@Case

Not really a big thing, but during development probably best to address.

I did some compares on your published LUFS-I value to the oneliner calculation based on your published %replaygain_track_peak_db% and %replaygain_track_gain% values. So both methods should be based on the same values and give the same result.

They are not the same in a kind of weird way. Either the values are exactly the same (as I do expect) or the values are exactly 0.1 off.
Can you please confirm that your calculation is correct and not 0.1 off and the problem is the undebugable oneliner?

Oneliner:
$if(%replaygain_track_peak_db%,$puts(LUFS,$add($mul($replace(%replaygain_track_gain%,.,),10),18000))$puts(LUFS_TEN,$left($right($get(LUFS),3),2))$puts(LUFS_ROUND,$ifgreater($get(LUFS_TEN),40,$add($get(LUFS),100),get(LUFS)))$iflonger($get(LUFS_ROUND),4,$left($get(LUFS_ROUND),2).$substr($get(LUFS_ROUND),3,4),$left($get(LUFS_ROUND),1).$substr($get(LUFS_ROUND),2,3)),)

(I guess your value is correct and the oneliner does some truncating somewhere instead of rounding)

EDIT: If the first digit after the decimal point in your calculation is between 0 and (including) 3 results are the same, otherwise the oneliner version gives a 0.1 higher result.

there is something called milkdrop3. it works on ANY audio source.

Yea but I like in the UI as its on a tab below my playlist where I can pick other visualizers.

I have it working. I had to just export all the presets to the correct appdata roaming folder on a fresh x64 install. One thing I noticed is that if I right click on the tab of milkdrop it crashes foobar every time. I used to run an older integration of milkdrop and I think that used to have a right click menu where you could pick the option to go fullscreen.

One other issue at the moment, when I set foobar to always on top, when I double left click on milkdrop tab then it goes a type of fullscreen but foobar is still over the top. In the old version it would go fullscreen and over ride that. It looks like its in fullscreen windowless mode which is fine. I just have to remember if I want fullscreen to disable always on top.

Other than that its working perfect.

The LUFS test version at https://foobar.hyv.fi/foo_truepeak_0.6.8.fb2k-component was just refreshed.

Nice.

Just for my understanding. I removed the old version. Restarted foobar and installed the updated version.
I still see the names I entered for LUFS-S/M which are:
truepeak_scanner_max_lufs_s_track
truepeak_scanner_max_lufs_m_track.

Can you confirm that your default names upon first time installation are:
truepeak_scanner_track_max_lufs_s
truepeak_scanner_track_max_lufs_m

Thx for looking into the speed/performance problem as well.

EDIT: Sorry, let me rephrase .. What are all default names for custom fields you provide upon first-time installation?

EDIT2: You just hit one of my major annoyance points in foobar ...  the settings screen is not resizable and you have now more options than one small settings screen.

Is the Clip count based on the PCM sample value, or the True Peak reading? I am assuming the former, as I have scanned a number of albums showing TP levels of above digital zero, but the Clip shows zero too.
Clip count is calculated from the upsampled signal currently. Are you certain about clip count showing zero? That should not be possible.

Yes, using this string to display the Clip count in the playlist:

%truepeak_scanner_clipped_samples_track%

And this King Tubby CD is showing dBTP overs of up to +2.45dB on one track, but the Clip count is zero for every track.
