3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_vis_spectrum_analyzer
Last post by pqyt -Like Case I also have been experimenting with varying the height of the panel that the horizontal LED Peakmeter lives in.I found a work-around by creating a bitmap that is larger than it should be (according to the documentation) and release a hotfix when it has been tested.
I use two different presets with the horizontal Peakmeter: No legend and 1 Legend (2 Legends simply takes too much space).
You cannot find a panel height that displays both presets correctly in case of 3 channel and 5 channel sources (or upmixes to 3 / 5 channels).
EDIT: By varying the panel height you can find optimums for 2ch, 4ch, 6ch and 8ch.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Old 1.x versions usage
Last post by Peter -If there are known bugs in old versions, please post them replying to this topic.
Thanks for understanding.
There is also a recurring crash when trying to play missing/dead files on a playlist, at least in v1.6. Which surely accounts for many of my reports.Can you please share specific crash log+dump from your computer please? I'm having trouble identifying relevant reports. Can the problem be reproduced on a clean portable install?
The ITUNESCOMPILATION value of zero bug, fixed in 1.6.13, was reported both before and after the 1.5.11 release. But I guess that if a 1.5.12 is on the table, then 1.6 bugfixes will be committed anyway?OK, merged both ITUNESCOMPILATION fixes to 1.5.x source, will release 1.5.12 with these fixes eventually.

MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder
Last post by john33 -@Case - I hate to bother you, but could you please post the latest binary of Helix to this thread? I try using the latest version from Rarewares (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and they both run really slow, and slow down my system...yet CPU utilization isn't near full when encoding using foobar2000.That's odd. I use Ryzen 7s and 9s and I haven't noticed an issue. I'll check it out a little later. Thanks for the notification.
For some reason your version from a few days ago (5.2.2) works flawlessly and fast. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 5700g, Windows 11, 32GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB nvme SSD if that matters.
The last version of helix to work from Rarewares from about March 21 I think? Every version after that either 32 or 64 bit, runs really slow, and hangs the system and just makes everything slow down to almost a crawl yet CPU usage is about half.
Thanks so much!

Last post by pqyt -The Amax in the skippystudio explanation refers to maximum amplitude of the signal, which is 1.0. Their graph also perfectly shows that real RMS can't be as high as peaks.Sorry @case but I'm not going to take your word for it. Removing the division causes all the test files from SOS to have a dBFS reading that is 3dB higher than their expected result. Even the tone://997 reference is wrong.
So remove the division by Amax and things will be correct. Real RMS shows correct RMS, and the checkbox enables the 'RMS+3' mode.
