foo_vst: VST 2.4 adapter, Multi-instance, multichannel, and seamless; Now back in development Options

[extrabigmehdi]

It doesn't work on win8.
foo_vst is recognized, but VST are not visible

Try to disable windows theme and/or desktop composition.
The issue might be a font displayed in white over a white background.
I say this , because this remind me an old issue, when I've upgraded to vista, with a particular software.

The dowload is not working. It says zip file is invalid.
Could some one upload a working copy ?

thanks

foo_playlist_attributes.dll 0.5.1 (default settings)
foo_vst.dll 0.9.0.3

Add any VST plugin into the DSP chain, play a file and close foobar2000 while playing or when the playback is paused => fb2k crashes.

However it doesn't crash without foo_playlist_attributes.

It works for me using Windows 7 Explorer and the free program 7-Zip, but just in case anyone else has this issue, I’ve added another ZIP that I unarchived and re-compressed using the former.

It doesn't work with the latest version?

Hey guys. I just made a very basic tutorial for beginners on how to use this brilliant plugin.

Anybody can fix crash in this plugin?
Thanks.

What crash? Are we to assume that you are referring to this report from 15 months ago?

foobar2000 1.1.9

Online Troubleshooter:
foo_vst.dll : VST 2.4 adapter 0.9.0.3
Reason: Repeated crash reports.

Either way, did you not think it would be helpful to everyone involved if you posted some actual information? When does it crash, what else was being done in fb2k at that time, what hardware are you using, which other details of your installation/configuration may be relevant to people trying to help you, etc.

The latest version of Foobar 1.2.3 does not play when resuming playback on restart while VSTs are loaded in my DSP chain using foo_vst 2.4 (using two VST plugins Electri-Q posihfopit and Headfit). Any playback action (stop, pause, play) won't work and result in 'program not reponding' with 25% cpu usage (1 core 100%). So whatever you do... foobar crashes. This does not happen when there are no VST plugins loaded in the DSP chain (reproducable time after time).
Could this please be fixed? The only workaround for now is disabling 'resume playback after restarting foobar2000' in the playback settings.

The latest version of Foobar 1.2.3 does not play when resuming playback on restart while VSTs are loaded in my DSP chain using foo_vst 2.4 (using two VST plugins Electri-Q posihfopit and Headfit).

I got same crashes using this specific vst plugins, Electri-Q posihfopit. In my case, it is reproducible by changing the preset rapidly. I've never got this kind of crashes before, so I suspected it was the vst plugin.

[extrabigmehdi]

What annoys me , is that foobar crash when I close it directly during playback (when there's a dsp chain using vst).
To avoid crash, I must press first stop , and then only close.
This is especially true with vst with big latency : I guess there's something in cache/buffer, and foobar don't have time time to clean it when you close it.
I'm wondering why it couldn't be automated ? ( a safe stop, when you close).

Never had these crashes in earlier versions of Foobar though... Yet indeed, Electri-Q in this vst wrapper has always been a little buggy when loading/saving presets or opening and closing the configuration UI multiple times (opening too fast after closing).

[Propheticus]

This problem still exists. I performed a bit of trial and error and found out the hang/crash* on restart only occurs when I'm using both foo_out_wasapi in EVENT mode AND foo_vst with actual VSTs loaded in the DSP chain.
Foobar does not crash when using either DirectSound or Wasapi PUSH mode output though.

Therefore, my current workaround for this problem is switching to push mode Wasapi output.



*even doing nothing at all and trying to close foobar will result in a 'program is not responding'...

It doesn't work with Ozone 5

[DonGateley]

After reading the thread I am still confused about something. Is it or is it not possible to have the controls of a VST plugin available in a window for tweaking while simultaneously having the controls of the fb2k main window available for controlling it?

[Propheticus]

I've just tested this for you. Yes, you can control Foobar's main window while editing VST dsp settings. However, you cannot edit other settings or control the preferences window.

Thanks for that. I was doing something wrong. With "Configure selected" I can get the plug's UI in a window and tweak it while I'm operating the main fb2k window just fine. The only nag is that the Preferences:DSP Manager window is locked. I guess that is standard fb2k operation when configuring any plug but it prohibits further manipulation of active plugins or their UI's. Wish they'd fix that. :-)
