Bug Reports / Sorting main panel syncs between tabs only partly
« on: January 31, 2021, 01:41:42 PM »
So, there is an inconsistency in applying sorting options in tabs. Let's say I have an example Tab A, Tab B and Tab C with all of them currently sorting by Album Title. If I then change the main panel sorting in Tab B to 'Year', it does NOT change the ordering in Tab A and Tab B, but when I check the sorting options in either tab, it show the option I had selected in Tab B, creating a discrepancy between the selected sorting option and the displayed sorting.

The curious thing, if I close Musicbee as is (with Tab B correctly sorted by Year and Tab A and C still being sorted by Album, yet showing Year as selected option) and then reopen musicbee, all tabs are suddenly sorted by Year.

I'm not sure if it's supposed or not supposed to apply sorting to all tabs. I'd personally prefer if it would be possible to set different sorting options in different tabs. Nevertheless, whether that's a feature-request or not, whatever it's supposed to do, it's kinda glitchy now anyway hence the bug report.

I'm using Musicbee 3.3.7491

Huh, nice! I didn't receive any notification about the reply on my initial wish-list post, so I'm only seeing this now  :-X
Nevertheless, I'm certainly gonna try this out. Many thanks Steven! :D

Any chance this can go in the Widget Store for easier installation? I personally don't mind, just wondering.

MusicBee Wishlist / Windows Xbox Game Bar Musicbee widget/plugin
« on: July 27, 2020, 11:00:18 AM »
It would be cool if Musicbee would get a widget for the Xbox Game Bar.

The Xbox Game Bar is a feature in Windows 10 that can be opened by pressing windows+G. Since earlier this year, Microsoft has opened the system for third-party developers to add their own widgets.

One of the first third-party widgets was a Spotify widget to control Spotify music. I think it would be neat if Musicbee would have a widget in there too. To control music during games (though, it can also be used outside of games because windows+G always works).

For information about the SDK is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/game-bar/

Tips and Tricks / Re: How to use the sub-grouping header
« on: December 09, 2018, 10:12:00 AM »
In the "Customise Panel..." screen for Album Covers view, there is a button "Show Settings".  When you click this you get an extra panel where you can set the sub-grouping header.

*facepalm* How did I completely overlooked that button at first...
Anyway, many thanks! Works like a charm now  :)

Perhaps this sheet is useful to you in case you delve deeper into the mysterious world of tags:
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=26177.0

That seems like a really useful sheet. Many thanks!  :)
Never knew tags were such a wild west. I thought they were a bit more organised/standardized.

I've got one last question: in the OP (and other images in the topic) I can see sub-groupings in the Albums (aka Album Covers) view. I can't figure it how to enable those. I can only see a subgroup option for the Album and Tracks view.

EDIT: I just realized I'm using an older version of Musicbee. I was under the assumption I updated it recently, but apparantly not. *facepalm* I'll check the new version out now and will report back.

EDIT2: updated Musicbee, both issues still persist. Updated the error message below.

-------------------------

I've got two bugs.
Both are in the happening in the 'Set Displayed Fields' window of the the Album and Tracks view.

Bug 1) I can't remove the Album column. I'm trying to drag it away, but it just stays where it is. I was wondering if it was working at all so I tried to drag other fields away which worked until...

Bug 2) I tried to drag Artwork away. Then a message popped up saying I can't remove Artwork in the Album and Tracks view. That's fine, that's logical, I didn't want to remove it anyway. But, when I click OK on the popup message, an error pops up:

Tips and Tricks / Re: How to use the sub-grouping header
« on: December 08, 2018, 08:23:30 AM »
Have you read and tried what I suggested some 5 posts earlier? (post #54)

Whoops! I thought I read the whole topic, but I think I missed the last page  :-X

I've been 'casually' tagging music for a couple of years now. Never really looked into it; jus tagged title and author in an automated way and be done with it. Now I'm trying to archive some discs and I want them properly tagged and I started reading a bit more and it's a damn rabbit hole.

From what I understand, MP3 files use ID3 tags which have a formal standard set of tags. FLAC files on the other hand use Vorbis Comments that only have a specification of how to store the tags and not a specification of predefined tagnames. Thus, you end up with this stupid situation where program A uses tagname A and program B uses tagname B.

I've been trying to find out what the most widely accepted tagname for a disc subtitle is and I can't quite figure it out. In ID3 it's quite straight-forward (at least in ID3 v2.4): TSST for Disc/Set Subtitle. Vorbis Comments on the other hand... it looks like a split between SETSUBTITLE and DISCSUBTITLE and there isn't really a definitive type.

I also came across this mapping table: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Tag_Mapping

What I find curious there is that they're mapping TSST (which I assume stands for Set SubTitle) to WM/SetSubTitle yet they call it DISCSUBSTITLE in Vorbis Comment. Because ID3 specs call it set subtitle I'm inclined to use that too, though I personally think disc subtitle sounds more logical.

I'll try out that Picard script you posed a few posts up and I'll see what situation I end up with  ;)

I have a semi-related question. Musicbrainz Picard sometimes adds a tag called 'Disc Subtitle' to my flac files. Inside the .flac file, the tag is saved under the name DISCSUBTITLE.

Now, I want to show that DISCSUBTITLE tag as sub-header in Musicbee. The tag doesn't show up by default in Musicbee, but it's one of the standard available custom tags. According to this table https://musicbee.fandom.com/wiki/Custom_Tags Musicbee's Set Subtitle is identical to DISCSUBTITLE in Vorbis. So, I've set up my Custom 1 tag as Set Subtitle and selected Set Subtitle as sub-header. But... Nothing shows up.

Have I done something wrong? Did I forget something?

(As a sidenote, the set subtitle is also empty in the tag-edit window in Musicbee, even though I'm sure my files have a DISCSUBTITLE tag...)

------------

EDIT: Ok, I think I figured it out. Musicbee is NOT saving Set Subtitle as DISCSUBTITLE in flac files. It is, in fact, saving (and thus, I assume reading) it as SETSUBTITLE. That table is clearly wrong.

So, now my question is... How can I use Picard's tag DISCSUBTITLE as sub-header? I know very little about Musicbee's custom and virtual tags so....

Bug Reports / A few errors
« on: April 18, 2016, 06:30:34 PM »
So, today I got 2 error messages quite quickly after each other.

First, I tried to edit the tags of a little over 3000 files. I've done this more often with Musicbee (but I should note that this was the first time with v3). 99.9% went well, but for a few (seemingly random files) I got an error message saying something along the lines of System.MemoryOutOfBound. It's probably not the exact message, I don't remember it too well. After it was done editing all the tags, I switched back to album-cover view and it was acting very weird. When I scrolled up nothing was wrong, but when I scrolled down, it would constantly replicate the bottom row of albums (the full row, so with covers, titles, artists etc.). After I restarted Musicbee, everything worked fine again, but I have the feeling it removed some album covers. I'm not 100% sure though, since I was in the middle of fixing all the tags (and missing covers).

Later today, I was using Musicbee when I got another random error message. I was switching a bit between the main Music tab and the Now Playing and Music Explorer tab. Nothing seemed to crash though, just this error message (my Windows is Dutch, so part of the message is Dutch):

Bug Reports / Re: A few things/bugs regarding bluetooth headphones
« on: February 01, 2016, 08:29:49 AM »
I understand completely that there is only 1 man developing Musicbee, and that he's probably very busy with the V3 (which reminds me, I'll see if my problems are fixed in V3).
However, I believe both of my problems are not device-specific.
But, as I said, I'll do some more testing (probably this evening or tomorrow) :)

Well, that's a short and straight to the point answer :P
What's the reason you won't be able to help? I guess because you don't have any bluetooth headphones?

Bug Reports / A few things/bugs regarding bluetooth headphones
« on: January 31, 2016, 06:49:47 PM »
Hey,

A few days ago I bought a pair of Bluetooth headphones, the Sony XB950BT to be precise.
I've got 2 things that I noticed that I would qualify as bugs:
- The headphone has play/pause/stop and forward & backward buttons. The forward, backward and stop buttons work as they should in Musicbee. The play/pause however doesn't work. At first I thought it was a problem with Windows's driver, but the play/pause works fine in Windows 10's standard music player (Groove). So, I suppose the problem lays with Musicbee.
- This one is a little more vague, I need to do some more testing to find out what really is the problem. But, there is a certain combination of changing Windows's audio-output (disconnecting/connecting the headphones), Musicbee in the background/foreground and if there's either music playing or not. But, it makes Musicbee crash. As I said, I have to do some trial and error to see what the exact ingredients are for this crash, but it happened a bunch of times already since I got these headphones. I'll add a post here when I know more.

If you need any more info (besides the exact reason for the crash of course), let me know :)

Thanks!

Is this already implemented? If not, I'd like it too  :)

MusicBee Wishlist / Library-bound layouts (multiple layouts)
« on: March 03, 2015, 09:02:52 AM »
Hey,

I think I'm using MusicBee for a good 2 years already. and it's an amazing piece of software.
Recentely, I completely reorganized the way I manage my digital music collection. Part of that was to split my old musicbee-library in 2 libraries. One for all the normal albums and one for all kinds of loose songs, remixes and other random stuff.

Now, there's no problem with how Musicbee handles multiple libraries (before the reorganizing I didn't even knew that was possible, it's a very nice feature). However, I'd really like it to be possible to have library-bound layouts.

Let me give an example: I'd like my main library to have the album-cover layout together with 2 columns above with for example artist and album (a more graphical approach). While I'd like me other library to have the detail-view with other top columns (a more text-approach). Both layouts are perfectly possible with Musicbee, but when I switch libraries I have to manually edit the layout every time. That's quite annoying.

So, is it possible to have the layout change when I change libraries?

Plugins / Re: MusicBee Remote (Remote Control for Android)
« on: January 26, 2014, 06:14:12 PM »
I've good news, Kelsos  :)

I don't know if you remember me from a month or two ago, but I had problems with connecting my phone with my pc. A few weeks ago I bought an ssd and I installed a fresh Windows 8.1. I also installed a new antivirus.
Connecting my phone with Musicbee is super simple now. I don't know why, but it works.

And I have to say: It's a great app. I only have 2 minor issues: when I search an Album, the album list lists all numbers inside the album I searched for, but I would like to see only the albums themself in the search result. I also would like a "quick scroll bar". I don't know the correct term, but there's an Android scroll-bar for long lists. A bigger scrollbar which you can pull to scroll super quick. If you don't understand me, I could search for an example  :)

Thanks anyway, it's a great app  :D :D
