fb.utils Utilities

ping()

Tests the bridge connection. Resolves to { pong: boolean } from test.ping.

const r = await fb.utils.ping(); // { pong: true }

echo(message)

Echoes a message through test.echo and resolves to { message: string }.

const { message } = await fb.utils.echo('Hello');

formatTitle(pattern, path?)

Evaluates a foobar2000 Title Formatting expression through titleformat.eval.

Parameter	Type	Description
pattern	string	Title Formatting pattern
path	string	Optional track path; omission evaluates against the current track

The SDK preserves the host response envelope { result: string }; it does not unwrap the string.

const { result } = await fb.utils.formatTitle('%artist% - %title%');
console.log(result); // "The Beatles - Let It Be"

// Evaluate against a specific track
const r2 = await fb.utils.formatTitle('%codec% %bitrate%kbps', 'E:\\\\Music\\\\song.flac');

getFileInfo(path)

Reads file metadata through metadata.read and returns its structured response.

Parameter	Type	Description
path	string	Audio file path

const info = await fb.utils.getFileInfo('E:\\\\Music\\\\song.flac');
// {success, path, tags: {TITLE, ARTIST, ...}, info: {duration, bitrate, sampleRate, channels, codec}}
