Questions / How album art works?

« on: August 11, 2022, 06:35:36 PM »

I would like to understand better how album covers work. I have a computer dedicated exclusively to MusicBee with automatic program start. In the hard disk the library is organized in folders (one for each artist) and for each artist there are album folders.
Example: KISS -> Kiss [1976] Destroyer.
In each album folder are the music files and a JPG file with the album cover (the cover is also embedded in each music file). the name of each cover has a name in the form of Kiss [1976] Destroyer.jpg  etc...in short, the same name as the album folder.
Now on the NOW PLAYING tab the right cover of each album appears, in high quality, while in the MUSIC EXPLORER tab the album covers are not the same ones I put in each folder and they are also of low quality.
What are the settings in MusicBee to make any tab I open use only the jpg file I put in each folder?
Sorry for the lenght of time and my bad english and I hope I was clear.

Plugins / Re: MusicBee Remote (Remote Control for Android)

« on: August 08, 2022, 05:38:25 PM »

some time ago I asked Kelsos if he intended to put his hand back on the project and in case to implement the wake on lan function when opening the app and also turning it off (as already happens with the FoobarCon app with Foobar2000). I made a dedicated pc with MusicBee in automatic start and I would like you to be able to wake up the pc from my tablet directly from MusicBee Remote. Maybe sooner or later he works on it.

Bug Reports / now playing swith to theater mode only once each time musicbee is started.

« on: April 10, 2022, 10:04:52 PM »

Hi to all, sorry for my english.
I set the now playing in theater mode, but it works only on the first start of MusicBee, if I then select another song from the library it won't reopen. If I close the program the function resumes normally, but obviously if I choose another album, theater mode it does not reopen automatically. in mini player or compact player mode everything is regular. There's a solution?

Questions / Now Playing Assistant sorting

Hello
perhaps it has already been asked but I have not found it on the forum.
Is there a way in Now Playing Assistant to sort each artist's albums by release date and not alphabetically?


thanks in advance

Did you mean to say "and then I CAN put it on the left instead of on the right"?

damn google translator ... yes I would like to put the X (or whatever symbol I want to use) on the left

@Mayibongwe

it works! Is there a way to replace the X with another symbol or letter? If not I'll use a png icon.
and then I can't put it on the left instead of on the right ...
Many thanks

TheaterMode / mysterious X in Theater Mode

« on: April 01, 2022, 11:50:42 AM »

I have set the playback so that Now Playing opens automatically in Theater mode Rdio Style (I still haven't figured out how to go back to it automatically if I go back to the main player to choose another album). Moving the mouse while in Theater mode I saw a small "X" appear at the top right, I had never noticed it. Clicking it takes you back to the main player. The X appears only if the mouse hovers over it. Is there a way to make it visible, place it in another position or even enlarge it?
Thanks in advance

Questions / Re: request for clarification on playback in MusicBee Theater Mode

« on: March 29, 2022, 07:41:06 PM »

I apologize for posting in a wrong section.
But the function I was asking about, does it only work by activating the screen saver? Is it not possible to switch in Theater Mode without screensaver in Now Playing for each album?

Questions / request for clarification on playback in MusicBee Theater Mode

« on: March 29, 2022, 05:47:03 PM »

Hello everyone.  Sorry for my english.
I have set in preferences that when I play an album (or a song) the player automatically opens in Theater mode. And I like that.
The problem is that if I go back to the music explorer window and choose another album to play, the theater mode does not start again by itself, but only the first time after opening the program. So in practice to make it start by itself I have to close and reopen MusicBee and start again reproduction.
Is there a way to make it do it every time I choose another album?
Is there also a way to shorten the waiting time for starting the theater mode? Thanks in advance

Questions / Add STOP button on Theater Mode

« on: July 13, 2020, 11:04:49 AM »

Hi to all,
I am an almost new user of MusicBee, I have seen that modifying the "Rdio Style (embedded).xml" file can modify the Theater Mode view screen.
How can I also add the STOP button next to the Play, Pause etc. buttons?
Thanks in advance.
