When I open beefweb on my browser, it shows all my tracks in 1 HUGE playlist.

Is it possible to group then by genre => album artist or artist => album?

Thanks for the assistance.

I'm going to try some small modding ... right now trying to just build the component from the beefweb-0.8 source code ... it keeps failing with these 2 errors. Can someone give me pointer as to what is wrong?

Steps taken:
  • installed all the beefweb-0.8 pre-requisites
  • download beefweb-0.8 source code
  • unzip it into a folder
  • start Visual Studio 2022
  • start VS2022 command prompt
  • issue the build command: msbuild scripts\build.proj /p:Configuration=Release

It runs for quite a while, then throws the following error:

All help and guidance would be greatly appreciated...

Nice component, it really gives foobar2000 a great option. Thanks, Hyperblast

There's just one thing I'd wish for to make it perfect for my needs, which would be group by artists and albums.

I got about 200.000 audio files in my library and it really takes a while to scroll all the way down to the bottom. In fb2k itself I group them by artist and then by album and that way I can manage that library. I haven't found a way yet to pass something like group by artists over to this remote interface. I might be stuck to listen to AC/DC and will never go down to ZZ Top that way, it just takes too long:-)

Is there a way to achieve this? Right now it's like mrjayviper says, it shows one huge playlist (or the playlist I chose to play from the foobar2000 application)

Hi there,

Recently I had some problem retrieving the playlist item for one particular playlist (p194). All other playlist seem to load fine.
I have tried re-creating the playlist but the problem persist.
That playlist has <1200 items, I have other playlist with 1900 items are all good.

URL =
Code: [Select]
http://A.B.C.D:8880/api/playlists/p194/items/0%3A9999?columns=%25title%25,%25artist%25,%25album%20artist%25,%25album%25

The result is:



I know the problem is on the server side (foobar). I checked foobar console and I see this error whenever I try to access the above URL.



Any guidance?

I do actually recognise that JSON exception code because I use the same C++ JSON library in one my components. Basically it's choking on some bad metadata in one your files so if you could find and isolate that one (or more) tracks, it could be fixed without developer intervention.

But the developer could update the component as well. The built in dump method for serialising data defaults to a "strict" error handling mode. This can be over ridden to allow the bad chars...

If you have a github account, you might consider reporting it on the issues page here....

Super big thanks for the pointer!

Absolutely right -- some issue with metadata.

I traced it to this track: ( see the "E:\" in the title ).


After I nuked the metadata in that track, the URL will load successfully the playlist items from foobar/foo_beefweb

Once again, thank you so much for your pointer!

Is there a way to retrieve a cover art file path, rather than the raw image? In testing a little in both Firefox and Powershell using the `/artwork/<playlistID>/<index>` API method it appears to return the image binary.

Was looking for a way to get just the file path in a response.

(Also appreciate the clarity of the API documentation page)

Re: foo_beefweb - modern web interface

Reply #108 –
The file path is going to be useless to most. You typically don't have access to the local filesystem when you're connecting over http. What's the point?

If you really must, I guess you can take filenames from your album art preferences and prefix them with $directory_path(%path%).

From my original thread I was looking to get structured responses via CLI but since it was unclear where to go from there based on my experience I found foo_httpcontrol which was close to what I was after but seems it doesn't return cover art paths per item. So found that foo_beefweb could but it returns the image in binary form.

I'm only using a HTTP component for the responses, everything else is done locally and the interface isn't web-based.

This is a practical workaround, thanks.
