3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: [fb2k v2] SQL Tree (foo_uie_sql_tree)
Last post by dpc666 -
What I would like to happen is that only the most recent played date of the entire artist's discography gets displayed.
Ok, that's exactly what the query I posted is doing. So my only guess is that you made a mistake while transferring my posted query to your tree. Could you please also post the query which you are using?

I simply copy-pasted it.

Code: [Select]
WITH Albums AS (
  SELECT a.*,
         avg(CAST(playcount AS INTEGER)) OVER wAlbum playcount,
         max(lastplayed) OVER wArtist lastplayed
  FROM (
    SELECT path,
           subsong,
           playcount,
           lastplayed,
           ifnull("album artist",artist) album_artist,
           album,
           (CASE WHEN discnumber THEN 'Disc '||discnumber ELSE NULL END) disc_number
    FROM MediaLibrary
  ) a
  WINDOW wAlbum AS (PARTITION BY album_artist,album),
         wArtist AS (PARTITION BY album_artist)
)
SELECT '['||lastplayed||'] '||album_artist,
       '['||CAST(playcount AS TEXT)||'] '||album,
       disc_number
FROM Albums
ORDER BY lastplayed,album_artist,album,disc_number

playcount and lastplayed use TFExpressions (Text) %play_count% and %last_played%, respectively, if that is relevant.

It doesn't seem like that should make a difference to anything, but I'm running Foobar2000 through Wine on Linux.

marc2k3 was just suggesting you do a Library > Search to see if any library tracks are missing an %added% date. (Which is a long shot)

Can you actually play one of the tracks missing a date?

I suspect as marc2k3 said, you have tracks in the playlist that are not part of the library folder. Maybe they're on a different drive, or in a different music folder?

(It might be helpful to post a screenshot of the playlist columns)

The %filename% is the part that returns ";stream" - you can see it there at the end of the URL - ";stream.mp3". So remove the two %filename%.

Also not sure why you need two $if functions for http:// and https:// when they both do the same - just the first one is enough.

Listening Tests / Re: Great killer sample, easy to ABX on most codecs
Last post by shadowking -
The level is so low that the dither is heard,  How can that be  ?
Or, Is the vocal NOT meant to be heard (hidden) without  - amplified to a  level x100 ?

mp3 lame shows RG   +16.5 db    . Also lowpass needs to be high around 20khz .  If lowpass 17 or lower, horrid ringing is heard and RG is +21 db  !

So, What is this stuff ? This is certainly not professional cd audio.

MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder

How do you like the sound of the 3995o encoded sample I attached above?

Your LAME 3.995 encode did overall a better job, certainly better than LAME 3.100 for this sample. However, as one can see in the spectrogram, it somewhat avoided most of the sbf21 trouble by effectively lowpassing the high frequency band and thus getting rid of the excessive energy there, which might be the best tradeoff in this case.

For comparison, I enclosed another LAME encoding (3.100 -q0 -V0).

I replaced LAME 3.100 (there is even some 3.101 beta 3 out there) with tweaked 3995o, because the new psychoacoustic model (vbr-new vs vbr-old) left much to be desired. Perhaps an earlier version would have been even better, but I had to stop the exploration somewhere and settle down to stay sane. How do you like the sound of the 3995o encoded sample I attached above?


Is there a reason why this encoder doesn't put a lowpass filter after -V80?

If we run hmp3 with -EC flag, we will see more information about the encoding process:
V0-52 uses freq_limit 11713-15847, V53-150 uses freq_limit 16536, -HF2 raises freq_limit to 24000.
We can use -F flag to modify that threshold, e.g. -HF2 -F18000 makes freq_limit 18000.

Support - (fb2k) / Drag and drop between playlist tabs to create new playlist isn't working anymore
Last post by 0RF30 -
Hi.

I don't really know when it happened (I'm running 32 bit foobar2000_v2.2_preview_2024-03-14 at the moment, in Win 11), but I noticed that dragging and dropping a track or a group of tracks between playlist tabs in order to create a new playlist with dropped files isn't working anymore. The space indicator between tabs (or at the beggining or the end of them) isn't showing anymore, all you can do is drop tracks in existing tabs. I found it quite usefull to add tracks not present in library from windows file explorer or from a search tool like Everything.
Drag and drop existing tabs to reorder them is still possible though, indicators are still present to mark dropping place, it's just not possible with tracks, either from library or from file explorer. I really hope to see this long time used feature back.
Best regards.

General - (fb2k) / How to filter out the same file names
Last post by whereribbonsfly -
Hello, I have so many audio files (about 9k) in one of my folders and I'd like to filter them out.  Luckilly, I have a notepad file to verify if something is missing or not. But the thing is I'm not sure if I can do it within foobar itself since search function only allows me to copy one line. Said source file is in text file with the track names written in it. Is it possible for me to just confirm if I have those tracks in my foobar playlist or not? I have no clue if I can do this within foobar itself like I've said earlier. Two screenshots will be shown below.
