foo_wave_seekbar, pretty accelerated seekbar Options

[wojtek]

Works beautifully after Direct upgrade.

dont know if im missing something here but i can not get this to load.
keep getting this:

Failed to load DLL: foo_wave_seekbar.dll
Reason: Wrong version number; this component appears to have been built with a newer version of the foobar2000 SDK, please download latest version of foobar2000 in order to use it.

i have installed the DirectX August 2009 runtime redistributable & already had the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package installed.
running v0.9.6.9 on Vista Ultimate SP2, any ideas? thanks

[Zao]

I would guess that the SDK most probably has 1.0 as a minimum version by default.
Also, it does not require the VC++ redist as it's statically linked against VC10's CRT.

[Jack Schmaltz]

fair enough, at least i know its not me being a numpty then.
so this is only for v1.0 of foobar then? will it be staying like this or will it be made compatible with the current stable version?
thanks for your time

[Zao]

The baseline will most probably be 1.0 as I cannot see any smooth way to support older ones except for modifying the SDK (would probably backfire horribly) or downgrade the SDK (no thanks).

Thanks alot for this component!!

Works fine on Windows 7 64bit.

[dubpistol]

Brilliant component.

Thank you!

[insnowflakes]

Great mod, thanks a lot.

Have to echo those sentiments. Works great on 64bit Win7 and with the Direct2D renderer.

[Horst Fux]

Just awesome, works perfect.

But needs a little bit time to analyse the song, though. It's great anyways.

One request:

In the normal seekbar I can abort the seeking by pressing Esc while holding the bar; would it be possible?

It's not like I need this feature everyday but sometimes.

You can abort seeking by moving your cursor far enough away from the bar while dragging, much like scrollbars in Windows in general.

[mudlord]

But needs a little bit time to analyse the song, though.

Thats expected, as it needs to do a FFT on the stream to get the spectrum readout.

[Zao]

No FFT needed, as it's min/max/rms amplitude over time. I haven't profiled it, but there's not much to improve; most of the cost is in IO, which I guess could be serialized to get sequential disk reads.
It already runs up to three concurrent worker threads for the scan jobs, so it's already taking advantage of multiple cores if available.

crashes my foobar when i try to place the component.

win7 x64, foobar 1.0 beta6



will directx 9.0c co-exist peacefully with directx 11?

[Zao]

Yes, they coexist perfectly fine.
What kind of graphics hardware do you have? The crash is when trying to load the effect. Try 0.1.3.

how does the db cope with moving of files, or tag modifications?
the scanning of tracks is fast and all that, but takes its time when considering lots of albums.

As mentioned in the first post, it doesn't track moved or renamed files. It associates the scanned data with the location (path + subsong) of the track.
Removing dead items and rescanning tends to be feasible, but I realize that things like moving your whole music library to a different drive or portable installs could be painful.
It is possible to change the locations in the storage database, but currently one has to resort to the standalone sqlite3 client as the component does not expose any such functionality yet.

thanks, sounds interesting, maybe to make some reports with the data in the db, I'll give it a look

If only you could replace the toolbar's seekbar with this one..

[midkay]

this is awesome, thanks for the great work!

Thanks for the correction.

Works fine with Windows XP SP3, DirectX 9.0c latest and crappy Intel Mobile 965.

Nice component !!

I have 3 requests:

1. What about decentralized wavecache.db, as is thumbs.db for picture thumbnails. Every folder has it's own Database. Or even to write to ID3 tag in something like WAVEFORM.

2. A scanning engine like replaygain or foo_bpm.

3. For Default UI make it available as toolbar element, too.

1. Per-folder databases could technically be possible, but they would interfere with things like the renamer deleting/moving old folder contents. As for storing them in tags, it too is technically possible.
2. Elaborate. Are you referring to some kind of progress bar? That is planned eventually.
3. There exists no SDK interface to make non-button toolbar elements.

[dubpistol]

I just want to ask for a tooltip that shows the bars' time when I drag it, like the standard seekbar

I follow up this question.

[(Sly)]

2. Yes. And a scan results window showing if some files failed to scan for example.

For big files like comedy shows (60min+) it should display intermediate results of the on-the-fly scanning. like Virtual DJ does.
