Bug Reports / Playlist mixer Any Field Null problem
« on: February 22, 2024, 12:30:38 AM »
Just updated to 3.6.8800 and some playlist mixers no longer work.

Problem is that they have criterion:  "Any Field....Has a Value"
That translates to "is not null" in the criteria list display

(btw I am selecting from sublists rather than creating futile entries!)

If I change "any field"  to anything else - say "Title has a value" then this works fine.  Likewise specifying a value for any field then returns an appropriate list.

This is a problem for me selecting from other playlists but to check it also doesn't work if I select the top radio box and my entire music library...

Guess a quote mark got knocked off in the code or something?

Thx

Questions / how to select and copy text of episode description
« on: November 13, 2023, 07:51:38 AM »
Is there any way to "copy" the text of an episode description.  In all the places that I can see this, there is no option to ctrl-c or right-click copy.

The one place this is possible is in the edit tags window, but the box content is truncated after not many (i haven't counted but maybe 255) characters and so I miss 90% of the text. 

This is important for language learning stuff....  and I might just be missing something

Thx

MusicBee Wishlist / Sort preference tab or playlist specific
« on: August 31, 2023, 09:46:10 PM »
I have a list of unplayed podcasts that I sort by last added episode date.  Whenever I set this sort, it carries through to every other tab or playlist.

This means that when I open a playlist mixer, which is setup to mix music and podcasts as "select from all criteria randomly", the output also gets sorted by last episode date rather than the "number" field so it is no longer random or no longer aligned to the mixer criteria.

This would be better if rather like the folder view on windows, each tab or playlist "remembered" its own specific sort order

Thx

MusicBee Wishlist / Podcast subscription level genre override
« on: July 27, 2023, 02:55:20 AM »
I have noticed recently that Podcast authors have started adding their own genres to individual episoodes, which is trivial but might confuse someone's library.

but, more important for me is that I use the "set graphic equaliser by genre" option as my sound set up needs quite different settings for different things. 

so, at the same screen where I can define an override to the download folder for a podcast, it would be helpful to have a setting to set genre for all downloads in  this Podcast.

Probably not the most important wishlist request in the world,to many people  but hey it is a "Wish" list and maybe there are other avid podcastees out there who would agree!

Thanks

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Loop Points during playback
« on: July 15, 2023, 12:44:35 AM »
sounds like it might work for a static situation but not really what I mean as one typically keeps changing the loops in my scenario.

btw this is frequently an option on dvd players for people who need to watch a segment over and over again   :-X

MusicBee Wishlist / Loop Points during playback
« on: July 14, 2023, 09:51:04 PM »
It would be really helpful to have the option to set a start and stop loop point during playback (I use podcasts for both language learning and music piece learning).

There is a skip function to go forwards and backwards 5 and 20 seconds, which I have assigned to ctrl arrow keys

A similar 3 hotkey option as :

•   start loop
•   stop loop
•   cancel loop

would work well.  The player would then be set to repeat single track by the user and where a loop is defined it would repeat within the loop until the loop is cancelled.  This not saved to track - merely during the playback of  a given track

Bug Reports / Re: podcast artwork no longer working
« on: May 28, 2023, 06:26:30 PM »
The artwork when I 'Edit'  an episode (Shift Enter) is blank with the standard 'drag artwork or rt click to paste' message.  I can manually choose a picture, which I have done by storing a local folder copy as I did not know about the cache before today.  I have recently had to add a picture to every episode in most podcasts

The files are all present in Appdata/LOCAL/Int cache etc and open ok and don't seem corrupted with names matching podcast labels

but interestingly when i use the MB Help/Support?open App data folder link, it opens up AppData/ROAMING/ which has no cache files etc.  Whether that would make a difference i'm not sure?  (I am single user not on domain)

Thx

Bug Reports / podcast artwork no longer working
« on: May 27, 2023, 11:01:57 AM »
Not sure exactly when but this has got now to the point where every podcast episode downloaded does not pick up any artwork.  I can manually add it (but that's silly) using  the existing folder or cover.jpg files in  the directory. 

I have each podcast set to use same author for all episodes but changing that makes no difference

If i am online an image shows in the now playing window but if I click "save as" it always downloads a 0 Kb file that doesn't work...

MusicBee Wishlist / Mini Player Always on Top
« on: May 09, 2023, 04:40:59 PM »
I think this is working as designed and so the issue fits on the wish list, but might be a bug of sorts:

I have Mini Player set to be "always on top" and it does exactly that!  The problem is that it is ruthless  :-\

If I am in Internet Explorer and hit F11 (Full screen view)  or a PowerPoint full screen show, the MB window persists on top.  Maximising it switches focus back to MB as would be expected.  

The Windows taskbar is also always on top but it becomes subservient to certain other full screen calls so it doesn't appear during a slideshow for example.  

Thus during a ppt Slideshow so my 'bottom screen locked' MB miniplayer is left floating a half inch of the screen base.  

Could MB be set to be second top to certain apps (maybe specified in Prefs?) and therefore not visible - as with taskbar?

Hope that makes sense
