No, I couldn't get anything to work, except for Media Monkey. Have tried just about everything.. I can see the MB and the MS links on the Samsung TV, but when I go to open the music folder there is nothing in it.

Redwing: Just realized you did those Theater viewing designs... excellent work! I especially like the Album Flow and the Album Wall.
Windows Media Center also has a nice screen setup with a wall of album covers slowly moving/floating in the background and the currently playing album in the foreground with info.
Wish there were a way of porting these over to my big living room TV screen using a dlna server setup. The only dlna I can get to work with my Samsung TV is the Media Monkey one.. I finally gave up on getting any of the others to work.

OK, thanks, Rdwing. And I guess, if I were to get tag info from files it would have rearranged all my composer tags to last name first, which I wouldn't want. What you say makes sense. I still need to learn how to use the volume analysis, etc. Really appreciate all your help again.

Redwing: Thanks so much for the excellent links. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to do this. I have a couple of hundred CDs, mostly Classical and I had ripped them over the years to lower quality mp3's with no thought to tag structure or file organization. So now I am re-ripping them to Flac files, starting with the harder classical ones. I finally decided that even though they can be easily arranged and searched in a browser, I didn't like how they were scattered all over the place in my computer folders. I wanted them arranged by composer, and then realized that better yet would be by composer, last name first.
I've been using dbPoweramp to rip them because it has a lot of options for tags and uses more online data bases and the error checking is excellent. I got help on their site and was able to come up with a script that files classical genre by composer, with last name first, the album under that, then the track number, title, etc., and if the CD is a compilation, it is filed under a folder called "Classical Compilations" with the composers under that, and album under that, etc. Everything else, non classical genre, I use a different script that gets filed by album artist and if a compilation it goes in a folder called "Mixed Artists" What do you think of this system for file arrangement?
The script in dbPower Ripper that does this is this:
For Classical:
[IF!COMP][if][genre],=,Classical,[tag]composersort[],[tag]album artist sort[][][][IFCOMP]Classical Compilations[]\[album]\[track] [artist] - [title]
For other music I altered it a bit:
[IF!COMP][if][genre],=,Classical,[tag]composersort[],[tag]album artist[][][][IFCOMP]Mixed Artists[]\[album]\[track] [artist] - [title]
I recently discovered MB and it also has an excellent online tag system, I also like the browser better than Media Monkey Gold that I currently use. I would rather use MB for everything but I couldn't figure out how to reverse the composer name, etc. I followed your links and read your instructions for this, but am not understanding how to put it all together...
I want classical albums saved to folder by composer with last name first, then by album name, etc. If it has various composers I want it to save to a folder called "Classical Compilations" with the album under that, etc. And if it isn't a classical tag (anything else) I want it to save to basic Album Artist-Album-etc. and compilations to "Mixed Artists"
I started trying to put this together and got this far... not very good, it doesn't validate and I noticed you can not save different rip scripts in MB?
$If(,Genre>="Classical",Sort-Composer = $IsNull(<Composer>,,$If($Contains(<Composer>," ")="F",<Composer>,$RSplit(<Composer>," ",1)", "$Replace(<Composer>*,$RSplit(<Composer>," ",1)*,))))\<Album>\<Disc-Track#> <Title>
Any help appreciated,

Questions / Classical Music: Composer as Last Name first for ripping to file?
« on: October 09, 2016, 06:45:10 PM »
I want to rip my classical music CDs to folders by composer with last name first. How do I do that? And in the tags and in MB I want the composer to show regularly as first name and last name. So, I don't want to alter the tags, just the rip to folder name.
Also, how do I save profiles for different ripping setups, or can I? I want a profile called "classical" as above for classical, and another setup filed by album artist for all other music genres, like pop, jazz, etc. Maybe called "Other Music"
Or ideally, would be one ripping script/setup that would save to a folder "composer" with last name first, but only if the genre is classical, and everything else ripped with any other tag genre would save to a folder by "album artist"
Also, for compilations I would like classical music saved to a folder under my music called "Classical Compilations" with the composer (last-first) under that and then the "Album" under that with track, title, etc. while anything non classical would save to a main folder under my music as "Various Artists" with "Album Artist" under that, the "Album" under that and then the track, title, etc.
Thanks,

Plugins / Re: UPnP/ DLNA device support
« on: September 12, 2016, 11:36:01 PM »Do your problems have anything to do with this message from Steven?The message from Steven means that he doesn't have the time to support this plugin any longer. That has nothing to do with the problem doane has reported. Other than Steven won't be able to look at it.
No, my Media Monkey server works fine. I understand how Steve doesn't have time to mess with it, was just hoping someone else with script knowledge might be able to work on it... maybe look at what MM did to get theirs to work?

Has everyone given up on this? Would love to get it to work.. seems like someone with good script skills could take a look at what Media Monkey did to get there's to work and apply the same principle to MB?

Plugins / Re: UPnP/ DLNA device support
« on: September 10, 2016, 10:37:10 PM »This plugin supports server mode (enables UPnP devices to browse and play from the MusicBee library) and controller mode (playing from MusicBee to UPnP devices)
Unzip and place in the Plugins sub-folder
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8oqz833v9z364da/mb_Upnp.zip
There are quite a few configuration options that can be set via the Configure button in the plugins panel which should be straight-forward - ask if you are not sure of something.
I have been warned that there are a lot of buggy UPnP devices which will require work-arounds. If your device is not being detected then first check with some other software which you know works with your device. If you cannot get the plugin to work or are getting odd behavior, then enable the debug log which is an option in the configuration screen and after restarting MusicBee send me the log file that is generated when playing a track. Keep in mind I have only implemented access from within your home network for now, so if you are trying to communicate outside the network it wont work.
I have made an attempt at supporting access from X-Box devices, so if anyone has one i would be grateful if you try it out and confirm if it does work. PS3 have been confirmed as working, as have various UPnP output devices
I found the plugins window under the preferences window in MB, but I don't see the "configure button" for this plugin?? I unzipped the folder mb_Upnp that has the dll file in it and put it in the plugins folder under the program. I have MediaMonkey and it works as a server with my Samsung TV and I can see and play all files from it along with playlists, but I would rather switch over to MB if I can get this to work. Thanks,
Never mind, I got it to work, I had to extract the zip directly to the plugins folder and it just put the dll there, not the folder with the dll in it. Now I have the configure button in MB, will see if I can get this to work
MB shows up in the TV, but when I open it and choose the Music, I get an error that there is no music available on the MB server. I tried several different versions including Generic and Windows and the Upnp, but none work
I tried Upnplay selection with the logging. Restarted MB and tried to connect and got the same error of no music files available. Here is the logg:
