Good to hear! Any way I can get the fix before the next RR release?

I'm Running FOOBAR2000 with RR BMV2 on WinXP. So far it works really well and I like it a lot. One issue that I have though is that with some WMA and MP3 files that I have while controlling it in RR it won't allow me to fast forward through a file by clicking on the progress bar, then if i turn off the PC it starts back from the beginning. Its not that I'm turning off the computer wrong or I have RR set not to remember where it left off bc it works fine with most of the rest of my collections. If I open the same files up in FOOBAR w/o RR it works fine and i can scroll through an audio file no problem. Any ideas?

never heard/seen that problem before -- any chance you can send us 1-2 of those problem files for testing ?

I just got a whole new batch of files to listen to and all but one are WMA format. I'm going to listen to them and see how they react and see if i can find a commonality of the ones that have issues. If I still have consistent problems with certain files I'll PM you with a link to them.

Hi guino, any progress on that?

Actually I additionally have exactly the same problems as bratnetwork. may be a corellation?

Here is what I have found. I believe that the issue has to do with the length of the audio files. Short clips that are a few minutes or a little longer i have no problems with no matter what format it is in. The issue seems to occur with my longer files, some ranging from 45min to in excess of 75min in one single file. If i close RR and open foobar and select the file from the RR playlist i can start it and then click on the progress bar and jump to where i left off, then open up RR and it will continue playing. But in RR it always starts at the beginning of the longer files even after hibernation. I can hold down FF button and it will FF through a minute or so at a time, but i cannot click on the progress bar and move ahead like i can with shorter audio files.

So in my opinion the issue has to do with RR not being able to handle or calculate long audio files. I could be wrong, but that just what it seems to be to me.

Spacelord: are the files that you are having an issue with also long files, or are they just normal length files?

definitely with the large files, but I'm pretty sure, that happens on short files also. can't test right now, my car is in service.

Hi Guino, anybody

Please make base of foobarvis to different .
Wmp vis so cool but I like sound of boobar

I cannot change vis of foobar.

I test by use plugin winampvis for foobar ( milky drop2) Its work on foobar player by play alone But when I run on RR and start vis its have problem cannot run vis winamp plugin for foobar .I think that RR use foobarvis from base vis of foobar??

Please please....

And I have ploblem about set vis transparent vis

**mezz64** · 11-24-2009, 07:49 PM

I'm not sure about the vis plugin for foobar, but in my own testing I found that RRconfig doesn't save the transparency setting for the visual. If you edit it by hand in rr.ini you can get transparency.
