-i %s -acodec alac %d

i did two ways.. but still same message coming;
conversion failed - unexpected process exit code 00000001h

what is correct ffmpeg parameters for foo_dop?

thanks again for reply!!


Well, you need to tell ffmpeg to use standard input as input, so try
this (I never used foo_dop, though)

  -i - -acodec alac %d

hope this helps,

I love this plugin... Foobar doesn't make my album art fubar. One question/problem. I have an iPod Touch 2G firmware 2.2.1 and I can't figure out how to edit tags or cover art once the songs are sent to the device. Am I doing something wrong, I've tried almost every option from every menue, or is this a limitation of the plugin or my iPod?

For artwork, you can only 'fill in' missing art once the file has been sent. If the art is modified, currently you have to remove the file and re-add it.

For tags, do you wish to modify the files on your computer or directly on the iPod?

a couple of questions:

i'm getting an iPod classic soon (the 160gb one) and i would like to know a couple of things....

do i need to have iTunes at all (besides the updates and stuff) for my iPod to work with foobar?
when i send multiple playlists to my iPod, but some of them contain the same files more than once, would only a one copy of a file be sent, or it would be present more than once on my iPod?

and a question regarding the last.fm scrobbling (if anyone knows) - do i need to listen to the full track, or 50% of it in order to scrobble it?

No, you don't, except for possible firmware updates. You should activate disk usage and deactivate opening iTunes when connecting your iPod, though.

Yes, IIRC, only one copy of the file will be sent. This goes across playlists as well.

and a question regarding the last.fm scrobbling (if anyone knows) - do i need to listen to the full track, or 50% of it in order to scrobble it?
The iPod won't update at 50%, but rather when the file reaches its end. So, seeking to the end of the file on your iPod should work, as in iTunes.

Isn't disk usage using the iPod as a standard hard drive, mounted with a drive letter? If so, then is disabling it truly necessary? I have it enabled on my fifth generation Classic and experience no issues with it and using foo_dop.

Directly on the iPod. Currently I'm only able to copy the files back to my PC, edit, delete them from the iPod and resend them. It's still better than using iTunes.

The iPod touch/iPhone doesn't report the last modified times of files to the component, which complicates things a bit unfortunately. After running 'Load library' and modifying the tags of a file, you have to run the foobar2000 command 'Reload Info' on it (in Properties, or you can add it to the shortcut menu), and then 'iPod/Update metadata on iPod'.

Reload info... I didn't think of doing that. Thanks, it works great now.

Yes, I believe foo_dop can't write to it unless it's set to disk usage, and thus you'll have to unmount it to avoid I/O errors or so. The part about disabling opening iTunes is more about convenience (but personally, I remember having album artwork problems with it (starting iTunes whatever the occasion) enabled before).

thx for the reply... two more questions that came to my mind as well are:

is it possible to upload song lyrics with the foo_dop like in iTunes, and what are the requirements?

and how much (in a rough presumption) time does it take to fill up 120gb out of the full capacity?

I don't know how long, but a fair while, and even longer if transcoding is involved. It is a good idea to take the iPod out of any case/cover to avoid it overheating.

As for transfer speeds, I'm looking at about 1.3 to 1.4 files a second, which means... Somewhere around 6 MB/s? I'll try timing it.

EDIT: *Cough* Most of the files I tried with were 320kbps. ^^; 220 files in exactly six minutes means (6*60)/220~1.6 seconds per file or a transfer speed of 489MB/(6*60)~1.4MB/s... Ke?

EDITEDIT: Stupid me. 1012MB/(6*60)~2.8MB/s. Anyway,  I guess you can be looking at 10-20 hours?

My 2g iPod touch is not detected in foobar2000. I have both foo_dop and the mobile thing in the right places. Any reason this would be happening?

Just a quick question (sorry if it's already been covered ):

How does foo_dop manage podcasts? Specifically, how do I get them to show up in the "podcast" section of my ipod classic?

Cheers, Mitch

EDIT: Found some info here: "Itunes and Old Podcasts" (more info here, from mp3tag forum)

Apparently, for an mp3 file, the frames PCST and WFED are required for "apple-complaint" podcasts, which can be added using the ITUNESPODCAST and ITUNESPODCASTURL frames in MP3tag. I've done this and been able to add them to the podcast section in iTunes (kinda, some files still aren't showing, still finding out what's going wrong), and been able to transfer them to the ipod using iTunes and have them show up properly. Still figuring out how to do it in Foobar .

Note:

ITUNESPODCAST is mapped to PCST (i think?) just signifies that the file is a podcast. Should be set to 1
ITUNESPODCASTURL (WFED?) is the URL of the podcast, and is what iTunes uses to sort podcasts. If you have a bunch of files you want listed as the same podcast, this field needs to be the same.

Some people just use iTunes for that (and subscribe to the podcast in iTunes), it should be easier with the latest version of this component, and you can set up iTunes to sync podcasts only.

You can't add Podcasts 'properly' (so they come up in the Podcasts section etc.) with this component.

what's the compatibility mode issue, does it mean i can't have id3v2.4 tags on my iPod?
It varies between models etc. You will just have to try and and find out (though I think the iPod classic is OK).

Check the checklist first: http://yuo.be/wiki/dop:dop#help_my_iphone_...is_not_detected


I feel stupid.

Anyway, I got it to work, but how do I choose songs to sync in my library, instead of putting the whole thing on?

so, basically, i only have to put the lyrics to the songs, and they appear on the iPod without a problem?
is the lyricsgrabber plugin good for the job?




and yes, one thing i forgot.... i tag my genres with a ; so they get separated (making them multivalue) so by assigning an artists with "Electronic; Experimental Rock; Alternative Rock" the artist appears in every one of those genres (in foobar)

would the same thing happen on my iPod?

Best way is to create a playlist in foobar2000, and sync with that.

You need to tag you files as it said on the wiki.

The iPod doesn't support multiple values per field. By default the component will concatenate those, if you want some other behaviour you can use the field remappings.

so... i can't get the following genre listings on my iPod, or what?

Nooot really as splitted values, so that song A, which is "rock; pop" shows up under both rock and pop. I suggest remapping you genres with "$meta(genre,0)", which'll return the first listed genre.

yeah, but i don't wish to change my files on the hard drive... if i leave them as they are like now, how would they come up on my iPod?

and is it a big issue, or something that could be fixed by a software update by apple? (so i can mail them a feedback)

No, you can remap the metadata as it gets sent. Check the Tools->iPod Manager in Preferences.
