@aliu if you try to download the exe file directly in the sources array the download site returns you an HTML page not the actual executable so we need to do this workaround

all: I have updated this package to use the 64bit executable on 64bit systems now that the upstream 7zip package is able to extract it. If you have problems please report them and I'll rollback to the 32bit executable even on 64bit systems until we can find a fix

@phonemic Well, I can't say for sure as it's pretty subjective, but I can't hear any difference when playing the same lossless files using foobar2000 vs. any other music player on my system. They do sound kinda compressed though — in my case regardless of the program; but if there's any issue here, it's not related to foobar specifically.

@AlexanderGedz Thanks! That fixed the error. However, the audio is bad quality compared to other players (mpv, vlc, etc.) It sounds highly compressed with digital artifacts. That your experience? My files are all lossless.

@phonemic I had the same issue and managed to fix it by following the instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine#Sound.

In my case, installing the pipewire-pulse and lib32-libpulse packages resolved the problem. After installation, I restarted the PipeWire services:

systemctl --user restart pipewire
systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse

...and skipping tracks started working correctly.

Getting an error when I skip tracks without explicitly stopping the previous one. Any suggestions?

Needs updating of Version number and sha sum

for others change version to 2.1.6 and change first SHA to cf4a67c8d5731a2328eb4a81de40ead108f9dec585d5278df98563cd3653254d

@myself601 DeaDBeeF's plugin ecosystem is nowhere as big. There’s no Coverflow plugin. And there was a lyrics plugin, forked after an earlier plugin stopped development. However, the developer quit after decreasing passion coincided with the DeadBeeF developer removing the already finished Russian translation in the wake of the Russian war for whatever reason. Needless to say, I am not comfortable with it both feature-wise and ethics-wise.

Tip: There's a free software equivalent for foobar2000 on GNU/Linux called DeaDBeeF.

For anyone wanting to use the 64 bit version of foobar2000 with bottles. set the windows version to windows 7 and it will not crash. Thats if you don't want to use the fix provided for the checksum and build locally.

My PKGBUILD has the correct sum from RedSnt, and still wouldn't build.

Now it appears it's downloading foobar2000_v2.1.2.exe, which has a sha256 checksum of 2d745bde8e594d5c3e7875893265ad42b80c13e5f1d1b6012c8a5977642f0f48 ... so, replace the first checksum with this value, change the pkgver to 2.1.2, and build locally.

Good luck!

Please consider fixing the sums. I'm sure many ppl can fix this for themselves, but at the same time having an AUR package like this that needs user intervention is kind of moot, since it's just easy to run Foobar with an older version of Wine in a Bottle..
