General - (fb2k) / Re: Any way to retain the duration played as you switch to another track?
Last post by MrInsertName -
Sorry about the bug, I didn't take the same track repeating into account at all. The first version didn't need any special handling for any situation as its logic was super simple.

New version has been uploaded that outsources time tracking to a separate thread, track switch time should now be accurate to 10 milliseconds, assuming all components report latency correctly.
The component will now detect if it's the same track we are playing and won't seek to the last recorded timestamp, fixes for example the repeat track play mode.
If the timestamp is beyond the current track's duration the component will start the track from the beginning. Previous versions seeked past the end skipping the track entirely.
No sweat, continual use has seen no errors so far, you've done it mate!!

Again (not sure how many times now XD), thank you so damn much for this! Exam season has me beat sometimes and the music loop I've got (can't really focus with anything other than repetitive music static playing) gets me tired, so a small shift into a more bellicose variant of the same song revitalises me, and this small but oh so good transition just makes the experience so much better (I tend to manual track switch between the two songs quite a bit in an hour)!

God's work mate, I've got a 1-second manual track change fade that suits it so damn well, I literally can't tell that there's a delay XD. You're an absolute beast!!!!

But that's enough of me yammering, it's been an absolute pleasure talking with you!! My (maximised) gratuity to you, fellow Foobar2000 connoisseur!! :DD

..not exactly sure how to mark a forum for closure or something of the stature "Solved!". I'll just sign off here, thanks!

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: TSAC: Very Low Bitrate Audio Compression
Last post by MihaiPopa12346 -
Also, a question: Maybe "TSAC" is named fully as "Transformer Audio Codec" because it uses a transformer model to shrink even more while keeping the quality high?

I compressed a 16-second clip of a song: "Vluarr - They Don't Know" to TSAC @ 3 kbps (setting: -q 5, file size: 6.1 KB) using a Intel i5-4460 CPU (was a pain on compression speed because I don't have a Nvidia GPU, but it worked OK).

Full command line:

Code: [Select]
E:\tsac-2024-04-08-win64>tsac -m E:\tsac-2024-04-08-win64\dac_stereo_q8.bin -M E:\tsac-2024-04-08-win64\tsac_stereo_q8.bin -q 5 c "C:\Users\Public\New folder (14)\New folder (2)\New folder (2)\y2mate.com - Vluarr  They Dont Know_44k_s_flac_16sec.wav" "C:\Users\Public\New folder (14)\New folder (2)\New folder (2)\output_q5.tsac"
E:\tsac-2024-04-08-win64>tsac -m E:\tsac-2024-04-08-win64\dac_stereo_q8.bin -M E:\tsac-2024-04-08-win64\tsac_stereo_q8.bin d "C:\Users\Public\New folder (14)\New folder (2)\New folder (2)\output_q5.tsac" "C:\Users\Public\New folder (14)\New folder (2)\New folder (2)\output_q5.wav"

Please check input and output (compressed as FLAC, because it fits within the 30 MB of files per post limit for the forum). ABX them, and listen them carefully. Post the results when done!

Also attached: TSAC version of the output.

Last post by Ni-dra -
Since lvqcl still hasn't released a 64-bit version I wanted to see if I can improve the quick conversion I did earlier.
Here's a new build that supports both 32-bit and 64-bit foobar2000 versions, dark mode is supported and now fast mode works also on 64-bit variant.

I also added options to resample only chosen samplerates or to resample everything else but the chosen samplerates, so it should allow doing everything mod and mod2 versions did in one file. I didn't see sources for lvqcl's mod variants so this is my custom implementation.

Registered just to give my thanks for this, really appreciate it :)

General - (fb2k) / Re: Discussion of "Default UI Gallery"

Hello.
I just discovered a new version of the program, and the fact of translation to x64.  :o
And I had only one problem (apart from the fact that the latest version of the plugin for APE is not suitable) - activating the saved edited version of the base shell from the previous version does not work.
The size of the window itself and the panels were not applied. Ok, it doesn't matter, I adjusted it by combining with the previous version of the player, BUT... the player window does not "lock" from changing its size (if you pull the corner / side), despite the fact that I set "lock" to three blue separators shown in the screenshot:
[attach type=thumb]25646[/attach]
In all previous versions, this procedure ensured that the size of the entire player window did not change.
How to achieve this in version 2.0?
Thank you.

If you haven't found it out yourself so far, it is found in the Misc-Tab under "Display" → "Columns UI" → "Layout", see screenshot:



Regards

I don't see any sources published and there's no point in rewriting such component. Why on earth don't you use Media Library? You don't have to use any other benefits media library offers, just use it to bind files from select directories to playlists.
While I somewhat agree, there may be a specific reason to prefer binding.
Autoplaylists are updated on real time while the plugin allowed to update a playlist on demand.

On the other hand you may achieve a similar result using a JSP/SMP approach and loading the query on demand.

Anyway, the original web doesn't provide any sources

I only have access to the last version of the plugin (4.1, attached) no source code unfortunately.

I guess because my playlists consist of entries mixed from numerous folders on more than one drive I'm just too lazy to track down and re-enter everything into a media library format.  That and just becoming too used to doing things one way for years.  Bad I know.  Thanks anyway.

Good afternoon. I'm looking for a solution for one problem using foobar2000. What if your wonderful development solves this as well) (or maybe you can suggest how this can be done): I need to add dozens short text notes (tags) for playlists.

@sveakul - what's your usecase for logging the now playing data in reverse order (most recent song, first in the file)?

I'm considering not implementing this at all, and adding instead something better than some of the previous work - a new tab where one can enter arbitrary commands to run on "now playing", with the regular titleformatting, etc. Thoughts?
My use case is that when scrolling through a text file log for a song reference it's usually for something heard recently, and therefore quicker to find when the most recent played are listed first (also requested by Pollux88).

I noticed that my issue reported above with version 4.2 still not showing %datetime% was closed last week as "completed"--does this mean you will be releasing a new version with the fix, or has the code change been implemented immediately without a version number change?  I can live without the ordering change, but it's unusable with a working %datetime% field.

As a "true confession" I must admit I'm already using marc2k3's Play Log which does everything I need, but for those who for whatever reason choose not to install jscript panel 3, your revised plugin is their only choice for 64-bit Foobar versions.
