Add MusicBee Controller plugin

[Axforzi]

Add manifest for the MusicBee Controller plugin, which allows users to search, play, and control MusicBee directly from Flow Launcher.

When browsing for musicbee.exe I get this:

1. Upload log file: C:\Users\Damien\AppData\Roaming\FlowLauncher\Logs\2.1.3\Flow.Launcher.2026-06-14.log

Is the tikinter library needed?

[Axforzi]

Okay, the problem should be resolved

[deefrawley]

Where does it expect the itunes XML to be - with the executable? If so you should allow the user to choose the file as my library DB (and so XML file) is not where the executable is which is in the fact the MS Store version.

[Axforzi]

If you use MusicBee Portable, the XML file is in the same folder. Otherwise, it is in the MusicBee folder within your music directory. However, I have already fixed it so you can search for the file manually if it is not in either location.

[deefrawley]

Found the XML file however none of the commands work. Pressing them in Flow does not affect the running musicbee instance

Hi @Axforzi, any updates?
