I was not totally happy with my layout. Things were a bit clutered and hard to read in places. Therefore, I adjusted my layout a bit and now I think things are much cleaner.

noalbum.png - purty no album art image.


@tool++

I'm probably stupid, but I try to reacreate your design to start from there. But I can't get the images to work, where does the link post to for your no cover image? ("images\noalbum.png")

is this -- foobar\images\noalbum.png -- or -- foobar\components\images\noalbum.pnh --

I'm a little confused, because I see no Images at all.

Constantly changing. The right side is a slightly tweaked clone of Mazy's design, though I intend to gradually tweak it more, until I can consider it my own. Also, there used to be a ProjectM panel at the bottom right but it started causing system crashes, so it's gone for now.

Hoaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

hey, nice config!

Can u share me your trackinfo code, buttons and your FCS??? Please!!!

Really Really thanks


Sure thing.

http://www.filefactory.com/file/e6a402/

It's changed slightly since I posted that image, new play/pause/stop images for example, I hope you don't mind. I'm also including a default.png for the albumart panel, in case you want it.

Sorry for the late reply, I've been away for a couple of days.

Where is the *.cfg file stored? I want to replace it with someone else's.

This has been discussed several times and it depends on how you installed foobar.

If you installed foobar with per-user settings enabled, the file will be in your %appdata% folder, probably
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\foobar2000

If you did not install with per-user settings enabled, the file will be in your main foobar folder, probably
C:\Program Files\foobar2000

Hi, this is my first post here, and first foobar to show, very minimalistic, but it's enough for me.
And yes, I know, it's depressing. But it doesn't give me epilepsy;)
- album art hidden
- album art shown.

How do you like it?

@ stewart gilray

To add(and clarify) to chiwou's advice, go grab foo_uie_single_column_playlist from the third party plugins, then you must go into your columns UI (layout tab) and add it as a panel (inset panel > playlist views > single column ui panel.

once you get the panel to appear, right click and you will find the spots to paste code.

(replied because I was once a newb at this, and still kinda am) smile.gif


Also, Can someone tell (remind) me what component that is in Chiwou's post at the top of the page that has the albums in one window, artists in another and genres in another? I feel stupid but I have been looking through the third party forum and wanted components list and I cant see it anywhere! I remeber having this a while ago, but I seem to have removed it.

oh, and I have same problem as Syrek, even with png2dib.dll in my foobar directory i still don't see any image on my trackinfo/single column playlist sad.gif

Whilst I'm at it @chiwou, are those images in your config? can you share them? And is the reason that I have the below problem due to not having these images?

I dunno why but the images arn't showing up. Not even the noalbum.png display. And ya I have the image and the folder name is correct smile.gif Oh and lemme know if that %directoryname% stuff should work. I have album art in every album folder, it's not all in one directory. Thanks man.

I have pnglib.dll, but according to some posts here I need png2lib.dll

I've had a look via google, and can't find it, is this correct? or just a typo?
Yotsuya
Snively:
the %directoryname% will not work because all images used with foo_uie_trackinfo_mod and foo_single_column_playlist must be defined relative to the foobar main directory. It does not work like foo_uie_albumart. Some people have reported limited success crawling up the directory structure with paths containing ..\.. but you'll have to get creative with $replace() and %path% if you want it to keep finding the directory your music sits in.

Stewart Gilray:
to add to the confusion, I have libpng13.dll :)

You can download the needed libs from musicmusic's component page.

Got them in the foobar folder already, only thing missing is that png2lib.dll which I can't find.
Yotsuya
I have no png2lib.dll anywhere on my system and I am able to display pngs in my playlist without a problem. What makes you think you need this file? Are you receiving an error message somewhere?

Sorry, after sifting through replies scattered above things have become more clear. Chiwou's instructions are a bit broken. After looking at tool's code I think you need to place the .png files in a folder called "images" which needs to be banched off of your main foobar directory.
C:\Program Files\foobar2000\images

You wll also need to make sure you have the above libpng files from musicmusic in your main foobar directory. Which you have just indicated that you do.

I've already posted this:

What's wrong with this?
snively
$imageabs(4,$add(25,$mul(-21,%tracknumber%)),'images\albums\'$left(%path%,$sub($len(%path%),$len(%filename_ext%)))folder.jpg',)

dunno if it works or not.. that code messes up the single columns playlist code that tool++ posted
Yotsuya
Idec Sdawkminn:

Use that same code in a trackinfo panel so you can see how it resolves the variables. I think you will find that your code resolves to a path not relative to the foobar main directory. $imageabs() requires paths to be relative to the foobar main directory. If you see a drive letter at the beginning of your path name it is not relative to the foobar main directory. (unless you somehow mount each drive under the foobar main directory as a subdirectory).

Etc?

I guess my album art pic, but that's designed for my wallpaper so there's no real point.

Here's the overlay thing that gives shit shineyness though:

I agree. Very slick, tool. The part the intrigues me most is how you have the album art showing next to each album. Good idea. I'd do that but I like the album art having a larger area so I can see it better.

Also, I prefer that none of the words be cut off due to limited space. I'd suggest that you make the panels on the left wider, but then I see that the same information is also in a header for each album, so I'd just as soon get rid of the info below the album art altogether. Besides, some albums have no info below it and some have at least 3 things. I do dislike inconsistencies.

And what if an album has fewer than 5 tracks? How does the album art fit into that?

Don't think I'm trying to tell you how it should look. I'm just saying what I would change if it was mine. And it's rare to find someone who likes my foobar setup...



Yeah don't get me wrong, I've thought of these problems and I'd love to solve all of them, but I can't actually think of plausible solutions. I'd like to have the text on the right wrapping, I'd like to have the column wider. I guess I could try the text next to the album rather than below, but that would mean the column is extremely wide, and this is a small layout.

If you have any ideas how I could fix these things though feel free.



I don't understand a word of that :-(

Why isn't a .fcs file relevant, is it not culumn_ui? I desperately want my Foobar to look like that but have no idea where to begin (where the hell do I paste the code you've given us? I can't see "Group by:" / "Group Display:" etc. anywhere).

I used to think I had a basic understanding of this stuff, but I guess not. Any help would be great, but a .zip of your foobar dir would suffice.

Thanks :-D

Getting a chunk of code to generate path to your music's folder, relative to the foobar main directory is a tricky business. Since I would also like to find a way to achieve albumart-like functionality here's a chunk of code I came up with. The code very much depends on your own directory structure and unless you play around with mounting, is restricted to your music being on the same drive as foobar.

For the sake of an example let us say your foobar resides in
C:\Program Files\foobar2000
and your music sits in various folders branched off of
C:\Music

To properly refer to C:\Music relative to C:\Program Files\foobar2000 we need to use ..\..\Music

So not only do we need to replace the music file's %filename_ext% with the name of the image file folder.png, we need to replace the C:\Music portion of the %path% with ..\..\Music.
CODE
$replace($replace(%path%,C:\Music,..\..\Music),%filename_ext%,folder.png)


This is clearly a hack and as I said depends on your own directory structure and has limitations. But I hope this example demonstrates how to properly reference your images. Hopefully future releases of trackinfomod and singlecolumnplaylist will eliminate the need for image paths to be relative to foobar. This is straying off topic and if you wish to continue the discussion I'd suggest we move it to the thread for either of these components.

I have no png2lib.dll anywhere on my system and I am able to display pngs in my playlist without a problem. What makes you think you need this file? Are you receiving an error message somewhere?

Sorry, after sifting through replies scattered above things have become more clear. Chiwou's instructions are a bit broken. After looking at tool's code I think you need to place the .png files in a folder called "images" which needs to be banched off of your main foobar directory.
C:\Program Files\foobar2000\images

You wll also need to make sure you have the above libpng files from musicmusic in your main foobar directory. Which you have just indicated that you do.


did all that from the start, update all of my components now and still no images :/

guess I'm not lucky afterall unsure.gif

Well, I've redone my foobar setup and this is what I have so far:



I'm not done yet. I still want to see what it's like with something along the top, but I don't know what to put there. I'll have to look around.

Yes, it certainly seems that way. Thank you :-)

EDIT: I got it working after much trouble, but how do I get those lovely cover art next to the play list? All my artwork is stored using the folder.jpg technique. Do I need another component? Anything else I am missing?

(I have used the foobar2000 from the first available versions, but never bothered to change the UI)

I persume you are using tool's code?
First of all your album art has to be *.png, since that is the only format foo_uie_single_etc can read. They also have to be the size you want to display them. foo_uie_single_youknowwhat also can't resize images.
And they have to be in a subdirectory of or in your your foobar2000 dir or at least on the same drive. Search tool's code for $imageabs function and look at the path to see where to put the converted and resized album art pictures.

yup. that's entirely possible. just use disk management. i've done that and it works. tongue.gif

edit: hopefully this screenshot will illustrate it. i've mounted my d:\ drive within the appdata\foobar folder....

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I will just continue to wait and hope the code and components are updated to suite my needs. I really have too many albums to start resizing and cataloguing them all again.

It does look beautiful, but how long will this method remain the 'standard'? I assume not too long.
