theophile has stopped developing wsh panel mod for years but his work still alive ...


theophile??? is that T.P Wang

surprising....


not really. it's only 2 years since he stopped but plenty of people are using columns UI which is over 5 years old. some of ssenna's components haven't been updated since 2009/2010 either. yet they all still work fine.

oh yes, and sorry i failed to mention it. it's said that he hasn't been developing windows app for a long time. maybe we should thank jensen & dreamxis that they decided to create a beautiful foobar profile with ssenna's elplaylist and pss and theo made their work(named Eiko) more complicated. it was in 2006, nearly 10 years from now...

i really admire ssenna's works... and am worried if one day his/her components won't be compatible with foobar2000, that ll be  great loss. nobody at the forum can get contact with him/her?

I was tried to contact ssena earlier, when foo_ui_biography.dll stopped to receive full biography from last.fm , but i never get an answer..
Don't know if he loose interest for this components?
But this will happen sooner or later, that some components die, if we don't have support team..
This plugins are essential for foobar i think, and more than one developer should work on this...

I've made plenty of noise on IRC about some of these components lack of maintenance and how they should have 'official' versions in future versions of foobar2000. Not just WSH but also things like Facets, TagBox, and others. Some should be genuine candidates for inclusion as stock items.

EDIT: Mainly so they do not die from lack of developer interest over time.

anybody could develop/update WSH panel mod if they wanted to. it has a public domain license and the source code is available. unfortunately it seems the only people interested in the component don't have the c++ skills necessary to do that.

My folder marc2003 look like this, it's not a problem ? I have older scripts because i don't want update for example "now playing", but i don't now if it's a problem or not


no, it shouldn't be a problem. that's why i rename files when there are major changes so all scripts should work side by side. i'd try and get rid what is using common6 though - that is seriously old. but i suppose if it's not using anything online then it'll be fine.

you can save a whopping 8kb by deleting that file named art. that has been obsolete for quite some time now.


I use common6 for "Now Playing" (artists images) because i don't want to change the layout of the frame and I do not know how to upload keeping available layout

I've noticed that when using VU Meter component jscript by Br3tt that I have a large amount of memory "leakage" ... When I start foobar it will use about 25 mb of memory ... but then its memory usage will grow over time to 30 mb .. 40 mb .. 70 mb ..100 mb.

I wasn't sure at first the cause of the problem and started eliminating panels in order to identify the source of the problem.  Eventually, I stripped all of my foobar panels down to only two:
  - Br3tt's wsh_playlist_2013_v0_0_8
  - Br3tt's VU Meter component 1.01

With the playlist panel only installed, I do not see the large growth in memory usage over time.  But immediately after installing the VU meter component (without any mods), I get the memory usage growth.  So it seems that the VU meter code is causing the memory usage growth.

I do not see any obvious changes to improve the code (but my skills are very limited) ... Is there a change in the code that can reclaim the "lost" memory?

I have the "sox" folder in marc2003, it is better that I moves in foobar2000 (appdata)? Or I change the script and adds

var sox_exe = fb.ProfilePath + "marc2003\\sox\\sox.exe";

&

var ffmpeg_exe = fb.ProfilePath + "marc2003\\sox\\ffmpeg.exe";

Or I have to do differently?

Because I do not know if other scripts use that path or not ...

you can edit those values and put sox/ffmpeg wherever you like.

Okay only those 2 lines need edit ? And I edited as it should ?

var sox_exe = fb.ProfilePath + "marc2003\\sox\\sox.exe";
var ffmpeg_exe = fb.ProfilePath + "marc2003\\sox\\ffmpeg.exe";

yes it's only those 2 lines. if it was any more, i would have told you. i don't expect you to be psychic.  the simplest check is to play a supported file. if the panel is blank then something is wrong. if you see a spectrogram image then it's working.

bios are online so i suspect that is the problem. i'm not supporting scripts that old now. my latest now playing script works if you want to try that. if not, then remove it/use something else.

allmusic review
last.fm similar artists
last.fm & wikipedia biography

i just want to see if any internet scripts are working on your machine. also, have a look in the foobar console for errors (view menu>Console).

can you open your wsh_data folder in explorer and use the search box in the top right to look for

bio*.txt

are there any results and do they contain any text if you open them in notepad? also, what language are you using? i notice from your console you might be french based on your music folder name??? have you set the panel to use the french last.fm site? it should still work but you may get no results for less popular artists. obviously you can check this by looking at the artist page on the website.

That is, when in fact I do not have the choice of language in the script, some .txt are empty, but if I take the example of Lady Gaga that contains text in French, I still have nothing

you do. from the filename i can see in your screenshot, you've selected the french site (www.lastfm.fr) from the available options.

anyway, it seems the download part is working so i can't really explain why it's not being displayed. perhaps the script doesn't like your default font? i can't think of anything else.

having looked at that image again, perhaps the text area is too narrow? my script requires the text area be at least 100 pixels wide.

//setup text area for last.fm bio
var t = new text(20, 150, 100, 100);

Don't work ^^

the values set at the start don't stick - they are updated dynamically inside the on_size function for when the panel is resized. i think the default is something like the panel width divided by 3. if the panel is too narrow then you'll have the problem.

I tried on another screen, it works well :



I can not seem to "expand" the black frame height

And then I'd like to change the frame size, but I do not have the arrow that allows me to change the window size

Is it that I could have the text in French on the old "script"?
