General - (fb2k) / Re: ReFacets
Last post by Erich_2 -
My folders on the SSD are sorted by C:\Music - MusicType - RoughGenre - Artist - Album - Title.
in MediaLibrary: C:\Users\MyNAME\Music\MusicType\

RoughGenre is AustoPop, BluesRock, Rock, Country, Guitar, Jazz, Klassik, R&B and so on.

In Facets I used Folder = $directory(%path%)
I use two ore sometimes three times „Folder“ and then Album and so on...
The first 2 (or even 3) columns work perfectly with my folder structure: (Just like on SSD)

Till beta 26 ReFacets Folder = $directory(%path%) didn’t work anymore
I used Folders with „SpecialFolder“ as a workaround:
SpecialFolder = $directory(%path%,$sub($len(%path%),$len($replace(%path%,\,,|,,/,)),N))
N= 2,3,4,5,6 or 7

But in ReFacets (beta 27 and 28)
is „Folder“ a total disaster:  (Folder = $directory(%path%)

My special Workaround  SpecialFolder = $directory(%path%,$sub($len(%path%),$len($replace(%path%,\,,|,,/,)),N))
doesn’t work anymore, shows pointless or a mix of folders and albums.

What’s going on with ReFacets when using Folders?
And yes, simple Genre - Artist - Album - etc. works.
But I don‘t want to see 1000 Genres with special-SubGenres  in the first Column!!!

I went back to Facets.

Hi guys :) I had lost track of this topic. Since nobody seemed interested at the time, I had stopped reading it.

@marc2k3 , I'm really glad you came up with a solution. It seems like requesting it at Christmas was a good idea after all  :P

That is exactly what many of us were looking for. It's of course up to you to share it or not. Just let us know! :D

ok, i should have specified it but the size and style is not affected, only the font name will change.
You can however change size in the panel as well as the style (only for folder).
Frankly, i dont know what's happening as it works ok for me. i cant help but notice a playlist which is an icon (the magnifyer icon). Can you try to rename it to a text ?
thanks

do you use the default User Interface (DUI) or the Custom User Interface (CUI) ?
On CUI (my foobar), it is :
X
then choose custom to change font:
X
Click the "change" button and choose a font. When you click ok on that same window, the panel should update as it is a callback i'm using (on_font_changed)

This example is about the font change of the label item ie on the panel the folder, using CUI.

General Audio / Re: Standard freqnecy content in high resolution containers?
Last post by cid42 -

Second reason why I am wondering is a parellel with image refresh rate.
Human eye is supposed to see up to 10~12 images per seconds (ips) < 24 ips is standard in cinema < but we can perceive a difference in contents shot at 50 or 60 ips (the fact that some people like it or not is not the point here) < some gamers claim they can see the benefit of monitor with refresh rates as high as 120 or 240 Hz.
(Maybe this parallel has some limitation since audio and images are different?)

Do high resolution enable more accurate sound or something like that?
Beyond 60-100FPS which is where most people seem to cap out visually the main benefit is reduced input latency, which is why professional gamers increase FPS to 300+ if they can regardless of the refresh rate of the monitor. Passively watching a screen and actively playing a game are very different things.

...
As for the image refresh rate analogy ... whether the following is relevant or not: isn't monitor refresh rate "fixed"? Typically, an audio DAC will have to detect whether it receives samples at a 44100 rate or at a 48000 rate, and adjust.
...
Variable refresh rate has existed on PC for years (freesync, adaptive-sync), similar possibly renamed tech is now in consoles so in a decade or so it should be common in TVs too. Instead of 60Hz say you have an output range of something like 40-60Hz which eliminates screen tearing if you can stay in the range. Different monitors have different ranges etc. I'm assuming video output is simplified by outputting each frame of 23.97FPS content twice so the monitor runs at 47.96Hz instead of having to do interpolation magic, haven't looked too deeply at it.

No longer getting a crash so that's good, but I'm still not having a lot of success.

I've established that the Folder font is "Common (Labels)" - changing the font to something else works fine, but changing the font style or size doesn't do anything, regardless of which font I use.
As for the Playlists font, I figure it should be "Common (list items)"? Changing that makes no difference at all. I tried all the other "items" fonts too and none of them do anything. I am not sure what font is currently being displayed in my interface, but it's definitely not the one I chose.

You really can't compare the two.

If I have a very, very power flash that creates light for 1/100.000th of a second, you can see that flash. Saying that eyes can perceive images with 100.000Hz from that observation is folly however. The real 'samping rate' of eyes is very dependent on a number of factors, like brightness. See for example this.

Eyes and ears are very different. The physics of light and sound are very different. It makes no sense comparing the two.

General - (fb2k) / Recursive album art viewer
Last post by phunkydizco -
Is it possible to have something like a recursive album art viewer? When I click an a single track inside a playlist it should show the full album art. But when I select an artist with lets say 4 albums the viewer should show all 4 minimized album arts that say fit inside the viewer window. And when I select I genre it should show a "wall" of albums arts.
