MusicBee API / Re: List of static playlists

« on: August 07, 2013, 01:58:34 PM »

Oh, thank you. This function returns (enum) PlaylistFormat.
So I have two additional questions:
1) Static playlist format is always MBP?
2) Other playlist (than static) is never MBP?
If the answer to both questions is yes, then my problem is solved.
Note: I'm interested solely on the playlists that are displayed in the navigation panel.

Thanks, Pako

MusicBee API / List of static playlists

« on: August 07, 2013, 10:54:14 AM »

I can get (using API) a list of playlists. It is simple.
However, I would need to get a list of only "static" playlists (created by the user as "Playlist" or using "send to: <new playlist>").
Is it possible?

Thanks, Pako

there isnt a direct way but you could construct it yourself using:
FilePropertyType.Kind
FilePropertyType.Bitrate

So as I now realized it is not as easy as it seemed.
If you choose (in MusicBee) a language other than English, then it's a little confusing.

Thus behaves string FilePropertyType.Kind:
1) Radio Stream
MusicBee: correctly translated by language file
API: "Stream" (untranslated)
2) Web Stream

MB: correctly translated by language file
API: incorrectly translated by language file (aka "audio file")

It is also a problem with the string "Unknown Bitrate".
MusicBee does not display it, but the API returns it (untranslated).
I'm actually glad it is untranslated, because in that case I can filter it.
If it was translated, is there any way to find the corresponding expression in the currently selected language?
Something like GetLocalisedString("Main.msg.UnBitrate#")  ?

I hope I wrote it clearly.

Boroda, Pako, are you OK with this change as well?

I do not know, I have not tried it yet.
Can you please give me piece of your file as an example?
I suppose it helps me to understand more quickly.

Thanks, Pako

Maybe this gives the impression that I'm lazy write a bit of extra code.
This is not so. I just thought that such a feature would welcome more developers (not just me).
BTW - I'm working on a web UI for EventGhost plugin. I'm almost done.
Here you can see how it looks:

You can see that the "info string" I was able to build.
However, I stumbled upon the fact that the "FilePropertyType.Kind" returns something like "Stream", "MP3 Stream" and the like.
The word Radio I have to add yourself.
I have a question: It can be any other than Radio stream?
If yes, how I can know that it is just Radio ?

FilePropertyType.Kind
FilePropertyType.Bitrate

Yes, in that case it would be relatively easy.
But if it's not a stream, it's a lot more complicated.
And I even have to first find out which case it is (stream or file).
So (given that MusicBee has always this string already constructed),
I thought it would be worthwhile to incorporate new functionality.

MusicBee API / Track detail info string

« on: August 04, 2013, 12:00:34 PM »

I have one question, respectively a feature request.
It is possible (using a single API call) to obtain information string such as "128k MP3 Radio Stream" in the attached picture (from track details)?
If not, I think it would be very nice improvement.


Thanks, Pako

• 1 item
• 11, 12, 13, 14 items or any other number ending with 5-9
• any other number ending with 1
• any other number ending with 2, 3, 4

Pako, please confirm that this acceptable for Czech.

Yes, it is perfectly suitable for Czech.

- Could we have Polish play button as well? The text to put on it is:
Odtwórz
The third letter from the end is Latin small letter o with acute, Unicode 00F3 or LAlt+00243

If you are interested, I can do it for you. I think Steven can do more useful work.

- In case of the IDs below, could we have separate versions for 2, 3, and 4 items, to accommodate for languages with paucal number (and also dual, trial and quadral) - like Polish

+1
In Czech language, of course, we have the same problems with the ending of the word.

Plugins / Re: EventGhost (remote control and event listener)

« on: July 22, 2013, 06:11:25 AM »

it works great after I start EG and MB. It works maybe for 2-3 commands but then I lose all control over html and cannot access the page. Sometimes a restart of the browser on the phone works, most times it doesn't. ...

I'm sorry, but I do not know how I could help.

Pako, thank you again. But I tried to figure out how to customize the menu but didn't know how to.

I think it is quite simple and intuitive. Just play around with it a bit.
But it probably has no meaning if it does not work.


I have one idea and if it will really work, so I'm about two to four weeks will have another solution to remotely control of MusicBee using tablets and smartphones.

... One thing I didn't find is that the path for MB has be to set in EG.

Great!
I am very pleased that my work was not in vain.
Yes you are right, I forgot to set the path to MusicBee.
So for others - the following point you need to do (preferably between points 3 and 4):
Double-click the node Plugin: MusicBee.
You should see a similar dialog:

If the path is not found automatically, do it manually. Then click OK to confirm the change.

Remember that this is the only EXAMPLE. You can customize the menu to your needs.

i see its actually already available as:
#Main.menu.CoPl2#

Great! It really works!
But somewhere around oops mistake, because this identifier is absent in the localization file.
I checked it in Russian, German and Polish file. In none of them this string exists.

1. i have uploaded the french ones:
http://www.mediafire.com/?8h869du9799y5fs
but if you want just let me know what the text should be and i will send back the base64 string you would use

Thank you for the offer, but I do not need it. BTW - for me doing this job EventGhost (a Python script action):

You can see it in Czech localization file that is already done and I am here announcing earlier.

I have two questions:
1) What are the recommended dimensions of these buttons: #Image.PlayArtwork#, #Image.PlayArtworkSmall# and #Image.PlayArtworkNoButton# ?
2) In what situation will show an image #Image.PlayArtworkNoButton#?

And I have one comment.
I found a typo (#Main.msg.UnstLDB#):


Thanks, Pako
