MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder
Last post by KevinB52379 -
@Case  - Thanks for this compile, but unfortunately, same results.  System hang.  The file progress bar increases, but the files being encoded with foobar2000 never changes, and I never see the elapsed time, estimated time, encoding speed, and the 'pause" and "abort" buttons never appear.  The only thing that changes is the progress bar.  It didn't take over an hour to encode like all the other slow compiles...but it was no where near as fast as @JoshuaChang version.  His version encodes over 5,000 flac files in under 9 minutes with no system hangs or slowdowns.

Ok. The file you shared didn't cause any crashing here and sqlite's integrity check also said it's ok. But after your updated post I truncated my metadb.sqlite file to 0 bytes. It caused zero issues for foobar2000 startup.
Can you try excluding foobar2000 from BitDefender?

Gnu took over freedb's database, and have run it for a couple of years, hats off to them.

Tangential to the intent of this thread but, as far as I know, gnudb is not related to the GNU project in any way.

Seems like it:

Care to share the "N:\Software\Foobar\Foobar2000 - Downloads\profile\metadb.sqlite" file? Attempt to open it seem to cause all the problems again. I see BitDefender interfering in the call stack for some reason. I wonder if it is the cause of these problems.

Looks like it can't open sqlite databases. The sqlite error 14 means SQLITE_CANTOPEN and the win32 error 2 means ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND. And you get the exact same problem with a clean portable install?
Sorry for the late reply, i humoured you the other day and started from scratch again, all was working well for 5 days. today i installed  foo_playcount (Playback Statistics - by Peter) and instantly crashes came back. recovered from a backup, no issues at all so i think its the plugin causing it. i have fresh crash dumps if you are interested.

Yes we can remove disc collisions for freedb going forward.

CD Ripper is able to fill the blanks in the database, freedb is basically filled by only 2 programs, EAC and dBpoweramp, when looking at the old stats for freedb. I try to get EAC onboard, but Andre has not posted anything in years, I try to bring him out of retirement.

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Playlist-Manager-SMP
Last post by regor -
Ok, so this version should:
- Warn if you try to create a smart playlist with circular references.
- Warn if tries to load somehow such playlist, either internally or in UI (have not tested all cases though).
- New entry at playlist maintenance to check for circular references.

It's a package for testing. It's missing the readme pdf.
