foo_run 0.3.7, run external applications from foobar2000 Options

[Bryter]

Also, what about youtube? I found one here that searches for artists in youtube, but none for artist+song.

[tpijag]

What have you tried?

The example you were given:

http://what.cd/artist.php?artistname=$replace(%artist%, ,+)

You have found an example for youtube. Try adding the song title to the replace string.
For example:
%artist%+%title%, ,+

I have made a foo_run command to open Files with the VLC player.
Works fine, the only problem is, when I open another file, VLC always opens a new player instance.

Is there a command which adds file to the VLC playlist, instead of open a new player? Perfect would be add+play.


EDIT:
solved
I canged the setting in VLC to the following:

Tools > Preferences > Interface > Instances:
[yes] Allow only one instance
[no] Enqueue files when in one instance modus

great plugin thanks! if i could request one improvement.. it would be to have a nice default line seperator you could use between commands to tidy everything up.. at present i just use a load of dashes ---------------- for this purpose!

heres a few scripts i use which might help others..

Thank you for foo_run. I got some help from Pone to run VLC to preview a track on headphones. I can see plenty of other uses for it too.

Hi,

I'm trying to use fun_run to control some popup panels.

My service is

CODE

foobar2000.exe /command:"Hide All Panels" /command:"Hide" /command:"Mini"

If I open up foobar and don't first left-click on an item in a playlist, the above won't work.
If I open up foobar, click on a playlist item and then try the service, it works: all the panels are hidden, as is the main foobar window, and then my panel called "Mini" appears.
If I open up foobar and don't left-click on a playlist item, run my service (nothing happens), then click on a playlist item and run my service again, the command:"Mini" has a different result: it pops up the panel configuration dialog for the Mini panel.

Why does this happen?

Is there any way to explicitly use the full menu path of the action such as /command:"View/Popup Panels/Show/Mini" ??? That doesn't do anything, even though it's the full path to the action I want to perform.

Never mind. I combined foo_run with foo_runcmd and it does exactly what I want/expect:

CODE

foobar2000.exe /runcmd="View/Popup Panels/Hide All Panels" /runcmd="View/Hide" /runcmd="View/Popup Panels/Show/Mini"

Nope, I was too quick to mark that as resolved. I guess since the actions I want to assign to a keyboard shortcut are only available in the [context] submenus, I must have a playlist item selected to use them.

Gotta find a way around this.

[derty2]

dyermaker @ Post #408, what is "C:\Program Files\Spectro\Spectro.exe" ? Do you have a home page address so I can evaluate the program. Thanks.

Thankyou tpijag, you hit the nail on the head +++

Here is my (verbose) title formatting code for running a Google search using 'foo_run' (and my default browser).

Basically speaking, my approach to finding more info on Google is to create a very long string of words and let Google do its job; Im not particular about trying to filter down the results by adding specific domain names.

Before you view the code further down, here is a sample selected item from my fb2k Playlist Viewer;
this shows you how I always tag my files; especially note the 'Comment' tag

CODE

   ========================================================================================

   TRACK NUM:        01.
   TRACK NAME:       Allegro non troppo
                    

   ARTIST:          Henryk Szeryng . Hendl, Orch Chicago
   ALBUM ARTIST:    
   ALBUM:           LALO: Symphonie Espagnole
   DATE:            1961
   GENRE:           Classical

[pone]

does anybody know the command lines for native insturments traktor?
i would like to send file from foobar to the preview player of traktor.

[marc2003]

well the standard convention for opening files in windows is....

CODE

"path\to\app.exe" "path\to\file.ext"

you could try running traktor from the command line (traktor /?) or check it's documentation to see if there are any further arguments you can pass on the command line.

[pone]

that's how far i get. but i need further arguments to tell traktor what to do whith the files i send to it.
the problem is i can't find any documentation which present command lines for interaction of traktor and other software.
part of the problem might be that i don't really know for what to search. do such command lines exist for every software?

[marc2003]

not all programs support command line arguments but there's a high probability that if it does, running it with /? will give some help.

[pone]

thanks for your help. unfortunatelly i'm not so familiar with command lines.

where do i have to use "/?" ? at Command Prompt?
i've tested there several command combinations, but without success. these are the lines i've tested:

"C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Traktor 2\Traktor.exe" /?
"C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Traktor 2\Traktor.exe" help /?
help "C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Traktor 2\Traktor.exe"
help "C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\Traktor 2\Traktor.exe" /?

can you tell me what i'm doing wrong?

at Command Promt, there is always C:\Users\My Username> at the begin of the line. do I have to delete this? how?

Is it possible to create .txt files with this? I'm using it with foo_uie_lyrics2 and if I need to enter lyrics manually I want it to create and open a .txt file named %artist% - %title%.txt in a defined location.

[tpijag]

I use a single directory to hold all lyrics. The following works for me.

"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe" "C:\Program Files\foobar2000\DeadWords\ %artist% - %Title%.txt"

Editor pops up a dialog that file does not exist and creates it.

[Glarg]

That's actually even better than what I wanted. This way I can either edit existing lyrics or paste new lyrics. Thanks.
