General - (fb2k) / Re: New VST adapter for foobar2000
Last post by wojak -
I am afraid there is something wrong with FB2.24 as stated in other topic - my VST visualisations also are very (realy very) choppy. Up til 2.1.16 it was OK.
Problem confirmed, thanks for reporting. There will be a 2.24.1 with a fix for this before the end of the year.

I am not sure if it is related to the above problem but lately I found out that when playing .m2ts files in FB (with ffmpeg decoder wrapper) and watching video part of the file with either mpv or youtube plugin the video gets desynchronized from the audio (but not always, rather the later the more or get desynchronized at some point and stay like that to the end). It is not choppy like vst, it looks ok but is just out of sync which is very annoying especially when you see someone talking or playing drums and the moves are "in wrong time". WIN10/64, FB2.24/64. All plugins at newest versions. It didn't happen with previous FB versions.

From alpha 4 to alpha 5 I no longer update anything, I don't update images, data or who knows what else. Since I broke myself profusely, because it involves editing over 10 scripts. I greet you, it was a pleasure. Two months of work wasted. Thank you very much.

@ yeyo

I made the changes to the spin disc of your version and they are now compatible with the latest version of the foo_uie_webview plugin.

I didn't post it out of fairness to you.
Feel free to share, I'd love to!

Ok tell me if it's okay. I changed the background color, image path and icon management beyond opening the container box.

Do not download this version because it does not update the images.

@ yeyo if you can post your updated version, without runservice and info track, which I'm not interested in, and I really don't understand it, you'll do me a favor.

Thank you.

There are huge problems it doesn't update the images it wants forced refreshes return to alpha 4.

Thank goodness for the back-ups of the spin disc modules.

My tools are also affected, I don't intend to go crazy changing all the codes again, I'll stick with alpha 4.

Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression)
Last post by Hakan Abbas -
Can't the crazy Rice encoder and decoder that you used in HALAC also be used in FLAC?
That is kinda what I suggested above. A credit for speeding up FLAC by xx percent, would make more waves than a proof-of-concept codec.
Those who pay attention know that FLAC is fast already and has been honed well over > two decades.

But ... developer's choice.
I really don't know how the things you're describing are going to happen and what's going to happen in the end. I don't know what a "credit" is and what it is useful for.
However, I think what I understand in a nutshell is to leave HALAC and support FLAC.

Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: HALAC (High Availability Lossless Audio Compression)
Last post by Hakan Abbas -
I've heard about the success of the HALIC image compression codec. But then it feels a little strange to see such a success in the audio codec as well. Because these are quite different areas.
According to the current results, the critical level has been exceeded. I think the results are excellent. So I don't know how much more compression can be done by processing so quickly. Not to mention multithread encode and decode. Theoretically, more is always possible, but practically it is not.
Can't the crazy Rice encoder and decoder that you used in HALAC also be used in FLAC? Is there such a compatibility?
Thank you for your good thoughts. Since the first version of HALAC, an average of 2 percent compression has been obtained. Without compromising the speed. My guesses were in this direction. However, I think a little more improvement can be done without compromising speed.

I can't say that I finished exactly my Rice Coder. In fact, it needs to work a little faster. Especially the Decoder part. Dealing with the Coder can sometimes be badly annoying.

I don't know the Rice Coder used by FLAC. However, they should be quite different structurally with mine. Entropy coder change can cause back compatibility problems. We don't know that. My own Rice coder is now embedded in HALAC. It needs to be abstracted in a good way. I mean, I've never thought of anything like this before.

Polls / Re: 2023 Lossless format poll
Last post by Hakan Abbas -
HALAC attempted ANS residual compression, but reverted to Rice.
Actually, I could continue with ANS. However, the main problem here is to create certain lice groups properly according to the bit depth and to perform multiple ANS processes. Of course, predictions and transformations have to be a little different. So the code complexity is a bit more. In addition, there are other reasons that are not technical.

I just wanted to make a new experiment with Rice. I continued because the results were better than I expected. So the selection of Entropy coder for HALAC is not a problem.

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: lossyWAV 1.4.2 Development (was 1.5.0)
Last post by Hakan Abbas -
Most lossless codecs cannot compress audio data that is more compressible, such as LossyWav, as fast and as good.
I expect a very fast and high quality Lossy audio codec from you again this time. Lossy HALAC!
I don't know if it needs a new lossy codec. (I even started to think that there was no need for a new lossless codec) Because the subject of the loss is open to too many interpretations.
However, a high-quality or near-lossless of fast version can of course be improved. But I don't know if it's worth it.
