3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_vis_spectrum_analyzer

Thanks for your latest update. This thing has made a lot of head-way in a short period of time. However, I'm still getting the disappearing artwork issue.

The origin of all these problems is the different behavior of CUI.  Not a blame as such but it is very difficult and time-consuming to test multiple configurations. I use DUI only. F.e. the nagging lock-up problem only occurs with CUI (but has been fixed finally).

Rant aside, I'll try to fix it. I underestimated the popularity of CUI.
So, I'd like to have a new go if you're up to it?
If it's all the same to you, not for the upcoming release. Adding the spectogram required additional internal rewiring, e.g. a scrolling X-axis. Reducing the release tempo and focusing more on stability and polishing should be a priority, imho.

I understand.

I'll install current version to see if I can "fix" the disappearing art thingy, which most probably will also be an issue in my skin as well.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_scheduler
Last post by svfn -
I'm having a weird issue with foo_scheduler since Windows 10 updated itself to 1809.
I use foo_scheduler as an alarm clock, meaning I set it to wake the PC up at 9 AM and start playback, and put the PC to sleep before going to bed.

Everything was fine up until now, but ever since versiuon 1809, what happens is:
- The PC wakes up at 9 AM
- It starts playback
- No sound comes out
- As soon as I interact with the keyboard/mouse, the sound is instantly on and playing

Things I've tried to resolve the issue:
- Tried different audio devices: HDMI audio, Onboard, USB soundcard - Same thing.
- Made a clean installation of Windows 10 1809 and updates - Same thing.
- Disabled the lock screen, and requiring a password after sleep - Same thing.
- Restored an old backup of Windows 10 1803 - Works fine.

Did anyone else encounter this? Could you guys test this as well, if you have an 1809 system?

Don't have a 1809 system anymore. But on v22H2 it works if you disable require sign in after sleep, under sign in options.

I guess you did.

Now things are getting stable I hope you did not forget about transparency.
To refresh your memory, I was able to issue screen refreshes that repainted my background art behind your plugin (0.7.0.0-beta-4) on screen resizes.

Current issues you are having with art disappearing seem to be quite similar to what I encountered in the old version and was able to "fix" by putting a $showpanel_c(PQRT,0) the line above $showpanel_c(PQRT,1) where the panel is actually displayed.

Only things that did not work was coming back from your plugin in full screenmode (which I won't use) and restoring from being minimized. In case that is not solved yet I most probably have a workaround for that now since Marc3k made some general tags that allow me to detect that fooBar is coming back from being minimized.

So, I'd like to have a new go if you're up to it?

I don't understand the technical reasons for this migration to Wayland, but isn't this exactly the sort of snag we should expect (until everyone adapts their software, in this case Wine)?

Audio Hardware / Re: is it worth to buy an external dac ?
Last post by fooball -
Those things tell you the digital performance of the audio processing, they say nothing about the analogue performance.  Realtek (or whoever might supply an audio interface chip set) have no control over how a systems integrator actually uses the chips.

A 32-bit DAC would be of no use if the electronic noise floor is a 10-bit hiss!

To my mind, the most significant benefit of an external DAC is to get the analogue signal as far away as possible from the EMI within a PC, preferably on a de-coupled power supply.  BUT... if you can't hear any interference coming out of your PC (even over silence), then you don't need it.

I am running fb2k in an Arch-based distro (EndeavourOS). With a recent major system update to KDE6 (or a minor unrelated update), something weird changed about foobar2000's shortcuts behaviour: ...
Just to link everything together: I have posted to KDE's issue tracker: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483982 - my current guess it that the switch from X11 to Wayland changed some underlying behavior, which now needs some (hopefully) minor patch somewhere in a new input handling stack.
