Georgia-Reborn v3.0-x64-DEV

[kkrebsjr]

LibraryMode setting does not persist across restarts. Library always opens in Tree view.

Expected behavior:
Library should open in albumGrid when set in:
Options → Library → Mode

Confirmed observations:

• fb2k x64 Portable install
• georgia-reborn-config.jsonc contains:
• "libraryMode": "albumGrid"
• Settings persist correctly in v3.0 RC3 (32-bit)
• Does not persist in v3.0-x64-DEV
• Changing default fallback values in:
• gr-settings.js
• gr-config-defaults.js
• has no effect
• Behavior reproducible after restart
• Appears config loads correctly but UI state restores Tree afterward

Hi @kkrebsjr,

it is working as expected, not sure what you issue is. You seem to have edited some script files?
I would advise you to make a new portable foobar2000 x64 installation for testing, and use the original files and config
from the master.zip here:
https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Another possibility, you are constantly changing between Library's normal and full layout with Library presets enabled?
If so, it will always use the Library preset settings and when changing the Library's normal and full layout, it will switch between tree view in normal layout and album art grid in full layout. On next startup, the last view will be used.

If you do not like this behavior, you can deactivate the Library layout presets:
Top Menu > Options > Library > Layout > Use full layout preset ( disable )
Top Menu > Options > Library > Layout > Use split preset ( disable )

-TT, Your suggestion resolved my issue-Thank you for your help! Regards, Ken

Biography Panel Failing on All Sources — x64-DEV Build

I am running a portable installation of foobar2000 v2.26 preview (2026-03-27) x64 with Georgia-ReBORN v3.0-x64-DEV, and the Biography panel is failing to fetch content from all three sources — last.fm, AllMusic, and Wikipedia. The console shows repeated "not found" errors across all sources, along with XHR.send error: Error {} and HTTP status errors 406 and 404 on last.fm requests. For comparison, I have two working portable installations running foobar2000 v2.25.8 with Georgia-ReBORN v3.0-RC3, where Biography functions correctly on the same machine, same network, and same music library. The key structural difference identified between the working and non-working builds is the Spider Monkey Panel version — the working RC3 installs use SMP v1.6.1-mod while the x64-DEV install uses SMP v1.7.26.1.16. All Biography server settings and source configurations appear identical between the installs. Please advise whether this is a known XHR behavior change in SMP v1.7.x and whether a fix is planned.

The new download method in the Biography works for me and for other users.
Sometimes there are server issues on last.fm, I guess they restricted the traffic. You can try again later.

If you want to use the old fetching method, you can deselect these:
Top Menu > Options > Biography > Network > All music, last.fm, Wikipedia ( uncheck to use old method ).

-TT, Thanks for the quick reply. I followed your method for the old fetching method (Top Menu > Options > Biography > Network > All music, last.fm, Wikipedia), but none of the checkmarks would clear. Is there an additional step that needs to be done in order to be able to deselect each of the items? Thanks! Ken

Oops, you are right, there is a bug in the main menu for these 3 settings.
If you want the fix right now, just open the gr-menu.js and search and replace it with this:

		// * NETWORK * //
		const biographyNetworkMenu = new Menu('Network');
		if (utils.HTTPRequestAsync) {
			biographyNetworkMenu.addToggleItem(`AllMusic     ${bioSet.useUtilsAllmusic ? '(New download method)' : '(Old download method)'}`, bioSet, 'useUtilsAllmusic', () => {
				window.NotifyOthers('bio_property', [['useUtilsAllmusic', bioSet.useUtilsAllmusic]]);
			});
			biographyNetworkMenu.addToggleItem(`last.fm        ${bioSet.useUtilsLastfm ? '(New download method)' : '(Old download method)'}`, bioSet, 'useUtilsLastfm', () => {
				window.NotifyOthers('bio_property', [['useUtilsLastfm', bioSet.useUtilsLastfm]]);
			});
			biographyNetworkMenu.addToggleItem(`Wikipedia   ${bioSet.useUtilsWiki ? '(New download method)' : '(Old download method)'}`, bioSet, 'useUtilsWiki', () => {
				window.NotifyOthers('bio_property', [['useUtilsWiki', bioSet.useUtilsWiki]]);
			});
		}

Or you can go to Biography panel directly and right-click for context-menu > Network.

-TT,

Following up on issue #261, I have identified two bugs in the x64-DEV build. First, the Network download method settings (AllMusic, last.fm, Wikipedia) do not persist between sessions, reverting to New download method on every restart despite being manually set to Old download method. Second, the Biography panel does not recognize the inverted artist name format (e.g., "Beatles, The") when querying AllMusic and Wikipedia — a direct comparison test using identical albums tagged as "The Beatles" vs "Beatles, The" confirmed that only the non-inverted format returns biographical data. Note: further testing revealed this second issue is present in the RC3 32-bit builds as well, so it may be a pre-existing limitation rather than a regression.

Both issues are absent in the RC3 32-bit builds running on the same machine.
