Foobar2000 is not Apollo. Well, it may get implemented if you are persistent enough.


Vis is for testing ONLY (I thought the installer made it obvious enough).
If the vis code is finalised, then some coders will definitely get some nice vis going.

It has been requested and if I remember correctly Peter promised to add it.


Visualization in standard UI is not same thing as visualization called "Test" in installer. The one in installer can be activated from components menu, visualization in toolbar is hardcoded in the UI and can't be replaced with vis dlls.

"Playlist selection color..." does not get updated after choosing a new color and hitting OK. If you bring up one of the other color selection dialogs when you hit OK the color is updated imediately. Bringing up another color dialog and hitting OK also updated the "playlist selection color" if it has been changed.

OS: Win NT 4.0
foobar2000 version 0.7 b37

Right clicking the toolbars in the new gui fails on a multi-monitor system, when foobar is in negative coordinates. No menu shows up.

Also, I would like to second the requests for being able to move toolbars to the bottom of the gui, above the status bar, and for configurable vis colors.

But, I will now say, that I'm once more back to using foobar from Winamp, and I can't find any reason to ever go back.

"Bring to front when adding new files from commandline" is broken, or something else is wrong. Upon selecting "Play in foobar2000" from right-click context menu, Foobar is brought to front regardless of whether option is checked or not. Running Win2k SP4 & fb2k 0.7 b37

there's a little issue with seekbar and mpc. if i seek forward and then back, for example, some fragment of song plays 2 times. this happens only if i click on some position of seekbar. if i move slider, all works fine. i'm using kernel streaming and 3000 ms buffer.

I don't know if this is buggish, just overlooked, or behavior by design (searching didn't yield anything useful), but the Playlist Search window should have it's own, or use the same one as playlist, formatting strings, font setting, etc.

When using any format string that's more complex than the default, the results come out quite garbled, making it difficult to read.

In Beta 37...

When trying to open folder C:\My Flac Files\James Iha , I noticed Foobar always locks up and gives an error message saying:

foobar2000.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvience.

So I click on the link that gives more info, and it gives me this message:

AppName: foobar2000.exe
AppVer: 0.0.0.0
ModName: foo_flac.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0
Offset: 000046e0

Upon trying to open some other folders, it seems that only some folders cause Foobar to lock up, and others do not... so I have no idea what is going on.

I am using Case's installer on Windows XP SP1.

MyAdviceIha, can you try if using this foo_flac helps.

Thank you. So far, so good. I tried opening several of the folders that had been causing it to lock up, and all went well.

I have a problem with opening 400MB RAR file with .ape and .cue files. Foobar is trying to open every song from cue but can't and is using 500MB of VM. But there is no indication about what's going on. At the end finally is some message about errors. It takes ages HDD is almost burning. It could be usefull to set it at lowest priority to opening and show some progres bar.

Bug when adding files from the 'eject' button. When I add more than one file the one that's supposed to be first ends up last. Ie. I add files sound1, sound2 sound3 sound4 and they end up listed as sound2 sound3 sound4 sound1.

AFAIK that's a Windows bug. TMPGEnc does the same when joining files.

Really?! I've heard a lot of people say it before, but Windows really is a POS. Ah well, sorry about the false bug report.

I've also been getting this issue while loading a bunch of flacs, tried that foo_flac, but it didnt solve it.. beta 37, xp SP1. It seems to be quite intermittent, if I persist in loading the same folder(s) it will sometimes work, but then at times if I initate a replaygain scan it will crash out during that.

Also noticed it only seems to happen when loading a dir with multiple subdirs. If I go through and load each album individually it doesnt happen.

I haven't tried this with previous versions so I don't know how or if this is new. I had beta37 playing a track while I'm processing a wav in EAC 0.95pb3. As soon as I select either save or save selection in the File menu of EAC foobar stops audio playback. The seekbar will be stopped at wherever the track was at the time but "x" or pause do not continue where left off. "c" or play will start the track over from the beginning as normal. The seekbar can be dragged around but this seems to have no effect. The only way to continue playback seems to be starting over at the beginning of the track or starting a different track from the playlist.

i have foobar on monitor 3 all the time, i didn't even realize there were right click menus.
everytime i clicked them, i just assumed they weren't implemented or something

now i know

heh

Yeah, same thing here, but I saw all this stuff about people w/ the menus and disabling toolbars and such, and figured it was a multi-mon bug, since I've run into them before, both in other people's software, and in my own (All my apps are multi-mon compatible now). It's just kinda one of those things to look out for when you use multi-mon. If something works a little flakey, or doesn't quite work, put it on your main monitor, and test it there, too.

Invalid utf8 encoding in tags makes Album List block foobar (looks like an infinite loop somewhere). I found this out because of a bug in foo_tradersfriend (which I fixed). Since non-utf8 tag values are evil, this is probably not the fault of Album List.

beta38 posted

Great work on the new seekbar !!!!

beta38 does not start on my Win98SE (I tried lite installer and Case's special installer). There's not the slightest notable response - no window popping up, no error message, nothing.

Same issue here.
Clean install.

Ansi utf8api.dll was from old version, new one can be downloaded here. Installers include the fixed file now too.

Problem solved now.
Thanks.

There seems to be a little glitch when seeking in flac file with embeded cue, namely starting from second/third track attempt to seek (whether forward or backward) skips to the next track instead.

This is some kind of bloody issue with the way DDE works. The window is brought to front by system apparently.
Workaround, use "minimize to systray".

A friendly reminder to everyone, stop posting feature requests / bug reports about components that aren't included with standard setup / "omg this build uses more cpu than that build" reports. If you really have to, start your own damn thread. You will have better chance of not being deleted that way, not to mention getting replies not being interrupted by / not interrupting 0.7 bug reports.

Both fixed with Beta38, clean install.

System: windows xp sp 1, foobar 0.7 beta 38.

When adding files using rightclick on multiple files, play in foobar, only adds one file, restarts the player, clears previous file, adds the next one, and so on.

This occured after installing Window Blinds 4 and skinning it with the skins that comes with the package. When removing the option to skin foobar2000, the problem went away.

When using diskwriter, the progress bar doesn't work. It doesn't show progess anymore

Bete 38, WinXP, coverting MP3 to 16bit PCM dithered, everything esle disabled.

Console does not seem to pop up om clipping warnings anymore, even if both show clipping warnings and pop up on errors are checked.

Well it will show the warnings, but it wont pop up.

Could be this is intentional (ie.: to many people complaining: huh I get al these strange error messages, is this going to harm my computer? )

Anyway I think it should pop up when these options are checked, otherwise it kind of defeats the purpose. (JMHO)

Changed them to infos from warnings to shut people up.
Perhaps they should be warnings when that option is checked (and infos otherwise), and that option should be unchecked by default.

Thank you for fixing the multi-mon menu on the toolbars bug.

-Scott

thanks guys for the multimon fix!

1. flooding images removed, 2. read a few posts up

Just curious (someone please split this from 0.7 thread if considered spam) - what was exactly happenning and in what way it changed?

Hello.
I seem to have problems with module files using the beta version of foobar2000.
It didn't happen with beta 28, but happens with 37 and 38 (those are the only beta versions I have).
There's no problem with 0.667 either.

What happens is foobar2000 plays a module file fine and then when it changes to another file, be it module or any kind of audio it stops outputting any sound.

That's what the console outputs:
ERROR (CORE) : playback thread shutdown timed out

I tried the regular mod component and kode54's one (if there's any difference that is :x). Tried Directsound output mode both software and hardware as well as the WaveOut mode.

The files I try to playback btw are umx, xm and it.
Sorry if the problem has already been reported, I did a search first though.

Sounds like bass.dll (or something in foo_mod.dll) locks up on those files; I suggest that you upload them somewhere.

Can't reproduce.

Ok now I feel bad... sorry for wasting your time :/
I reinstalled latest beta and now it works...

The issue was that when Foobar was on a monitor with negative coordinates, right clicking the toolbar in the new gui did not bring up a menu at all.

What's changed, is that now the menu comes up.

-Scott

Beta39 uploaded with new SDK, diskwriter outputs require editing/recompiling.

Still problems with streaming.
After an underrun output starts to loop when using DirectSound.

When I right click on foobar2000 in the taskbar, I don't have the usual contextual menu being displayed (stop, pause, play, previous, etc...). Instead I get this (the same thing as in the "Foobar2000" menu):

Always on top
----------------
Preferences
About
Exit

But clicking one one of those items makes nothing happening.

After that, it becomes impossible to reduce/enlarge/close foobar2000's window's size by clicking on the items on the right top corner. The [x] item becomes grey, not black. Then, this happens also to most other programs' windows. Closing and reopening foobar2000 doesn't make the problem dissapear.

No problem when foobar2000 is reduced in the systray.

foobar2000 v0.7 beta 39 and 38, clean install.
Windows98se, fresh install with full updates.

*head explosion* i fixed identical problem before, apparently the fix works only on win2k/xp.
[edit] thanks for info, i think i've worked out a better fix.

The Title Formating for the System Tray icon has a bug. If the system tray is set to display the title of a song in any way, and their is an '&' symbol in the title, it will be displayed three times in a row, rather then once. Happens in beta 38 & 39. Don't know about other beta's.

Not here ™.
Are you running windows9x version of foobar2000 ?
[edit] running win9x version of fb2k makes no difference (under winxp that is), I believe this is a problem with your OS.

Same problem.
