Installation

Linux

Put binaries into ~/.local/lib/deadbeef/ and add "Media Library" widget into Deadbeef view (by clicking View->Design mode and right clicking on element you want to put the widget into)

Windows

Not supported yet. Theoretically you could compile plugin yourself and the search might work, but it was not tested yet in any way.

Usage

Import

In the widget, you click the settings button (right of the search bar, next to the refresh button). Here you can add paths to your Music folders. Clicking import will import every supported music file into the library. If for some reason the library gets broken, desynced or somehow stops working as intended (this can happen, as the plugin is still in early stages), you can use "Clean import" button. This will forget any already imported files and do clean import as it would during first setup.

Searching

Searchbar automatically tries to find searched text in album name, track name or artist name. If you would like to search for specific tag you can use #[tag name]=[tag value]; for example #genre=rap;. You can chain multiple queries like this and it will find only items matching all of them.
