Questions / Moving data between libraries

« on: June 22, 2020, 12:52:20 AM »

Is there a way to get database information, like the date a song was added to a given library, moved from one library to another? I've been using MusicBee for several years and have changed computers and libraries a few times. The main reason I'm looking to do this is to get an accurate date of when songs were added to my library. As it stands, many tracks have the date I switched libraries as the date they were added, instead of the original date from the previous library.

I've tried using the Advanced Tagging plugin, but I'm not sure if it's doable.

MusicBee API / Re: Accessing Current Playlist

« on: March 25, 2020, 06:10:27 PM »

Is there a way to get the specific playlist that is being played? If the track being played was in two different playlists, would there be a way to distinguish which playlist the track was being played from, if it was being played from a playlist to begin with?
I guess the core of what I'm asking is if MusicBee has a way of knowing which playlist is currently being played, or if when a playlist is selected, the files within it are loaded into queue and nothing more.

MusicBee API / Accessing Current Playlist

I'm working on my first plugin, and was wondering if there was a way to access the playlist that the currently playing track belonged to (if any).

yes, negative values are normal. post here full log, which is mentioned in error message. there is must be at least 1 entry saying "Can't add...".

Yeah, virtual26 - virtual32, which aren't visible in the config menu, and don't seem to be present at all in the machine I'm having trouble with. The machine that works has those virtual tags though

Edit: I fixed it. Despite having check for updates checked, I was two versions behind. I've since updated it and the plugin works fine. Thank you for the support!

1st exception can be easily fixed: close mb, then delete <appdata>\mb_tagtools.settings.xml file.

second error means that you have 2 (maybe custom or virtual, but maybe generic) tags with the tag names. plugin won't work in this situation. go to edit> prefs> tags(2) and click 'configure fields' button. find 2 tags with the same name and rename 1 of them.

Found and deleted the xml file, but can't find duplicates in the configuations menu. here is a snippet from the error log though

Adding Artist (displayed) / -1
Adding Artist / -2
Adding Artwork / Artwork
Adding BPM / BeatsPerMin
Adding Composer (displayed) / -3
Adding Composer / -4

I take it the negative numbers shouldn't be there?

I downloaded the latest build but for some reason it will not initialize correctly, and I get these pop ups. Any ideas? It installed correctly on my other machine.
