General - (fb2k) / Re: Hires Internet Radio - Buffering
Last post by mycroft -But I used mpv without any special setup, and first time there was not enough buffering but next time it managed to buffer something more. So as Gus. pointed out its all about buffer length (from network point of view not DAC one).

General - (fb2k) / How to Add a Bit Depth Column in Foobar2000 Media Library View
Last post by DCS -I’m trying to set up my Foobar2000 Media Library to show the bit depth (e.g., 16-bit, 24-bit) of my audio files alongside the usual columns like title, artist, and sample rate.
I’ve tried adding %bitdepth% as a custom column, but it doesn’t seem to display anything—the column shows up, but it’s empty for all tracks, including FLACs that I know are 24-bit.
Am I missing the correct metadata field or syntax?
Is there a working title formatting string or component that reliably shows bit depth?
I’ve already checked:
- %bitdepth%
- %__bitdepth%
- %bitspersecond%
- %samplerate% (this works for sample rate, but not bit depth)
Would really appreciate a working example or advice from anyone who has successfully added this column.
Thanks in advance!

foobar2000 for Mac / Re: foobar2000 for Mac: bugs
Last post by scannt -- if I try to map an action to a key in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu in Preferences, the popup dialog shows "Cannot map this combo" (seems to happens for any key combination or single key)... as this dialog cannot be dismissed without mapping a key, the only option is to kill the program (there's no valid key to map)
I'm on Apple M2 Pro and current macOS Sequoia version 15.5.

Development - (fb2k) / Testing Windows ARM64EC components
Last post by Piotr Fusik -Building seems easy, but how to test? I thought I could test on my M1 Mac with Wine. Unfortunately, the foobar2000 installer for ARM says "Windows 11 or later Windows version is required to run foobar2000 (ARM64EC)". How does it check the Windows version?

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: Biography Discussion
Last post by regor -I may take a look at it, but don't expect too much... this script requires constant maintenance since it depends on an online service and I am not going to replace wilb. I guess someone else will have to continue this work in the future.

Support - (fb2k) / Re: Very long image search (only with Linux / Foobar2000V2)
Last post by paregistrase -Tried to use the wine package from the official arch repos, not 3 party.
Make sure you have Enabled multilib
To enable multilib repository, uncomment the [multilib] section in /etc/pacman.conf:
/etc/pacman.conf
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Uninstall all wine and make sure that you choose it right and install al dependencies.
Make a new profile
env WINEPREFIX=/home/<yourusername>/.wine-test wineboot -u
make a portable install
env WINEPREFIX=/home/<yourusername>/.wine-test wine <path to foobar 64 install exe>
run foobar with
env WINEPREFIX=/home/<yourusername>/.wine-test wine start /unix <path to foobar2000.exe>
To make a test of 32 bits
make a 32 profile
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/<yourusername>/.wine-test-32 wineboot -u
install portable foobar 32
env WINEPREFIX=/home/<yourusername>/.wine-test-32 wine <path to foobar 32 install exe> (note that set WINEARCH is only necessary to create the 32 profile, once created is not needed)
env WINEPREFIX=/home/<yourusername>/.wine-test-32 wine start /unix <path to foobar2000 32 exe>
Now to use others wine that you can download
extract the zip to a directory
Inside you will find a folder named bin, in it there are the binaries of wine, winecfg, regedit, etc that you can run without instal or build anything
For example a 32 bit wine prefix with a wine-staging-tkg fr5om the page I point you
You extract to wine-staging-tkg folder
create a 32 prefix with this executable
env WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/home/<username>/.wine-tkg-test-32 <path to the wine-staging-tkg folder>/bin/wineboot -u
now run your portable 32 installation with this prefix and the wine downloaded
env WINEPREFIX=/home/<username>/.wine-tkg-test-32 <path to the wine-staging-tkg folder>/bin/wine start /unix <path to foobar2000 32 exe>
Tried to test different scenarios, maybe will would find where is the problem
The dynamic is always the same.
The portable installations (32 and 64) can be reused with different wine prefix and executables.
Once you have one combination that work making a desktop file to run it and you will be ready to rock
If find any problem feel free to ask.
It must work, I have had an Arch install until the release of ubuntu 25.04 working great.
