[Blackened]

Hey Steven, Hi. it seems that Musicbee 3 forgot that I have Card on the Storage Path, it only displayed for [Phone Name]\Phone but not showing [Phone Name]\Card

edit:
unnecessary space wasting quotation removed

no changes have been made to device storage and detection. So can you confirm using v2.5 that you can infact see the sd card and thats its not some other issue with the device itself

unzip into the musicbee application folder and run MusicBee3.exe

- fixes for the items stated as fixed above
- support for setting the organisation rules for podcasts and a button to re-organise your existing podcasts. Its located in the podcasts section of the Library preferences
- WARNING: if you use MB v2.5 at any point, you will lose this setting. It wont do any harm but you will potentially end up with podcasts split between 2 locations and need to re-apply the setting/ re-organise again.

i click a Track in the "Now Playing" Tab. The correct wavebar and track displayed.
if I switch from the "Now Playing" Tab to another Tab, the wavebar and sidebar player does not update.
in the other tab is still the previous track displayed in the wavebar an sidebar player

thats fixed for the next update

the bug with the wavebar is fixed!
but the bug in the "Playing Track Text" in the sidebar player is still there.
the wavebar updated but not the "Playing Track Text".

Yes, I can confirm that v2.5 could detect my SD card. It's weird because 3.0 could detect my SD card for a few patches but suddenly it "vanished" on the latest patch.

i take that statement to mean you didnt check now. As i said, nothing has been changed for device handling for a long time

a fix has been uploaded for that

- When resizing the wavebar (and sometimes other vertically stacked "boxes") on my right panel, the wavebar becomes huge at the cost of the "now playing" list, even when I set teh wavebaar to 36px in settings and not close to what and where I moved the resize mouse cursor to.

- Any info on when the plugins will work or if API-plugin writers will have to update some code? Almost no plugin is working for me and I presume development is not that far yet..

are you using the latest version?

all plugins should be working, apart from last.fm stats/ and last.fm recommendations because the MB_AddPanel returns a different type of panel. Both of these require special v3 .dlls available on the relevant topic

Ah, Alright. Thank you for your reply. I just need to remember how did I solved this problem last year, I do not want to revert back to 2.5 as there's a lot of cool stuff in 3.0 but I'll figure it out on "HOW" do I managed to make it work last year, it's been a while ya know. :lol:

Thanks Steven.  This fixes the typing problem in the Search and Replace process that I reported here http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=15050.msg101716#msg101716

i downloaded the file again.
Now freeze MusicBee completely when I start a track in the "Now Playing" Tab
When i start a track in the other Tabs all works fine.

-edit-
that must have something to do with the sidebar player.
if I disable the sidebar player all works

[Steven]

yes it does appear to be the case under certain circumstances. I have uploaded a fix for that

I am sorry, I wasn't apparently. It is fixed. At least we can call this a fix confirmation. ;-)

Hmm strange: These were working on 2.5 and don't work (or only partly) since 3:
- Ghost tracks (error: exception thrown) (this one actually since one of the last 2.5 versions)
- Musicbee remote (can't connect from android, could be non-MB related, but why suddenly after 3? Musicbee2 & 3 are allowed through firewall, port is forwarded, hm...)
- Speak back

For first and third plugin, I am the developer, but I thought I should just change some api's, but app. not. Any other suggestions that might help me debug it? (Can't interpret the exception on ghost tracks either. :-(  Not a Microsoft guru, I'm afraid. :-/
