V2 beta 26 [x86] not listing DSD tracks

I finally dared to try v2 again. Some months ago it was a disaster.

Now as far as I can see most things work (with newer plugins) -

But DSD and ISO files won't show up in my album/track lists

Yes - they play when I find them in explorer and click to open in Foobar and appear in playlist window when playing
 
Any ideas how I can fix this?

appreciated

Apologies - I should have said .dsf files

No responses to this - probably should have asked initially whether or not .dsf and iso files 'should be read' by foobar2000 v2.  Because if they are not and they only would work thanks to 3rd party components, then this issue should be in the plugins part of this resource.

I don't get .dsf nor ISO neither indexed nor played on beta26x64. If you get them played, you likely have something in your setup that does it. https://sourceforge.net/projects/sacddecoder/files/foo_input_sacd/ ?

As for DSD files in .dff/.dsf, then WavPack can losslessly compress these (except those already DST compressed). Better format, better tagging:

Thanks - have been using the latest foo_input_sacd  - and it plays and sounds great - but issue is not listing the folders or ISO or the tracks, unless they are manually dropped onto the playlist. They then appear in the playlist but never the album list - or my list of folders in foobar (custom code) 


I did not get any to play sometime ago with x64 but it was then not accepting

I am unfamiliar with wave pack - will explore.

But again - my problem is not getting these to play - just to be in my album list - so I see their availability

Well  - interesting to report - dropping a dsf track into wavepack makes that individual track stay in the tracklist - and the album folder is retained in my list after restarting foobar (only containing those individual files which were wavepacked).

Not tried anything with .iso or any other files

So, having hardly read up on what wavepack does to the files - perhaps it will make sense later

....I think you were talking about changing the compression scheme. 

thanks for that

Speaking too soon - w/ wavepack. Not only do I note now that it just makes a low bit .wv converted file in the folder - which, in the first instance slipped my vision - but now having tried it on another album - the .mv files play when double clicked or dropped into foobar (as do the .dsf files) - but for they dont necessarily make the album folder appear in my album list.

...So no closer

I can only guess there is some database mechanism in the v2 version which simply ignores listing .dsf or .iso files - and perhaps others

Thanks - absolutely no question is dumb when users like me can do dumb things - or simply  when unexpected stuff starts to happen.

I made some progress meantime after your prompt  regarding .dsf  but not .ISO

First - to reiterate about the problem. I never actually set up anything other than choosing all my Music folders.
What I was finding was - when I add new folders and files to one of those folders - they appeared instantly in the album listings - as long as they contain music files. Meaning a folder which is listed in the  'Music folders' will not be listed as an album if it merely contains just jpegs or excel files etc.

Something somewhere decides what file extension to consider music content before listing the files and that over the years that has worked with ISO and .dsf  with earlier versions of FB and the components I have used.

Upgrading with prior settings to V2 beta presumably imported rather than recreated from scratch.

I was adding new music to existing drives/folders (not .dsf I don't think) which did appear instantly.   But the .dsf files on there were missing.

My progress was to find that if I deleted folders in foolbar - restarted and then and asked it to re database the same folders - the .dsf albums now are listed.

So that is progress - but I tried the same with .iso files and no luck there.

 .iso files I drag into the playlist window still list all contents and play - but are not recognized by FB in the album list

I am assuming that the DB file listing in the v2 beta version simply does not have a .iso listing

... or is this the sacd component's remit

Oh and another observation from my recent tests :   DVD-A iso actually plays (if ISO is listed as a foobar filetype and it is double clicked) -  but unlike other it wont give me a file listing of all the tracks - if dragged into the playlist. Perhaps there is a DVD-A component I need to update.

just for clarity - in order to get FB v2 beta to 'properly' re-database the folders which it had imported from V1, it was necessary to delete the folder from the album list - then to apply - then to quit FB and then add it again after restarting.

...simply deleting it and 'apply' and then re add it, did not refresh the file listing.

And in summary - that gave me back listings for .dsf files - but not .iso

fb2k doesn't by default do ISO images. If they are SACD, then you probably need that component?

Did you get it working with WavPack? It should.
