Tips and Tricks / Re: What is loudness normalization, why would I need it, and how do I use it?

When I select a folder under Computer then Analyse Volume, only SOME of the tracks are already checked. Why is that?

Ahh, you got me thinking and I found the answer: the playlist button actually DID work, but it adds the playlist to the currently playing tracks, so I didn't see its effect! I was assuming that it would immediately switch to playing that playlist and there would be some more noticeable change in Musicbee. Maybe should have a couple of buttons on the playlists: play or queue? Seems like if you select a playlist, you'd kind of want to switch to it now instead of queuing a whole playlist for later. BTW my plugin is v.1.1.0.1456.
Thanks again!

First let me say "THANK YOU" for this amazing piece of code. It has made my life livable for the past year of Covid! (You really need a donation button somewhere).
Anyway, the reason I'm here is that I was thinking "I wonder if an update is out for my v1.4 MB Remote yet." Guess not, but rather than read through 43 pages of posts in this thread, here's what I need to know:

1. I have a problem with playlists. Specifically, they don't do anything when I click on one other than blink (Galaxy S10).
2. Any way to view/play folders from the library page?

Hopefully, you've covered these items somewhere that you can point me to, but if not, here's your chance!
---Terry (Thanks again!)

Questions / Re: m3u8(#ext) type playlists?

« on: October 17, 2019, 06:56:46 PM »

I totally agree. These days there are many devices and players that take advantage of the more verbose forms of the M3U playlist, such as this:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:317,Space Oddity - David Bowie
D:\Music 1\David Bowie\Changeonebowie\01 Space Oddity.mp3
#EXTINF:232,Back On The Chain Gang - Pretenders
D:\Music1\Pretenders\The Singles\08 Back On The Chain Gang.mp3
...etc...

It would be a very minor effort to have MB create the additional tags and song title lines to the M3U file (not sure what kind of coding would be needed for the unicode versions). When MB only creates the full filepath, my car players and HTPC remotes display that lengthy path and the sometimes-confusing filenames. Kind of a step backwards towards the 8 character file name system! I love the ton of customization MB provides, this should really be included.

Questions / Playlist M3U format is incorrect

« on: October 17, 2019, 03:29:40 AM »

I converted my playlists from mbp to m3u format for compatibility with my other software. However, it appears that MB does not follow the protocol for M3U files. It should look like this with the title separate from the filename:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:317,Space Oddity - David Bowie
\Music 1\David Bowie\Changeonebowie\01 Space Oddity.mp3
#EXTINF:232,Back On The Chain Gang - Pretenders
\Music1\Pretenders\The Singles\08 Back On The Chain Gang.mp3
...etc...

But instead, it's just a list of the filenames with their path!

Past couple of days I've been getting notifications that there's been a reply to this thread, but it doesn't look that way. What's up with that?

And, while I'm here, what's been happening with this plugin lately?
