foo_misc_addons
current version: 0.1
I intended to code this for me to use only, it contains some utility functions that are from some other public available components that I found useful, but elaborate more.
the development is totally depending on my need, currently it has the “Show Now Playing (MSN)” and “Play Counter”.
Since a lot of people including myself found that the play counter update popup is so anonying, I’ve done a trick to make it totally invisible (but the reason the popup show is becasue of I/O operation takes too long, so even it is not visible, there will be an interrupt of playback). and better wildcard pattern matching support.
I improved the MSN one to make it change the now playing in msn if there’s dynamic track info available, and allows user to select the one of the three icons to display in msn. some people probably want it also.
btw, don’t ask me to split them into single component.

of course there is, check the play counter settings in the preference.

I’m having a problem with this one to. It doesn’t seem to update the tag when it’s done playing a song. Is there some setting I need to tweak or turn on, before it begins tagging?

hm.. I will fix it when I see it, so leave it for now as this takes a lot of time to test.

I wanna add that the way I use sometimes for my 2nd comment here is wrong as it rarely to happen. Only when I do IO intensive work like moving/copy large files in the background, doing something else foreground and listening to music at the same time then it’s likely to show up.

are you sure you are using 0.9.4.3 and misc_addons? I really doubt it.
I don’t see popup even with a playback interruption of 2 seconds (of an ape file, for mp3, it has no interrupt, and the visible display delay is almost none, not as the one you found on the HA board), and I’ve used the standard way to suppress the popup, not a hack.

mp3 and ogg. It’s random sometimes happens sometimes not. Especially with long IO operation the chance it showing up is higher. Well I’m satisfied with the way it is already but I think I should let you know as you said you found a way to suppress it once and for all.

Thanks for your continual work on foobar plugins and I have a problem to report.
The playcount updating pop up still happens on my computer in some rare cases. Vista, chipset and graphic 945G, Core2Duo, sound HD realtek everything latest. If you need more info just mail me or msg me on messenger.
