Foobar2000 Audio Player

foo_hdcd ~ Foobar2000 HDCD Decoder

Posted by tom2tec on

This PCM postprocessor component, currently utilized by the CDDA, WAV, FLAC, and WavPack inputs, will process 16-bit PCM data with HDCD packets into 20-bit PCM. If it fails to find any packet headers within the first 5 seconds of a track, it gives up.

The HDCD status will be indicated in the info variable “hdcd,” retrievable with either %__hdcd% or $info(hdcd). Extra info variables are “hdcd_peak_extend,” “hdcd_transient_filter” and “hdcd_gain.”

Also included is a simple scanner that processes up to 5 seconds of each track selected and reports all tracks which contain HDCD information. If users want it, I will impement a full file scanner that also reports which HDCD features are used throughout the tracks.

Those FLACs should still contain HDCD information, and the %__hdcd% info tag should be showing as much in the status bar. (Or in the playlist, if you have a playlist view that updates with dynamic metadata.)

foo_mpv ~ foobar2000 Local Video Support

Posted by tom2tec on

This component allows playing local video files in foobar2000 using libmpv. It is not a foobar decoder, it will just play the video for files that foobar is already playing via other input components. You may need to install other decoders or foo_input_ffmpeg to play certain files.

Features:

  • Video player can be a default UI element, columns UI panel or a separate window
  • On-screen control on the video
  • Fullscreen mode
  • Generates video thumbnails as album art, with optional manual thumbnail chooser
  • Video panels can act as an album art viewer when no video is present to avoid wasting space
  • Reads mpv.conf and input.conf
  • Provides some interfaces for integrating mpv Lua scripts with foobar2000

foo_pggb_rt ~ Foobar2000 Realtime Resampler

Posted by tom2tec on

foo-RT – A PGGB-RT foobar2000 (Windows) component up samples or down samples your audio tracks in near real-time fashion using insanely long linear filters. We are able to do this by using hardware acceleration PGGB-RT SDK. We say ‘near real-time’ because remastering using insanely long filters require a finite time. Depending on the length of your track and the filter length (in millions of taps) you choose, the very first track will take anywhere from a few seconds to a few ten seconds to start. The subsequent tracks would play in a gap-less fashion
