Suggestions?

Yes, see if there's anything in the Error Log around the time of the crash and post it here.

[jan_axhell]

If you mean ErrorLog.dat in .\Roaming\MusicBee, the last entry is this, but it's in italian. My PC language is Italian, but I've set MB to be in English, I don't know how to make the log to be in english...

I don't think there's any need to worry about the language. Steven should be able to decode it.

[jan_axhell]

Update:
I have made the most trivial, yet so trivial that eluded me, operation: I have uninstalled GMT Bot from MusicBee, deleted the DLL from Plugins folder, started MB again without it, then closed, extracted again GMT DLL from zip to Plugins folder, and now it works.
How is this possible? It corrupted itself while using it?

Update 2:
I've figured that this happens with certain albums with no particular problem, but if I retag them with something new/different with mp3tag, they don't make MB crash anymore when launching GMT Bot.

Update 3 - One Year Later:
Happened again after no issue until today. Done again as Update 1, again solved. For some reason GMT Bot gets randomly corrupt.

[jan_axhell]

I apparently had a crash on 2021-08-18 which I didn't notice until today.
I have now 2 problems

1) I cannot enable GMTmanager plugin (and maybe others)


2) MB takes hours to scan library as if it was the first time, puts new stuff inside INBOX, I can manage and tag everything, but when I close MB it says it cannot write to database because it's corrupt.

I am assuming the problem started when this apeared in the error.log

There is no such "E:\Projects\MusicBeeAllMusic\MusicBeePlugin.Core\Settings\PluginSettings.cs" anywhere on my PC, I don't know where that came from.

For problem 1 I tried to uninstall plugin and manually remove it/restart MB without it/reinstalling it with no success.
For problem 2 I tried to restore previous settings and library with no success.

[phred]

Did you look at your previous posts relating to this plugin and (perhaps) a similar issue?
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=20765.msg161973#msg161973

Going forward I suggest you post plugin related issues in thread belonging to that plugin so the plugin developer will see it. I have merged today's post to the plugin thread. Although in this case the dev hasn't been on the forum for almost three years.

[jan_axhell]

I wrote in that very thread how I solved GMT problems in the past and I have created a new thread on purpose because my current problem is wider than the single plugin issue.

[phred]

Both error messages you  posted today are the same. And they relate to a plugin. The only way to isolate which plugin is causing the problem is to disable all of them and add them back in one at a time until the problem reappears. Be sure to exit and restart MB after disabling them all. And again after adding back each one.

I would guess that the GMT plugin is the problem for both the first and the second issue. Especially since the plugin writes tags it may have corrupted the database. But you'll have to wait for the plugin developer, or in his absence, Steven, to offer an explanation and/or solution.

[jan_axhell]

Ok, about Library corruption, I have solved by applying Tools/Advanced/Rescan All Files
This time MB saved everything without whining about corruption and loaded everything fine after restart.

About GMT, no way. I have disabled ALL plugins, restarted with all disabled, uninstalled GMT, removed DLL from Plugins folder, restarted again AND another time before installing GMT back, but it gives the same error of the screenshot above.

I have tried API version plugin and it says
InterfaceVersion: 41
ApiRevision: 54
I don't know if that's some sort of inconsistency that might be involved in plugins.

EDIT
I have installed the Portable version of MusicBee and loaded settings from the other version. In this case I had no problem installing GMTManager plugin and using it out of the box. I have tried to reinstall normal version of MusicBee over itself, but nothing changed. There is something broken somewhere and I am afraid to uninstall it, I have so many custom settings and there are thing that apparently make no sense, like some plugins go in MusicBee program folder, some others go in .\Roaming\MusicBee, why scatter them?

EDIT 2
Ok, SOLVED.
GMT plugin creates a GMTManager subfolder inside .\Roaming\Musicbee
That folder contained stuff saved exactly on the date of the crash. I have deleted that folder and finally GMT plugin could be installed properly and now works.
The portable MusicBee worked immediately because it installed GMT plugin inside its own folder, which was new and did not contain the damaged GMTManager subfolder.

Well, at least next time this happens I'll have plenty of info for fixing.
