Plugins / Re: UPnP/ DLNA device support

Thanks! Everything imported ok to VS 2015 except I can't find the interop.upnplib reference on my machine. What path/file do you have for that reference name? I did find a dll with the same name in a Silicon Dust/HDHomeRun directory which might be the same thing.

Steven is there any way you could put the source code up on GitHub, or even on your file server, so that any of us programmer-types could take a look at it and see what we would be getting into?

If I remember correctly, sometimes MB doesn't close down completely when you close the app. Take a look in task manager to see if there's another MB process running and shut that down. Then when you re-start the app UPnP should work correctly again.

I'm experiencing one little bug while playing through my Chromecast using the BubbleUPnP Server DLNA function and I'm trying to narrow down where the issue is.
If I skip a song that's playing or use the Play Now function (which I think might just be a Queue Next + skip) MusicBee "loses its place". By that I mean that the scrubber no longer tracks along with the song and playback stops after the new song finishes. Once I hit play on the next song MusicBee continues normally.
I'm hoping someone with a more traditional DLNA setup could try to recreate this. If the bug doesn't show up then I could safely say I've narrowed it down to BubbleUPnP. But if it does happen with a standard DLNA receiver then the issue might lie within the skip logic of MusicBee. And if it is the skip logic and not the UPnP plugin then I could present the issue to Steven as something to look at down the road.
A guy can dream, right?

Thanks for taking the time to read all that and taking it in the (hopefully helpful) feedback manner that it was intended
I checked my version and was on an ever so slightly older build (3.0.6129) so I updated to the current and the exe worked perfectly.

This is looking really great, thanks for all the hard work!
I got to play around with the new app and plugin this morning and have a couple of questions/thoughts...
- I'm pretty sure (or at least I was pretty sure) I have a clean install of MB 3.x, but the plugin exe aborted because it had detected MB 2.x components. I downloaded the 7z version and updated the plugin manually with no issue. Can you list what the installer is checking so I can clean up any old installation files?
- The 7x readme mentions that ServiceStack.Text.dll is required to be present in the plugin folder but the file is not in the zip archive. It's also not in my plugin folder, but again I have no issue using the app.
- I found the Library refresh in the overflow menu, but that didn't refresh the playlists. The playlist screen uses a pull down to refresh. I would have thought both would be done with the library refresh, and the two different methods seem inconsistent. But certainly not a big deal.
- I have the setting for Search List Default Action set to Get Subcategory which to me seems like the natural default action. Once I get down to the song level a tap on a song clears the Now Playing list and plays the song. This feels backwards - I would think moving to the subcategory would be default, with dots to allow adding/queuing the entire category and the app setting to control the action to take when tapping an individual song.
- This might fall under your future playlist manipulation plans, but when I reorder songs in Now Playing on the app, the changes reflect on my computer but MB skips anything that was reordered up.
- In Now Playing, I naturally went for the dash-dash-dash UI prompt to reorder the songs. That placed my finger over the row title and I couldn't see when I had the row selected to move. I did figure out that I could hold the row anywhere to move it, but it might be better to have the indicator on the right hand side of the row. (As I typed that I realized that I'm having righty bias)

Is the release date for the latest version and patch defaulting to today's date? I think I've been running 5995 since last weekend.

« on: May 08, 2016, 08:30:21 PM »Got a virus alert from both Chrome and Win10 on the latest release. Windows identified it as Trogan:Win32\Fethar.b!clAssuming you're downloading from the MusicBee website, it's a false positive. You can run it through Virus Total to confirm: https://www.virustotal.com/en/
I was worried about there being a virus, I just wanted to pass on the information. I've installed a few of the betas and all of the RCs and this is the first time I've seen this.
