it saves a .m2u static copy of auto-playlist to "<library folder>\Exported Playlists" folder on my pc. try to change "Exported Playlists\" to "Playlists\" in mb prefs> library> playlists. maybe these static exported playlists will be automatically added to your library.After my previous post, I remembered seeing an option (which I've never used, though):
in the auto-playlist edit dialog box, in the bottom left corner:
automatically export a static copy
Fox63, it's worth giving it a try, it could do the trick for you: pseudo-tag Playlist + static copies of your auto-playlists.
I've tried this before but it doesn't seem to do anything at all.
To be honest, I don't even understand what that command does.
"add plugin" button copies all files and folders from plugin .zip to one of 2 (depending on "installation type" of mb) "Plugins" folders. so "3DBee" folder placed to the root of plugin zip will be automatically copied to either %AppData%\MusicBee\Plugins\" or "<MusicBee App Folder>\Plugins\". you can get current "Plugins" folder using code:
i think installation instructions would be simpler.
You're right. I was more worried about the 3DBee folder being copied to the right location. It has skin elements that need to be there for it to work and I don't think that can be automated from the "add plugin" button? If it can I will look into it.
string PluginsPath = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "Plugins");
if (!File.Exists(Path.Combine(PluginsPath, "mb_3DBee.dll")))
PluginsPath = Path.Combine(MbApiInterface.Setting_GetPersistentStoragePath(), "Plugins");
string PathTo3DBeeFolder = Path.Combine(PluginsPath , "3DBee");
But I agree, Musicbee is not intended to be used as a multi user app.Exactly. I haven't tried it in a while, and I'm not going to invest any time in it now, but I did experiment with doing this many years ago.
Yes, but two users can't be changing/updating tags at the same time.I think they can as they do have separate libraries.
the other PC won't reflect them until a refresh is done.Agree.
if you are manually copying presets from plugin .zip to ASR working folder ("<mb appdata>\asr presets\"), not using "install all"/"install new" buttons, then just open ASR and click "save all & close" to resave all presets in working folder using displayed names.Perfect! Thank you.
This allows each user to have its own settings like playlist, panel layout, etc., etc.Yes, but two users can't be changing/updating tags at the same time. And when one user makes changes to files in the library, the other PC won't reflect them until a refresh is done.
