Questions / New folders added to library but not visible in Folder view.

« on: August 14, 2022, 01:45:18 PM »

Hi, I have used musicbee for many years, but recently when I add a new folder (while musicbee is running) the files are auto added to music library as normal, but the folders are not showing up in the folder view.
My music is stored on my Synology NAS and I have this displayed as network share in the leftside bar. This is how I always add new music and until now the folders have always shown immediately. I know that the files are added to the library as I can search for them but the containing folder does not show in folder view unless I close and open musicbee again.
I have recently updated to version 3.5.8249 but have at the same time updated my Synology DS218+ to DSM 7.1-42661 Update 4 , and was wondering if this has something to do with the change or anyone else has experienced this?
Cheers

Questions / Re: official chromecast plugin

« on: May 12, 2022, 05:38:07 PM »

Hi,
I use Airparrot 3 to stream from PC to mutiple chromecasts (Duplicates the pc screen as well) and chromecast audio's from Musicbee. Works really well for me. I use MusicBee remote to control the PC from my phone or just use the pc itself.  It's not a free progamme but for me its well worth it to get the benefits of MusicBee remotely. I am not associated with Airparrot just I have found it just works.

Questions / Crossfade Glitch

« on: December 18, 2021, 01:04:21 PM »

Hi. I'm a long time user of Musicbee for about 10 years and love it. Since I purchased a new computer a year ago (quite a high spec) when I select a new track while one is still playing it only crossfades sucessfully every other time or so. I do run Musicbee on 2 other lower spec pc's and it always crossfades perfectly on those.  The preferences are identical on the three machines:- Crossfade 8 seconds and Fade in 2 seconds and crossfade when skipping tracks is checked.
The music files and library are on a Synology NAS. I only run 1 instance of Musicbee at a time and everything else works fine. I can't find a reason for crossfade not working consistantly on the fast machine. Any ideas?
Cheers

General Discussions / Airparrot 3

Hi,
Since using Musicbee for many years the only thing missing for me is being able to cast musicbee to chromecast properly. I have been using airparrot 3 for a few months now and have found it faultless casting both music only and music and screen to both CC and CCA. Using it with Musicbee Remote I get all the benefit of Musicbee wherever I want.  I know its not free but for the ease of casting for me its worth it.
Cheers

Hi,

Is it possible to resize the panels (artist info and lyrics) in Theater mode XBox Music Style. When running on large screen TV I would like to increase the size panels.
