In short, indeed appears to be *down*sampling that is problematic. 22050 to 16000 is especially nasty, don't try with headphones!
edit: For sake of completeness:
48000 -> 48000: case 5, works

Yesterday I thought that the AllMusic fetching wasn't the actual cause of this problem, but it is indeed triggered by that.
When HTTP requests for AllMusic are initiated, fetching text/images and you exit foobar during this process,
foobar threads are still active and not properly disposed of, causing foobar to crash when an exit is attempted.
This does not work and you can reproduce the crash, if the artist has AllMusic review and it's not cached:
Code: [Select]
const checkResponse = setInterval(() => {
if (window.IsUnload) {
clearTimeout(timer);
clearInterval(checkResponse);
xmlhttp.Abort();
bioOnStateChange.call(null, resolve, reject, () => void(0));
console.log('EXITING');
fb.Exit();
return;
}
try {xmlhttp.Status && xmlhttp.ResponseText} catch(e) {return;}
clearTimeout(timer);
clearInterval(checkResponse);
bioOnStateChange.call(xmlhttp, resolve, reject, func);
setTimeout(() => {
on_script_unload();
}, 500);
}, 30);
Not sure yet how to prevent this, but foobar or SMP should kill all internal foobar processes immediately or wait until all processes have finished when the user closes foobar, then there won't be any crash...

FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests
Last post by Wombat -Ok, i didn't try that.. but luckily, all others do it here. I choose compression "-4" based on the charts and own tests yeeeeeears ago, all resting compression steps ceased to exist for me, i forgot them completely.. and that continues to this day.SORRRY! Me is a bit outdated it seems. I just tried the latest flac git together with latest clang and indeed it is faster as everything else even with high compression so far! Guess i must change some things here.
But I understand that the code here should primarily be tested under stress conditions of higher compression, where the changes are more pronounced.
Attached a generic clang 03 compile without much additional optimizations for testing latest git.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_midi (foobar2000 v2.0)
Last post by pqyt -I had a long look at the format and what little documentation I could find. Implementing the whole spec is beyond the scope of foo_midi. It is not a sequencer. I'll see if I can convert the lyrics to a LYRICS tag but that's as far as I would like to go.Hello, I'm a MIDI lover.Is there some documentation about WRD?
I have a request, but I would like you to implement WRD, which was created a long time ago as a lyrics display system for the PC-9800 series. (Although it was also used for other purposes)
Is it possible to implement MIDI OUT at the same time?
I want to use the nostalgic SC-88Pro.
MIDI OUT has been requested on GitHub. I am intrigued by the idea but when I started prototyping I ran into a design problem: the Windows API to talk to the MIDI interface requires a different way of receiving the messages. It will require a lot of rework and I don't have the time for that right now.
It was originally a unique lyrics display system for NEC-DOS software called MIMPI, but due to its excellence, it has been implemented in other freeware.
(There are also other extended WRDs such as SherryWRD (extended for Windows) and "演出くんメカ" (extended for MS-DOS))
Since the WRD file itself is a text file, it is probably possible to implement it if it follows the text file specifications.
WRD also requires decompression of reversible image compression used in Japan called MAG.

I think it may be difficult, but it is part of the history of MIDI, so I would appreciate it if you could implement it.

General - (fb2k) / Select folder in Library view by clicking row?
Last post by EAX -Let me show you with a picture as I don't know how to describe it without it.
In the following image, if you click inside the red box, nothing happens, my folders are not selected.
This is not happening in older version of Foobar2000, like in the following image clicking inside the green box, you can select that "row".
Is there any option to change this?

Last post by Defender -Normal 44/16 files I scan with 1600x speed without LUFS-S/M, and 1000x speed with LUFS-S/M.
Is it normal to see such a drop in performance?
DVD-A iso I scan with 500x speed without LUFS-S/M. When I enable LUFS-S/M scanning is deadslow ... I cannot even complete the scan.
How come?
EDIT: SACD iso 45x without LUFS-S/M to 8x with LUFS-S/M.

FLAC / Re: FLAC v1.4.x Performance Tests
Last post by jaro1 -Compression -4 may be pretty good with a clang compile but high compression and multithreaded stress should be clearly faster with GCC builds.
