I must have had this problem for a while, but haven't had time to look into it: MusicBee or Windows seems to ignore the path (xxxx) when I target a file via the Task Scheduler. Before it has always worked for years. Also .bat files no longer work.

F.e. I'm opening the script "C:\Program Files (x86)\MusicBee\MusicBee.exe" with the argument /QueueNext "D:\MusicBee\Playlists\Auto-Playlists\Task Scheduler\Random Album.xautopf"

MusicBee starts, but it won't do anything anymore. That's the copied path from file explorer: "D:\MusicBee\Playlists\Auto-Playlists\Task Scheduler\Random Album.xautopf"

I can't find the mistake. It must have stopped working once I switched to W11 last year. I'm posting it here and not in the bugs forum because I'm not sure what's wrong. Has something changed, is it still working for anyone? Commands without paths still work for me.

I think this is an introduced bug. This should fix the issue:
https://getmusicbee.com/patches/MusicBee35_Patched.zip
unzip and replace the existing musicbee application files

I noticed another issue related to this one. The playlists always get queued / played in by 1) alphabetical album artist and 2) album order, not respecting the defined order and settings anymore. I also made sure that the "shuffle tracks individually" option in the now playing settings is activated. Queueing and playing via context menu works as expected.

I've just tried 3.5.8256, but unfortunately it's still not working.

This is what (still) happens:

And this happens when I start it manually (desired result):

it should be 3.5.8257 and working for me as expected
I have made one more change but it only affects cuesheet files
