Questions / Re: Tweaking Compact Mode Layout
« on: September 15, 2018, 02:36:56 AM »
Thanks Freddy, of course not, I will be making the change for personal use only. If it good enough I might upload it for 1-2 people who is interested in using it to use.

However your XBOX version seem pretty good already. I might just stick to it and be lazy. Would you happen to know where the is Compact mode XML file is stored?

At best I just start out by increasing the Height px number and go from there.

Questions / Tweaking Compact Mode Layout
« on: September 05, 2018, 01:30:04 PM »
I really like the Compact Mode, tried a few Theater skin but it just doesn't do it justice. There is few issue that I don't like about the compact mode layout, it available in other setting but not for my setup.

What I want to ask is, where file/skin/software do I need to use to make the following changes.

My image is set out as follow: (1) My Compact mode setting and (2) What I'm planning to modified and changed. I want the Lyric to be longer width and possibly multiple lines (currently it only 1 lines). I want to the Track listing to show 4-5 track instead of 2.5 track.

I want to move some of the stuff down so it allow for that new space. I know that this might be out of most people knowledge to do but any information would help.

Thank you.

I'm interested in this modified version but it is too bad you pick both bad image host and file host. It both dead.

Tips and Tricks / Re: Hiccup's Bible of Tags (all MusicBee & Picard tags)
« on: September 02, 2018, 02:48:10 AM »
Thank you for this. Good work.

I'm trying to use and take advantage of the information that you have conveniently provided. I'm having difficult in term of using it and putting it together though. Are you able to assist?

For example, I want to display the "Lyricist", composer is already there so that fine, but Lyricist

The Sheet say that it default in MusicBee and it is compatible with Picard, however under both the Tag Editor in Musicbee (Shift+Enter), in Tags and Tags (2) Menu this field is nowhere to be found.

If you use Tag Inspector it is there, but it is hidden away.

So does that mean I have to use one of the Virtual Tags (Tags (2), under one of those "custom:" tag for it to show?

How do you set up yours to take advantages of tags that Picard/MusicBrainz provide?

MusicBee Wishlist / Support for DTS
« on: April 13, 2018, 01:07:37 PM »
See Main Topic here: https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=3161.msg16798#msg16798

This is a topic that start 7 years ago. I was about to reply to this but probably going to get a "make a new topic, don't revive thread." so I considered posting it as a wishlist hoping that it get support.

For those who is stuck in the same position as me

Note: Converting it other format using MusicBee (FLAC, mp3, etc) won't work. You will still hear "white noise".
Searching for information on this review that not many music player support it natively (so you can assume Musicbee won't too either).
Foobar does support it, but you have to manually inside a plugins for it.
Alternatively you can use a converter (not Musicbee one), but you might lose it "DTS" feature.

Supposedly it does work if you willing to change your Audio Output setting or have to hardware for it (speaker/soundcard).

Alternatively, you can easily play it with any modern (and possible outdated) mediaplayer, MPC-HC, MPC-BE or the like. I assume any player with DirectShow or LAVFilter will work playing it. Whether these media player truly take advantage of the DTS 5.1 channel is another matter, but atleast you won't get the "White Noise".

Skins / Re: Duophonic (dark theme) for MusicBee v3.0 (updated Feb. 17)
« on: February 17, 2016, 11:01:40 AM »
Hi, I really like this skin too. Currently I have no yet found any issue, although there is some preference I would prefer otherwise.

There is only two thing I like to complain:
1) Need alternative download option that quicker
2) Version history/update. I would be good to add version in your filenames.

« on: January 08, 2016, 08:33:04 AM »
Currently does not support HTTPS connection.
I hope in the future it will be supported, I recommend using the Linux Foundation HTTPS certificate. It’s free, automated, and open, see the website; https://letsencrypt.org/ for more information.

Most other problem seem to be fixed. In regard to the problem below I will send my files via PM with the ID "msg97767"
Edit: Taskbar media control disappear when change mode
1) Open MB, my was in Compact Mode when I quit/exit MB so it will open in Compact
2) Maximize it so it change to main player
3) Compact it again
4) Hover mouse over MusicBee on taskbar. The media control will disappear and no longer possible to use until you restart MB.
i cant reproduce this. Maybe send me your settings or perhaps there is an extra step involved?
this sounds like the advanced tag tools plugin. boroda74 might not be reading this topic so i suggest you report this on that plugin topic

Didn't notice this was part of a plugins. Thank you

MusicBee Wishlist / Re: Relative Artist Pictures Location (folder.jpg)
« on: October 26, 2015, 05:10:43 AM »
With MusicBee3 being release probably sometime late this year, hoping this would be put up for consideration.

XBMC is now brand under the name Kodi. Their standard still does not change.
Artist image will still use "folder.jpg" which usually come fanart.tv at 1000x1000 px in size. Their wallpaper size or artworks is under the name "fanart.jpg" which is 1920x1080, a folder can also be create under the name "extrafanart\fanart1.jpg" for more fanart.

See link below for more detail standard. Specifically section 3.3 Music thumbnails
http://kodi.wiki/view/Artwork
http://kodi.wiki/view/FanArt#Music_FanArt_in_XBMC

Fanart would be great in bigger monitor and/or theater mode.

MB: v3.0.5776.39804

- Compact player's media button disappear when scale.
1) Use Compact player (Ctrl+1)
2) Scale the compact player vertical to any height.
3) Scale the compact player vertical and horizontal to the smallest size you can
4) Media control disappear. It can be fix by opening main player and returning. Alternatively using certain setting such as "Show visualizer"

- Compact player steal focused.
This might be difficult to reproduce as it require certain environment but I am hoping something could be done.
1) Use compact player. Open up a internet browser. Have both of them on screen (ie. not minimized)
2) Use a mouse that have custom button (aside from wheel, left & right click). In my case it Logitech and I use Logitech Gaming Software to custom my button for my Internet Browser.
3) Play music, when the song change to another file or when the artwork change (if multiple artwork), MusicBee compact player will "steal focused" so my hotkey will no longer work with internet browser until I change focus to something else first. E.g clicking on desktop then click on Internet browser, or clicking on MusicBee then click on Internet Browser before the custom key for Internet Browser can be use again.

Edit: Taskbar media control disappear when change mode
1) Open MB, my was in Compact Mode when I quit/exit MB so it will open in Compact
2) Maximize it so it change to main player
3) Compact it again
4) Hover mouse over MusicBee on taskbar. The media control will disappear and no longer possible to use until you restart MB.

Compact button playlist does not activate when compact mode is minimal
1) Compact mode
2) Between the cogwheel and >> is a button with 3 horizontal line, clicking that doesn't seem to do anything but "change" color
This is a issue when you have the compact player minimal size. Increasing the size will display the playlist.

Error when using
1) Open Main Player
2) Tools > Library Reports...
3) Tools > Auto rate track
4) Tools > Auto Library Reports... work every 2nd time. ie. Open it get error, try it again it open new window, and trying again will repeat this cycle
5) Tools > Copy tag to clipboard


Feature request:
Compact mode to have snap to edge of window border.

Compact View (Ctrl+1), Hide Caption Bar can't not maximize into main player when in use.

1) Open Musicbee
2) Use Compact View (Ctrl+1)
3) Go into "MusicBee > Hide Caption Bar"
4) Double click on the caption bar it will not maximize. Whereas if "Hide Caption Bar" is not enable double clicking on the caption bar will maximize the window.

----

1) Open Main player
2) Play any track
3) Open "Now Playing" tab
4) At the bottom of the player, where all the player button is, right click > "Locate playing track in current tab" will be greet with an error. It work fine when you view a non-playing tab though.
