Skip Counter
foo_skipcount Upload thread


This was made for my personal use as I've wanted to keep track of this for a long time to help curate playlists and understand what I like and don't like of my current music. This is my first fb2k component and first I've really touched C++ in a decade or so and it took me about a week to complete. Let me know if there are improvements, optimizations, or features you'd like to see. Source code is attached in the other thread.

Targets version 80, so it works with 1.5/1.6/2.0 x86 and x64.

Current version: 1.1.0

Features:

    Custom column in playlists: Use the pattern %skip_count%
    Context menu available to reset the skip counter on tracks.
    Settings (Under Tools) to modify which actions cause skips to count, how long the track needs to play before a skip does not count, and if you want skips to count if you do the action from a paused or stopped state.

Thank you! Something like this has been asked many times.

I think a variable storing dates could be handy.
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,115227.0.html

%skip_times_js% - JS timestamp list: [1344117517000, 1355172047000, 1514957893431]
%skip_times_raw% - raw foobar timestamps: [129885911170000000, 129996456470000000, 131594314934316754]
%last_skipped% - Single date: "2018-04-04 15:58:37

The array of times for scripting with JS or SMP.
Last skipped could be used to create really interesting playlists (like "add a track only if it was not skipped this week").

I will add that, I built this referencing a lot off of foo_enhanced_playcount and I wasn't sure it was within my ability at the time. Now that I have the base of it completed, it should be less daunting and I certainly see utility in including those.

I think there is a conflict with foo_skip as that also uses %skip_count%:
https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_skip/release/1.27

Not sure what is the right solution here, perhaps a user configurable name for the tag used? Or just renaming it to %skip_counter% by default?

Or perhaps foo_skip's developer can add an option to not populate the same field as it's not strictly necessary for that component to function (asked there too).

Otherwise thanks for the component, looks very promising.

Good catch, thank you. I will keep tabs on it and potentially update my field name on next release (soon).

Alright, got the new version all set. I saw that Case changed the field name on f00_skip. I tried to implement a custom set field name, and although it worked, it required a restart as I couldn't get it to update otherwise, so it is fortunate that I do not need it. Let me know if there are any crashes/bugs.

Seems to work well now that the field name conflict is resolved.

Updated to 1.9. Upload topic post with full changelog

Note that the settings for logging skips was modified to a dropdown list and likely needs to be re-applied. Added a grace timer for each action so at the very beginning of the track it is possible to now count a skip. Added context menu to clear all but the most recent skip.

Thanks, sorry about that I did not build it into the x64 component. Upload thread has updated file in new post.

Released 1.9.1 to remove a console debugging statement that would spam foobar's console.
