Thanks. I'll have a look at them later. I did a deep scan of the PMD files I already have, found a couple examples and fixed a couple of loading bugs along the way.

Hope all is well sir. Any update in supporting .opi/.ovi on 64bit as well? Last stronghold. Many thanks
@Supermansaga ,

unfortunately I haven't had the time to look at it yet. foo_vis_spectrum_analyzer has taken all my development time.

I use media-autobuild_suite for my compile 'needs' and dont really check the changes of what it puts out. It's as simple as that.

Now that this is 32-bit I get to use it, so cheers for that.

I had 'Write standard tags' unchecked and 'Always write ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE' unchecked, but it was still written because I guess it differed from the DATE as mentioned in the change log, even though DATE (standard tags) is not written. That seems not right. Both were greyed out in the preview.

Performer (Instrument) tagging is neat. Now to decide what to do with it ... ;D

General - (fb2k) / [Feature Request] 2.2 Disable Album Hover Tooltip / Overflow scrollbars
Last post by Bertilak -
The latest preview 2024-04-07 fixes previous UI color problems, but I noticed there is tooltip box that pops up displaying any album title that's too long to fit in the pane.
I think it's a little disruptive and distracting sometimes, so I think it would be good to have the option to disable this as a feature.

It also seems like the auto-appearing scrollbars are new, but I think would be good if this could be disabled too.

This is what it looks like:


If there is an option, please correct me. I did not find one though so I think this would be an improvement to be able to disable.

General - (fb2k) / Short playback pause with wireless headphones on manual track change (Exclusive)
Last post by TomKure -
Hi,

Not an expert here, that much will become obvious while you read my query, but I hope someone will be able to understand my problem.

Is it possible to make foobar keep sending audio data (null/silence) to selected audio device in exclusive mode when manually changing tracks and seeking while the audio is being decoded/buffered (or whatever is happening before playback starts again)? When I manually change track when listening through my wireless headphones (Sennheiser Momentum 4 and the BTD 600 dongle), the first approx half a second of the track is missing. This does not happen when I use non-exclusive mode. Also, when using exclusive mode with my Topping D10s DAC and when I seek within a track, sometimes, on the D10s' display, I can see the sampling rate go from 44.1 (played file's sampling rate) to 48 KHz (default sampling rate in Windows) for a split second and back to 44.1. This tells me the audio device gets "released" by foobar while foobar is "seeking" before it gets locked for playback again. (Or foobar does not release the device, instead it starts sending it audio (silence?) in 48 KHz for a split second?) This is undesirable behavior for me, because sometimes (probably due to buggy USB audio drivers or something), the playback hangs on seek and foobar gives me an error message saying device not responding (or something like that, don't remember the message exactly), this happens most with my E-MU 0404 USB, due to the device being quite old, especially the drivers, made for Win 7 in the latest beta version and I am on Win 11 (not foobar's fault, of course).

So in all, is there a way to make foobar not "release" the audio device (or change the sampling rate for a split second) in exclusive mode while seeking or manually changing tracks? Maybe the last played file's sampling rate could keep being used for the split second "silence" while foobar is decoding the file?
