Questions / Re: 3 questions from a just hatched drone

If you're talking about Visualizer plugins in the MusicBee View/Visualiser menu, they consist of the "included" ones, which are the *.dll's in the MusicBee "BBplugin" subfolder, and whatever vis_* plugins you have placed in the "Plugins" sunfolder.  I'm not sure why it would also show plugins from your "MediaPlayer" as well unless those have been imported into MusicBee.

This is the visualization menu of MusicBee (left pane) and the contents of the two folders you mentioned.



If I choose AlbumArt3D for example, MusicBee crashes immediately. The plug-ins are in the menu of the store version too, I tried them both. My current desktop version is 3.2.6818.

To switch from commas to semicolons, you can do a simple search and replace in the artist field (look in the tools menu).

Hello,

thank you for your quick reply! I'm still using the same music library with several other devices. Before I change the ID3-Tags again I have to be sure that everyone is comfortable with semicolons. I had no problems with commas until now. So MusicBee understands semicolons only?

Questions / 3 questions from a just hatched drone

Hello,

I'm using MusicBee just a few days now and getting more and more familiar with this fantastic player. Unfotunately there are three questions I couldn't figure out until now.

As with some forum postings I understand that I have to to decide if I want to have cover art for albums coming from folder.jpg or embedded graphics. I have some albums (organized in separate folders) with folder.jpg for the folder/album and embedded covers for the tracks. If I choose MusicBee to use folder.jpg as first priority it is no longer showing the embedded covers while playing the tracks. Is it possible to have both?

Because my music library (MP3) was tagged for using HTPC/MediaCenter/MediaPlayer it uses the comma to split multiple entries at the artists-field. I read in the Wiki that MusicBee uses the semicolon as default. Is this changeable?

The visualization menu is showing a lot of plug-ins from my MediaPlayer installation. Most of the plug-ins are not working or crashing MusicBee. Is it possible to remove them from the menu or hide the MediaPlayer plug-ins in general?

Hope someone finds time to give me some hints. I'm a little bit lost in configuration somehow.  

Best regards,

Norbert
