Try what oops suggests here:  https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,126733.msg1058134.html#msg1058134

Are you running the update from the auto-updater or doing an install from downloaded file?

I am going to attempt to remove  foo_vis_vumeter 0.9.5.0 from my system completely as it was updated over top of a previous release. 9.2 Then I will attempt to install it from scratch. Could some kind person tell me what keys in the registry that I need to find to remove it better still a .reg file to run to remove it.

I did a reset on configuration and than re-installed foo_vis_vumeter 0.9.5.0 all is normal again just have to re-install my plugins that I need thanks for all your help.

Here is a update: foo_vis_vumeter 0.9.5.0  works great until I introduce SACD and DVDAudio plugins when it crashes. Have to do a reset to recreate crash reports and dumps

m4a playback with a usb drive?
With a USB drive plugged into a computer you can play almost anything! 

I have a USB CD/DVD/Blu-Ray drive that I can plug into my laptop.   DVDs & Blu-Rays require "special software".   VLC is free and it works with most DVDs.    I also have CyberLink Power DVD which is more reliable and it plays Blu-Ray.

I can plug a thumb drive or USB solid state drive into my Android phone or tablet and play almost any audio format, and most video formats except DVDs & Blu-Rays.

i don't understand why no cd-players or booming systems come with newer technology?

CDs and other "shiny discs" getting outdated.  ;)   Bluetooth is pretty standard on car stereos and you can get boom boxes with Bluetooth.

There is a VERY specific standard for audio CD called Red Book.   Audio CDs don't have regular "computer files".  That's why you need special ripping software to copy them and make computer files.

Some MP3 players can play MP3 and there are car CD players that can play M4A or WMA files, etc., but a regular CD player is only required to support regular red book audio CDs.  

DVDs & Blu-Rays do have computer-formatted files but again they are very specific format standards.   And they are encrypted so you can't copy the files to your computer without black market software to crack the copy protection.  

Most DVD & Blu-Ray players will play MP3s, M4A and a variety of other audio/video files, but again its not "required".

FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests
Last post by bennetng -
Looks like I haven't been posted in this thread for more than a year. If there is no significant change in the encoding algorithm, the effect of -p is usually quite consistent among different materials. On the other hand -e is kind of speculative unless you are familiar with the types of materials you are dealing with (e.g. fake hi-res, chiptune, test tones etc.)

Of course, for those who have already examined other settings like -b -r, -l,  -A or even -q, the playground is even bigger, but then the tweaks will become more and more content specific.

PS: to newcomers, I am not the OP of this thread, it was just a coincidence due to forum moderation, shortly after I found a bug in the CUETools.Flake encoder.

In 2021 we added GNUDB:

#define freedbdefaultServer L"gnudb.gnudb.org"

In April 2024 it was removed for good:

#define freedbdefaultServer L"freedb.dbpoweramp.com"

it is physically impossible for the current version to lookup gnudb.gnudb.org:

   if (Internet.Server.Length() == 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;
   if (Internet.Server.Comparei(L"freedb.org") == 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;      // migrate to replacement
   if (Internet.Server.Comparei(L"freedb.freedb.org") == 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;      // migrate to replacement
   if (Internet.Server.Comparei(L"gnudb.gnudb.org") == 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;      // migrate to replacement

Anyhow thanks for letting us look at that code again it is now:

   if (Internet.Server.FindSubStr(L"gnudb.org", 1, true) != 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;      // migrate to replacement

So 'uniqcodes' cannot be used as someone who had setup uniqcode.gnudb.org would still lookup, we have closed that one today.

We have run AccurateRip free for all programs for 15 years, a much better track record than your offering which is changing the terms on a yearly basis.

GNUDB will die off now that no major program is submitting to it.

If our program was looking up on gnudb, we would see posts as we did one year ago about garbage track listings being returned because no email is supplied. We get zero of those now, because your system is no longer used.

freedb has had such a poor history of ripping off those who filled it, prior to freedb it was cddb which became gracenote, now your changes which have taken ownership of public data...

Can't play here either, same error. I came here because I tried all other fixes I could come up with first - addding new cookies, checked different dercoding methods but the error suggests its not even getting to the decoding and testing internal and external yt-dl.exe and since I saw above, I also got yt-dlp.exe and enabled it in maintenance but it is definitely not working, error details are below

Unable to open item for playback (Youtube Source: foo_youtube: server error (403) from rr1---sn-u5a3u5a3-h5oes.googlevideo.com | ffmpeg: Server returned 403 Forbidden (access denied) | foobar2000: Forbidden (403)):
"www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdDVMCbG0FM"

one other thing, it does actually work with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8A9Y1Dq_cQ yet not others, I tried about 15 in total and couldn't find another that works.

thanks for any help

I'm going to try later.

Uninstall Foobar completely then reinstall with just vumeter without any other plugins. see how this goes. or do without vumeter it was nice while it worked but not absolutely necessary.
