WavPack / Re: Tip - Copy without correction files
Last post by bryant -
I see that Double Commander is an equivalent utility available for Linux. I'll give that a shot.

Sometimes I'm also copying over FTP (like with Foobar2000) and just found that FileZilla also has the ability to specify file filters (and probably some other FTP clients do too). Of course, Foobar will play the correction files, but if you never use the lossy WavPack files by themselves you're sort of missing the point...   8)

When trying to download Beta30.exe, "Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml" is detected!?
I can concur. If I download the 32 bits version with Edge I always had to choose 'run anyway' because of a smartscreen warning, but now it won't download at all ('Can not download. Virus detected'). This is coming from the standard Windows Defender. No other anti virus programs installed.

On the 64 bits version the download is fine.

Maybe a component is to blame? Third parties can be responsible for showing/hiding/greying out their own menu items depending on the properties of selection. Can you try another 64bit install without components?

Thanks for the response. I will try your suggestion.
As I understand now this is not a common problem or bug in the V2 beta version, but more an individual problem on my side.

I must say I have exactly the same components installed in the 32 bits and 64 bits version, but I will remove them from the 64 bit version and see what happens.

I removed all the components from the 64 bit version and indeed the problem is gone! Thank you. Now I am going to put them back one by one to see which one is the culprit. Thanks for your suggestion!

Why is it that album/artist doesn't work but catalog number would? Is it because you're translating names?
Yeah, mostly Japanese albums for games etc. I usually tag with VGMDB first since they're more likely to have album information than MB is, and then fill in the rest with Picard, but this doesn't match up with MB a lot of times since MB might just use only the JP name. So the search doesn't work.

Comments aren't needed in this component I don't think, I was just mentioning that because I saw it mentioned earlier.

  • Save metadb.sqlite
  • remove metadb.sqlite
  • Remove music folders in Preferences|Media Library
  • Add music folders

Thanks. Will do and let you know.

- deleted the metadb.sqlite file
- removed the music folders in Preferences|Media libray
- Added them again
- Pressed Apply and waited until Foobar was completely ready with scanning the library

Still the same problem. Right clicking in the Album list on the root folder (large library around 9000 albums) freezes V2 64 bits for several minutes (none responding) before showing the context menu.
I have a portable install of all Foobars (V2 64 and 32bit and V1.6) on a NUC with internal M.2 Samsung SSD. As said, no problem with the V2 32 bit version and no problem with the 1.6 version. All use the same source folders.

It almost seems if the 64 bit version is doing an unindexed search in the database for all the properties before showing the context menu. If I right click in the Album List on a folder with fewer albums the context menu appears quicker. It seems directly related to the number of albums/tracks. As said; V2 32 bits and V1.6 work fine.

My copy has a Write standard tags checkbox which you could copy the functionality of...

https://github.com/marc2k3/foo_musicbrainz64/blob/d51a7256163c5aad8e398a6b753bd332c33de38a/src/TagWriter.cpp#L50-L77

Or if you want something fully custom, make it a comma/semi-colon separated list. That would only take a single text edit box in the preferences. Splitting a string by character to make a set for exclusions would be doddle.

Hello Georgia users, this thread has been quiet, but hopefully I'm not the only one of us that's still here.
I've been having this recurring issue where it tends to throw an error on startup/restart. As soon as I reload everything is fine:

foo_spider_monkey_panel:
Error: Spider Monkey Panel v1.6.1 ({2145C8FF-E749-4BAA-BF12-D520F28D0E15}: Georgia v2.0.3 by Mordred)
setInterval failed:
`delay` must be non-zero

File: georgia-main.js
Line: 2104, Column: 22
Stack trace:
  on_playback_pause@georgia-main.js:2104:22

It's been happening for quite a while, but since it usually disappears I didn't bother reporting it until now. Not entirely sure if this was caused by something like a component upgrade. I've been upgrading non-beta components as updates get released.

I've also noticed this strange behavior where all of my lyrics seem to be alphabetically sorted before being displayed, resulting in them appearing in a completely nonsensical order. Looks like I've got OpenLyrics 1.4 installed since that seemed to be the most recommended current lyrics module. Use of others seemed to be actively discouraged due to inefficiencies/bugs/etc.
