foo_touchremote 0.1.1

pieceofsummer — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 21:56:44 +0000

Here’s a small update for all of you, people.

Now you can browse and play your library music. Selected albums or search results are now loaded into auto-playlist on the foobar’s side.
Also compression of data was added. Almost all output traffic is gzipped, so loading large numbers of tracks should be faster now. Album art is not compressed, but it is now resized as requested by iPhone app.

Known bugs:
- Currently playing track list (those you ‘flip’ on the NP screen to set ratings) is not working.
- No shortcut letters in the lists. Seems Remote supports only latin letters, making anything else to be ‘#’. That require me to change sort order (latin letters first, numbers and all other letters next), and it is not so cool. Need to think on how to override that behavior.
- Any library changes are reflected only after foobar restart. That should be fixed soon.

As it is usable somehow, download link is posted to the product page, so grap it there.

Roadmap

Some info for those of you guys who likes and uses my foobar plugins.
1. foo_w7shell updated to version 0.2.9.1. Settings page is not legacy anymore, now it uses new apply/cancel features.
2. foo_touchremote won’t be published for some time. I have no wifi at the moment (my home router is partially broken), so unable to test the plugin. Anyway, I’m working on the library support and still planning to post an update until the end of January.

Also I’m going to use 1.0 SDK for foo_touchremote, but it would break compatibility with older foobar versions. So I’d like to ask if you really need that 0.9.x support? If you don’t, 0.9.x support will be dropped, so vote in the comments!

foo_w7shell 0.2.9

pieceofsummer — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 00:35:31 +0000

Hello people!
Many of you have probably updated to foobar 1.0 and noticed artwork configuration available. This is really cool, but API is a little different from the old one, so foo_w7shell couldn’t use benefits of new album art extractor.

I have also updated to the latest foobar version, so made a fix for the plugin and named it 0.2.9. You could get it at the download page, as usual.
It is built with the new SDK and works only on foobar 1.0 (or later). Those of you who is still on 0.9.x branch should use previous versions of the plugin.

foo_w7shell 0.2.8.1

Just find three differences

foo_w7shell 0.2.8

pieceofsummer — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 00:46:28 +0000

You wanted Aero Peek and Flip3D? Well, you’ve got it.

Personally I think these features are useless for foobar. And a bit buggy:

Image of the same size as thumbnail looks ugly in Flip3D (I have no idea why MS decided to show thumbnail instead of live preview there).
Window must to be shown at least once to make Aero Peek working. It’s a common issue for any app.
Too frequent painting of a live preview image drains a lot of CPU, so it is made not so “live” as it should.
When window is maximized, there are some glitches with its frame size in Peek mode.

Blame MS for all that stuff

P.S. I’m still on RC, so someone should test it on RTM. I wanna to know if something changed.

foo_cuefilter 0.1.7

pieceofsummer — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:20:05 +0000

This is almost a complete code rewrite.
It should have better performance and no stupid glitches (I hope) of previous version.

Quick download: foo_cuefilter 0.1.7.

foo_w7shell 0.2.7.0

pieceofsummer — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 07:56:05 +0000

This release introduces new experimental feature: playlist list in jumplist (OMG! A lot of “lists” around.) Now you can change playlist without opening main window – just choose one from foobar’s context menu.

Also there are two new icons for “play” and “preferences”. Hope they’re not very awful…

Go to product page to read more.

Quick download: foo_w7shell 0.2.7.0.

foo_w7shell 0.2.6.2 released

pieceofsummer — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:20:48 +0000

This is minor release. It should solve an issue with thumbnail flipped vertically in late betas (7057).
It also doesn’t crash anymore on foobar2000 update/reinstallation, when foobar runs without creating a window.

Quick download: foo_w7shell 0.2.6.2.

CUE Playlist Filter 0.1.6 released

pieceofsummer — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 15:24:26 +0000

What’s new:

A few settings (see Advanced/Tools/CUE Playlist Filter)
Fixed issue with absolute/relative paths in CUEs. But you still should avoid using this bullshit !!!
