Audio Hardware / Re: Looking for Media Player appliance as separate HW with specific properties.

Last post by Roseval - 2023-05-27 10:25:08

What you are looking for is called a streamer.
UPnP/DLNA is supported by almost any modern receiver.
Gapless might be an issue as not all DLNA implementations support this.

Development - (fb2k) / Questions about visualization streams

Last post by TF3RDL - 2023-05-27 10:22:08

I have a question regarding visualization streams, especially with get_chunk_absolute(), since the sliding DFT only works if the audio data is fed into the algorithm properly (new data since last calculation)

Does get_chunk_absolute() have requested_length/2 offset ahead actual playback, or perhaps full samples offset ahead of it?

Audio Hardware / Looking for Media Player appliance as separate HW with specific properties.

Last post by n3mmr - 2023-05-27 10:16:05

I'm looking for a high quality audio media player as a self contained and always-on hardware box with specific properties:

Suitable for use as a renderer controlled by BubbleUPnP+Android-phone playing audio files from any and all media servers.

Must be capable to do bit perfect digital audio passthrough for all lossless formats, incl LPCM in sample rates up to at least 96kbps and up to 8 channels, over HDMI.

Must do truly gapless playback of lists of flac, wav or pcm items over DLNA.

Must wake up on being accessed by BubbleUPnP, if in standby.

Does such a beast even exist?

CUETools / CUERipper gives different track signature/crc32 from EAC in AccurateRip summary

Last post by fireattack - 2023-05-27 10:14:20

I was bored and ripped the same CD twice using EAC and CUEripper. The result are identical, as expected.

However I noticed the signature/crc32 for each track in "AccurateRip summary" for each are different.

EAC:

Code: [Select]

AccurateRip summary
 
Track  1  accurately ripped (confidence 2)  [23FA9D4F]  (AR v2)
Track  2  accurately ripped (confidence 2)  [CDA7E211]  (AR v2)
Track  3  accurately ripped (confidence 2)  [187EE0BD]  (AR v2)
 
All tracks accurately ripped

CUERipper:

Code: [Select]

AccurateRip summary

Track  1  accurately ripped (confidence 2)  [AA821E85]
Track  2  accurately ripped (confidence 2)  [BCC5CD24]
Track  3  accurately ripped (confidence 2)  [C787E794]

All tracks accurately ripped

This doesn't make sense to me. Could any explain why does this happen?

Thanks.

CUETools / EAC CUETools DB Plugin: wrong offset is set, CTDB still says Accurately ripped

Last post by fireattack - 2023-05-27 10:06:56

I was trying to help a friend to rip his collections.

He forgot to set the offset initially, and got this result (sorry for being in Chinese, he forgot to change that setting too):

Code: [Select]

As you can see, despite the first one is wrong and has the different CRC, CTDB Status claims it's "Accurately ripped".

Is it normal? If so, how can I even tell if my offset it correct or not?
Thanks.

Full los for the interested.

General - (fb2k) / Re: Upgrade to foobar 2.0, no sound (appears to work, I can see spectrum analyzer)

Last post by Steen5 - 2023-05-27 10:03:52

I can't reply to above, but mention that I also have problems upgrading to 2.0 64Bit. When upgrading I answered "yes" to continue with existing settings, but when starting the 2.0 nothing was there. Not even the connected USB DDC. So, I reverted to 1.6.16, and everything was in place again. I hope someone can help - the software is fantastic!

Indeed, as long time foobar2000/multi-monitor user I would also love to see this finally get resolved (I specifically registered on the forum to lookup and +1 this issue).

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

Last post by TF3RDL - 2023-05-27 08:10:21

A couple of requests for Crossover to add perceptual frequency scale (which admittedly, AIMP uses Mel scale for spectrum analyzer) like this:

And the feature to display multiple channels (including Mid/Side channels) in a single view to this component

And what about the constant-Q transform spectrum analyzer (which I think it deserved a separate component) that uses a sliding DFT? Because I doubt that foo_musical_spectrum will be updated to support 64-bit version of foobar2000 (which I have despite I don't have this component)

Bug: the preview option 'Length in %' seems to do nothing, i have this config; what it does, is the preview 'start in %' but ignore the 'length in %' playing until the 'end in %', if i disable 'end in %' the length is now in seconds even if the checkbox is in %
