@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

Get rid of the silly unarchiver dep, use 7z 7z x foobar2000_v1.3.13.exe -x'!$PLUGINSDIR' -x'!$R0'

Same problem. Foobar uses NSIS packager by old Pawłowski's colleagues. Looks like its format has been changed recently, so many unpacking tools were broken with it. http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?p=3068165 You can fix it manually for now. After the installation, move back the misplaced files: sudo mv /usr/share/foobar2000/''$'\003''肕'/* /usr/share/foobar2000/ It worked for me.

Hi, I've upgraded yesterday and foobar2000 is broken. It seems to be links that are broken, they include weird characters like 肕 (for example : /usr/share/foobar2000/肕/avcodec-fb2k-57.dll) I've tried to desinstall, reinstall (with yaourt), reinstall manually with the snapshot, download source and install by myself (with your PKGBUILD), nothing works. If I double click on /home/romain/.foobar2000/%03肕/foobar2000.exe, it says "name not valid". Any idea ? edit : I've installed a previous version (1.3.10) from dropbox and it's OK. I think my problem comes from the way it's downloaded from foobar's website and paths are constructed. edit2 : Same problem on my laptop

@doskoi thanks for the hint!

@doskoi the DLAGENTS method is great to know, thanks.

You can bypass the dynamic download link with the DLAGENTS variable: makedepends=('wget') source=("foobar2000_v$pkgver.exe::https://www.foobar2000.org/download") DLAGENTS=('https::/usr/bin/wget -nH --cut-dirs=3 -r -l 2 -A exe %u')

This downloads from dropbox because the foobar2000.org generates a dynamic download link.
