General - (fb2k) / Re: Any way to retain the duration played as you switch to another track?

Here's a highly experimental component that may achieve what you wish: https://foobar.hyv.fi/foo_retain_playtime.fb2k-component.

Enable by adding 'Retain Playtime' DSP to the active DSP chain. Abuses decoder shim tech that Peter added for my Skip Track component.
Again, many thanks!! Works great. :)

I've found that the transitioning from one track to another, whether intentional or not, adds about a 2-second forward offset to the next track's retained duration (so it's just a little off), and changing the fading duration in manual track changing doesn't necessarily mitigate it. I tried finding the source code for the component online to try my hand at fixing it (if even possible :'D) but to no avail. I'm not really sure where you got this experimental component from, but (aside from the 2-second offset) it works wonders! 1000% better than not having the functionality in the first place.

My gratuity to you, fellow interweb user! :D

If you want to automatize the process...
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?PHPSESSID=tar500hd8th3qdm3nce2aj9ebs&topic=96094.75

This component can be used to automatically select a DSP based on the output device.

Code: [Select]
$ifequal($strstr(%windows_output_device_name%,Headphones),0,,Headphones;)
Then you add a chain, which is just a DSP preset, and add there the mix to mono. Whenever the device containing headphones in the name is used, it will use such DSP preset.

If you want to go further, you can make foobar to automatically chose an audio device by a priority list:
https://regorxxx.github.io/foobar2000-SMP.github.io/scripts/device-priority-smp/

For ex: use Blueetooth speaker if available, otherwise headphones, otherwise speakers, ...

There are also ways to assign an specific button to a dsp preset, but it involves SMP and I will not explain it. It can be done with this:
https://regorxxx.github.io/foobar2000-SMP.github.io/scripts/playlist-tools-smp/

So there is no need to manually select device/dsp at all.

You can create and and sacve two DSP chain presets (for normal listening and for mono) and then add two buttons to toolbar, corresponding to these DSP chain presets or add DSP switcher to toolbar.

DSP chain preset for normal listening may be saved as empy, or include some DSPs if needed.

Comparable how? I'd say TSAC @<any bitrate> is not comparable to <non-AI codec>@<any bitrate>. They are just too different for one to make such comparisons.

It's possible to compare any audio codec to another one, regardless of technology.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_nowplaying2
Last post by foxX -
@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?
