foo_gdrive_stream ~ Google Drive Streaming

Posted by tom2tec on

foobar2000 v2 x64 component for exposing a configured Google Drive folder as a playlist/feed item, similar to source components such as YouTube Source.

Playback prioritizes stability: the component downloads a selected Drive file to a local cache on first playback, then delegates decoding to foobar2000’s normal input components using the cached local file.

Features:

  • Google OAuth desktop flow with system browser, localhost redirect, and PKCE.
  • OAuth token saved under the foobar2000 profile and protected with Windows DPAPI when available.
  • Preferences page for OAuth client JSON, Drive folder ID/URL, cache directory, cache size limit, and saved token removal.
  • Recursive file listing from Google Drive files.list, limited to downloadable audio-looking blob files.
  • Playlist insertion using gdrive://<fileId>/<encoded filename>.
  • Playlist/feed track support using gdrive://folder/<folderId>/<encoded name>.
  • File menu integration under File > Google Drive Stream, including folder URL/ID loading into a new playlist.
  • Front cover artwork support from image files in the same Drive folder, preferring names such as cover, folder, front, album, or artwork.
  • Artwork inheritance for nested folders, Album/cover.jpg can apply to tracks under Album/Disc 1.
  • Context menu expansion of a selected folder feed into its current Drive audio files.
  • Context menu refresh that replaces the already-expanded gdrive:// file tracks immediately after the folder feed.
  • First-play cache download through Drive files.get?alt=media.

Audio Sharing ~ Stream Via RTSP

Posted by on

With Audio Sharing you can share your current computer audio playback in the form of an RTSP stream. This stream can then be played back by other devices, for example using VLC.

By sharing the audio as a network stream, you can also use common devices that are not intended to be used as audio sinks (eg. smartphones) to receive it. For example, there are audio accessories that are not compatible with desktop computers (e.g. because the computer does not have a Bluetooth module installed). With the help of this app, the computer audio can be played back on a smartphone, which is then connected to the Bluetooth accessory.

Live Compositor ~ Realtime Video & Audio Mixing

Posted by tom2tec on

Live Compositor is an engine for applying effects to videos and for combining multiple videos together. On a very basic level, it is an application which exposes an HTTP API. The API allows you to specify where to get input videos, and how to modify and compose them together. The resulting outputs can then be written to a file or streamed to a separate service.
