This is helpful.  I didn't install any new anti-virus recently, however now I'm wondering if WSH is somehow disabled on my PC.  Trying to find how to check this...

Just out of curiosity, here's a simple html clock that requires the running of a local js file Colour clock
Extract that and load the index file in your browser. If you see the current time and a background with colour that keeps changing, then the problem isn't system wide and just something within foobar, try updating it. However, if the clock doesn't load the time and just shows 00.00.00 and one background, then maybe you could try disabling your antivirus  then seeing if the clock and/or foobar loads properly. If not antivirus maybe some malware protection. I had Avast in the long ago and it gave me errors as well because it was blocking scripts, which is also likely the reason you are getting the UI hacks error too

EDIT: because i assume that 'panel' error is present because of common7.js can't be loaded, so 'panel' object' not declared.

var p = new panel("something"....

Thanks for this.  I tried the html clock and it seems to be working.  Nevertheless I uninstalled Avast just to see if it might help.  No luck.  Short of a new installation of Windows, I'm not sure what to try next.  I'll post my foobar console once more, just in case it provides any other clues.  ("'panel' is undefined" ??)

this is a very different and far less serious error to what you had before. this shows that script inside the panel is actually running. you're just missing files that are required by the script. check the file path indicated above.

The similar artist script is no longer working but it is creating an artist.getSimilar.json file with this inside of it

you have to create your own API key, see the last.fm sync thread for a manual

just make sure the marc2003 folder and the scripts that go inside each panel come from the same major version. common7 and 8 are both valid versions but they are not compatible with each other - that's why renaming did not work. they even run side by side but only when the required dependency files are in place.

if you use files from the same zip download, you won't have a problem.

Please, someone who knows?
I was read about Windows 10 , I plan to swich to it, when it comes.
Problem is that Internet Explorer doesn't exist anymore, they use Spartan browser and Cortana.
Does this will impact on scripts that use IE?

On the newest build released today (10041) I am having constant problems with wsh_panel_mod crashing. Nothing has changed in regards to my foobar installation, as it resides on a network share. When running foobar from other machines on the network with older versions of the windows operating system (including the the January 9926 build) there are no issues. So just from my own personal experience so far it does seem like there is definitely an issue. The crashes happen regardless of if i select jscript or jscript9 as the script engine. Usually I'm just getting the "Aw, Crashed " messaged in wsh_panel itself, and re-applying the script configuration will bring the panel content back. Though on a few occasions today wsh_panel_mod has crashed the entire foobar2000 program. Next time it brings the program crashing down i will try and post more details.

Edit: I should probably note that the crashes seem to be happening only with marc2003's scripts, as I have not yet seen an "Aw, crashed" message in the panel hosting jsplaylist. Which is not to say there's a problem with these excellent scripts, I'm pretty sure this is entirely related to the new windows build as I have never had an issue in years of running these scripts until today.

What build do you mean? Windows 10?

function on_mouse_lbtn_dblclk() {
    var arr = ["Microsoft.XMLHTTP", "htmlfile", "Shell.Application", "WScript.Shell", "Scripting.FileSystemObject", "ScriptControl", "dummy"];
    var objs = {};
    var text = "";
    for (i in arr) {
        try {
            objs[arr[i]] = new ActiveXObject(arr[i]);
            text += arr[i] + " seemed to load ok.\n";
        } catch(e) {
            text += arr[i] + " ain't working.\n";
        }
    }
    fb.ShowPopupMessage(text);
}

Microsoft.XMLHTTP seemed to load ok.
htmlfile seemed to load ok.
Shell.Application seemed to load ok.
WScript.Shell seemed to load ok.
Scripting.FileSystemObject seemed to load ok.
ScriptControl seemed to load ok.
dummy ain't working.

a quick google found this...

edit: looking again at how that is worded, it might only apply to enterprise versions of windows? i guess we'll see when it comes out.

did you try that code snippet in my post above yours. does htmlfile fail to load?

                fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
                folder = fb.ProfilePath + "Temp";
                filename = folder + "\\"+ artist + " - " + title + ".m3u";

                               if (fso.FolderExists(folder))   .....

there's no point trying that script. it was only after i posted that i checked and saw that JSplaylist uses the htmlfile ActiveXObject. strangeluck already indicated JSplaylist works fine on that new windows 10 build.

also, i forgot you had your own internet scraping scripts so it's pointless testing for the stuff i use when you could be using something else different.

as for your m3u question, look at utils.glob in the docs.

 var arr = utils.Glob(folder + "\\*.*").toArray();

big assumption here but if you used the p.save function in my common file to create your m3u files, that would explain why it doesn't work.

           case 50:
                p.path = p.eval("%path%");
                p.artist = p.eval("%artist%");
                p.title = p.eval("%title%");
                
                fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
                folder = fb.ProfilePath + "YT";
                filename = folder + "\\"+ p.artist + " - " + p.title + ".m3u";
                if(!fso.FolderExists(folder)) fso.CreateFolder(folder);

                function save_file(x) {
                try {
                g_text = p.path;
                ts = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, 2, true, -1);
                ts.Write(g_text);
                ts.close();
                } catch(e) {
                fb.trace("Error saving text: " + e);
                 }
                  }

                save_file(filename);
				break;

ts = fso.OpenTextFile(filename, 2, true, -2);

fso.OpenTextFile(filename, 2, true, -1);

creating the htmlfile ActiveXObject works.
clipboardData.setData() works.
clipboardData.getData() works.
open() works.
createElement() works.
innerHTML and innerText works.
getElementsByTagName works.
className works.
close() works.
testing complete. everything seems ok.
