foobar2000 mobile / Re: foobar2000 mobile on eversolo?
Last post by jott_ha -
Meanwhile I managed to transfer some files to the Eversolo, but only via tunessync and I have no idea where the files are. It must be an invisible folder, I guess? The file transfer doesn‘t work everytime, so I am not at the end of the road…

There were changes to how menu items were handled in 3.4.20...

https://jscript-panel.github.io/docs/changes/3-4-x/#3420

Although the changelog only explicitly mentions disabled menu items, it also refuses to run items that are never displayed. It seems like Random pools does exactly this making them for keyboard shortcuts only.

https://github.com/marc2k3/foobar2000-sdk/blob/7f047cf2e541dd2f756c023195ef95285947d201/foobar2000/SDK/menu.h#L53-L54

Quote
//! Retrieves display string and display flags to use when menu is about to be displayed. If returns false, menu item won't be displayed. You can create keyboard-shortcut-only commands by always returning false from get_display().

Running hidden items should be perfectly fine and is expected to work.

As for the data loss on downgrade, it's because I changed the SDK target version to fb2k v2. When you upgrade from a v1 compatible component that saved its config in configuration\foo_jscript_panel3.dll.cfg, settings are migrated to config.sqlite and the old .cfg is deleted by fb2k itself. So if you downgrade, the existing configuration stored in config.sqlite is ignored because the component is compatible with v1 again so it relies on that .cfg file that no longer exists - it starts as if it's a fresh install.

Support - (fb2k) / Foobar - Not Responding
Last post by john@freiman.us -
I've been using Foobar2000 preview build 2.2 2024-02-19 and have the software has frozen/became Not Responding on several occasions.

My media library is located on another Windows computer on my local network and I have the locations selected under Foobar2000's Media Library setting.

I have saved a dump via Windows Task Manager.  Everything else on my computer and network is working fine.  This has happened at least 4 times in the past several months.

The foobar2000.dmp file is 288MB so I don't know how to upload it and I am not seeing way to generate a crash report from inside Foobar2000.

Support - (fb2k) / foobar2000 don't search subfolders of ..\..\music\mods folder ???
Last post by Skybuck -
This mods folder was kinda old, I just re-0created a new one, however foobar2000 refuses to scan the subfolders ?!

Isn't this weird ?! Anyway to make foobar2000 scan subfolders as well ?

Like I "sorted" some mods based on type/kind of music...

This is kinda pissing me off...

Basically there is a VHD mounted as J:\

And it contains J:\Music

and also J:\Music\Mods

and also

J:\Tools\Foobar2000\

So... doesn't matter if it scan J:\Music or ..\..\Music...

It refuses to scan anything behind J:\Music\Mods

Does foobar2000 only scan two layers deep by default ?!

How to make it scan deeper ?!?

Hello @marc2k3 I've backed up my system and restored foobar2k with all my plugins to my new install, it was all good till I updated from 3.4.17 to 3.5.1... This piece of code seems to be broken which I'm not sure why?

Code: [Select]
if (currentPlaylist === 1) { command = "File/Random pools/Assign keyboard shortcuts/GensokyoRadio Algorithm [Favourites]: All pools"; }
else { command = "File/Random pools/Assign keyboard shortcuts/GensokyoRadio Algorithm [All]: All pools"; }
fb.RunMainMenuCommand(command);

This exact piece of code worked before and the Random pools plugin hasn't changed at all. I've attached an image to show it's at the same location. I've even discussed this setup over here before as well https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,110516.msg1036207.html#msg1036207

Also I wanted to let you know that while I downgraded to an older version to check, I've lost all my tags set by JScript3... Luckily I have a backup of my old foobar2k but it would be better if you could put a huge red box to prevent users from downgrading... it looks like when I downgraded in Playback Statistics page you mentioned about how changing the title formatting will just erase the entire database, looks like downgrading did exactly that which caused this issue... Any idea what could be the reason behind this as well?

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: NEW ESLyric v0.5 - an alternative lyric show component
Last post by ngs428 -
This would seem to me to be a bug specific to the Plex player (omitting the first line of lyrics saved with BOM) that should be addressed by the Plex developer, and not a cause for alarm for anyone who "accidentally" saved their embedded lyrics fom ESLyric that way.  I let ESLyric save into tag on a test leaving the BOM box checked (its default setting), and the lyrics were all there and perfectly readable starting with the first line of the panels in the AIMP and MusicBee players as well as the standards-picky Kid3 tagger.

Correct, it is a bug in Plex, but others may be using Plex and experience the same behavior.  I don't see it as an issue with ESLyrics, just more of an FYI for those who saved as +BOM and are using Plex. 

An issue was opened on their fourms at: https://forums.plex.tv/t/1st-line-of-sidecar-lyrics-omitted-when-lrc-file-saved-as-utf-8-bom/878789
