foo_drpc's Issues

Not a valid Win32 application.

When installing "foo_drpc.dll" into /components with "discord-rpc.dll" and "send-presence.exe" into /foobar2000, foobar2000 tells me:

Failed to load DLL: foo_drpc.dll
Reason: Not a valid Win32 application.

foobar2000 v1.3.16

Update:
I had to use the win32-dynamic\bin even though I'm on a 64 bit install. Working well now!

Delay/Wrong song name when manually selecting tracks?

Neat plugin, I'm really digging it. Just a couple small things I notice is there seems to be a delay sometimes from when Discord shows it from paused and listening status on a track. Also, whenever I am playing a song and manually select another song, or skip a couple tracks, it will sorta get stuck on a previous track that isn't the current one until I go in and fiddle with it by stopping the song, and replaying it.

Icon Quality Improvement

Hey! Really enjoy the plugin. Thanks for your time and effort. It looks great, but in my opinion could be improved visually. The material outline play/pause buttons look much better at 18dp/dark:

https://material.io/icons/#ic_play_circle_outline

And the 2014 logo from Wikipedia looks great as well:

Song metadata delayed after skipping.

First of all, I want to let you know that this is the best thing I've found in a while, and thank you for making it :)

Now on to the "bug"

• Turn on everything, song data are appearing as normal.
• After listening to like a minute or two, I skipped to the next song.
• The next song is played, but the metadata got stuck on the skipped song.
• I finished or skip another song, the metadata changed to the previous song.

For example, if I'm listening to song A, then I skipped to song B, the displayed song is still song A, then after I skip or song B ends, song C play but song B get displayed. This continues until I stopped, then the metadata is corrected.

Some information:

• foo_drpc v 0.3
• foobar2000 v 1.3.16, and I'm playing in shuffle (tracks) mode
• Discord latest build (idk where to check for its version, but the changelog show Mar 7)

Feel free to let me know if you need additional logs, files, or if I'm messing something up :)

Still, thank you for the work, it still works fine when I'm not skipping songs XD

P.S : I did check back, and this lasted throughout the songs (2-3 mins songs)

newest foobar version doesn't recognize the plugin anymore

ive tried downloading all 3 versions all get the same error

Says "Playing Game" instead of "Listening To"

Says "Playing a Game" when it could say "Listening to Music" or something like that. Example of what I mean here: Spotify vs foobar

As a smaller detail, the Discord sidebar says "Playing foobar2000" but with Spotify it shows "Listening to Spotify." I'm not sure if this is something you can actually change, but it'd be neat.

Windows 8.1 not working

Wait what? It works on Windows 10, but on Windows 8.1 it isn't working. 🤔

rip 😢

Artwork/cover showing in discord(?) + title format

is it possible to make so the foo_drpc component show the artwork/cover? (if the file ur playing have it)
instead of foobar2000 logo in discord?

maybe a option to turn that off and on for people that wants it in components preference.
(idunno if u want to do it, sound like alot of work to do. but would be a nice option to have)

if u dont want to do the thing above, is it possible to make so we can change how the songs are being showed atleast? (i dont like how it shows artist-title, i like it like "title" by artist)
if we could add our own title format script it would be nice. since i like using this:

$if($and(%artist%,%title%), "%title%" By %artist% )
$if($and(%title%,$not(%artist%)), %title% )

(and some may like to use their own)

stopped updating status to discord

running foobar2000 v1.4 (latest stable at the point of writing) with only a skin and this plugin and it has stopped updating the discord rich presence api about what im listening to, its actually not even turning off the "playing foobar2000" status when i exit foobar anymore either

Edge Case Where Foobar's Presence Never Disappears

If you close foobar2000 before setting a song, it will remain in that initialized presence even if you close foobar2000, but if a song is set and you close, it acts as normal.

Rich Presence doesn't update when loading foobar's playback state

First of all, thank you for this useful little utility.

The problem here is is that this tool will not update what track you're playing as long as the option "Save playback state when closing foobar2000 and resume on next startup" is enabled within foobar. (Preferences > Playback > Other).
It'll fix itself when you fully stop and start playback again.

Listening status

Hey,

First of all great job!

So, yo'll change from "playing" to "listening" status? (type 3 iirc)

Another thing, any way to change "foobar_drpc" to the actual song?

Cheers!
