MusicBee Wishlist / Re: 2 wishes

« on: April 06, 2015, 11:44:12 AM »

I asked on their forum as well. But as the converter works on the commandline I assume this could also be a MusicBee related issue. So I hope for support on this forum as well, be it to get info how to be able to troubleshoot this better or maybe a pointer towards a working solution ...

I personally have 2 suspicions .. maybe somebody from this forum has an idea
1. maybe there is a problem to load the DLLs which are required for the converter.
2. maybe there is a problem with the commandline option
--opencl-platform "NVIDIA CUDA"
which has a space in it ...

Unfortunately MusicBee doesn't write something useful to the error log which can be viewed via "Help -> Support -> Show Error-Log" (translated from German, might be not 100% accurate).

Do you know perhaps where its possible to enabled some more verbose logging ?
I tried the latest release candidate 2.5.5524, problem persists.

Update: maybe I should post this now to an issue thread, as this has nothing to do with wishlist.

In regards to CUETools.FLACCL.cmd.exe ... FLAC converter with OpenCL support.

I found the issue, I used the wrong command line parameters.

Nevertheless I still experience the problem, that this converter does not run inside MusicBee, on the DOS Box it runs very well and performant.

The results are amazing: the converter converts a 310 MB wave file in 2.8 seconds using ~20% of my GPU (GTX980).

I am currently using MusicBee 2.4.5404.

I copied the executeable of all DLLs which belong to the program to the codec subdirectory.
I also copied all the DLLs to the \Windows\system32 folder and rebooted.
Nothing helps so far.
I copied and pasted the commandline arguments between MusicBee Converter setup and the commandline to verify, that no synthat error occurrs. No luck so far.

When I start the conversion by right clicking to a file inside MusicBee Playlist (-> send to -> Format-converter), then I get after conversion the following error message in the right column "Status" of the File Converter Windows "Fehlgeschlagen: No output file was produced: check the encodeing command line parameters which may be incorrectly configured in the File Converter preferences".

The converter settings I use now for FLAC
-q -8 --opencl-type GPU --opencl-platform "NVIDIA CUDA" -o [outputfile] -

currently I want to switch with many files from APE to FLAC format and conversion takes a while ... while converting the disk became full, because the source files do not get deleted once the conversion was successfully. I am missing an option for this scenario, when diskspace is "tight". Would it be possible for you to implement this ?

This exists. Change the option to "Replace source file".

I used this option and I assume deleting the old .ape files will be done last ... but then the disk is already full and all gets stuck.

Hi,

currently I want to switch with many files from APE to FLAC format and conversion takes a while ... while converting the disk became full, because the source files do not get deleted once the conversion was successfully. I am missing an option for this scenario, when diskspace is "tight". Would it be possible for you to implement this ?

I would be glad, if the audio converter could get GPU support to be able to use the full power of my system when having big conversion batches. Am having a GTX 980. Tried FLACCL (http://www.cuetools.net/wiki/FLACCL) but unfortunately this does't work, am getting an error message when trying to convert a .wav file with it: "CreateDefaultContext: No OpenCL devices found that matched filter criteria."
Any plans to implement something like this ?

Questions / How to display Artist Information in a separate TAB ?

« on: July 12, 2014, 11:27:24 AM »

Hi,

in an older version of Music Bee it was possible to add a tab which shows artist information about the currently played track.

It was also possible to store the window arrangement in a kind of config file just for the display settings.

Meanwhile I lost my special config with this additional TAB ... So I need to configure the settings again from scratch but do not get it managed.

I found now a way to create an additional TAB, but do not get the clue what the next steps are to display in this new TAB the artist information.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/96192996/MusicBee-TAB.jpg

Once done how is it possible to save this customized view ? I think the menue to save display configuration vanished ... at least I didn't find it.

Thanks for any help.

Questions / v2.3 - Miniplayer bigger than in previous version

« on: July 11, 2014, 04:49:02 PM »

Hi,

is this a configuration issue or is it the case that the miniplayer view is now nearly triple as tall as before ?

I would like to get it thinner as before as I need the space on screen for other things.

Thanks
Andreas
