Scientific Discussion / Re: AudioWorklet-based multichannel peakmeter visualization
Last post by TF3RDL -
I have updated this project to complete this interactive mockup of Loudness Peakmeter 2.0.0.0/2.x.x.x foobar2000 component in terms of averaging and peak decay:
  • NEW: Smoothing modes for main peakmeter and correlogram, which is described below:
    • Linear (peak): Simple linear peak decay (actually exponential when viewed in linear and even nth root amplitude scaling) and toggling between peak and average mode has no effect on it
    • Exponential (linear): Exponential averaging
    • RMS (squared): Same as before but emphasizes peaks as it is calculated in squared domain
    • Geometric (logarithmic): Exponential smoothing calculated in logarithmic amplitude (dB) scale
  • NEW: Alternating color mode for peakmeter where Mid/Side part has different color than the main Left/Right one only in case of displaying both L/R and M/S simultaneously, which can look like this:
    X
  • FIX: The main peakmeter and phase correlation/stereo balance bar sometimes disappear when "Freeze analyzer" is enabled while "anti-flicker" mode is enabled

foobar2000 mobile / Foobar2000 mobile to play external USB files on Android phone
Last post by travellinmike -
Hi, new member and didn't see anything related to my question after a half dozen or so searches. 

Can the Foobar2000 Mobile app read a dual type USB flash drive (normal USB and USB-C) and play the files on an Android phone?  The thumb drive would be connected to the phone via the USB-C charging port.
I currently have a regular flash drive (normal full size USB) with hours of MP3, MP4, WAV, FLAC files that I can easily plug into my TV's USB port and use it as an "input source".  Before I buy a dual type memory and copy the files to it (for similar USB file sourcing with my phone) I'd like to know...  Will Foobar2000 Mobile app be able to read/play the usb connected files or do files need to be physically loaded onto the phone?  Secondly... Will my folder hierarchy be navigable (mostly 3 and a few 4 folder levels deep) or will everything need to be at the root level?  Obviously all at the root is not preferred and I would use several smaller thumb drives instead to avoid endless scrolling to find the song I want. 

thanks for any advice so I can avoid skipping YouTube ads between every song.

Do you get a glitchless playback with something else? I tried ffplay, it glitches pretty much constantly. I played with VLC and foobar2000 simultaneously, both players glitch every now and then but not at the exact same time.

Good idea. Let me test...

Firefox 138.0.3~1.5Mbpsno stutter during 5min test
Chrome 136.0.7103.114~1.5Mbpsno stutter during 5min test
Brave 1.78.97~1.6Mbpsno stutter during 5min test
Edge 136.0.3240.76~1.4Mbpsno stutter during 5min test
Foobar 2.24.4 x64~1.6Mbpsoccasional stutter during 5 min test
.
^ all of the above done standalone/independently.
^^ maybe need longer monitoring of the browser test..

Yes, the font works in other programs (e.g. MS Word, Notepad).

The name of the font: AsobiMemogaki

This is a screenshot of the font in Notepad. The characters are normal in the sample.

For foobar2000:
X
The characters rotated 90 degrees in the sample.

This is the good one, normal characters in the sample.

I just found the solution myself... I need to choose the font name without the "@" symbol. Dunno what the reasoning is but it works now!
X

EDIT: I immediately googled it and found that the font name with "@" means vertically-oriented font. Now it explains everything.
