3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_truepeak True Peak Scanner
Last post by Case -
The LUFS test version at https://foobar.hyv.fi/foo_truepeak_0.6.8.fb2k-component was just refreshed. Version number intentionally kept the same as I'm still tweaking things for public release.

There's now an option to also include LUFS-I tags when ReplayGain scanning. Album variants of LUFS-M and LUFS-S tags are now also supported.

I too noticed that momentary and short-term loudness evaluation is very slow. First test version called the calculations after each processed audio chunk. Refreshed build runs the calculations approximately every 100 ms. Sadly the results change a bit depending on when the calculations are done. I will need to tweak this behavior still a bit, I don't like that the numbers change for bit-identical data depending on how many samples a decoder produces per decode pass.

There was also a stupid mistake with SoX upsampling setup that was found thanks to @ngs428's sharp eyes. SoX upsampling mistakenly didn't use the power-of-two resampling ratio that it was meant to. Processing speed is now a bit faster as this issue was fixed.

You can merge in ffmpeg on-the-fly and pipe merged output to qaac.

Code: [Select]
ffmpeg -hide_banner -i '.\ENG_L.wav' -i '.\ENG_R.wav' -i '.\ENG_C.wav' -i '.\ENG_LFE.wav' -i '.\ENG_BL.wav' -i '.\ENG_BR.wav' -i '.\ENG_SL.wav' -i '.\ENG_SR.wav' -filter_complex "[0:a][1:a][2:a][3:a][4:a][5:a][6:a][7:a]join=inputs=8:channel_layout=7.1:map=0.0-FL|1.0-FR|2.0-FC|3.0-LFE|4.0-BL|5.0-BR|6.0-SL|7.0-SR[a]" -map "[a]" -f wav -bitexact - | .\qaac64.exe --chanmask=0x63f -o output.m4a -

What's wrong with this? :)

It is displayed in the Playlist Manager at the top bar of the Playlist, see screenshot.
Just mouse hover over the top bar of the playlist and it will show.

On foobar startup when nothing is playing, it will automatically show the total length of all tracks,
if you select multiple tracks it will calculate these lengths, and if you select all tracks CTRL + A
it will display again the total length.

General - (fb2k) / Re: SeekBar in Boom Player
Last post by zK -
I fully support the thoughts expressed here in this thread. I was on the verge of creating one exactly in the same regard, but judging by the absolute identity of purposes, I thought it would be more useful to use this space.

The Boom player is the lightest player on Planet Earth. I was very well served by the MPC-BE player for quick playback of audio files, especially when I'm in front of a new album and want to have a quick overview of its contents.

Boom player is surprisingly even more responsive than MPC-BE, but the absence of the SeekBar feature literally KILLS the program's usefulness. Using the "<< >>" buttons as an alternative is not a valid option and is therefore terribly counterproductive.

I've been a devoted fan of foobar2000 for many, many years. As I had a recently closed CD store, I use it for the purpose of organizing a large (huge) library of audio and video files (I use the "mpv" component) that I ripped on the computer. There is no other player/organizer of audio and video files in the world that offered me as much speed in tasks as foobar2000 (I took care to test everything that exists), all thanks to the excellent workflow offered by extraordinary customization that can be done in the software. For anyone who knows what they're doing, foobar2000 is clearly and comfortably way above the top.

As a result, having integrated a theme into foobar2000 that I developed and constantly enriched over the years, I have preferred to use an accessory player for quick auditions. "Boom" would be - by far - this player. It offers a taste of foobar2000 without having to resort to theme switching.

So, first of all, I would like to express my immense gratitude to those responsible for foobar2000. A large file organization that could last around a year was possible to complete in a few weeks, thanks to the software's aforementioned customization capacity.

And finally, I fully endorse the thoughts expressed above so that, with due respect, the addition of the so-called "SeekBar" feature to Boom is effectively considered.

Thank you for reading this petition.
