Hi.
>Do you mean that this fresh foobar install fails to launch?
Yes.
>I don't know what changed with wine 6.6 to cause it, try asking on winehq forums.
Yes, I will do that
Probably Ubuntu-based Linux Distributions.

Many Many Thanks.

As for your custom foobar config, one of the 3rd party components might require vcrun2015 so you can try to (re)install it with winetricks.
Code: [Select]
wine: Call from 7B0100F6 to unimplemented function api-ms-win-core-winrt-error-l1-1-0.dll.RoOriginateError, aborting
That's the reason anyway your foobar is crashing on launch. I don't know what changed with wine 6.6 to cause it, try asking on winehq forums.

My previously working install of foobar2000 v1.6.4 started to crash when launched after upgrading from wine-staging 6.5 to 6.6.
Following this advice of installing previously uninstalled vcrun2015 with winetricks fixed the issue.
I did not dive deep enough into the problem to identify which component caused the issue, but something chanced between 6.5 and 6.6 that now require vcrun2015 for foobar2000 with my setup.

Anyway, thanks for the advice.

It sounds as if the MSVC runtime replacement that's a part of Wine has broken with 6.6. It may be worth reporting the issue to the Wine developers, if only so they can fix this regression.

Trying to update my 1.6.4 installation with foobar2000_v1.6.5.exe on wine-staging 6.7 now produces a "run as"  dialogue box that demand I log in with administrative rights to continue. I can't seem to get past that one....
I suspect it has to do with this:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40613
and the changes thus recently done:
https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/tree/master/patches/server-default_integrity
...But I might be wrong....

Hello,

does anyone know how to fix the ActiveX htmlfile error?:

ActiveXObject_Constructor failed:
Failed to create ActiveXObject object via CLSID: htmlfile
const doc = new ActiveXObject('htmlfile');

Is there a fix or workaround?
I am using the latest Spider Monkey Panel v1.4.1 with foobar 1.6.5...

Thank you

- TT

I doubt it can be fixed.

In my experience only basic scripts work and they are more likely to work with an old version of foo_jscript_panel, e.i. 2.3.7 rather than SMP.

You need to install the Gecko support in Wine to have basic HTML controls, and even then, it's not guaranteed to be compatible with Windows.

Does anyone know if utils.CheckFont and gdi.Font are working correctly under Wine?

I've put custom ttf fonts in /usr/share/wine/fonts and ~/.wine/drive_c/Windows/fonts
and it seems are not initialized with utils.CheckFont and loaded via gdi.Font in SMP...

If I change for example the font in Preferences -> Columns UI -> Colors and fonts, the font to the custom font changes and is displayed correctly!

Also tried from etc/fonts/fonts.conf

~/.fonts
/usr/share/fonts
/usr/local/share/fonts

without any luck...

I have them in /home/user/.local/share/fonts and they show up in the scripts.

Maybe you must try to clean up the wine instalation and start a fresh profile.


Uninstall wine and remove the wine folders in your home. Don't forget the ones in /home/user/.cache

Install it gain, put your fonts in :local/fonts and make a new profile with env WINEPREFIX=home/user/.yournewprofile winecfg

The new profile must have winegecko and load the necessary fonts.

Now with env WINEPREFIX=home/user/.yournewprofile winetricks install GDI plus and the special caracters must be shown in script panels.

As a foot notes I always have better results using the default user interface.

gdi.Font working fine for me in SMP. I install all fonts in /usr/share/fonts and then link with wine using:

$ cd ${WINEPREFIX:-~/.local/wine/foobar2000}/drive_c/windows/Fonts && for i in /usr/share/fonts/**/*.{ttf,otf}; do ln -s "$i" ; done

Hello,

I still have problems with Opentype (.otf) fonts being not initialized with utils.CheckFont and loaded via gdi.Font in AFTER installing GDI+.
But Truetype (.ttf) fonts are displayed correctly... I don't know if it's a SMP or Wine issue, can anyone confirm?

Last month I wrote two emails to Wine-Devs and still haven't received an answer... I guess they have other problems ;)
Here is an excerpt from the mail:

Any ideas?

The only downloadable form of GDI+ is for Windows XP, and Windows XP never supported OTF.

Thanks for this, Yotsuya.
I have installed wine on my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS system and downloaded the Foobar executable "foobar2000_v1.6.7" and executed the command “wine foobar2000_1.6.7.exe” to install it using wine, but the command is not recognised.
I'm now stuck.
Where have I gone wrong?
My goal is to install global hotkeys as explained further down in your post.

Cheers

John

Does your terminal error say file not found? Execute the command in the directory where foobar2000_1.6.7.exe is located.

The original post in this thread was last updated in 2009 and is outdated. Since you are on Ubuntu, easiest way to install foobar2000 is probably from snap.

Re: Running Foobar in Linux

OK Mikko, thanks for tha advice. I have now re-installed it using snap and will try setting the global hotkeys. Are the instructions for that still valid?

Re: Running Foobar in Linux

Can't say as I never used global hotkeys. Chances are your media keys work out of the box. If not, try the instructions in Yotsuya's post.

Re: Running Foobar in Linux

Global hotkeys don't work under Wine. They do bind, but don't respond globally. This is Wine's fault for not implementing this in a way that would work easily with all common desktop environments. It may be harder to implement this for Wayland desktops, for instance.

Also, Media Key binding doesn't really work at all, either.

Re: Running Foobar in Linux

Thanks Kode54, that's really helpful.
Of course I'm disappointed the hotkeys don't work under wine/ubuntu but at least I can stop banging my head against the wall trying.
All the best
John

@John Pym You can workaround this limitation with a custom keyboard shortcut. For example in gnome. Going to settings-keyboard shortcuts. Scroll down and press +. Add a name "foobar2000 play/pause" in command add
Code: [Select]
env WINEPREFIX="path to your wine prefix" wine path to foobar2000.exe /playpause
in shortcut choose a key combination (ctrl+alt+p) for example.
You can also use the original media keys but you must disable default shortcuts and you will lose the gnome integration (mpris, etc)
With foobar2000 running this shortcuts works even if it is not selected. Problem is that if is not running the shortcut start the player instead of fails.
Same for the rest of foobar commands (/stop /exit etc)
Is not perfect but usable

I *think* you'll need at least wine 4.0 to run foobar2000, but I can't be sure.

On Mint v20.3-Xfce, at least with PlayOnLinux (sudo apt install playonlinux)... it (foobar2000_v1.6.10.exe) seems to work on older versions (I think I tried Wine v3.0.5). but when I loaded it up initially, since I got a two screen setup (monitor and TV, both 1080p), the Foobar2000 program seemed to stretch across both screens and I had to shrink it down etc. but I did not really try anything beyond this very basic test (and I did not install Mono/Gecko if that matters).

so while it seems to work on Wine prior to v4, I would probably advise sticking with Wine v4 or newer as a general guideline if possible.

but on my Mint v20.3-Xfce install in regards to Foobar2000 (currently 'foobar2000_v1.6.10.exe')... it seems Wine v6 series, at least '6.13-staging' (64bit) through PlayOnLinux, works a little better than older and newer versions in the sense of when you got some music in there and you hover the mouse pointer over it, and it has that little popup, on my current use of Foobar2000 with '6.13-staging' through PlayOnLinux, if you try to right click etc when mouse is over the top of that little popup, it works as expected and registers the click. but in many others I tried, like say newest stable Wine v7 (through more of a typical system installation), it won't register the click.

it's not a huge deal though as I can deal with that issue should I have to (as I just do what I got to do before the little popup occurs when hovering mouse over a track etc), but it's nice to have it functioning properly since I don't have to worry about working-around that small issue.
For music I suggest (using Foobar2000)... MP3 (LAME) @ V5 (130kbps). NOTE: using on AGPTEK-U3 as of Mar 18th 2021. I use 'fatsort' (on Linux) so MP3's are listed in proper order on AGPTEK-U3.
