Silly me. I used Template:Fb2k as an indication clickpic wasn't working.
The image linked in Template:Fb2k was http://
Template:Clickpic is not working with http://
but works fine with https:// external image links

Changed image link in Template:Fb2k (now working)

Personally I have never trusted DR numbers, it's quite arbitrary and its measurement is easy to fool. But as many people said they want it for knowing which mastered version they have of a certain record, and for that it works well. If your use case is similar, DR is probably more useful.
I noticed that in your minibar you show Peak and RMS, not DR. I tend to switch to displaying RMS instead of DR in my skin.

As a more general point for discussion (and I've asked this question in different places, but never an answer by anyone).
Because of TPS a myriad of audiotrack keyvals is available, but space in a grid is limited.

I'm showing something that represents clipping and I know it's flawed because it doesn't quantify how far the clipping is over 0dB, but it actually is a very good indicator anyway.

I show LRA and I think that one is quite unique compared to the other keyvals.

I also show both PLR and LUFS-I, but is that really useful since I always play audio with RG (track, apply gain and prevent clipping), and PLR is just LUFS-I corrected by peak. So I think in my usecase PLR makes more sense to display than LUFS-I, I guess.

And I show DR, which I might swap for RMS.

Keyvals available are:
LRA
PLR
LUFS-I
Max LUFS-S
Max LUFS-M
RMS (or RMS+3)
DR

So the question is ... what combination of 4 of the above available keyvals represents the nature of the audiotrack best.
Anyone has an opinion and is willing to share?

Hi, I use DR Meter 0.6. It works great. I'm a non-professional and I'm only interested in the Album DR value. What is the name of the "tag field" so that I can create a new column displaying the value "Album DR"? DR_Album does not work. Thanks for the advice.

UI Element > Utility
It is a very common panel that allows you to easily edit text, font, album art, etc.
Fine by me.

Edit: On second thought: it is not a utility. It visualizes the metadata of a track. I'll leave it like this for now.

It would be great if you could set it from the context menu.
Please explain. Currently the component only needs a template file that can be edited outside fb2k. The file gets reloaded automatically when it changes. What would you like to see in a context menu (which is not trivial because the WebView hijacks the right mousebutton click)?

Well, if I say I added a new setting, obviously it was not there before xd Let me know if that option in aggressive or 10 ms helps somehow.
I tested all combinations of "Output invalidated fix" set to "Null Output" / "Primary Sound Driver" with "Aggressive" / 10 / 25 / 50.
I did not change any values at line 363.
They all fail at some point or another to suppress the popup (half of the times or so). It's so erratic that I cannot even tell which combination of values work better.

I also tried this test FCL on a very old laptop (2010?), but that one definitely has bluetooth issues and also shows the popup when working.

I'm getting hold of a newer JBL Charge and some sets of BT headphones and will test those with the last version of your buttoncode.
I'll also test on my mediacenter and previous main system, both have different BT chipsets.

I'll keep you posted.

Maybe not related but it looks very similar to FLAC files converted from SACD with or without lowpass filter applied upon conversion.

EDIT: Forgot to run a new TPS scan, so the files show the TPS values of the SACD. Did new TPS scan and added thescreenshot.
