foo_scheduler, Plugin for scheduling actions like play, stop, system shutdown/wake up Options

[Andreasvb]

Select the time and then rightclick your new entry and choose Add action > Rescan media library

[wolfsong]

Select the time and then rightclick your new entry and choose Add action > Rescan media library

that action isn't there

[Andreasvb]

Strange, sure you have the new version?

[wolfsong]

EDIT: problem was actually a cached download

3.1 is here! See changelog.

Thanks for the new "Select track" feature!


What about saving (and loading) scripts into text-formatted files?
It would be a great idea too

EDIT:
Some sort of HTML-like based scripting language, might be an easy way to describe actions:

<on playback end, re-enable after done>
next playlist
select_track = 1
start playback
</on playback end, re-enable after done>

Seems to be the hosting problems. I've changed the link.

[jaslr]

This could be completely the wrong component to be discussing this but, how can I do the following?

I have 3 different Music Folder destinations that are updated quite regularly with new stuff added and older stuff being removed.

How can I both:
a) Update my Media Library automatically (say every 2 hours) to reflect these changes?

b) Overwrite my current playlist with my entire Media Library?

[francesco]

and for 0.8 nothing of similar?

[kalmark]

I have a bug to report, I think. Not tested with 3.1, but existed with some previous versions.
Say, I have one Daily action to stop playback and then shutdown/hibernate my computer, and then one Daily action, which includes waking up from hibernation, changing volume and starting playback.
Now, if I change the time of the second action to a later time (say, from 7am to 8am), the computer still wakes up from hibernation at 7am, but does not do any of the set actions (no volume change, no playback start). It does, though, wake up at 8am again, and does everything it was set to do. (I woke up at 7am for the "power up" sound and hibernated my computer again)
I did reproduce this twice, even with saving everything in foobar. I did not try quitting and starting foobar again.
Just ask if what I'm saying is not clear Thanks for looking into this, the plugin is really very good otherwise

a) With 3.1 you can add an action to refresh ML.

b) I don't know if you can do it actually, but i guess not.

Hello, sorry for my poor English, but I'd like to make a suggestion for the next version.

Could you add something like this in the options:

"After 20 minutes, Stop the playback."

I usually continue listening to music until I fall asleep, so it'd be more convenient to use if this option is possible.

Thanks a lot!!!

You can create something like this:

[x] On menu item "Sleep time"
* Start playback
* 20 minutes delay
* Stop playback

Then use "File/Run scheduler action list/Sleep time" menu item to start action list execution. Playback will be started and after 20 minutes it will be stopped.

I create a scheduler event and when it starts Foobar crashes. The bug report is as follows:

I create a scheduler event and when it starts Foobar crashes. The bug report is as follows:

Can anybody tell me why does it happen? Thanks in advance.

Possibly you've created "Once date/time event" with "Remove after done" or "Player event" with "Remove after done". There is a bug, it's already fixed, but I haven't uploaded new version yet.

[Lexee]

Yes, you're right — I created "once time" event with "remove after done. Thanks for explaining, I'll wait for next release of Scheduler =))

[andrew_smolko]

3.5 RC!
This is release candidate version. Everyone is welcome to test and report about bugs.
Configuration format has been changed, so after update your configuration will be erased.

[eisteh]

The new interface is a bit strange at first sight, but a great improvement

[fabiospark]

Can we choose the IDs (menu and actions) from a list instead of having to write them, please?

Thanks.

[xhandler]

Love this one.. use it instead of radio alarm.. who wants to wake up to "the hits of yesterday" when you can wake up to tomorrows hits on your computer!

[LTourist]

The return of foo_scheuler is a great news!!! That"s the only component that missed in my configuration...Continue on this way, great job!!!

[gren]

huythuy,

your first request seems to me like it would be better implemented as a playback order feature and then you could enable that playback order with the scheduler. But, it's probably more difficult to get them to add it to the player

Your second request can be done in a roundabout way. You need to know where the song is on a playlist... and then choose its entry number with the "select track" action. If you don't have a playlist for it then it won't work (one nice thing about the winamp plugin is that you can specify the patch of a song).


I think the new interface is... interesting... I'm not fully sure whether or not it's an improvement. It probably will help me make multiple alarms for differen times (since they all use full volum + alarm playlist) but... it make it redundant createing sleep timers since I have the event of 30 minute sleep (menu item) and the action list of 30 minute sleep (delay 30 min, stop playback)... If there were an option for maybe menu item timer where in the action list you set your delay time... then I could have my stop playback action... and the different events that had the timer in them. So, just wanted to show the up side and the downside of 3.5 RC.
