API reference · How it works

Charms

Buttons on the charm bar. Each opens a web app, calls the hub, or reaches a device on the network. All of them ship on.

MBXHub Shell

A standalone EXE with a Windows app identity (AUMID HALRAD.MBXHub). The SMTC bridge puts MBXHub’s now-playing in the Windows media flyout, on the lock screen and over Bluetooth AVRCP — branded as MBXHub, not as a generic browser tab. It lives in the system tray: click to open MusicBee, retarget SMTC to another MBXHub on the network, turn the bridge on or off, or reconnect after a network blip. It reconnects to MusicBee on its own.

It also carries the overlay — always-available desktop surfaces, each a hotkey away, sitting over whatever you are doing. The HUD (Ctrl+Shift+M) is playing, browsing and the queue; the Charm Bar (Ctrl+Alt+B) is every charm as its own window. Either can drive a local hub or a remote one, so the machine playing the music does not have to be the machine you are working on.
