Text Visualizer 0.1.0.0 (foo_vis_text) 2024-06-02

foobar2000 v2.1.5 64-bit
Default UI element
Layout Editing Mode > Add New UI Element... > Playback Visualization > Text Visualizer
Menu > View > Visualizations > Text Visualizer

Both crash.

Why is this component type Visualization?
I thought it was the 64-bit version of Text Display (UI element).

Thanks.

I tested the compression of silence: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,122413.0.html .  (Post says "5.1" but it was 5.0.)
TTA isn't that bad for a codec that doesn't handle wasted bits - compare to Monkey's and ALAC.
I could get smaller files by manually setting block sizes. 29k with ALS, 70k with FLAC, and 220k with WavPack --pair-unassigned-chans (edit: fixed numbers)

Anyway, don't whine over people who make a little code-improvement project. The TTA reference implementation isn't good.
As for the format itself, there is one thing to it, that sometimes is useful in some applications: the encoded bit stream is unique. (Bar the encryption feature, which I haven't seen anything being able to play except command-line ffplay.) Would make it ideal for p2p distribution.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / foo_vis_text (Text Visualizer)
Last post by pqyt -
foo_vis_text is a foobar2000 component that implements a text information panel.

It takes a text file and displays it. When the text file is an HTML file, the component sends playback notifications to the panel. The panel can react to those notifications and adjust its output using Javascript code.

Take a look at the included template for an example implementation.

Available in the Components repository and on GitHub.

Support - (fb2k) / Re: A file's album art was causing foobar2000 to crash on startup

Can't replicate a problem. If there is a crash submitting the crash info or posting the crash log/minidump here would be most helpful.
If there are no crash logs to post, telling which foobar2000 version you are using and what file format you are adding the art into would be the helpful for anyone trying to replicate or fix the problem.

I suspect it's a third party component crashing. If there are no crash logs, it might make sense to check Windows Event Viewer and the Application logs there. It's possible the crashing component is indicated in an error message logged there.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Playlist-Manager-SMP
Last post by gadgetogogo -
First of all, thank you for developing this - I am slowly getting familiar with the many possibilities offered by your script, and I'm particularly liking the ability to keep all autoplaylists with their queries in a convenient JSON file.
I have a problem that makes startup and any layout changes very slow: everytime I launch foobar or make a change to my CUI layout, SMP Playlist Manager apparently deletes the playlistManager_xxx.json.old and playlistManager_xxx_sorting.json.old files, which triggers two Windows popups asking me to confirm permanent deletion of this file. This causes great slowdown and happens when my portable foobar is not on the C: drive, whether it's on a USB key plugged into the machine or on a network drive. When it's on the C: drive, the .old files go to Recycle Bin so I don't get the popups, and foobar startup is much faster. After enough backup .zips have been generated, I also get the same popups asking me to confirm deletion of the oldest backup.
I tried to disable the confirmation dialog in Recycle Bin properties, but that didn't help.

How can I prevent this from happening ? Disable the deletion of those files entirely ? I'd be OK with having a million .old files piling up in the folder that I'd have to manually delete once in a while, if that's the only way to get around it...

Thanks in advance for any help!

PS: Config: Windows 10, latest foobar x86, latest SMP (mod version from your github) and latest SMP Playlist Manager. I'm using this portable foobar on several machines, some of which I don't have admin rights for (at work).
I tried with a clean foobar install with only CUI + SMP + SMP-Playlist-Manager, and observed the same behavior.

Support - (fb2k) / A file's album art was causing foobar2000 to crash on startup
Last post by Ojos Azules -
1. Added album art to a file and it was failing every time so I had to kill f2k from taskbar.
2. I added album art by drag-drop from chromium. Somehow it got added.
3. Causing foobar2000 to crash
4. I had to find the file and remove the album art using MP3Tag.
5. If anyone wants to reproduce the problem. The Album art that caused the problem - https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e1/Panic%21_at_the_Disco_-_Vices_%26_Virtues.jpg
