

Thanks for your input. I ended up by following you suggestion above and just put in A, B, etc.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to mention it is the Album Cover grid in the main panel. When you select a Album, the tracks of the selected Album appear underneath. Unfortunately, there is no column separator above, which can resize the column.

Questions / Adjust spacing in tracks for selected album

« on: March 19, 2025, 11:00:12 PM »

Hello musicbee community,

I searched the forum and browsed trough all the settings, like change number of colums displayed, but I can't adjust the spacing in tracks from selected albums. I want to display Side A, Side B, etc. in Track#



Is this possible without changing the font size? If not, how do you tag mixtapes on cassette or tracks on vinyl?

« on: March 19, 2025, 11:09:29 AM »

Thanks a lot Pickles7853,

that worked, but left a space after Album if the three tag fields had no value. I tweaked your code to

Code

<Album>$IsNull(<Mediatype><Albumtype><Releasetype>,," ["$Trim($IsNull(<Mediatype>,,<Mediatype>" ")$IsNull(<Albumtype>,,<Albumtype>" ")$IsNull(<Releasetype>,,<Releasetype>" "))])

and now everything is great.  

P.S.: I think, that group intelligence is superior to AI, which failed to provide a solution here.

Questions / Need help with Functions

« on: March 19, 2025, 12:28:26 AM »

Hello musicbee community,

using a virtual tag, I'd like to display Album [Mediatype Albumtype Releasetype], but not all tag fields have a value.

With this code

Code

<Album> [$Trim($IsNull(<Mediatype>,,<Mediatype>" ")$IsNull(<Albumtype>,,<Albumtype>" ")$IsNull(<Releasetype>,,<Releasetype>" "))]

a space and the square brackets are still visible, when Mediatype, Albumtype and Releasetype are empty. I couldn't find a way to hide them in that case.

Has anyone an idea how to only display only Album, when the three tag fields are empty?

Questions / Re: Remove empty line if fields are empty using $IsNull

« on: March 03, 2025, 08:45:31 PM »

$IsNull works perfectly fine in the Track Information panel, I imagine a lot of people use it there.

I need to aplogize for my bad wording in the last post, but by "observed in the Track Info panel as well" I meant that the lines are removed in the Track Info panel, but not in the header of a selected album in the main panel.

I use $IsNull in the Track Info panel as well.

Thanks for your response Mayibongwe, I observed this behaviour in the Track Info panel as well. Would be nice, if this was consistent across all panels. I had a look at the Wishlist section, but didn't find any related threads. So I will post there.

Questions / Re: Remove empty line if fields are empty using $IsNull

« on: February 25, 2025, 09:25:04 PM »

I asked the AI and a suggestion was

Code

$IsNull(<Publisher>,,$IsNull(<Produzent>,,<Publisher>" | "<Produzent>))

but the problem persists. I think as soon as a Tag field is specified, a line will be inserted, even if the fields are empty, right?
