Thanks to you (and Mayibongwe) for providing a fix for my initial TM problem.

On the patch file you sent me, I just thought I should let you know I've had a problem running it.  I get a start up error message saying it's thrown an exception.

In case it's something you want to look into, I've uploaded to MediaFire a text file with full details of the error and screenshot of the error message received.

Here are the links:

I daresay the info given in the files will mean a lot more to you than it does to me.

I've just uploaded a text file to Media Fire as Mayibongwe suggested above.  Here's the link:

I hope that's what you need.  I've just downloaded it from Media Fire so it should work for you.   If not, let me know.

You'll see from my post above to Mayibongwe that using Close in the menu bar when in TM seems to sort the problem.

Thanks.  And I really like your player.

When in TM on first use I've just tried using the Close instruction in the menu  bar and that works.  Every time.  I can now close TM to get back to the main player and then return to TM after choosing a different album to play.  Previously I was going into View in the menu bar and selecting Main Player to return to that screen.

Also, thanks for the PM with info on how to send my settings to Steven.  Was puzzling over how to do that.

Okay.  Thank for trying to help, anyway.  I guess I'll just keep playing around with it and see if I get lucky and accidentally find the answer.

Just found it after having another look.

Unfortunately it is set to Normal so that may not be the cause.

Hi. 

Thanks for the suggestion (and welcome).

Where do I look in MusicBee to check the setting for the Theatre Mode startup mode?  Don't think I've come across that one.  I only started using it a few days ago.

Questions / Problem switching to Theatre Mode on playback

I want to permanently set the MusicBee player to switch to Theatre Mode on playback, but it only works occasionally.  Most of the time when I begin to play something it won’t switch to Theatre Mode. 

It will switch the first time I begin to play an album after opening the application.  If I then stop playing that album and choose a different one, or the same one again, it won’t switch to Theatre Mode on playback. 

If I close and re-open MusicBee and select something to play, again it will switch to Theatre Mode successfully.  But if then select a different album and play it,  it doesn’t then switch to Theatre Mode. 

So if I want to change the music I’m playing and want to have the player switch to Theatre Mode on playback, I have to close MusicBee, re-open it and then play the album I want to play.

This is the case no matter which of the included Theatre Mode views I select.  It also occurs if I use a downloaded Theatre Mode style.

The problem only seems to apply to Theatre Mode.  If I set the application to switch to the Compact Player or Mini Player on playback, it works fine.

I am using MusicBee Portable and have version 3.4.8033 P

Any idea what could be causing this problem?  Or is this how it’s meant to behave?
