Plugins / Re: UPnP 2025 - Continuation of the original UPnP/DLNA plugin

« on: April 07, 2025, 05:37:12 PM »

"Continuous stream" has never worked for me, and not with local files either. I listen to files from the library in the "force native stream" mode. It suits me. But it is not suitable for radio and Soundcloud streaming. It looks like there are some BubbleUPnP settings that I don't know about)

Continuous mode will not work with "force native stream" ticked. I should probably change it so they can't both be ticked at the same time.

I run continuous mode separately from force native stream and it doesn't work

Guys, describe your experience of streaming Soundcloud in BubbleUPnP for Android using the plugin? What specific plugin settings are needed for this? If it is even possible? I have BubbleUPnP selected as the sound output in the settings, but the track does not play and this message pops up:

If you're streaming from the net like a radio station or soundcloud, I expect you will need to tick "output as continuous stream" at the top of the settings page. There is no getting around that. Make sure to read the little note there about not being able to display track information.

Also untick "enable remote control of musicbee via UPnP". That option is only needed if you are using Musicbee as a renderer for a control point which is very unlikely.

I also provide the settings window, maybe you will immediately understand what is wrong:

Bug Reports / Re: Soundcloud Issue

« on: April 05, 2025, 06:48:48 PM »

I have Win 7 and maybe I need to patch it? At the same time, everything works on a laptop with Win 10.

Perhaps this is the issue.

Works fine with W11 also.  With Windows 7 I bet you need to add  TLS 1.1/2 like for so many other sites with Windows 7.  Save this as a *.reg file and double click to enter it into your registry.  A restart may or may not be needed (worked on my "final build" Win7 machine right away):

Code

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.1\Client]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS 1.2\Client]
"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000

Awesome! You helped me a lot. Thank you very much. Now the search works!!

It still doesn't work. I go to the SC website in a regular browser without VPN. Maybe the program needs to open a special port or change the hosts file?? Search doesn't work with VPN either. I have Win 7 and maybe I need to patch it? At the same time, everything works on a laptop with Win 10.

Questions / How can I sort albums in music browser by folder name?

« on: March 26, 2025, 05:50:26 PM »

Ok, guys! This is not an easy task)) I like the "music explorer" mode because it has nicely presented icons and I can see the tracks in the drop-down menu. Most of my collection is laid out (and continues to be added) by labels. But I would like that when I select a specific label in the left list, in the main window I would see not sorting by artists, but by folder name, since the name of each folder for me begins with the catalog number of the label. That is, it would be convenient in the end, when I select a label - to immediately see the album covers (by clicking on which you can see the tracklist of the release), which are arranged chronologically according to their catalog number.

In the panel settings, I did not find sorting by folder name

In the music tab I came up with something similar (I managed to sort by path, folder name). But this is a list and not very convenient for pleasant navigation

It will be hard for you to help me, but thanks anyway)

Questions / Re: Adding a folder to the active playlist opened in MB (not adding to queue)

« on: March 26, 2025, 12:48:24 PM »

How to configure the program and the registry win 7 so that when you right-click on a folder with files from the Windows Explorer, they are added entirely to a specific playlist or active playlist opened in the program (similar to how it was implemented in Foobar2000). This is not about adding a folder to the queue

What hasn't been mentioned, is that is possible to drag and drop a folder from Explorer onto a playlist in MusicBee - either into the open playlist itself, or a playlist entry in the left navigation panel - and add the tracks to it that way.

Thanks Zak! The solution was so simple and I can get used to dragging and dropping

Guys, thanks for the answers. In any case, I can create playlists in another application, sending folders there, and then listening via MB. MB does not have the file manager functions that I need. But everything I listen to is always in the library. I periodically transfer files from one physical medium to another (sorting by folders), and send them to the player for listening.

Questions / Сhanging queue (playback order) after dragging tracks in playlist

« on: March 23, 2025, 07:33:14 AM »

Hello everyone. When I move the position of a track in a playlist, the playback order ("Playing Tracks") does not change. How can I make the playback order be the same as the order of tracks in the playlist immediately after dragging (or deleting)?

Yes, I initially needed a continuous stream. But I can't find the settings to make it work.
Do I need to add the plugin port to the win 7 firewall?

BubbleUPnP usually plays pretty much everything so there is a good chance your issues are windows 7 related. Windows 10 did change some fundamental network functions because the company I worked for at the time had a big argument with a software vendor, we had just paid a pretty big license fee and windows 10 broke the network functionality of the software and they wanted to charge us another license for a windows 10 version. Anyway, point being whatever they changed could be why the plugin isn't working for you.

At the risk of sounding like a prick, rocking windows 7 at this point is pretty nuts unless you have a specific piece of software that won't work in windows 10. If you're worried about all the telemetry/spy stuff that can be turned off. I'd be extremely surprised if your PC didn't run better on Windows 10 vs Windows 7 not to mention the massive security risk. You probably cant upgrade for free anymore but windows 10 keys are less than $20.

Windows 10 is amazing on older hardware which you must be running if you still have windows 7. Hell, it's amazing on new hardware, it gives better gaming frame rates than windows 11.

Sorry but I don't think I have it in me to troubleshoot a windows 7 install. It's over 15 years old at this point.

Thanks anyway. There are other modes of operation of the plugin besides the stream. I am happy with it.

Does anyone know this?
With what settings can crossfade work, or is it not possible. There are no such settings in BubbleUPnP

You need to use a continuous stream for crossfading to work. So you need to choose if you want crossfading or if you want native playback which you initially stated was a requirement, you can't have both.

Yes, I initially needed a continuous stream. But I can't find the settings to make it work.

I have two such libraries (I don't know how it happened, I'm a newbie). The files in them do not intersect, and I would like to combine them into one library. Tell me where and how to combine them?

But continuous stream with these settings https://imgur.com/yRxgDLF does not work.

You need to untick force native stream if you have continuous stream ticked. But based on what you wanted to do in your original post I'm sure you don't want to use continuous stream.

I'm still testing, but I noticed that when the "output as a continuous stream" function is disabled, the track being played is displayed in MB and in BubbleUPnp, but the title does not change with the next track. In MB, only the first track from the playlist plays. Then the playback progress freezes.

In bubbleUPnP
- go to the now playing tab.
- Tap the square icon on the top right next to the 3 dots menu
- A select renderer tab will pop up at the bottom, click the 3 dots menu button on the renderer you are using (probably the local renderer) and select settings
- Enable Gapless Playback.

With these settings https://imgur.com/6phXusa tracks do not start. I like how the "Playback Stream Capture" function worked in Foobar...
But nevertheless, thank you for your plugin, it works much better than its predecessor.
I would like to see a manual on the settings and scenarios for the plugin in the future.
