3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_truepeak True Peak Scanner

Turns out https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_arg component breaks RG scanner instantiation. 
Bingo, that was the culprit, completely forgot about that one. 
Nevertheless, like I said in my earlier post, half of the values it shows I have no idea how to interpret, they don't mean anything to me. The ones that I am comfortable interpreting I can derive with title formatting (Album/Track Peak, Album/Track PLR) and DR Meter gives me the rest. Although it's too bad the latter only saves the DR values and not the Peak and RMS dBFS values. If I knew how to calculate those with title formatting script I'd have my cake and eat it too.

foobar2000 mobile / Re: foobar2000 mobile on eversolo?
Last post by jott_ha -
Meanwhile I managed to transfer some files to the Eversolo, but only via tunessync and I have no idea where the files are. It must be an invisible folder, I guess? The file transfer doesn‘t work everytime, so I am not at the end of the road…

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_enhanced_spectrum_analyzer
Last post by TF3RDL -
Couple of (seemingly-endless) feature requests for this component: Infinite decay rate mode, fading peaks, and difference coloring for labels and grids

As for the first, it works best if enabled by default for "Average" spectrum (alongside 0ms hold for Average spectrum by default), but it can be anything including "Peak" spectrum because foobar2000's built-in Spectrum and old foo_musical_spectrum by @fismineur doesn't have slow falloff for main bar unlike in Spectralissime and this component, and what this setting does is completely remove the gradual falloff (and the make this visualizer react the fastest as possible) and to avoid flickering look, it cumulates peaks since previous frame, up to 576 samples (only on "Peak" spectrum and IIR filter bank is used instead of FFT)

As for the second, it is an aesthetic look for peaks, very similar to audio visualizer from Geometry Dash 2.2 (in terms of fading peaks) and it is for "Peak Max" spectrum, works best when "infinite falloff" is turned on as in the first FR on this post

As for the third, it helps (to see the labels or grid more clearly) when the spectrum and label/grid shares its colors by using the blending operation similar to CanvasRenderingContext2D.globalCompositeOperation = 'difference' for the grid and labels, something like this:

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: JScript Panel script discussion/help
Last post by marc2k3 -
There were changes to how menu items were handled in 3.4.20...

https://jscript-panel.github.io/docs/changes/3-4-x/#3420

Although the changelog only explicitly mentions disabled menu items, it also refuses to run items that are never displayed. It seems like Random pools does exactly this making them for keyboard shortcuts only.

https://github.com/marc2k3/foobar2000-sdk/blob/7f047cf2e541dd2f756c023195ef95285947d201/foobar2000/SDK/menu.h#L53-L54

Quote
//! Retrieves display string and display flags to use when menu is about to be displayed. If returns false, menu item won't be displayed. You can create keyboard-shortcut-only commands by always returning false from get_display().

Running hidden items should be perfectly fine and is expected to work.

As for the data loss on downgrade, it's because I changed the SDK target version to fb2k v2. When you upgrade from a v1 compatible component that saved its config in configuration\foo_jscript_panel3.dll.cfg, settings are migrated to config.sqlite and the old .cfg is deleted by fb2k itself. So if you downgrade, the existing configuration stored in config.sqlite is ignored because the component is compatible with v1 again so it relies on that .cfg file that no longer exists - it starts as if it's a fresh install.

Support - (fb2k) / Foobar - Not Responding
Last post by john@freiman.us -
I've been using Foobar2000 preview build 2.2 2024-02-19 and have the software has frozen/became Not Responding on several occasions.

My media library is located on another Windows computer on my local network and I have the locations selected under Foobar2000's Media Library setting.

I have saved a dump via Windows Task Manager.  Everything else on my computer and network is working fine.  This has happened at least 4 times in the past several months.

The foobar2000.dmp file is 288MB so I don't know how to upload it and I am not seeing way to generate a crash report from inside Foobar2000.

Support - (fb2k) / foobar2000 don't search subfolders of ..\..\music\mods folder ???
Last post by Skybuck -
This mods folder was kinda old, I just re-0created a new one, however foobar2000 refuses to scan the subfolders ?!

Isn't this weird ?! Anyway to make foobar2000 scan subfolders as well ?

Like I "sorted" some mods based on type/kind of music...

This is kinda pissing me off...

Basically there is a VHD mounted as J:\

And it contains J:\Music

and also J:\Music\Mods

and also

J:\Tools\Foobar2000\

So... doesn't matter if it scan J:\Music or ..\..\Music...

It refuses to scan anything behind J:\Music\Mods

Does foobar2000 only scan two layers deep by default ?!

How to make it scan deeper ?!?
