Bug Reports / Re: When next track is a video, the video is not played automatically.

« on: September 27, 2022, 02:07:26 AM »

Hmm... So videos are not played automatically?
This post(  https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12302.msg74784#msg74784 ) says:

in the Plugin class Initialise() function:
about.Type = PluginType.VideoPlayer;

and create a function as follows:
        public bool PlayVideo(string[] urls)
        {
...your code
            return true;
        }


When MB detects that function in a plugin it will call it instead of invoking an external .exe

But when such a plugin is used, videos are not played automatically?

Bug Reports / When next track is a video, the video is not played automatically.

« on: September 26, 2022, 11:33:24 PM »

I noticed when next track is a video, the video is not played automatically unless pushing pause button(when playing music).
I confirmed this problem happens even all plugins are disabled.
I also noticed when playlist contains audio books, they are skipped.

MusicBee API / Re: Video Play Notification

« on: October 11, 2017, 02:39:38 PM »

@Steven

Sorry for too late response.

On latest version of MusicBee, this api doesn't work correctly.
1.public bool PlayVideo(string[] urls) function isn't called if previous played file is music.
   I found following pattern
   -Video -> Video: played
   -Video -> Music: played
   -Music -> Video: isn't played
2.When playing video, "play" button doesn't turn to "stop" button so users can't stop a video.

Would you please repair it when you have time?

Thanks,

Thanks to Steven, now I updated the plugin not to stop when a user close vlc before finishing playing, stop when a user click stop button on MusicBee.

You need 'newest' MusicBee 2.4 or over from below link,
http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12148.0

You can download plugin from below link
https://github.com/lamrongol/MusicBeeVlcVideoPlayPlugin/releases/tag/v1.1

>Or the stop button in VLC.
It is difficult to detect what users do on external application.

Hmm...
For me, this newer version is sufficient.
And, it is equivalent  for current and newer version on the point that MusicBee doesn't know real state of video playing. So this change doesn't make MB worse, I think.

I think more complicated APIs will be confusing because knowing real state of video playing by external process is difficult(this plugin only knows  whether external process is running or not).

>When i click the Stop button in musicbee a notification is sent to plugins "PlayStateChanged"

Yes if when playing music. But when MB start playing a video, PlayState change to "Stopped" and PlayState  doesn't change when clicking the Stop button or playing another video(when playing other music file, PlayState change "Playing"

I confirmed by below code.

  case NotificationType.PlayStateChanged:
      MessageBox.Show(mbApiInterface.Player_GetPlayState() + "");
      break;

I want to implement a feature to stop playing video when a user clicks stop button. as following topic.

Video Continuous Play plugin (Require MusicBee 2.4 or later) - MusicBee - Forum
http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12419

But on latest version, "PlayStateChanged" notification doesn't occur  when stop button is clicked.

When video play starts, play state changes to "Stopped".
If it is not difficult, could you make it not changed?

Well, the plugin certainly needs some work (though idea isn't bad). I think, to work properly, it needs to somehow bind MusicBee's controls with VLC's, so MusicBee would know, when VLC has finished playing, 'cause right now if user would skip some part of video, when the playback ends, the plugin won't jump to the next file.

This plugin stops playing if a user close vlc along the way, to be exact, if vlc is closed before original video time length elapse.
Because I think it is supposed that a user want to stop playing.
However, it is applied, as you say, when a user skip some part of video.
And this feature is implemented when MusicBee video API is not added. Maybe I should modify this feature, for example, to stop only when a user clicks stop button on MusicBee.

« on: March 30, 2014, 03:21:59 AM »

About
-----
This is a plugin to play music and music videos continuously.
(On default behavior, MusicBee doesn't play next track when video play is finished. This plugin fixes it).

Requires
-----
1. You need MusicBee 2.4 or later.
   v2.4 Patch: http://musicbee.niblseed.com/V2_4/MusicBee_Exe_Patched.zip
2. Install VLC media player if you haven't
   VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
3. Download dll file to MusicBee plugin folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\MusicBee\Plugins, frequently)
   DLL: https://github.com/lamrongol/MusicBeeVlcVideoPlayPlugin/releases
4. Set VLC path on the plugin setting if you've installed VLC not to default path.
5. Before MusicBee 2.4, by default when a video file is added to the library the "skip when shuffling" flag is set.
    So you must set  "skip when shuffling" flag off if you want to play video files when shuffling, following procedure
    1, Select all video files in Video Library
    2. Shift+Enter
    3. Select [Settings] tab
    4. Check "exclude from playback" and select "No"
