3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: ReplayGain DSP - Alternative ReplayGain implementation by Case
Last post by gorman -
Hi! Thanks for the work on this plugin, I especially like the approach similar to Lyrion Music Server "Smart replaygain".

I have a (hopefully) small feature request: would it be possible to have an option to do nothing if a file lacks replaygain info?

In my case I listen to DTS and AC3 files that lack that and, to bitstream them, no processing has to happen in foobar2000.

You want a library viewer that can display covers. Maybe something like Coverflow (this one is a mod for 32/64-bit that can also follow playlists, discussion topic here).

I'm not sure what your remote control buttons are mapped to for scrolling to the next album? - Coverflow can use left/right arrow keys for that, besides mouse wheel.

The preferences for it are a little confusing. It looks like if you right-click the Coverflow window > Library Selections > Set Library Selection, it appears to update the library playlist to that album when you scroll, then hitting 'Play' should play it. (You might need Playback menu > Playback Follows Cursor on).

General - (fb2k) / foobar2000 minimalist layout
Last post by il_fait_beau -
Hello,

I'm new here and i thank you for all the informations i can find.

My hifi system is laptop, dac, preamp, amp, and speaker, and the use of the preamp remote to control the listening(foobar and preamp).
I use foobar2000 in latest version 2..24.3 x64 on w11 for its black theme.
The remote is setup using flirc usbA, superposing laptop keyboard.

I can only use 7 remote buttons to control foobar: track<, track >,search<<,search>>, play, pause and stop.

At the moment my minimalist layout needs 2 UI element , album list(sort by folder structure) and album viewer.
So i can scroll the albums, see their pictures, play, pause stop and have next&previous track.

What i wish would be the possibility to have the same fonctions without the need of UI element album list.

Why ? because i sit 4 meters from the speaker and i cannot read the laptop screen, i only need to see  the front album Art
and scroll up and down.

How would you setup foobar for that ?

Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: New lossless audio codec in development
Last post by SebastianL -
Next step in lossless audio compression should involve
1. merging prediction + residual encoding -> model p(x_t | x_{t-1}, x_{t-2}, ...} directly
2. use lstm/gru for prediction, e.g. wavenet: https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.03499

Issue with 2. is that for a frame the NN does not converge fast enough using (stochastic) gradient descent.
Possible solutions:
- use a hybrid approach, where you load a (large) base model from disk and update during prediction
- train a (small) NN on every frame and save it -> have to find a compromise between model-size, accuracy and final file size

Having a large base model opens a discussion how to compare such variants to classical (statistical) codecs
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity

More specifically in Preferences > Playback, you can choose whether 'Stop after current' stays on always, or switches off after each track (default). Tick the box for 'Stop after current' and clear the box for 'Reset the above when stopping' if you want it to stay on.

You could also install Playlist Attributes to set this only on specific playlists.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Album list view for single genre?
Last post by anamorphic -
Hi there,

I'm not sure you need that first $if - you could use $swapprefix to put 'The' at the end, if that is what you were trying to get.

To show a single genre, wrap the entire view pattern in an $if test for that genre - $strstr will test for partial match (so multi-value genre tags get included), or $strcmp for exact match (single value tag) -

Code: [Select]
$if($strstr(%genre%,5.1),$swapprefix(%album artist%,The)|%album%|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%)

(I'm not on PC to test this but it should work)

Pseudo-transparency might still be used under PSS, but there probably aren't many other scenarios where it's applicable now. PSS hasn't been updated for a long time, and I hardly ever use it anyway.
PSS is what I have chosen.

The same issue applies when running ESlyrics from a more modern splitter that supports transparency like JSplitter, which I also use.
Point is that the standard solid background or just the cover as a background is not much use imo.

Can you provide a configuration that uses JSplitter and requires a transparent background?
