| A device doesn't see MusicBee at all |
Check Windows Firewall for both private and public networks; the plugin's port (9779 by default) must be reachable. Restart MusicBee after firewall changes. |
| A source (Podcasts, Radio, Inbox…) is missing from the tree |
It's probably hidden. On the View tab, tick the node and make sure its Visible checkbox is on. |
| A node browses with the wrong shape |
Apply a different discovery path on the View tab — e.g. Flat Tracks for a playlist, Album Artist → Album → Tracks for a music filter. |
| The device sees MusicBee but won't play any track |
The device's profile is probably wrong, or force-native is off and a transcode is failing. Tick force native stream on that device's profile and retry. |
| Audio plays as static / white noise |
Try force little endian for PCM streams on the device's profile. If that doesn't help, try do not use RAW PCM. |
| Gaps between tracks |
True gapless runs automatically on devices that support NextURI. If you still hear gaps, the device either doesn't support it or its implementation is buggy — fall back to output as a continuous stream (gapless guaranteed, but track info and next/previous controls stop working). |
| EQ / DSP / ReplayGain "does nothing" |
Force native stream is on for that device — it outranks them. Untick force native stream on the device's profile. See Transcode or not. |
| A modern (2020+) device ignores MusicBee's controls |
The fix for devices advertising as MediaRenderer:2/3 is in this fork; it should work. If not, capture a debug log and file an issue. |
| The plugin loads but Configure won't open |
Check MusicBee's ErrorLog.dat — the plugin likely crashed on load. Deleting the plugin's settings file and reconfiguring usually clears it. |
| Languages other than English |
The plugin ships several languages and follows MusicBee's; this help page is currently English-only, with translations to follow. |
