Advanced Controls (foo_advancedcontrols), discussion thread for foo_advancedcontrol Options

[niver]

Hi all.

I just updated foo_advancedcontrols with the latest SDK.

I took the time to implement a function available in the Winamp version of this plugin but was missing in the Foobar2000 component - the Volume bar.

You can choose if you want the volume bar or the seeking bar to be shown on top of the control icons. You can assign a hotkey to switch between the volume and the seeking bar.

I also added a brand new function that may not completely fit in the Advanced Controls concept, but, well... why create a new component just for that? The function is an option to automatically pause the playback when entering screensaver mode. I find that very useful. Maybe that's not the case for everyone, so this option is disabled by default.

Thank you very much for this component!
Two problems:
1-the volume slider being reset to position slider after every foobar restart,no matter what i do
2-where should i put the skins files?

[niver]

1- This is fixed for the next release, thanks
2- The folder tree is available in the zip file. You will get something like
Foobar2000
-- components
-- -- foo_advancedcontrol.dll
-- -- AdvancedControls
-- -- -- BlueXP
-- -- -- -- [icon files]
-- -- -- SilverXP
-- -- -- -- [icon files]

I'm sorry you have issues with the component not saving the Slider setting, but this is a problem I can't reproduce. The slider setting is saved correctly on all my test machines.

Please make sure you are using the latest version of the component.

I'm sorry you have issues with the component not saving the Slider setting, but this is a problem I can't reproduce. The slider setting is saved correctly on all my test machines.

I am also having this problem. I tried removing my foobar2000.cfg file, but the problem persisted. I also tried removing foo_advancedcontrols.dll, starting Foobar2000, answering that I did not want my settings from the disabled component saved, then reinstalling the DLL.

I'd love to have the volume slider. That's the main reason I want the component. Is there anything I can do to help you track down this issue?

Oh, I forgot to mention, I am using the latest version of the component.

Since this component is a port of the equivalent Winamp plugin, it doesn't use yet the standard Foobar2000 way to store its parameters (foobar2000.cfg), it stores them in the registry. This will probably be changed later.

Try removing the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Niversoft\FooBar2000 Advanced Controls
from the registry
There should be a value named VolumeSlider in it (REG_DWORD). 1=volume, 0=seek.

I did additional tests while checking for the changes required to go to the standard foobar200 way to store config. I found out that we were both right about the volume slider config, I wasn't testing the right thing:

The volume slider config is saved. If you choose Volume slider, you close and reopen foobar then press play, the volume slider is shown.

However, both the config page and the submenu item does not display the current setting, they always display Seek slider. This is fixed in the upcoming release (the announcement will come later today or this week).

[niver]

v0.5.9.4 is now available.

Release notes:
- Fixed: Slider setting is not displayed correctly in the config page
- Settings are now saved in foobar2000.cfg instead of the registry. Previous version's settings are automatically imported then deleted from the registry.

I just noticed the delete-current-file-function. Fantastic!
AFAIK is this the only possibility to delete the playing song and jump to the next. Like the old massdelete-plugin for v8.x
I would love to see a standalone delete-current-file-plugin

Great Plugin. Thank You.

[Chaser]

I second this request. Thank you for your development!

Woooow. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

That was the only thing i missed. Now fb2k is perfect. This plugin is worth an own thread. I think there are some other guys who would like this.

Thanks again

Really like this component, thank you!

I've downloaded some of the extra icon skins listed under the foobar version of this component, but they want to have winamp installed and won't proceed. Any chance of having dedicated foobar versions of them?

You're right, I overlooked that.

Hi, I noticed that the version information in foobar2000 was corrupt in the 9 april dll.
