General - (fb2k) / Re: SeekBar in Boom Player
Last post by zK -The Boom player is the lightest player on Planet Earth. I was very well served by the MPC-BE player for quick playback of audio files, especially when I'm in front of a new album and want to have a quick overview of its contents.
Boom player is surprisingly even more responsive than MPC-BE, but the absence of the SeekBar feature literally KILLS the program's usefulness. Using the "<< >>" buttons as an alternative is not a valid option and is therefore terribly counterproductive.
I've been a devoted fan of foobar2000 for many, many years. As I had a recently closed CD store, I use it for the purpose of organizing a large (huge) library of audio and video files (I use the "mpv" component) that I ripped on the computer. There is no other player/organizer of audio and video files in the world that offered me as much speed in tasks as foobar2000 (I took care to test everything that exists), all thanks to the excellent workflow offered by extraordinary customization that can be done in the software. For anyone who knows what they're doing, foobar2000 is clearly and comfortably way above the top.
As a result, having integrated a theme into foobar2000 that I developed and constantly enriched over the years, I have preferred to use an accessory player for quick auditions. "Boom" would be - by far - this player. It offers a taste of foobar2000 without having to resort to theme switching.
So, first of all, I would like to express my immense gratitude to those responsible for foobar2000. A large file organization that could last around a year was possible to complete in a few weeks, thanks to the software's aforementioned customization capacity.
And finally, I fully endorse the thoughts expressed above so that, with due respect, the addition of the so-called "SeekBar" feature to Boom is effectively considered.
Thank you for reading this petition.

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.
