foo_custominfo replacement for 0.9.6?

Hey, until recently, I've been using 0.9.4.5 with foo_custominfo and foo_skip so I can mark tracks to skip in a database (as opposed to the tracks own tags).
I upgraded to 0.9.6 and basically rebuilt my foobar, though foo_custominfo doesn't seem to work properly. Is there another plugin available that allows me to store information in a txt/sql/whatever database so I can continue using foo_skip properly?
Thanks

You can use the official Playback Statistics component.

edit: you can skip tracks with %rating% set to "1"

This works, but it isn't nearly as good as foo_custominfo.  What is lost is the ability to script the custom field so skip can be implemented as a toggle.  With foo_custominfo it was possible to create toggle under Context Menu Commands like this:

$ifgreater(%skipped%,0,0,1)


If anyone knows how to create skip\unskip functionality as a toggle without using foo_custominfo I'd be happy to upgrade...  if not I will stay on 0.9.5.1 where I can still use foo_custominfo.

See below the implementation I only use CTRL-S to toggle the skip boxes on and off.  To create the boxes I use font that supports ballot boxes and:  $if($strcmp(%skipped%,1),?,?)

I didn't know about this component, thanks!  It works well.  I just implemented the toggle skip now with 0.9.6.9 now using foo_customdb.  It now works the same as foo_custominfo that I shared in my example above, and I can use the toggle for skip by setting properties value to $ifgreater(%skipped%,0,0,1).  If anyone is interested I can share more details of how to set this up.

Has anyone tested foo_skip on 1.0.1?  It looks like I have everything in place, but tracks won't skip.

My filter looks like:
Code: [Select]
$ifequal(%skip%,1,skip,)


I couldn't find an example in this thread, does the skip tag look correct here?:


Lastly, I do have Playback > Skip Tracks checked.

TIA

b225ccc,

are you using the latest version (http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/foobar2000/?changes=all)?

Edit: I do not use this plugin, but further help you can find for example here, especially see posts #5, #6.
This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

With v0.7:
Preferences --> Advanced --> Playback --> Skip Track query: %skip% IS 1
