foobar 0.9.5.3 and 3rd party components

2008-05-11 04:40:25

I post this so ppl can share their experiences with this latest foobar version which has an API removed and 3rd party components that have troubles because of that. Please check what other ppl have said and only add new ones.

For me:
foo_cwb_hooks: It mostly does not work anymore.
foo_uie_lyrics_art: It works except the only function that it provides. Version 0.057 and later should work fine.


From reports by others:
foo_custominfo
foo_dsp_crossfader
foo_etc
foo_func
foo_playlist_tree
foo_ui_panels
foo_uie_lyrics (prior 0.3.3.0)
foo_uie_powerpanels

foo_ui_panels, foo_uie_powerpanels, and foo_playlist_tree are all flagged as nonfunctional according to the startup notification, but they all *seem* to work for me. (Bear in mind that I use Columns UI with some Track Display panels and the SCPL rather than a true Panels UI config, and also that I did not undergo terribly extensive testing, so your mileage may vary.)

Some components which I know use the metadb_display_hook API

#foo_custominfo
#foo_etc
#foo_func
#foo_uie_lyrics (prior 0.3.3.0)
#foo_ui_panels (such as $getpvar())

The components should work, except for the parts that utilize the metadb_display_hook API. The custom functions that these components provide will fail. That is all.

is there a quick answer why removing metadb_display_hook was necessary? What is the long-term plan to provide similar functionality?

A wild guess would be "find what functionality is needed from the debris of fallen components and implement that functionality properly".

I just want a list of 3rd party components that have problems here. It would be nice to do the discussion here http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....c=63191&hl=. And to Matyas you can look at this post by Peter http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=564566.

If you use the official foo_playcount, you need to get the latest version from the foobar2000 homepage.

It turns out I was using an old version...not sure why I was using an old version.
