The forum

Hello, I have been trying to get the program MusicBee to work on my computer.

I initially installed it on a 32-bit prefix, with no components aside from .NET 4.0. The program would launch, and everything looked good, but no audio would play. When I clicked to play a song, it would show that it was supposed to be playing; however, even the progress bar for the song stayed at 0:00.

I then found this forum with details on how a user got it working. I followed everything on here, and now MusicBee crashes at startup.

Here's the debug log from when it crashes: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p39lw59e0bat3x9/playonlinux.log?dl=0

I am running:

• Linux Mint 19 x64
• Cinnamon DE
• Wine 3.2-staging
• ^set to run as Windows 7
• Intel Core i5-52000
• Intel HD Graphics 5500

 

Let me know if there's any other information I can provide to help. Thank you!

 

EDIT: It seems the issue is related to gdiplus. The program runs just fine (without playing anything) until I install gdiplus.

I didn't post a solution haha, the program won't play any songs without gdiplus, but won't even launch with gdiplus installed.

Of course... so how did you get it to play songs with GDI Plus if it won't launch?

Based on everything I've read about installing the software with POL, gdiplus is necessary for playback. I haven't been able to verify this because the program crashes when I attempt to use it.

Can you run it with Debug instead of "Run"?

This way I can see the errors and bugs

Here's the log

Is that all of it?  I don't see any err:

Those are errors, fixme are just bugs, but nothing to be concerned about.

Thats all of it. All I know is that the program crashes on launch.

I hate it when the debug doesn't give us anything to work with.

What packages have you tried install?

• corefonts
• d3dx9 (probably not needed)
• tahoma
• vcrun
• dotnet

There is a chance that MusicBee.exe requires some kind of Dot Net Framework or Visual C++ to run.  You can look in the applications folder and see if there are any DLLs or EXEs that hint at one of them.  Sometimes they are in a folder called:  system or redist

It does require .NET, but I've installed it. The program itself gives an error code when it crashes, but I'm pretty sure it's specific to MusicBee. I did a search on it and got no results though. Here's the error code regardless:

The type initializer for '#=zVCKCcPOT8WE3TruSSJee8XU=' threw an exception.

I think this is related to .NET, but the program doesn't throw this unless gdiplus is installed.

Which version of Dot Net?

I bet if we get Dot Net running then MusicBee will probably run

I think it just needs 3.0, but I've already installed up to 4.0, and it still gives this error.
If you'd like to try working with the installer, you can get it here. I've tried both the main one, as well as the portable version. https://getmusicbee.com/downloads/

Oh nice!

Yeah I'll give it a try...

If you install dotnet35 it will automatically install dotnet 20 and dotnet 30 with the service packs.

But before you install them, you have to run this command from Terminal:

echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope

Looks like Music Bee is dotnet 40 compatible, also direct x 8.  So I recommend installing the package d3dx9 too

• Windows Vista, 7, 8/8.1, or 10 (32 or 64 bit versions)
• .NET 4.0 or higher
• At least 512 MB of physical RAM
• At least 50 MB of available space on your hard drive
• Soundcard
• DirectX 8.1 or above

Also some good tips here:  https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=17074.0

Unfortunately you will have to create a new virtual drive for every test and install packages separately, but people have been able to run it in Ubuntu with Wine

Packages:

• dotnet45
• gdiplus
• mfc42
• msxml3
• msxml6
• vb6run
• vcrun6sp6
• wmp9
• wmp10
• windowscodecs
• win7

And in winecfg I used these DLL Overrides:

• cscriopt.exe (native, builtin)
• gdiplus (native)
• jscript (native, built in)
• mscoree (native)
• scrrun (native, built in)
• vbscript (native, built in)
• windowscodecs (built in, native)
• windowscodecsext (buit in, native)
• wscript (native, built in)
• msxml6 (native)
