Support - (fb2k) / Foobar 2.1.4 Crash

Last post by jakedean22 - Today at 11:52

Hi All,

i was using 2.1.3 after upgrading my portable installation from 1.6 i thought it was time to try the newest version. My music is stored on a network drive and whenever i was changing tags or moving files it would randomly crash. i could never figure out what specifically. i ignored it, updated to 2.1.4 and within 5 mins crashes again. i have had about 4 tonight. i want to stay on 2k but i can only stop the crashes when using 1.6.

i updated over the top of my existing installation but also tried a completely fresh one, that didnt work either. i searched other crashes and saw turning off hardware acceleration was an option, turns out mines already off. please see attached crash, if someone can interpret the violation i would be very appreciative. i also send the logs within Foobar.

The security reason to use VPN went away with HTTP... and what's left is if you want to conceal your own IP address for nefarious reasons.

That's a bit too much going the other way. But whatever, this is getting off topic.

Quick update. I believe the RareWares builds are slightly out-of-date. I found more recent source that appears to fix a bug relating to low samplerates. I'll look at this in more depth when I am able. The broadband connection where I am visiting in Spain is slow and intermittent!

If a track is shorter than one minute, you have to listen to all of it for it to count. There are no settings to change behaviour.

This refreshes once per second but only if fb2k is playing.

Code: [Select]

function on_playback_time() }
    window.Repaint();
}

Use setInterval if you need it all the time even when playback is stopped.

@Kraeved Now i tried GXLame and Helix but they did not give ~12kbps. GXLame gave ~16kbps and helix gave ~20kbps + helix gave 22050Hz. MP3ENC looks like not free and looks like it's payment system is down. What can i do?

Commands:
hmp3.exe -V12 hmp3.wav hmp3.v12.mp3
gxlame-t5.3.exe -b 12 -h gxl.wav gxl.mp3

The problem is ESLyrics needs constant refreshing and I don't know how to do that in SMP. (I can do a one time refresh no problem)

I can do constant refreshing in PSS, however the coordinates have to be in per second and I get a slight flicker every second.

It's very unclear what you're trying to do. It's supposed to be for displaying content in SMP without a background so you can see through to PSS underneath. That works as expected.

I have to use a VPN for privacy / security reasons -- banking, crypto security .

What better way to harvest information as a man in the middle than set up a "VPN" and make it free to use?!

IMO there is no need for a VPN if the people you are dealing with take their security seriously – I mean, everyone uses HTTPS for anything critical, don't they? The security reason to use VPN went away with HTTP... and what's left is if you want to conceal your own IP address for nefarious reasons.
