Allows you to skip tracks that match a specified search query. By default the component will skip all files with RATING set to 1. The query is configured in Preferences -> Tools -> Skip Track.

Starting from version 1.5 time expressions are supported. For example to skip all bad or recently played files you can use the following query: %rating% IS 1 OR %last_played% DURING LAST 8 HOURS

Skip query also offers $rand() field to generate random number from 0 to 2^32-1. %playlist_name% returns the name of the playlist where the current file is played from. And %playback_order% returns the playback order name.

The component also offers functionality to skip only parts of a track. To utilize the partial skipping set a tag field SKIP with timecodes that you want skipped. For example SKIP=0:00:00-0:01:25 (or simply SKIP=-0:01:25) to skip the first 85 seconds.

• Removed restriction where manual bookmarking was only allowed for local file paths.
• DSP is no longer forcefully activated unless the component is enabled.
• Removed some support code for foobar2000 versions older than 1.5 as new SDK isn't compatible with those versions anyway.
• Repeat skip detection improved, status is now reset when playing a track that isn't skipped.
