Latest version detected as a virus by windows defender. I assume this is a false positive?
Edit - Trend Micro says it might be ransomware. Not the first time I encounter this problem. Had it with another legit program.
Edit 2 - More on this, when I scan the exe, it says its clean. Only when I execute it, the AV warns me it might be a potential treat and to only execute it if its from a trusted source.
Hey musicocd2.0. Can you send me the exact message you see.
Unfortunately, the untrusted messages will appear every time I publish a new release, at least until the exe gathers enough reputation in the Windows SmartScreen. But this unfortunately will happen for each new upload.
The only way for the untrusted message to go away is if the binary is signed with a certificate issued by a certificate authority. I did search in the past for open-source friendly CAs but, the cheapest I could find with some good reviews was more than 100 euros per year or 65 per year if you got a 10-year valid one (so around 650 euros).
I will do a scan from a new machine to make sure it is not picked as a false positive. If that is the case I can submit it for a manual review.
BTW. awesome job with this plugin. Really useful, especially when I'm on my balcony and don't want to go back inside to change the music.
This is the exact reason why I started building the app
Hey, I'm trying to load the plugin on a W10 PC so I can use the remote app, but the install button is greyed out. all other apps are closed. Any ideas?
If you are using either the portable version of musicbee or the store version you need to use the zip file. The installer will not work. I hope this helps.
Hi Kelsos, MB Remote is working great with 1.4.1 plugin. Showing Lyrics is also great. Along with lyrics, if Lyricst and Composer fields are shown either in Lyrics page or Now Playing Page, it will be great.
Thanks
I will open an issue.
Hi Kelsos,
I installed mbremote in 2013 and it's been great, I just updated to v1.4.1, so I thought I'd make a request. I have 44,000 tracks and albums in my library so I setup a heap of playlists to simplify things - sometimes I wonder which playlist is selecting songs but the app can't tell me - would you mind adding that info please
Kind Regards
Could you describe how exactly this works? I am not sure how I would implement something like this.
Until recently, MBR was working fine on my Win 10 but something has changed and now the plugin says stopped. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled and that worked for that session, but the next time I logged on it reverted to Stopped. The android App can't connect to the host as you can imagine.
Any ideas?

The first thing I would check is any changes in the Windows Firewall. The firewall is always the first suspect when things stop working suddenly. Sometimes it will reset rules during an update. I would try to recreate the rules by hand.
I installed Musicbee nearly two years ago with the sole purpose of streaming with android control.
I have tried every version of remote since 1.1.0 and now the latests 1.4.1 still doesn't work!
The install folder is always greyed out and it will not install.
When can we expect to see a working version of Remote, or should I just give up waiting?
Is this the problem when trying to install with the installer? If you are using the portable version of MusicBee or the store one you need to install the plugin using the zip instead.
