v2.2.0 - Similar artists tagging

There may be a SMP's bug on installation. See wiki.
REQUIRES SMP 1.6.1 (mod version attached has some improvements by marc23)

See full changelog here.

2.2.0 - 2024-08-13

Added

• Similar artists: new entries to create a similar artists database in JSON equal to the one found at Search by Distance-SMP and tag files with the 10 most similar artists into 'SIMILAR ARTISTS LISTENBRAINZ' tag.
• YouTube: added support for 'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID' and 'MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID' tags if available for user recommendations.
• Tags: similar artist tags may now be remapped (globally) at '[FOOBAR_PROFILE]\js_data\presets\global\globTags.json'.

Changed

• User recommendations: changed the logic to just retrieve and use one of the 10 most similar users, instead of relying on an specific similarity threshold.
• Similar artists: in case less than 5 artists are retrieved, it will retry the lookup with a different algorithm which usually retrieves more results.
• UI: added a restore defaults option to every track recommendations entry.
• Helpers: updated helpers.

Removed

• User recommendations: there is only a single option now (since ListenBrainz API dropped the other algorithms).
• Similar users: there is only a single option now (since ListenBrainz API dropped the other algorithms).

Fixed

• UI: menu entries requiring a selection are now greyed out if there is no selection.
• API: updated with latest ListenBrainz API changes.

v2.0.0 - API update + Pano Scrobbler importer

There may be a SMP's bug on installation. See wiki.
REQUIRES SMP 1.6.1 (mod version attached has some improvements by marc23)

See full changelog here.

2.0.0 - 2024-07-24

Added

• Pano Scrobbler: new importing options for Pano Scrobbler local .jsonl files, which allows to save listens to a local file on the media device and upload them on demand. It also works for feedback (loved tracks). This may be used to track listens on DAPs and other media devices without internet connection or network problems (ListenBrainz syncing does not work on Android 7 and lower).
• Readmes: added readme for global settings found at 'foobar2000\js_data\presets\global' .json files.
• Configuration: expanded user configurable file at '[FOOBAR PROFILE FOLDER]\js_data\presets\global\globSettings.json' with a new setting for console logging to file. Disabled by default. Now this is a change from the previous behavior, where console was always logged to 'console.log' file at the [FOOBAR PROFILE FOLDER]. It can now be switched, but since it's probably not useful for most users is disabled by default.

Changed

• Remove Duplicates: improved performance of duplicates removal in multiple places.
• Configuration: changed the remove duplicates bias to prefer lossless tracks with 16 bits per sample, 44.1 Khz sample rate and greater %DYNAMIC RANGE% values.
• UI: menu entries renaming and reorganization.
• Helpers: json button files are now saved with Windows EOL for compatibility improvements with Windows text editors.
• Helpers: updated helpers.
• Improved compatibility when running foobar2000 on drives without recycle bin.

Removed

• Playlists: daily jams setting, since now it's always active in ListenBrainz. There is no need anymore to manually enable it.

Fixed

• API: updated with latest ListenBrainz API changes.
• UI: tooltip cut to 50 chars per tag line.
• Configuration: .json files at 'foobar2000\js_data\presets\global' not being saved with the calculated properties based on user values from other files.
• Fixed possible crash handling web request while closing foobar2000. See this, although current methods don't use 'WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1' but 'Microsoft.XMLHTTP' which hasn't given any problems yet.

v1.7.0 - Feedback improvements

There may be a SMP's bug on installation. See wiki.
REQUIRES SMP 1.6.1 (mod version attached has some improvements by marc23)

See full changelog here.

1.7.0 - 2023-03-21

Added

• Feedback: new query filter (independent to the other filter already available) to find matched tracks when looking for loved/hated tracks. It may be used to discard specific releases by tags (like live versions or remasters).
• Feedback: new setting to switch track matching by MBID only or also use ARTIST/TITLE tags.
• Configuration: expanded user configurable file at '[FOOBAR PROFILE FOLDER]\js_data\presets\global\globSettings.json' with a new setting for panel repaint debugging purpose. Disabled by default.

Changed

• UI: minor menu entries renaming.
• UI: improved panel repaint routines to minimize resources usage.

Removed

v1.6.0 - Playlists integration

There may be a SMP's bug on installation. See wiki.
REQUIRES SMP 1.6.1 (mod version attached has some improvements by marc23)

See full changelog here.

1.6.0 - 2023-02-28

Added

• Playlists: playlists created by the user (in addition to recommendations) can now be imported. They are listed by name and can be sorted by name, creation or last modified date.
• Playlists: playlist exporting to user profile. Note this exporting option is different to the one found at Playlist-Manager-SMP in one thing, the MBID is not saved anywhere (contrary to saving it on a playlist file), so there is no playlist tracking at all and exporting the same playlists multiple times will only update the playlist on the server (instead of creating a new one) as long as the playlist names are strictly equal.
• Playlists: playlist importing by MBID. This allows to import any playlist from any user, not just your own. Input allows the MBID or the link (which also contains the MBID).
• Configuration: added COMPOSER to the list of global tags.
• Configuration: added LOCALE LAST.FM to the list of global tags.
• Configuration: added integrity checks to global user settings files, found at '[FOOBAR PROFILE FOLDER]\js_data\presets\global[...].json'. In particular queries are now check to ensure they are valid and will throw a popup at init otherwise. Other settings are check to ensure they contain valid values too.
• Configuration: expanded user configurable file at '[FOOBAR PROFILE FOLDER]\js_data\presets\global\globSettings.json' with a new setting to output to console profiling logs at script init. They work globally. Disabled by default.
• Toolbar: new settings for text (or icon) position: left, right (default), top and bottom. These settings mimic CUI options at the buttons bar.
• Toolbar: new settings for text scale (now independent of button and icon scale).
• Toolbar: new settings for icon scale (now independent of button and text scale).

Changed

• Configuration: changed the remove duplicates bias to prefer tracks with higher play-counts and positive feedback tag (love/hate).
• Helpers: updated helpers.
• Console: improved log file formatting on windows text editors which parse new lines only with CR+LF instead of LF.
• Code cleanup.

Removed

Fixed

• Playlist Recommendations: importing playlists did not retrieve all possible Youtube tracks in some cases.
• Track Recommendations: not retrieving any result due to API changes.
• Toolbar: buttons' size not restored back to normal height after disabling 'Full size buttons' without reloading the panel.
• Helpers: added missing helper.
• UI: wrong parsing of png masks on unix systems (currently, it only affected the ListenBrainz icon when changing the font color).
• Minor fixes.

• Buttons bar: added custom offset for buttons along X/Y axis.

This setting will never be exposed within foobar, only at this file.

Changed
