3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Georgia-ReBORN - A Clean foobar2000 Theme
Last post by sveakul -
@TT: I hope this is the correct place to ask this, but I made a fresh install of ESLyric .5.4.1011 where the developer supposedly had included your new and refactored searcher sources and find all kinds of file size mis-matches with the ones you included in your own eslyric_source_pack.zip download from Github.  I am at a loss now to determine which ones are best to use--yours from your original zip, or these downloaded from ESLyric's settings page.  Furthermore, it appears your refactored parser files were not included  :-\  .

Any guidance you can provide as to how to proceed for the best results would be appreciated.

Sounds like your issue is finally solved.

You may want to go back to the Preferences -> Media Library page and right click on the paths you have configured there. Make sure you have "Recan on startup" and "Monitor for changes while running" activated to prevent these kind of leftover files from harming you in the future.

I don't fully understand "Edit: Afterwards, reselect items again from the Library / Artist tab (on the left) to update the playlist."

Do you refer to: in Library/Albums select Artist and then Lazar Berman? Doing this the conflictive album does not appear.
Yes, he wanted to make sure you update your playlist with contents from the Media Library. Manually created playlists can still contain files that do not exist anymore. Repopulating the playlist solves that potential oversight. foobar2000 also supports autoplaylists that always mirror the contents of the media library.

The Berman issue seems to be solved at least!!!

But this was not the only one. Another issue is the ON AIR legend that accompany some tracks, which are not playable. And another: an (or more?) album in the Library contains 66 tracks from several different albums. I have to examine all the related folders.

I always had Rescan on startup and Monitor for changes activated.

Thank you, Case, for your help.

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: Descript Audio Codec (.dac) - 90x smaller than .wav?
Last post by przemyslawo -
I successfully installed this encoder in a Python virtual environment (venv), it consumed 9.8GB of disk space.

I have success in converting a .wav file to this format, but I couldn't decode due to an error in the codec (or maybe my GPU is unsupported).

Here I use an AMD Ryzen 5  1400 and a Nvidia GT  1030 graphic board, it took 55 seconds to encode an audio with 6:12 of duration.

Maybe in the future this codec becomes more performant.

foobar2000 mobile / [Android] How can I access the playlist files?
Last post by loop95 -
How can I access the playlist files on the android version of foobar? I currently see no option to export them or to even search in file explorer (some users said they might be visible to root users, but I'm rooted and can't see the files). I want to transfer the playlists to my PC but this seems impossible at the moment, which is weird because i would assume playlist management is an essential feature of a music player.

In Preferences > Media Library, under 'Music Folders' heading, you have these folders, right? -

..\LR_Classical
..\LR_Classical\Beethoven (etc)
..\LR_Classical\Schubert (etc)

Right-click the last two and select Remove. They are not needed because you are already monitoring the folder above.

Now under 'File Types' heading, make sure the 'Exclude:' box has -

Code: [Select]
*.CUE;*.ZIP

Click the Apply button.

Now right-click on the "LR-Classical" folder, and select Rescan Now. Click OK and it should update the library. (It might take a few minutes)

Edit: Afterwards, reselect items again from the Library / Artist tab (on the left) to update the playlist.

Re: "ON AIR" - You cannot do anything about modifying the skin (Eole). It works the way it works. So forget about that. Doing the above steps should hopefully remove these problem files.

Honestly if I had $1 for every time someone needed help with the Eole skin, I'd be millionaire by now. :D

Hi. Thank you.
I followed your instructions up to "it make take a few minutes". To my surprise the rescan took only a few seconds. The result: the Lazar Berman album disappeared from the Library.

I don't fully understand "Edit: Afterwards, reselect items again from the Library / Artist tab (on the left) to update the playlist."

Have I to add it manually in Preferences/Music folders/Add? I already deleted the zip file from the folder (in HDD) including the flac files.
