TheaterMode / Re: Theater Mode Plugin Update Question
« on: January 17, 2022, 05:59:38 AM »
Does doing this make any difference? https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=35951.0

It absolutely did.

Thank you very much for your help.

I've been scratching my head for ages to get this fixed, and I couldn't.

Adding this one line in the XML file did it:

<settings dpiScale="125" />

Thanks again, I really do appreciate it.

If you are going to use the latest plugin version then you will either need to resize things down by 20% or make the elements relative to anchor points that adjust as the window is resized

Could you please give me one example on how to make the elements relative to the anchor points ?

Thanks for your reply.

I'm on the latest Windows 10 version 21H2

Display Settings:



Old Plugin Theater Mode Embedded:



Old Plugin Theater Mode List:



Updated Plugin Theater Mode Embedded:



Updated Plugin Theater Mode List:



This is not only about the Album Art, it's also about Lyrics, Playlist and Artist Biography, but I think that would be too many screenshots.

Any suggestions from you would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

TheaterMode / Theater Mode Plugin Update Question
« on: January 15, 2022, 05:00:53 AM »
Hi.
I've got one question regarding the Theater Mode plugin update.
This update created October 21, 2021 broke my Theater Mode List & Theater Mode Embedded.
My XML files are not honored as I did set them up.
Everything changed like resolution, Album Art size etc.
Is there any way for me to use the new mb_TheaterModePlugin.dll without breaking what I've setup in my XML files ?
Probably only Steven can answer that, but if anyone else knows, I would appreciate any feedback regarding this matter.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for both of your replies.
I probably haven't been specific enough or unclear.
The thing is that my settings haven't been changed at all, the thing is that my XML files are not honored like they used to be before (scaling of album artwork).
It got nothing to do with album or album track what's of ever, these were just samples of the artwork scaling before and now. (some I got from my previous posts on this forum)
If you have a look at my XML files you'll see the resolution of the album artwork scaling, but one of the previous version updates broke that, don't ask me why because I wasn't screwing around with any of my setting as for my needs I was happy as it was (took me hours to get there a couple of years ago).
It would be very much appreciated if you have any ideas or suggestions.

Questions / Theater Mode Display Issue
« on: August 26, 2021, 11:37:52 AM »
Hi.
I've encountered a problem since one of the new versions I've installed.
Don't ask me which update that was, because lately I'm just listening to the music and didn't bother to check the "Now Playing" or the "Theater Mode", but when I did, I noticed that my artwork was out of place.
It's way bigger than it used to be.
The artwork images are 1000x1000 and scaled down by the XML file, embedded artwork is 450x450.
My notebook resolution hasn't changed, it's still 1920x1080
It used to be all good, but not anymore and I don't want to start from scratch again and hope somebody of you guys can give me a hint why that is and what to do.
The XML files are included in this post, hopefully somebody cares to have a look at it and put me back on track.
If you need further info, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Hi.

Can some please tell me why I'm only seeing Vorbis Comments in the MusicBee Tag Inspector ?



On other screenshots I've seen in this forum I see there is ID3v1 - ID3v2 - APEv2 to choose from.

Is this a settings issue ?

In Preferences>Tags (1) tag storage I've got ID3v2.3 selected.

It's not that I'm having any problems but I would like to know.

Thanks in advance for any feedback on this.

@psychoadept

Thanks for putting me on the right track.

I could add the file manually by right click Top Rated>Edit Auto Playlist>Add Files

Now the track is back in the Top Rated playlist again.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks again.

« on: August 13, 2020, 02:16:24 PM »
Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I also re-scanned all files in the library.

I also ripped the original CD again, but still got the same result.

My neighbor has a CD of the same album, another release that I borrowed and ripped with the same result.

So it's not that this particular track is damaged on my end or anything like that.

It must be a bug in the MusicBee settings or the database I think.

It would be good to know which file contains the information for the Top Rated playlist as this is driving me crazy now.

Suggestions to fix this problem are very welcome.

Hi.

I'm having a problem with a specifig music file which does not show in the Top Rated Playlist panel even though the file has a 5 star rating (see attached screenshots).

I think I tried everything but can't figure out what the problem is.

Please give me some advise.

Thank you.
