I don't know about foo_playback_custom, but for playcounter mod, in its setting, you are supposed to be able to skip tracks with some patterns, in this case:

mslive://*;mms://*;rtsp://*

not 100% sure it works, just guess.

there is an option to disable the plugin, but this isn't that comfortable so I think the best option is to report this to the maker of Playcounter mod and maybe he can help me.

thanks.

When rescanning a media library with lots of entries, I see a message box continously flickering, on the top left of the screen:

Code: [Select]
[mslive]
checking if the target is supported...


This is highly annoying as it steals the focus afaics...

hm.. actually I don't use the media library, so I don't quite bother to find a solution for this.

the "checking if the target is supported" dialog box will only show when mslive cannot identify the file type, i.e. not mms, rtsp, asx. for example, when trying to play a *.jpg file, it will show.
because that checking (especially remote file) takes a bit of time, it's good to have a dialog box shown, so you will see a lot of flickering of the dialog when scanning by the media library.

for the moment, one solution comes to my head is that you can set the restriction in media library to some common file types like below to scan:
"*.mp3;*.wma;*.flac;*.tak;*.ape"

yes, it's annoying to type all the supported types, or maybe later I'll add an option to suppress this dialog.

But of course I only scan for audio file extensions?! But I'll have a closer look on the file filter there. I think (it's at work) I use the same like at home: "*.mp?;*.m4a;*.ogg;*.wma;*.wav;*.flac;*.ape;*.wv;*.tak;*.spx"

Maybe there's a wrong extension there or files which match the extension filter, but aren't audio files...

Hi Acropolis,

my media library include filter is: *.mp?;*.m4a;*.ogg;*.wma;*.wav;*.flac;*.ape;*.tak;*.wv;*.m3u;*.cue

I'm not sure if this is correct, because at home I only scan folders with only audio files: I see the not included file types (.jpg, .doc, .png files, simply anything), jumping through the fb2k media library rescan ("processing files") window. At that moment your components window appears.

sorry, I probably provided wrong example. *.JPG will not cause the dialog to pop up (I was confused with my old source code).

I think you see the dialog is because you have some files, which don't have file extensions, this is virtually the only situation. I can't (don't know how to) specify the scanning restriction to exclude those file types.

so.. you can just move those files to somewhere else, or wait for my next release.

Not a problem, I can wait, thanks!

I was wondering if there was a way to play last.fm radios with this component?

Hy,

i am trying to install foo_input_mslive and foo_dsp_crossfader (because i read somewhere, that mslive needs this component to run) but i allways get the error

"Failed to load DLL: foo_dsp_crossfader.dll
Reason: This component is missing a required dependency, or was made for different version of foobar2000.

Failed to load DLL: foo_input_mslive.dll
Reason: This component is missing a required dependency, or was made for different version of foobar2000."

when i start foobar (0.9.4.2).

I do have vc8 sp1 runtime libraries from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en installed.

Is it possible that this error comes because i also have MS Visual Studio 2005 installed?

Hope someone can help me!

thks

mik

Trying to play streams from allmusic.com:

Get this error:

Unable to open item for playback (cannot connect to any of the referenced urls):
"C:\Documents and Settings\****\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\FZW0TY1B\amg[1].asx"

just made a small update.
it's not critical and no bug fixes, just to make the playlist look better, without the "mslive://" prefix thing.

You know, an entry of a radiostation is not taggable. Could you thing of a workaround for it? It happens quite some times, that I can't identify the entry with the acutal radio-station. It only gets clear as soons as playback is started, and the title is loaded from the stream.

I have no idea for a workaround, because you need a place to store the tag. it's like the case of tagging wave file, and even worse, there's no actual file.
although I can make a separate database file to store the tag, it's not wise because you may only play that stream for a few times and there are so many streams around.

what I can think of is:
creating something that allows users to generate asx playlist file from 1 to many stream urls, save it somewhere and load it, then you can tag the stream.

Your solution-proposal sounds nice. It's not very important so take all your time!

What exactly has changed? I see the "display static info" checkbox but cannot sort out what it does. (Mainly because my Online Radio tag display is a code mayhem)...

Playing an asx-file created with your component crashes (the last beta of) foobar. I added this url: rtsp://213.200.97.107/energynuernberg$livestream.wma/

Ah OK, I see the "Create asx option".
