Anyone have any ideas as to why MusicBee cannot see any music files yet the TV sees the library just fine?  Please help.  Thanks.

Are you aware that the plugin adds server functionality, but it doesn't provide for client functionality?

Thanks for the reply.  The client side is in the smart TV and works fine with mediamonkey upnp but not MusicBee.  I can browse the library and play all of the music files, playlists, etc. with MM but when I run MusicBee it shows up on the TV just fine then when I select select Music it says that there are no music files found.  MM shows up the same way on the TV but when I select Music, all of my music files folders, playlist folders, etc, are on the screen and accessible?

Can anyone give me a steer on how to solve this?  The Samsung Smart TV client sees the MusicBee Library just like it sees the MediaMonkey Library but when I select the MusicBee Library from the TV remote it says that there are no music files in the library.  When I run MM and select the library from the TV remote everything work fine and I can browse, play, etc. from the MM library just fine.  I'd really like to move to MusicBee but I have to solve this first as it is my primary method of delivering music to my home theater audio system.  Many thanks in advance for any help.  I posted the log 2 or 3 posts back.

Hi from France !

Unfortunately, I face the same problem as #124.
I'm using the UPnP plugin to stream music to a Freebox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freebox) connected to a basic Samsung TV.
Just as #124 described it, everything's fine until for no particular reason MusicBee starts eating up the CPU and RAM.
It eventually crashes with the following message :
" MusicBee v2.5.5804.26036 (Win6.1), 2 avr. 2016 15:22:
System.OutOfMemoryException: Une exception de type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' a été levée. "

I'm not sure what information I can provide, but I gladly will.

And now for something completely different, a little bit of personal history : I used Winamp (because it was Winamp) from time immemorial until it died, then used AIMP (because it looked like Winamp), then used MediaMonkey (because I was looking for a true music manager), then discovered and switched to MusicBee (because it's simply the best) :)

Hi (from France too, but I feel obliged to write in English as long as we speak in "public").

I also reported a similar problem. Until Steven finds the time to fix the bug, I had to buy the Airplay plugin (10 €) to stream music to my audio amplifier. There is, unfortunately, a few second gap between the moment you click on the Play button on your computer and the moment the music actualy starts playing on the amplifier, particularly when for the first track, when your computer needs to connect to the amplifier. I just play a few seconds of a silent track and then my album. I didn't find any other solution.
You can try the plugin for 30 days : http://emilles.dyndns.org/software/out_apx.html

Same here. Plugin was working like a charm with my Yamaha receiver, but after updating to latest version of MusicBee (2.5 branch) it simply consumes CPU and memory and dies with Out Of Memory exception few minutes later. I guess exe needs to be patched like the one in the first post.
Please Steve, make a new build for latest MusicBee 2.5/3.0 branches.

Hello, so I´ve used the plugin for about 4 months now and it had worked perfectly (even with Hi Resolution audio) but today it´s simply not working. The plugin appears in preferences but the DNLA server does not appear on my network (an any device) and the output options that the plugin enabled are now gone. I already tried to restart musicbee, reconnect to the network, reinstal thee plugin and even restart the computer but with no effect. Please Help.

Ok this is probably not what you were referring to but I noticed after updating to MusicBee 3 that the output contextual menu shortcut I used to switch to a DLNA audio receiver moved from "Output To" to go under the "Play More" menu. So it became: "Play More>Output to"

Funny thing is now it's back to the "Output To"

Hi Steven,
I just upgraded to a new internetradio Hama IR110 and have the same probs as before with the Freecom Musicpal: MB is startiing playback but after a short while it simply stops. I noticed that the Windows "Play to"-Feature is working nonetheless. Please find the last log below, perhaps it'll be of some use.

My config is Win10x64.1511 / MB 3.0.5595 / UPnP is 1.0.0.0 from 11.2.2015

Hi Steven and all of you,

I know that there was already an inquiry about if it is possible to stream music to more than one device at the sime time and your answer was clearly no,
but I'm trying to stream my music to a pair of Sonos Play1 speakers that are combined as stereo.
When I first open MusicBee (latest version for the main application as well as your plugin) I can hear music from both speakers!
But when I close MucicBee and reopen it I get an error when I start the playback. "Unable to start playback (error=BASS_OK).
I also turned on the logging already

After the error occured I must pair my speakers in the official Sonos controller again otherwise they act as mono speakers for their own ;)

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Steven and everyone,
   I have been using MB for about a year and love it-thank you for your efforts!

I have spent the day trying to figure out the music streaming thing, specifically to a PS3. I am brand new to it and there was, and still is, a lot to figure out so I'm sorry if these are obvious issue but I can't figure them out myself.

Main hurdle was I am using ATT U-verse, so I don't have UPnP and have had to set all the ports and static IP addresses. I got through that and MB shows up on the PS3. I'm not sure if that set up lead to my two issues:


1) Browsing for files is very slow on PS3. it takes a long time to load each folder's contents. Also there is significant lag between songs and between pressing a button (next, pause etc) and the result happening. It seems to be in the 10-15 second lag range.

2) I cannot figure out how to get MB to stream to the PS3. It does not show up in the player output device or any contextual menus. Can I manually help MB find the PS3?

Are these two issues related, and if so is there anything I can change or set up to streamline the experience?

Thank you so much!

This plugin supports server mode (enables UPnP devices to browse and play from the MusicBee library) and controller mode (playing from MusicBee to UPnP devices)

Unzip and place in the Plugins sub-folder
http://www.mediafire.com/download/8oqz833v9z364da/mb_Upnp.zip

There are quite a few configuration options that can be set via the Configure button in the plugins panel which should be straight-forward - ask if you are not sure of something.

I have been warned that there are a lot of buggy UPnP devices which will require work-arounds. If your device is not being detected then first check with some other software which you know works with your device. If you cannot get the plugin to work or are getting odd behavior, then enable the debug log which is an option in the configuration screen and after restarting MusicBee send me the log file that is generated when playing a track. Keep in mind I have only implemented access from within your home network for now, so if you are trying to communicate outside the network it wont work.

I have made an attempt at supporting access from X-Box devices, so if anyone has one i would be grateful if you try it out and confirm if it does work. PS3 have been confirmed as working, as have various UPnP output devices

I found the plugins window under the preferences window in MB, but I don't see the "configure button" for this plugin?? I unzipped the folder mb_Upnp that has the dll file in it and put it in the plugins folder under the program. I have MediaMonkey and it works as a server with my Samsung TV and I can see and play all files from it along with playlists, but I would rather switch over to MB if I can get this to work.  Thanks,

Never mind, I got it to work, I had to extract the zip directly to the plugins folder and it just put the dll there, not the folder with the dll in it. Now I have the configure button in MB, will see if I can get this to work

MB shows up in the TV, but when I open it and choose the Music, I get an error that there is no music available on the MB server. I tried several different versions including Generic and Windows and the Upnp, but none work

I tried Upnplay selection with the logging. Restarted MB and tried to connect and got the same error of no music files available. Here is the logg:
