That would be nice.

I'm new to this component. I cannot figure out a way to stop the playlist from populating every time I click an artist in one of the browser panels. Rather I'd like for it to populate when I double click an artist. Is this even possible? If not the option to do so should be implemented, please!

Is anyone using foo_browser on Vista RC2 successfully? I've setup my design partly on XP/Vista, but while setup with no problems on XP, it's totally unusable in Vista. I get "Bad Allocation" on almost every action I take. Often i'm unable to start fb2k - Only deleting my database.fpl file could make it start up again.

Edit: I think the problems are somewhat related to foo_playlists_dropdown (I've had my issues with this one on XP too). But I wonder why the problems remain after removal of the plugin, and things aren't back to normal before the Media Library has been deleted and rebuild.

Final edit: Columns UI author has announced that Vista causes random crashes with fb2k. However to my experience, foo_albumlist (same author) is causing the most instability
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

I am using foo_browser and love it!

I have one question. I can click an artist, and the album browser is refined. I can click an album and the playlist is refined. That is great.

I would really like to be able to doubleclick either the artist, or the album and for the 'play button' to be activited. Is there any way to do this?

Yes, there's an option for setting the double-click's function in the preferences. If it isn't there, then you need an additional component which I forget the name of. On the other hand I've had mixed results from trying to do it, so it may not be faultless (I can't check because I'm not at home)

Yup, double-click function list doesn't include 'Play'.

So here's my vote/request for that

I think this relies on the functionality of foo_utils to work, and it should appear under "Edit/Send to Current Playlist and Play"

File> Preferences> Media Library> Browser

  • Automatically Activate


    Have you tried (un)checking this box?


Thanks very much, solved.  I saw SOOOOO SICK of hearing track 1 of "Adrian belew" every time i opened a file


LOL

I had that happen as well and I swear the first song of whatever it was, was the most annoying song EVER.


It was working for me before, but now its still repopulating everything and not leaving off on the song that I left it at!

Hmmm.. under foo_utils there is "send to playlist..." but that invokes a new window asking for the target playlist, when I select one it still doesn't play.

All I want is simple 'play'  the playlists are already acting perfectly

I love the plugin, but when it sorts the playlist, it does so by track title.  I dont really get the sort dialogue in the prefs menu.

Has this been recompiled to work with Vista?
And does anyone have a way to sort the Artists to just ignore 'The' but still allow it to display the Artist as 'The ___'?

It hasn't.

use
Code: [Select]
$replace(%artist%,The ,)


(in your sorting field)

Hmm..alright well thanks for the Sorting code, guess I'll have to use Playlist Tree for now because foo_browser really doesnt like Vista.

I think it's a question of time. I am sure the develloper will compile this plugin so that it will work in Vista. 

Oh maybe not

I no longer use foo_browser, and as such no longer actively develop this plugin. If you are a developer and would like to take over this component, please email me.

Thank you cwbowron! I love this plugin (maybe because I secretly love iTunes?).

Hi and sorry if this has been discussed.

Is it possible to display a multi-artist tag like "artist1 vs. artist2" in both a1 and a2 menus instead of its own?

I don't know that it is directly, but there is a script built in to foobar2000's tagging system that splits "artist" tags into several ones (e.g. if there's an "and", or a "," or a few other sets of characters it will become two tags at that point.) This then sorts correctly.
