3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: [fb2k v2] SQLite Utilities (foo_sqlite)
Last post by regor -
Hmm I looked at the docs and it doesn't seem like XSP queries as described there are nearly as powerful as SQL queries. I'm mainly using SQL queries for contextual queries, i.e. using the "OVER" operator to get statistical max(), min(), sum() etc. values from previously defined sets of tracks (especially artists and albums). Apart from the ability of XSP to use playlists as pools (which would require me to generate absurd numbers of playlists) it doesn't sound like smart playlists can do that sort of stuff. Is there another way to dynamically generate pools independently of playlists, analogously to partitions in SQL? Is there a more extensive documentation of XSP queries somewhere that I can refer to?
XSP playlists were never meant to be as powerful as SQL nor Autoplaylists. They are a format used by Kodi, which I support to:
1. Provide direct translation between simple AutoPlaylists and Kodi systems.
2. Have an "AutoPlaylist" which can use other playlists as sources (#PLAYLIST# IS blabla).

That's all. And they were just a example of how a playlist in UI can be bound to arbitrary code and be updated with some callbacks or conditions (your request). You have full documentation on the readme PDF, which also links to kodi wikis.

Anyway, as I said, what you want has nothing to do with any kind of -existing- playlist. My replies were primarily mean for the developer. You want SQL and you want auto-updating of playlists by some triggers, and this is the component you need. Another thing is if your request is ever implemented. For sure, I would appreciate it too.. since query syntax is pretty limited in some cases and there have been no updates on years.

General - (fb2k) / Re: foobar2000 as Audiobook player

A few days ago, I installed these suggestions. I am puzzled why these aren't built in, at least for an optional functional player, if much larger that is ready to music and books with what I would consider the bare basic functions (bookmark within each file, remembering place, eq, sonic enhancer, and visualizer which is useful for pc music playing if not so much playing on a phone in your pocket.  I think these are needed to attract new user, who are trying 5 other players and only have a glancing test of foobar before they move on to a new player.

I did just lose my place in a book, when I opened a new book to see if it was complete.  I haven't yet figured out how to bookmark my place in a track, although I was very pleased that it now remembers my place, and I recall the jesus one periodically save the state, so if something locks up or crashes, but haven't tried manually killing the app or forcing a reboot yet.

TT, I notice you're using Biography 1.4.2, which has the fixed AllMusic. But as noted in the Biography thread, 1.4.2 can sometimes crash fb2k on exit. Was there ever a fix for this?

I think you are talking about regor's fix here: https://github.com/Wil-B/Biography/pull/7/files
The fix is already included in Georgia-ReBORN when I updated the Biography scripts to v1.4.2.

Other foobar users who are using the original Biography v1.4.2 and not Georgia-ReBORN should also clear the interval
in their scripts/allmusic.js -> send function.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for adding the view options to the recent 2.7 preview dated 2024-04-26. This makes a huge difference in the program's usability. I now have it as my main music player.
Regards, Chris.

 Hello All,

I stream my music from Foobar2000 (on a PC Window10) to my uPnP streamer Atoll ST300 (used in this case as a renderer device, private ethernet network).

No issue with the audio, but I never succeded to make the art album (or other metadata) displayed on my streamer screen during the playback, I get only the message "Foobar2000 audio stream"  displayed in the ST300.

Any idea to make the album art displayed in the renderer screen ?

Thanks for your support.

Acell
