Spider Monkey Panel Script for foobar2000, built within a button. Automate foobar2000's output without having to select devices manually every time one is disconnected/connected. Wireless, headphone, and server devices auto-switch made easy.

Auto-device

Features

  • Export Device List: after connecting all devices desired to be used at some point, the list can be exported to be able to set them at a later point as prioritized devices (even if they are not connected).
  • 1-5 slots for prioritized devices: set the order in which the devices must be set as output. Device 1 would be used (if available) before Device 2 and so on...
  • Server friendly: some wireless devices pause playback when they are disconnected, thus requiring to manually start playback again even if the device has been changed (manually or automatically). The script checks if playback is paused after swapping devices and will continue it automatically in those cases for a seamless change between devices when you switch them off/on.
  • Bypass device errors: in case something goes wrong switching devices (for ex. ASIO initialization errors which are not uncommon), Foobar2000 usually stops playback. The script checks if playback is stopped after swapping devices and will continue it automatically at the cached playback time.
  • Automatic volume output: a volume output value can be associated to a device, thus setting Foobar2000's volume to your desired setting whenever it's conneceted to a device. For ex. to make sure Foobar2000 is at max volume whenever a blueetoth device is used.
  • Toolbar: the button can be loaded within a toolbar or as an independent button. It's fully compatible with my other scripts which also use a toolbar (see at bottom), so the button can be simply merged with your already existing toolbar panel easily.
