Enhance update checking

* Instead of opening the Information dialog to report "No new version available at this time," display "No update found." in the lower right of the main window for several seconds.

* When an update is found (matching the architecture and the "Check for beta versions" setting), populate the Information dialog with (1) a link to new version and (2) a link to the change log.

* Add a setting, in days, for automatic update checks.

I need a community of friends who will be able to modify or recreate the popular EasyChords winamp plugin which is currently in development known as Chords!. because with this plugin we can know what chords are used when playing a song.

If possible, I'd like to see a [filter search] in active playlist view, rather than creating another playlist via [Playlist search] or [Library search].

I use  foobar for many years and found it the best and easiest to use for so many things! Arranging playlists, renaming tracks and filenames, adding cover art, editing metadata is great too, searching for artist track titles via web and discogs, etc. Thanks for such a great and feature packed music player.

However, you knew that was coming eh? I control basic foobar functions via Rainmeter. But with the update of foobar to x64 I have lost that control. Like many other users probably having trouble finding or adapting new x64 plugins.

As there was a new plugin developed for Rainmeter called MediaPlayer, I have tried to get that to do what the older CAD plugin does. It's not going too well so far, though the dev of that plugin is great and is fixing issues very quickly.

The only issue that has arisen, is the lack of support for certain track info's. Things like track position, duration, album name and year are my most wanted.

Could we have support for all playing info (or at least, all info that can be) is communicated to the System Media Transport Controls aka the SMTC API, for easy usage by 3rd party applications displaying such things or even Windows itself. Complete SMTC support would be great, but failing that, even just the basics as I mentioned, I would be happy with.

Tbh, the foo_cad_plus plugin was the best for my needs, and I would love to see that updated to 64bit. Maybe one day it will...?

Thanks.

Toggle DSPs

In DSP Manager, It would be helpful to:
1. Toggle instead of having to remove and re-add each DSP.
2. Toggle each DSP when adjusting its settings, perhaps by adding a toggle in the lower left corner on the buttons row.

Really love Foobar - best control I've ever had of my music collection.

One request: I can't install the "Free Encoder Packs" on my company-managed Windows machines, as no recognized author of the .exe was found. Can the encoder pack not just be part of an upcoming release, instead of requiring a separate download? As it is, I can't rip to Apple Lossless, as I can't get the free encoder pack installed :(

Thanks for a great initiative - love Foobar2000!!

If you want to encode to ALAC, just download the qaac package here: https://github.com/nu774/qaac/releases/download/v2.80/qaac_2.80.zip

Unzip and use either qaac.exe (has an iTunes files requirement--search forum) or just refalac.exe to encode to ALAC after placing them in Foobar2000/encoders.

@mpsoerensen : You might think twice about ripping fb2k -> ALAC

* fb2k has a decent ripper, but you might want to try e.g. CUERipper (at least it is possible to run portable, without installer). Comparison charts: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Comparison_of_CD_rippers#Comparison_charts .
If you indeed want to use fb2k, then at least get the Musicbrainz component.

* ALAC would not be your first choice - but it is Apple's, so you might resort to it if you are to play it on Appleware and cannot get support for anything better. 
Even if you don't care much about compression performance (differences are small nowadays when TB drives are cheap), ALAC offers the worst error management among codecs in widespread use (depending on whether you think "widespread use" includes TTA, or if that is to be relegated to the valley of the shadows of WMAL): https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,122094
If you want to use ALAC still, then CUETools/CUERipper can do that too. And has its own ALAC encoder which compresses better than the reference, but the reference is of course a safe bet - and if you care that much about performance, then you might consider a different format.

An option to set frequency range for built-in spectrum and spectrogram visualizations to 20Hz-20kHz range something like this for the first:
X

It would be nice but obviously, other features to add on spectrum visualization should be taken elsewhere as a third-party component like Enhanced Spectrum Analyzer

Would it be possible to have an option that lets us right-click a track and select "Stop after Track". I know a similar feature already exists in the Playback menu, but that is for only the currently playing track.

Thanks Air Ken but that doesn't seem to  be quite what im after since it stops at the end of your queued playlist. I want it to stop after a specific track within the queued playlist.

@extract Also Playlist Attributes > right-click track > 'Stop after focused track'.

Thanks anamorphic, this seems to be exactly what im after!.

^ No, it resets after stopping.

Also useful that you can add an indicator (stop symbol for example) in a playlist column to mark the track after which playback stops -

Code: [Select]
$ifequal(%list_index%,%pla_stop_focused_track_active%,◼ ,)

Thanks for posting this info, i ended up creating 3 stop signs to make it stand out even more.

Hi. Where can I find info about the field %pla_stop_focused_track_active%? In the title formatting reference I didn't find anything.
How many other useful information are missing from the title formatting reference?

^ That field is added by Playlist Attributes. Unfortunately the documentation is no longer online, but the component download includes a help folder with the HTML help file. (The component download is just a renamed ZIP so you can open it in an archive reader like 7-zip, or once installed find it in the foobar profile \ 'user-components' folder)

Are you talking about an external component? So nothing of interest to anyone using FB2k on Mac, right?

Hi :)

I am using it immediately.

$ifequal(%list_index%,%pla_stop_focused_track_active%,◼ ,$if(%isplaying%,＞＞,%list_index%))

Many thanks.
