MusicBee Wishlist / I need "Main window doesn't become active when operating floating window" option

« on: June 28, 2023, 12:02:39 PM »

I use floating window to perform minimal operations (play/pause, rating, etc) but it makes the main window also active and interferes with my work.
Please add an option "Main window doesn't become active when operating floating window" .

Original topic: What is the floating window for?

Questions / What is the floating window for? Operating the floating window also activates th

« on: June 27, 2023, 08:09:53 AM »

I may be misunderstanding, but isn't the floating window there to perform minimal operations (play/pause, rating, etc.) without having to display the main window? However, when I operate the floating window, the main window also becomes active and interferes with my work. Is this expected behavior?

I've installed mb_KGetLyricsPlugin but it got error and saved error message as "Lyrics".
I uninstalled the plugin and delete the lyrics manually.
However, the error lyrics remains in lyrics panel.

MusicBee API / Although PluginType.VideoPlayer is set, PlayVideo() is not called.

« on: September 27, 2022, 02:59:06 AM »

This post(  https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12302.msg74784#msg74784 ) says:

in the Plugin class Initialise() function:
about.Type = PluginType.VideoPlayer;

and create a function as follows:
        public bool PlayVideo(string[] urls)
        {
...your code
            return true;
        }


When MB detects that function in a plugin it will call it instead of invoking an external .exe

But I noticed when next track is a video, PlayVideo(string[] urls) is not called automatically unless pushing pause button(when playing music).

I noticed when next track is a video, the video is not played automatically unless pushing pause button(when playing music).
I confirmed this problem happens even all plugins are disabled.
I also noticed when playlist contains audio books, they are skipped.

« on: March 30, 2014, 03:21:59 AM »

About
-----
This is a plugin to play music and music videos continuously.
(On default behavior, MusicBee doesn't play next track when video play is finished. This plugin fixes it).

Requires
-----
1. You need MusicBee 2.4 or later.
   v2.4 Patch: http://musicbee.niblseed.com/V2_4/MusicBee_Exe_Patched.zip
2. Install VLC media player if you haven't
   VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
3. Download dll file to MusicBee plugin folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\MusicBee\Plugins, frequently)
   DLL: https://github.com/lamrongol/MusicBeeVlcVideoPlayPlugin/releases
4. Set VLC path on the plugin setting if you've installed VLC not to default path.
5. Before MusicBee 2.4, by default when a video file is added to the library the "skip when shuffling" flag is set.
    So you must set  "skip when shuffling" flag off if you want to play video files when shuffling, following procedure
    1, Select all video files in Video Library
    2. Shift+Enter
    3. Select [Settings] tab
    4. Check "exclude from playback" and select "No"

MusicBee API / Video Play Notification

« on: March 16, 2014, 04:04:28 PM »

Hi.

I am now developing a plugin to play music and music videos continuously in playlist. (play video by vlc with play-and-exit option, and play next track when video play is finished)
https://github.com/lamrongol/MusicBeeVlcVideoPlayPlugin

However, this plugin can't work if a user plays specified video because video play notification doesn't exist(TrackChanged, TrackChanging doesn't work when playing video) and can't stop launching default video player.

Would you add such notification?
