Library_QueryFiles[]

Used in combination with Library_QueryGetNextFile to get a list of files.

public delegate bool Library_QueryFilesDelegate(string query);
  • query:
    • "domain=SelectedFiles". Get current selected files
    • "domain=DisplayedFiles". Get current displayed files in Main Panel
    • "query" also supports auto playlist format filtering. Create an auto-playlist with required criteria and look at the xml, you only need these parts:
<SmartPlaylist>
  <Source Type="1">
    <Conditions CombineMethod="<1 of combnined methods>">
      <Condition Field="<TagName1>" Comparison="<1 of comparisons>" Value="<TagValue1>" />
      <Condition Field="<TagName2>" Comparison="<1 of comparisons>" Value="<TagValue2>" />
    </Conditions>
  </Source>
</SmartPlaylist>

for source type, the flags can be combined:

MusicLibrary = 1
Podcasts = 2
Inbox = 4
AudioBooks = 32
Video = 64

so MusicLibrary + AudioBooks = 33


MB_AddMenuItem[]

Adds a menu item in the main MusicBee menu.

public delegate System.Windows.Forms.ToolStripItem MB_AddMenuItemDelegate(string menuPath, string hotkeyDescription, EventHandler handler);

menuPath: where you want it (seperated with slashes) and which name it displays

E.g.

mnuView/xxxx
mnuTools/xxxx
mnuTools/mnuTagTools/xxxx
mnuTools/mnuTagTools/mnuAdvanced/xxxx

hotkeyDescription: arbitrary string with hotkey description as it appears in "Preferences> Hotkeys". If hotkeyDescription = null then no hotkey can be defined for this menu item.

MB_RegisterCommand[]

Add a shortcut handler to Musicbee (which the user has to define and enable to work).

public delegate void MB_RegisterCommandDelegate(string command, EventHandler handler);

NotificationType[]

TrackChanged (1): means that the player changes track (to another), not the track itself being changed

FileDeleting (25), FileDeleted (26), RatingChanging, TagsChanging: The obvious with synchronous event meaning you can be sure you receive the notification FileDeleting (Ratingchanging, TagsChanging) before the file is deleted (rating/ tags changed) but it needs to be used carefully in that any slowness in your plugin will be blocking musicbee itself. The other notifications are asynchronous.

Setting_GetPersistentStoragePath()[]

Get the user path to a writeable storage area that you can use for saving files. Suggest you create your own sub-folder and files there.
