Tips and Tricks / Re: [GUIDE] How to use Musicbee on Linux (Archlinux/Debian based distro)

« on: June 29, 2023, 08:49:55 PM »

I got Discord Rich Presence for musicbee running on Linux!

MB Version: 3.5.8447
System info: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, 64 bit.

I used a plugin I wrote a while ago which simply reports over localhost the media being played, and so all I had to do was write a simple script to read, respond, and report to discord that info.

If i get some requests Ill post a how-to (get DRP, not install MB cuz I dont remember much anymore)

Eureka! I found it! The problem for me was actually in launching musicbee, i instead ran

Code

WINEPREFIX=path/to/whereYouWantYourWineprefix/ wine MusicBee.exe

and that seems to have worked

I am having trouble installing dotnet, and even after I force wine to do so,  I get this sort of error:

Code

00d4:err:explorer:make_explorer_window Failed to create PIDL for L"Z:\\path\\to\\whereYouWantYourWineprefix\\". 

(redacted, of course)

I am using pop-os 21.10 and wine 7.12, which I have already used to run Fusion360.

Heres what I have tried:
1. Create 32 bit wineprefix
   1.1 Leave all settings the same in the GUI that I get, this means a windows 7 spoof
2. Run the winetricks install command as shown above
   2.1 This fails, saying that dotnet48 has been broken since wine 5.18.
   2.2 Force the install anyway.
      2.2.1 It mentioned mono not being installed, but no effect was noticed after uninstalling mono
   2.3 Install works
3. Run the run command as provided and see the error.

I am not a WINE expert, but here are some links that I found that may be of use:

MusicBee API / Re: Internet-hosted URL of album artwork

« on: May 23, 2022, 09:24:49 AM »

However, musicbee is capable of finding the images online and downloading them. Is there a way that I could instead of downloading the image to a file, just get a download link instead using that same search pipeline?

MusicBee API / Internet-hosted URL of album artwork

« on: May 23, 2022, 08:30:01 AM »

I was wondering how to get the URL that musicbee uses to get artwork off the internet. I have found

Code

NowPlaying_GetDownloadedArtworkUrl

and

Code

NowPlaying_GetArtworkUrl

but these URL's are not what I am looking for. The urls that I need are http so that anybody could take that URL and see the art and not just a temp file on the local machine. Please advise on what the best course of action would be.

MusicBee API / Re: Creating a Panel Element That Can be Added to the Bottom Panel

« on: August 12, 2021, 06:23:34 AM »

Well it is there, but not at all what I wanted. What I want to do is to add an icon similar to Last.fm on the play controls and have the icon be one of a certain number of images rather than a whole panel that is excessively wide, clunky, and requiring the user to place it correctly. Is it possible to do that or do I have to settle for a panel?

It allows me to place my panel in the bottom panel but it does not show up at all. All I'm looking for is to put an image on the bottom panel, doesnt need to be resized like it can be on the right sidebar.

MusicBee API / Creating a Panel Element That Can be Added to the Bottom Panel

« on: August 09, 2021, 11:13:47 PM »

Hey there,

I have been vigorously browsing the developer docs and I just cant seem to find how to create a panel that can be added to the bottom panel. I have created a panel with OnDockablePanelCreated but when I try to add my created panel element to the "bottom panel" MB denies this. What I am trying to do is similar to the way that you can have the album art appear in the bottom left corner of the bottom panel. Any chance this can be done, and if so, is there documentation on it?

Thanks in advance,
