you have forgotten a "/" at the end of the path !!!

fix it and retry


hmm, still no luck.
i forgot it probably when i was transfering artist art to simplier path, but before then, i still had '/' thing at the end of the path, and it weren't work.
damn.


sorry, but this work here, take care of all again, can't say better, sorry...


i delete whole foobar, including app data from my documents, then installed on whole another disk, do everything as it's been said - AND IT WORKED!
woohoo

thanks for help man, and congrats on the best skin ever made for foobar


cool,  btw that was a weird issue you had.

Hello Brett, I'd like to recommend a few tweaks to Kameleon:

1. Change "disc" to "Disc," as in "disc 1/2," just to make it look nicer. It's easy enough to change on my own though, but some users might want this.
2. Consider changing the track title font from size 7 to 8. When viewing tracks with asian characters, size 7 font is too small to show the characters nicely, and when I changed it to 8, it looks fine.
3. Change the panels in the right panel to be square in size. As in your earlier configs, artist images were always shown as squares, and thus since Ibiza I've been saving the artists as square images. Now, to show them correctly I'd have to resave them all as rectangles. Otherwise, I just changed "nokeepaspect" to "keepaspect."
4. Is there a way to make Kameleon show the last playlist used? I could do this in Curacao, but when I open foobar with Kameleon, it goes to my default library playlist.
5. Can the very topmost panel bar (path info of track and google/audioscrobbler search buttons) be hidden? I don't use that stuff so much, so it would make more space on the screen for the playlist.

Thank you very much for your consideration! And again, awesome, awesome, AWESOME job on Kameleon. I love it.

anyway, i have another question, it isn't connected to some problem, just for info

when kameleon count track "as listened", in meaning of time that has to pass to count track as listened? before i use "kameleon", i used "foo smooth", and it count track as listened after one minute, when does kameleon count? if it's whole track, is there any option to change it? i have huge library, and i wan't to listen random tracks all the time, so i often don't listen to whole track, but to half of it, but then i wan't my track to be marked as "listened" after one minute or half track pass. is there any option to do so, because in my right panel, i use stat so i want to build my chart with fav songs i find out recently and i play it more often then tracks i play before.

i prefer keep it lower case.

huumm, i'll see, that right it is too small for asian chars.

3. Change the panels in the right panel to be square in size.

no, since Curacao, i only use landscape image for artists, it's quite better. Ibiza belong to past now

4. Is there a way to make Kameleon show the last playlist used? I could do this in Curacao, but when I open foobar with Kameleon, it goes to my default library playlist.


it does like all other skins , if not for you, it is due to foobar settings, not due to Kameleon... Check your settings in the foobar Prefs.

5. Can the very topmost panel bar (path info of track and google/audioscrobbler search buttons) be hidden? I don't use that stuff so much, so it would make more space on the screen for the playlist.


i will make this possible by using an Extended variable infoo_exvar in a next build. ok.

thanx for enjoying K

I believe that you can change when a track's playcount is updated through Play Count Mod (preferences > tools > play count mod). There's a slider bar called "counter update settings" that can be changed to reflect when a song is updated based on the percentage of track that's been played. I have mine set at 50%.

Hope this helps.

"Playback Statistics Custom" settings or "Play Counter" (the official playback stats plugin) settings. But do not use both, "Play Counter" store information in a database, and "Playback Statistics Custom" in the music file. Play counter do not work well when statistics tags are present in the music file.

1. for the scale problem in the CD case, please, show me a screenshot of your foo_exvar settings panel + an example of path where your cover is stored (and filename used), and send me the image cover used
==> WITHOUT ALL OF THAT, it's difficult to help because all work fine for me.

thanx by advance, you or another people that have this problem


2. viewing the Curacao tutorial page can help you, the way to always use the default wallpaper bg is discribed in a video

http://br3tt.free.fr/tutorials/C/index.htm ==> the second video ... for Kameleon, enter splitter settings (right click on the playlist header for example), select the panel named '-> Force Wallpaper', then UNCHECK 'hide panel on startup' option, if you have read more carefully my installations notes, i explain how to to that, not only for this panel/boolean option, but just generally, it is the same way to activate or not all panels/boolean that begin by '-> '


1. The problem with CD case can appear when default cover image is using (in case when I don`t have cover)
    You can see it at this screenshot http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/2627/cdcasebuggn8.jpg
    And this bug didn`t disappear until then I import .fcl again
    My foo_exvar settings panel is blank, because all cover images are store in the each album folder on hard drive and called "folder.jpg"
2. And about background image - I`ve seen a video before asking, just can`t find panel named "Force Wallpaper", because clicked on wrong place , sorry
    It`s Ok now, thank you

In that case, what is the ratio you're using for the artist images? Is it 4:3?

Thanks! It worked for me. I guess when I loaded Kameleon, it reset or something.

Just tried it: so far the bug did not occur any more, I restarted the player 10 times using different albums where the bug occured before. So for me, the problem seems to be fixed. When it occurs again I will report.

And thanks for switching to landscaped artist pictures. I was right for all the years

Hmm.. I tried you new .fcl - unfortunately, it doesn`t help  it appears rarely, meseems.
Some new details: the bug appears from time to time 50:50 and only when start-restart foobar - it means that bad scalling image shows just after start foobar, before playing music, and then it doesn`t disappear until foobar being restart. (some times needed a couple restarts or more)
...and then cover image is Ok after foobar start, it is Ok further, even I change covers many times, as opposed to first case

oh, me again.
i have another info question, this time connected with playlist queue viewer.

i download required component to show playlist queue list, but it seems he doesn't work with kameleon (it works fine on other skins), so in future, it would be nice to add this feature

Well, after import fcl and first restart, the bug appeared again, but then during the 20`s restarts I didn`t see its.
Let`s see that happens further, I`ll immediately tell you.
By the way, I use 0.9.5.6 version, and Windows Vista if it`s important of course...

Yes, I use the last version 0.3.6.2alfa of Panel Stack Splitter

how about installing the latest version of foobar2000, beta or stable and see if the bug still shows up? just an idea.

Kameleon by Br3tt

Reply #97
Br3tt, can you make a "sticker" like the mp3 and flac stickers for the cd cases you made in Graphics Browser, which will appear on multiple cds  with their number? for example: #1, #2 etc.. Do you like the idea? I have many multiple cd albums (with the same cover) and in graphics Browser they seem the same..

you have to define before the playlist to use for the Queue, have you done it ? (in the menu of the foobar Toolbars : Playback -> Playback Queue Viewer)
