General Audio / Re: Album Art Downloader XUI

I realized very well that the Deezer was working, I read the topic and did not see such problems with others, I hope the scripts will be updated by those who understand their main 5-6 sites.

Sites break scripts all the time, I fix broken scripts as they are reported to me (so if people aren't using a given script, it doesn't matter if it's broken), when I get time. Scripts are all easily editable so if anyone else wants to contribute a fix those are always welcome too.

Sometimes a website just makes itself un-usable to scripts, in which case that source can no longer be used at all, sadly.

Movie/Multichannel audio / Re: Changing Pitch -0,1% - 4,271% (PAL/NTSC) without changing length, artefact-free
Last post by Metal-HTPC -
For movies it's the opposite. Speech gets more noticed than music. I'm not talking about the majority of course. More about the collectors and fan bases who buy high quality products on physical media. Legendary voice dubbers have a big fan base here. The so called majority doesn't buy physical media they just stream their movies and of course you can feed them with the shittiest audio and video quality anyways, they don't care.  Check out Universals Saturday Night LIVE archive on peacock. The videos are all deinterlaced, upscaled and encoded poorly and the aac 96 kb/s audio tracks have so many compression artefacts to them that it's unlistenable to my ears. This is sketch comedy mostly speach with 2.0 Stereo and later 2.0 Surround tracks. You don't do those in pisspoor 96 kb/s with the crapiest encoder? The old DVD's were a night and day difference and that was 192 AC3. Still this is all ok for the majority. 
But anyway this doesn't have anything to do with the main toppic. Just wanted to point out that the whole pitch shifting is not something for the average streaming watcher it's for the high quality product buyer who probably already bought the same movie at least 3-5 times before.

General - (fb2k) / SQLite Utilities DELETE help
Last post by Quetzalcoatlus -
So I am using the console in SQLite Utilities to try and remove a selection from a playlist. I think I have the query figured out, but when I change it from SELECT to DELETE I get an error "Attempt to write a read only database" I changed my foobar2000 root and the music file that is getting targeted to write compatible. I think I did it correct, but this is my first time working with SQLite.

Here is my query if that helps
Code: [Select]
WITH DuplicateTitles AS (
    SELECT title, bitrate,
           ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY title ORDER BY bitrate DESC) AS row_num
    FROM playlist
    WHERE playlist_name = 'TestPl'
),
MaxBitrateTracks AS (
    SELECT title, bitrate
    FROM DuplicateTitles
    WHERE row_num = 1  -- These are the tracks with the max bitrate for each title
)
DELETE FROM playlist
WHERE playlist_name = 'TestPl'
  AND title IN (SELECT title FROM MaxBitrateTracks)
  AND bitrate != (SELECT MAX(bitrate) FROM MaxBitrateTracks WHERE title = playlist.title)
  AND title IN (
    SELECT title
    FROM playlist
    WHERE playlist_name = 'TestPl'
    GROUP BY title
    HAVING COUNT(*) > 1  -- Only select duplicate titles
  );

I had ai help me write it. It seems to only be selecting the correct stuff - Duplicate titles with the lower bitrates out of the dupes. The main problem was if the highest bitrate was tied among the dupes. But I think it's working now, at the very least it's good enough.

I want to delete them from the selected playlist, hopefully this is the correct method. I DO NOT want to delete them from my library. PLEASE let me know if that is what I am trying to do.

I have absolutely no idea what I am doing and it took me about 25 minutes to find the console and help documentation for SQLite Utilities. Please let me know if I am doing something dumb thanks for any help.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_vis_milk2
Last post by oops -
Issue 1:
This component suffers from the same issue (even worse) as the non-wrapped version of foo_vis_vumeter.
It doesn't listen/comply to the coordinates it has been told.
In the case of foo_vis_vumeter that only happens after returning from fullscreen.

1) Milkdrop opens up (before fullscreen) not using the correct height (xyw are correct).
2) After fullscreen x=0, y=0, h=full height ... all of those are wrong, w is correct but shifted because of wrong x. Only after resize/track change the situation under 1 (with wrong height) is restored.

Shpeck and Oscilloscope use the same unwrapped construction both use correct coordinates after returning from fullscreen.
Please fix the issue.
There is no code for Shpeck. And Oscilloscope (at least Holger's) does not appear to support Columns UI. So, let's not use those as examples.
I believe I've fixed #2 in foo_vis_vumeter. #1 I haven't seen yet and don't even know how it would happen. The window creation is trivial, there is no style or owner/parent change. Are you sure it is an incorrect height or you're just running it at the minimum limit in that squished aspect ratio that is giving you the funky results? The "Scanning presets..." message looks correctly positioned and not distorted.

Issue 2:
I want to be able to define milkdrop in more than one place (actually I want 3 spots). And preferable be able to run those instances at the same time.

Is this on your todo list?
Unfortunately, this is very unlikely to happen. I started the attempt but decided not to proceed. A cursory glance of the original vis_milk2 library code will give a hint of how fundamental of a change is required to support multiple instances. Look at how g_plugin is used. This is just one of those Winamp legacy things. As to why it "works" in Schpeck, wild guess is that it launches one new full instance/process of Winamp.exe for each UI element.

Also, if you want 3, you must have a really good machine and GPU because the library is not very optimized and eats more RAM and GPU cycles than I care to admit.

I consider this component feature-complete. There are 3 nagging issues that I would try to address time-permitting:
  • Some memory that is not fully released on exit.
  • The square that renders sometimes instead of the text.
  • The right and bottom strobing effect on some presets.

I am going to do more testing this w/e see if I can get it working
Been trying to break it. Still resolves correctly for me to "<profile>\milkdrop2\presets". Try the following: Go into Advanced Preferences, under Display > Visualisations > MilkDrop, right click the Preset directory option and reset it. It'll go <empty>. Hit "Apply" and restart the player. It should repopulate correctly to the above path.
