foobar 1.4.3 doesn't quit properly anymore despite update

Hi,

My foobar 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 used to work perfectly fine.
Then at some point it stopped working fine (maybe after a Windows crash, I'm not sure).
So now it still works perfectly, but it doesn't quit properly :
After quitting, I see a "dead process" in W7 SP1 x64's task manager : "foobar2000.exe *32", weighting around 50.000 KB.
I have to manually kill that process first in order to be able to restart foobar.

I thought an update to 1.4.3 would solve it, but no, the issue is still here.
What can I do please ? Thank you.

OK, I hope I'm doing this right. I found foobar with Process Explorer. It wasn't taking any CPU though. It's more like a "dead process" if you know what I mean. There was only one thread. Here's its stack info :

You may have noticed foo_spider_monkey_panel.dll in the stack. I'd suspect it to be the cause.

You are right. It is indeed Spider Monkey Panel that messes with the app closing.

I have tried several things, with partial success :
- Uninstalling the component + quitting foobar => doesn't quit properly
- Uninstalling the component + trashing its folder + quitting foobar => FINALLY foobar quits properly
- Reinstalling the component + quitting foobar => doesn't quit properly

I think there must be something corrupted in the component prefs. I thought those prefs were part of the trashed folder, but I guess they must be elsewhere. Any hints ?

Did you check if it left a *.cfg file in Foobar2000/configuration?  Some plugins put stuff in there in addition to their folder in user-components.

Indeed it did ! For a moment I thought I had found the solution (thanks btw).
So I trashed the file, restarted foobar, reinstalled the component, quit foobar and... it doesn't quit properly :(

Make sure you use the latest version of the component. If the misbehavior happens with that you should notify @TheQwertiest. He might want a memory dump of the frozen process, you can create one following these instructions.

Yes, I have indeed the latest version of foo_spider_monkey_panel (checked for updates, there were none)
Also the latest stable version of foobar (1.4.3)

Here's the compressed dump file (I still had to split it in two). Let's hope @TheQwertiest can give it a look !

Part 1 is in this message...

Well no : I was using 1.1.5, and foobar was consistently telling me "no updates available at this time", so for me it was indeed the latest...
I have manually updated to 1.2.1, and of course my problem is solved now. So THANKS @A_Man_Eating_Duck for pointing that out. Kudos !

I just wonder why version 1.2.1 (or any other version > 1.1.5, that's a lot of versions I guess) isn't available via the normal updates. That would have saved all of us some time in this topic !!!
I mean, what's the purpose of an automated update system, if we have to go to GitHub fetch all the newest versions ? Not accusing, I suppose there must be a good reason. Just wondering.

If you have any further problems with Foobar2000 make sure you include all the installed plugins and their versions (There is a copy report button on the components page, click that and paste it in thread).

The foobar2000 update only looks that the Foobar website, a lot of plugins are hosted on other websites.
Who are you and how did you get in here ?

Spider Monkey Panel is listed on the repository and the version there is 1.2.1. Perhaps its entry has some problem if the update check didn't find it.

Also was on 1.1.5 and nothing shows up with "Get updates" button @TheQwertiest (but working fine for me)

Thanks for confirming that it's indeed a problem. If the updates had worked as they should for SpiderMonkey, this topic wouldn't have existed. ;)

Foobar2000 won't notify on component updates if said component binary was not uploaded to the fb2k component repository. And Spider Monkey Panel binary is not currently on the repository.
You can use foo_acfu component to augment component update tracking (it also can track CUI, JScript Panel and foo_youtube, which are not tracked by fb2k otherwise).
