foobarControl (foobar2000 miniplayer), [General is not for 3rd-party releases] Options

[exzez]

hi there,
i dont know if something similar exist so i made a small foobar2000 miniplayer which displays current track information and provides standard controls (play, pause, next track...) as well.
the miniplayer stays always on top so you can do whatever you want without bringing foobar in front or handle with hotkeys.

here some pictures:




Instructions!

# make a backup from your foobar2000 settings
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000

1. open foobar2000 and go to "file -> preferences" (or hit ctrl+p)

2. go to "default user interface"

3. under "playback state display formatting - window title"
write this: "$if(%ispaused%,*paused* ,)[%artist%] - [%title%]" (without the quotation marks)

4. under "playback state display formatting - status bar"
write this: "%album% | %codec% | %bitrate% kbps | %samplerate% Hz | %channels% | %playback_time%[ / %length%]" (without the quotation marks)



5. next go to "keyboard shortcuts"

6. add following shortcuts:

key: alt+c | global: no | action: playback next
key: alt+x | global: no | action: playback previous
key: alt+v | global: no | action: playback random
key: alt+y | global: no | action: playback pause
key: alt+arrow key down | global: no | action: playback volume down
key: alt+arrow key up | global: no | action: playback volume up
key: alt+arrow key left | global: no | action: playback back by 10 seconds
key: alt+arrow key right | global: no | action: playback ahead by 10 seconds



Done! foobarControl should work properly.

foobarControl saves his windows position automatically on exit.

Script made with AutoHotkey.

Awesome?

I was just looking for exactly this. Either the timing is perfect, or there is something similar existing. Can't deny the latter sounds more probable.

Seems to be a bit of a hazzle to get it running, eh? I'm too lazy for all those steps. Isn't all that a job for the extension itself?

Looking forward to hear from you!
