3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Playlist-Tools-SMP

Well, actually you're a bit wrong here, haha :) I did read the change log at the time but I simply forgot to do those changes later when I updated, I assumed I already made those changes....I guess lately I was frustrated by so many annoyances...Foobar v2, foo_plorg, and the list is very very long...Or as you saw recently foo_skipcount....where you helped the developer with those bugs, some of them I've also noticed...When you have many components it's hard to keep track with so many changes , especially now with Foobar v2...

I solved the problem by resetting the toolbar, then I reimported the user presets for the Playlist Tools, the other buttons didn't have many settings, so nothing is lost.
Understandable hahaha nothing to add. Glad you got it working.

Thanks to your tip I managed to solve this, I didn't use the package.
I remembered that I created a smart playlist , probably 2-3 months ago....I removed that smart playlist and everything seems ok now, that error doesn't appear. I'll send you a PM with the details of that smart playlist, just in case it's useful.
But there is one more issue....something that I forgot to mention last time. I also have this error:

Error: Spider Monkey Panel v1.6.1-mod (Playlist Manager: Playlist Manager v0.16.0 by regorxxx)
unknown format:

It happens when I try to right click Action button, and also when I try to left click settings button.
Thx for your patience.

Your playlist was referencing itself, which is obviously wrong. You made Playlist X with a query using Playlist X as source xd Obviously that should crash. I didn't test that specific case, but I think my latest changes should also warn about it.

About your other error, that seems some error from past versions with some color missing not added at a later update. Will look for it tomorrow

Uploads - (fb2k) / Re: foo_converter.dll.cfg
Last post by eahm -
Added MP3 (Helix) with the settings "-HF2 -V110 (~195kbps)" according to this guide: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Helix_MP3_Encoder#Reasonable_Settings, I don't know much about this encoder but since it's being resurrected I wanted to add at least one parameter.

@Peter, I noticed the new foobar2000 2.x manages foo_converter.dll.cfg in a completely different way and it saves it inside the database once loaded and I have to use an older version to modify/edit it, is there a way to still save the .cfg with the new foobar2000 or force it to keep the file inside the 'configuration" dir? Thank you.

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: NellyMoser Asao patent
Last post by jarsonic -
I am not a lawyer, so this is not legal advice, however:

Looking at NellyMoser's patent portfolio and all the patents by the inventors of their associated patent filings, all of the patents appear to be expired due to a failure to pay maintenance fees to the USPTO as of about 2009.  Even if that hadn't been the case, it seems like they would have expired around December 2023.

Lossless / Other Codecs / Re: Tested: Lossless decoding speed, multithreaded - and fast verification
Last post by Porcus -
BLUNDER on me and on ffmpeg.

ffmpeg errs out on the ¨3x.flac-0b65535--no-md5--uncompressed.flac also when decoding. Of course I should have checked that when it refuses to demux.

It is not about it using the only-verbatim-subframes flac - likely it is about frames being too big.
The attached 1.3 second flac file - good old Merzbow at it again - has 57330 samples and is created with
-0r0 --no-padding -fb57330 --lax
So one frame, both subframes are FIXED, order 1.
ffmpeg cannot decode it. Recompress it with smaller block size, and it will - 57300 is still too large though.

Edit: reuploaded without artwork, that is not the blame - and seems the "r0" is superfluous.
Fiddling around with files I found out that padding-or-not could even influence the max block size. I got a file where 53207 with default padding is OK, 53208 with default padding is not, 53208 with --no-padding is OK.


@ktf, of course there is nothing wrong with the file? The blame is squarely on ffmpeg?

It makes decoding much more complicated, less predictable and less stable.
You might have had a point ...

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: OpenMPT Module Decoder
Last post by LigH -
Today I noticed a post in the Discord server of the "Nectarine Demoscene Radio", they mentioned a YouTube video: Amazing AMIGA Multichannel Music - MoSeZ - NNZ Collection #1 - there is an archive of SymMOD modules as well as MP3 versions of the same tracks linked in its description.

Playing the first file (Gloomyness.SymMOD) I noticed that foobar2000 with OpenMPT module decoder 0.7.1 / 0.7.3 plays this song in mono. But the MP3 has a stereo panorama.

I don't know anything about this module format; might it be that its support is incomplete, and the decoder is unable to retrieve the position of instruments in an audio panorama? When I watch the YouTube video of an Amiga tracker it has an analyzer in the center of the screen, displaying dots on concentric rings, which looks like they should present a relation to instrument positions, I guess?

Support - (fb2k) / Re: Playlists Get Zero'd Out After a Library Search
Last post by Revup67 -

The Library Viewer option has been there at the bottom of the Media Library page practically forever. It's the 'Enabled' button under the big 'Library viewer selection playlist' headline: https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=File:Foobar2000-Preferences-medialibrary.png.

Does the library search not work like it should for you? It's supposed to show the results of your query in realtime as you type. If the preview dialog is empty it means there are no entries matching your query. Of course it also says how many tracks the query returns in the title bar.
I can't replicate Ctrl+Z not working. I can do multiple searches and hit enter to replace my playlist with the results. Just hit Ctrl+Z as many times as playlist results got replaced and you are back with the contents you started with.
Thanks for the rephrasing the suggestion, 'Enabled' was in fact checked.  I shall be more specific on how the Zero'ing out the Playlist occurs. I've now two different results when pressing Enter after the Search criteria string is typed.  To test on your end,
Scenario 1: create a Playlist with 5 different tracks from different Artists. Note any 'unique' keyword in any of the 5 tracks.  With that Playlist engaged (focused aka double clicked), type in your selection of a word string within those 5 tracks for Library Search and press 'enter'. The playlist now Populates with any matching criteria from the 'entire' library and wipes out the playlist as it was just prior.
Scenario 2: repeat the above with one exception, choose a word that is not within the entire Library such as 'non-sense' press Enter, the entire playlist is wiped out to Zero.
I can confirm CTRL+Z works after pressing "Enter" however the end user must refocus their mouse by clicking anywhere on screen where the Playlist results appear (even if none are shown) and Then perform a CTRL+Z. This exact sequence of events returned the Playlist to the previous list as expected. Perhaps it would be helpful to have a Right Click option on  the Playlist to perform an Undo.
Lastly, the comment you'd mentioned about the results after conducting a Search do appear in real time but for many of us, we still hit the Enter key. Hope that helps - thanks

I'm in compliance with your statement, pressing Enter has catastrophic results where All files in a Playlist area zero'd out and there is no form of recovery.  The "enter" key should yield "no Input" when pressed after a Search string is entered. That would solve this issue.
Anyone with doubts should try sequence (Windows not sure on a MAC):
Search the Library while any playlist is highlighted, perform a search of any key word, press enter. The Playlist now shows 0 results.  This will aid in observing the the current natural occurrence.
My sympathy goes out to anyone that has many many hours procuring their Playlist(s) to lose all of their entries when this sequence of of events occurs.
