Skins / Re: Absolute Zero

« on: May 31, 2022, 06:29:37 PM »

Hello,
I guess this is not intentional:
With the blue skin Absolute Zero the menu entries in the title bar (file, edit... help) are invisible without hovering over them. The respective entry in the xml file makes foreground equal to background of "MenuBar.Default".
I changed the entry from

Code

<element id="InlineMenuBar.Default" bg="0,100,0,0" fg="1,20,55" />

to

Code

<element id="InlineMenuBar.Default" bg="0,100,0,0" fg="210,210,210" />

Questions / Re: Playback stuttering

« on: May 31, 2022, 06:15:46 PM »

if you are using the upnp plugin try disabling it (and perhaps any dsp plugins).
Normal cpu usage should only be 0-2%

I have neither a unpnp nor any dsp plugins installed. I tried all output options that come with MB.

MusicBee Wishlist / Comand Line parameter /PlayListShuffled

« on: May 25, 2022, 04:33:21 AM »

Please, add a command line parameter to play a playlist shuffled similar to /PlayLibraryShuffled. When I use /Play [playlist] and shuffle mode is enabled the playlist starts at #1. The new parameter should make MB already start at a random position of the list and be independent from the mode that was set in MB.
Thank you very much.

Questions / Playback stuttering

« on: May 25, 2022, 04:01:11 AM »

MusicBee v3.4.8033
Windows 10 Professional 64 bit

Today I installed MusicBee, spent some hours with configuring and like it.
Then I wanted to start normal use, play music and do other work on the computer: Playback is constantly stuttering, especially when the CPU load goes up, but also when that is not the case.

I never have and had such issues with any player, e.g. MediaMonkey. So I can definitely say it is not an issue of system or other apps.

I searched this forum and found many threads with that issue. So it obviously is a well known issue for many years.
I tried all suggestions I found:
- all available settings in Player tab
- changing <SystemEncodingPriority> in MusicBee3Settings.ini
- Whitlisting MusicBee in Windows Defender Anti-Virus.

The only thing that helped was to increase the process priority to normal. MusicBee.exe runs with priority lower than normal, MediaMonkey.exe does the same. Anyway, if this is a solution I am fine with it. But I don't want to do that manually every time.
Is there a way to set this priority as default with means of MB?
Why does MB need a higher CPU priority as e.g. MediaMonkey?
