Modeswitcher missing

Post by tbm72 »

In the right hand panel of MMW (where it displays artwork and track info etc) if I click the artist name or album it shows me results from YouTube and not from within my library. I'm sure there used to be a bar above the main panel that you could click to toggle between your library and online (I used to hide that bar in my skin css using [data-id="modeSwitcher"] {display:none;} because I'm not interested in online results but removed it because it kept causing problems).

Is there a switch or setting somewhere so that if I click in the right panel it only shows results from my library and not YouTube?

Yes, the Info Panel has the control to show either Library files or YouTube results.

I never use YouTube results and only ever search my library so I always either hide this info panel or disable it via css ([data-id="modeSwitcher"] {display:none;}) but there is some random bug that occasionally seems to think I want to select YouTube results.

So occasionally when I click on the Artist or Album name in the right hand panel it always shows YouTube results. So then I have to re-enable the info panel (or remove the css) and switch it back to [My Library]. No idea what causes this to randomly switch to YouTube without me manually selecting it? (which I can't because it's either hidden or css-disabled).

I never experienced this. If you can capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket it would help troubleshooting this: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643

Switcher button is feature and can't be disabled, what you do with CSS is not by design and like you say it create undesired behavior. Info panel hide is the way to remove it.

I removed the css a while ago because of the undesired behaviour but I still got the same issue today until I showed the info panel. I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it happens again.
