Sure thing. Will check that out as well. Thanks for reporting.
In the interim, can you check what the log file says? (e.g search pattern not matched or...)

TheaterMode / Re: Opened autohide panel does not cover everything that is beneath it?

« on: April 19, 2024, 07:43:53 PM »

I have tried a couple of things, such as also making block 1 of the 'autohide' kind.
That partly worked, but I couldn't make that always open the TM with block 1.

I'm not on my pc right now, but another thing you can try is to make the lyrics in block1 autoOpen.
I'm thinking autoOpening the lyrics should consequently open block1 as well.
So if most of ur tracks have lyrics, you might then always see block1 first.

TheaterMode / Re: Opened autohide panel does not cover everything that is beneath it?

I'd came across exactly this hiccup :- when I was designing the Motion Pictures TM.
I'd figured that the only way I could get rid of text overlapping between the different panels was to have no text elements on the main page...so more of a workaround than a clever solution.

The main page served as an introductory view with a single invisible button (text element) leading to other panels.
But this one button itself is active on all autoHide panels when they're selected.
So the last step was to mask it with another invisible click that does nothing.

All the panels in that theater mode are set to open to whichever was the last to be opened when the TM was exited.
So that helps in ensuring that the main dummy page is only seen once (at first selection of this TM).

The above is briefly described on #2 here: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=35996.msg196924#msg196924

I promise you, you're not going crazy.
I've noticed this myself maybe two or three random times in the past.
The TM plugin would be enabled but somehow not visible in the View menu.
(which is a little different to your case since you mentioned it was indeed disabled somehow).
Anyway, on each occasion, a single or double restart would usually pop it back in place, but the cause has remained a mystery.

I'd like to remove a specific sentence from the lyrics that is retrieved when I fetch the lyrics from Genius : "See <artist> LiveGet tickets as low as $<price>"
I've tried these regex in advanced search & replace but with no success yet : See <Tag 2> LiveGet tickets as low as \$\d{1,} to be replaced by nothing

Edit2: Ok, I've managed to do it using "See \@1 LiveGet tickets as low as \$\d{1,}" and setting custom text as the artist name but is it possible to automatically retrieve the artist name ?

Does this work?:

Code

See.*(?=LiveGet).*(?=\$)\$\d{1,}

You can test and tweak it further here:  https://regex101.com/r/CWLkl7/1

But I am wondering if this isn't something that would better be solved at the source, which (I assume) is the Lyrics Reloaded plugin?
If so, you could raise it in that topic so that its developer/maintainer sees it?
 

Gonna have a look at this sometime this evening or tomorrow.
Will be testing it against the song, Russ - I'm Tired, given by another user on a similar report from today.
Dzib, also just confirm you guys are using the latest plugin version 1.2.0.8?
I remember this issue being reported and fixed months back (but it's quite possible that it's returned).

...cose problem looks is easy to solve, but i didn't find this at forum.

It sounds easy, but if it's what I think it is, then this is actually one of the hardest MusicBee puzzles I've personally had to solve thus far.
A link to an identical problem from the past: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=37129.msg204206#msg204206
What makes this kind of puzzle particularly hard to solve is that what the template editor shows is not what goes on behind the scenes.

Your formula is trying to match a backslash, and the template editor is indeed picking it up.
However, the actual sync settings are not because the backslash is an illegal filename character.

By default, it's replaced with a whitespace.
So internally, MusicBee only recognizes a whitespace, and not the backslash (contrary to what the template editor would lead you to believe).

A screenshot of your sync preview will show this, I think.
Anyway, just follow the instructions in that linked post to replace the backslash with a more unique character than a whitespace.

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Editable Track Gain and Album Gain fields

« on: April 13, 2024, 02:18:24 AM »

P.S. Just realized that the Filename field is also uneditable. While not a priority for me, it could be neat to make it editable, too, depending on the amount of work it would take. The sequence there would be to rename the file while simultaneously updating its new path in the database, with no extra steps like file rescanning required. Just some food for thought.

You can use the File Organizer for this: https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/File_Organization
Just ensure that the path remains unchanged.
The preview section of that window will allow you to make a side-by-side comparison of the old file path and the new one.

UPDATE:  Decided to download the installler again and did a new install.  Now works perfectly.

Glad to hear that.
But while you are at it, look into switching to the portable version instead.
There's lots of info on the forum on why it's less of a headache than the other two (Store & Installer).

Questions / Re: Problem with Auto Organize

« on: April 12, 2024, 04:44:32 PM »

Screenshot of the same settings in English for ease of reference.

So, as long as "add to library" is always ticked before the reorganize button is pressed, then MusicBee should always be moving it to the library afterwards.
You are claiming that, that doesn't always happen? (Which implies the presence of a bug)
For the bug to be investigated/verified by others, you would have to drill down to the specific irregularity in the files that don't move after the operation.

Maybe the problem files have the same extension?
Maybe they share some tag that other non-problematic tracks don't have?
Et cetera, et cetera.

We won't know any of that. Only you will be able to say.
So unless uu can reproduce the anomaly consistently, this will likely remain unsolved unfortunately.

Edit: Below is the screenshot you linked to.

Bug Reports / Re: playlist lock doesn't prevent deleting

« on: April 11, 2024, 05:04:23 PM »

Thanks for the detailed feedback on what that button covers tjinc.
And yes, this largely falls on the wishlist margins of the forum.

Edit: somewhat off-topic, but this is the ideal kind of detailed info we'd want to have on the Wiki too.
I don't think it's been updated since Psychoadept last worked on it (whom btw I haven't seen on the forum in a bit and I hope he's alright).

Bug Reports / Re: playlist lock doesn't prevent deleting

« on: April 11, 2024, 04:54:14 PM »

when a playlist is locked, the order can't be changed but pressing delete will still delete it. this should be probably be prevented as well

Not able to test it right now, but if what you say is true, then I'm inclined to agree with you there.
A locked playlist shouldn't permit the removal of songs within that playlist.
(unless maybe it's a removal from both the library and computer too).
