Although PluginType.VideoPlayer is set, PlayVideo() is not called.

[lamrongol]

This post(  https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=12302.msg74784#msg74784 ) says:

in the Plugin class Initialise() function:
about.Type = PluginType.VideoPlayer;

and create a function as follows:
        public bool PlayVideo(string[] urls)
        {
...your code
            return true;
        }


When MB detects that function in a plugin it will call it instead of invoking an external .exe

But I noticed when next track is a video, PlayVideo(string[] urls) is not called automatically unless pushing pause button(when playing music).

The problem that a video is not played automatically occurs even with the default behavior.

@Steven
Perhaps after applying the patch, sometimes when MusicBee starts, ”Computer > C:\Users\<User Name>\Music\MusicBee\Playlists” of left side pane is selected.
I confirmed this problem occurs even if removing my plugin.

Install plugin, install VLC, set VLC path in setting MusicBee. How enable video in MusicBee??

You need to change settings to add video files and show video files.

Video Support is still stopped? If you have a time to support video, please add documents.   -> Video Support https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=5817

MusicBee sees video files, but plays them as mp3, without video.

MusicBee is for -music.- If you want to watch video via MB you have to use an outside video player.
Preferences > Player > video player > choose to use Windows default player or set the path to your preferred player.

Didn't you read the thread you linked to?

unfortunately the guy who developed the bass video plugin that my plugin is based from does not appear to be spending time to support it, i feel it wasnt fully ready, and also i cant justify the time needed to support it so i am doubtful it will go anywhere.
