Try what oops suggests here:  https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,126733.msg1058134.html#msg1058134

Are you running the update from the auto-updater or doing an install from downloaded file?

I am going to attempt to remove  foo_vis_vumeter 0.9.5.0 from my system completely as it was updated over top of a previous release. 9.2 Then I will attempt to install it from scratch. Could some kind person tell me what keys in the registry that I need to find to remove it better still a .reg file to run to remove it. 
Read the other thread a couple of posts ago by oops. And stay in that thread please.

In 2021 we added GNUDB:

#define freedbdefaultServer L"gnudb.gnudb.org"

In April 2024 it was removed for good:

#define freedbdefaultServer L"freedb.dbpoweramp.com"

it is physically impossible for the current version to lookup gnudb.gnudb.org:

   if (Internet.Server.Length() == 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;
   if (Internet.Server.Comparei(L"freedb.org") == 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;      // migrate to replacement
   if (Internet.Server.Comparei(L"freedb.freedb.org") == 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;      // migrate to replacement
   if (Internet.Server.Comparei(L"gnudb.gnudb.org") == 0)
      Internet.Server = freedbdefaultServer;      // migrate to replacement

We have run AccurateRip free for all programs for 15 years, a much better track record than your offering which is changing the terms on a yearly basis.

GNUDB will die off now that no major program is submitting to it.

If our program was looking up on gnudb, we would see posts as we did one year ago about garbage track listings being returned because no email is supplied. We get zero of those now, because your system is no longer used.

freedb has had such a poor history of ripping off those who filled it, prior to freedb it is cddb which became gracenote, now your changes which have taken ownership of public data...

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: foo_youtube
Last post by L1Qu1D666 -
Can't play here either, same error. I came here because I tried all other fixes I could come up with first - addding new cookies, checked different dercoding methods but the error suggests its not even getting to the decoding and testing internal and external yt-dl.exe and since I saw above, I also got yt-dlp.exe and enabled it in maintenance but it is definitely not working, error details are below

Unable to open item for playback (Youtube Source: foo_youtube: server error (403) from rr1---sn-u5a3u5a3-h5oes.googlevideo.com | ffmpeg: Server returned 403 Forbidden (access denied) | foobar2000: Forbidden (403)):
"www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdDVMCbG0FM"

one other thing, it does actually work with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8A9Y1Dq_cQ yet not others, I tried about 15 in total and couldn't find another that works.

thanks for any help

I'm going to try later.

Uninstall Foobar completely then reinstall with just vumeter without any other plugins. see how this goes. or do without vumeter it was nice while it worked but not absolutely necessary.

Sorry to say this, but dbpoweramp still uses gnudb.org as a metadata source. For proof, check the screenshot: CDGrab.exe (dbpoweramp’s program) retrieves metadata, and the destination IP (78.47.118.0) corresponds to gnudb.gnudb.org.

Moreover, many requests come from a program identified as hello=cddb+dbpoweramp.com+dBpowerAMP+1.0. The version is always listed as "1.0," not the actual version, such as "2024.11.4.0," which is the real version of CDGrab.exe. This discrepancy raises questions about transparency.

I think it's time for dbpoweramp to acknowledge that it is a commercial company aiming to gain an advantage over its competitors by encouraging them to stop using gnudb.org and adopt its own "perfect meta" system. This raises concerns about whether their system will remain free in the future. Transparency is essential to ensure users and competitors alike are informed about their practices and intentions.

General - (fb2k) / Re: output/outgoing sample rate
Last post by Calaat -
 Hi i can install the component and see if the info. But i found the data not accurate since everything is on 24kbps with WASAPI and 32kbps with ASIO, but i can not know the codec output, nor anything other info than the bitrate and hz. It may not be outputting at Hi-Res, since the default mixer output too to 32 kbps, and 32 is more than 24. So, the info is very confusing. I will continue to seek ans answer.
this is what i have: https://imgur.com/a/T4kiEBN (output bit depth and samplerate)

And this is what I expect to see and how it look like at Roon: https://imgur.com/851Hdrl
And this is how it can be see at MPD when converting: https://imgur.com/a/MIRaqxW

It can be done? Anyways, thx for the component i think it is quite necessary.

Also sample_rate stop to show itself when i reload a track.

Other Lossy Codecs / Re: TOY, a lossy and experimental "do not use" codec

I think [0, 40, 60, 90, 135, 200, 300, 450, 675, 1020, 1530, 2295, 3825, 6375, 10625, 15000] would be better for 29400Hz and above sampling rates. For 24kHz and below, simply multiplying these values (to reduce them) should be okay while not being the best choice.

I didn't try this because I couldn't compile the Java files (it says "invalid flag"). And this happened after I manually navigated to the folder which has the compiler, as Windows didn't even see it in the path.
