spex, you just keep gettin better and better, ill be eagerly awaiting this release like I did your last one... think that i might like this one a little bit better tho... the image for the group display on the last one was big, so my fooby lagged while scrolling through a ton of files (your old config)... anyway great work man .

also, what is that thing that is displaying the artist and title in the bottom right of your pic?

My panel backgrounds are set to 238/238/238. I was referring to the dividers inbetween the panels.. for example, if I stack three track info panels next to each other, there will be a thin line separating each one. How can I hide those divider lines? The edge styles for my panels are all set to "none".. not sure where else to look.

Regarding the albums - I've found a way to solve the 4 song issue, but there's another problem I'm seeing. Some albums aren't displaying the cover art at all.. not many, maybe 6 or 8 total out of the ~600 albums I currently have displayed in there.. but it's still bothering me. I don't see any inconsistencies.. the cover files are all named the same thing and are all in the proper locations; the problem isn't with the file itself because I've tried copying covers from albums that DO work into the directories that don't, and those still won't display. It's almost like certain directories just aren't getting scanned at all. Any idea why this would be happening?

THanks for the help so far.

Hi,

Bye


PS - Spex04, im trying your iTunes config, but im always gettin the Unknown Function Error, and images dont appear on both track info, i have the plugin needed but dunno whats wrong, if u could help would be great
Bye

Maybe I don't explain it well. You must go to windows display properties -> appearance -> advanced options, and see what's the colour of your 3D Objects. If the colour is 220-220-220, then the foobar panels must have this colour, not 238-238-238. You can't hide the borders, it's a ColumnsUI issue.

About the covers problems, can you send me the code you use to show them and tell me what's the name of the covers that you can't see? Maybe the code is not 100% correct.

Regards.

Nice!

Hey, could somebody tell me what the command for giving text in the track info mod and single column, the glow-like outline as can be seen e.g.

xhandler:

See this page, pay special attention to the "Font examples" chart.

Adjusting the panel colors to match the 3D Objects worked perfectly, thanks!

Here's the line of code that displays the cover -



My directory structure is X:\music\artist\album. All covers are named cover.jpg and are in the album folders.

Yotsuya: tyvm!

asmox:

Read this earlier post, this should add album art to the side of pretty much any singlecolumnplaylist configuration.

Thank you very much.. the previously missing covers now display

Can you share your new config please

..I really like that wallpaper.

Hmm... you sure you've got the latest trackinfo_mod panel?

Also, you'll need foo_cwb_hooks..



Yea, I found it thanks to tool++, anyway, you can find it here

Still playing around...

Btw how do you in a easy way apply some sort of ellipsize on %title% in the single column and in track info mod?

If you don't mind, please share your config...

For everyone who didn't notice:there is a config sharing thread in the uploads section,providing users with an easy way to share their configs with the rest of the foobar community.Share it here

Hi all i am a complete noob on foobar.
I want my foobar look like those beautiful ones here.
But i dont know which plugins i need.

For example
to show album art in playlist
the beautiful track info place
to load those images for skining
those stars to rate songs

which plugins do i need.

can someone write a list of necessery skinning plugins.
and some links i have to read to customize my foobar

Thanks

Appreciation.

If you want to achieve an advanced configuration fast, then check out the Configuration Distribution Thread Most set-ups posted provide a clear explanation of what components you need. This is a fast way to obtain an advanced configuration which is optimal for a new user. It also will allow you to poke around an advanced configuration which should really help you learn how to configure foobar.

Finally found the time to switch to ui_single_column_playlist



I had the hardest time filtering all of my differently named covera arts out of all the folders, renaming them and changing their size for the small previews... it was worth the time.

My group display looks like this:



Which gives a look like this:



As you can see in the group display, it's %artist% %album% (in the smaller font). This works great, however on really long artist and album titles, like "Agoraphobic Nosebleed - PCP Torpedo & ANbRX" the text is too wide for the single column playlist. Is there any way to make ellipses for "%artist% %album%" that is too wide to fit in the column? If not ellipses, is there a way to use $cut(x,y) that would encapsulate %artist% and %album%?

Thank you.

parameter:

This sort of question would be better asked in the foo_uie_single_column_playlist thread.

Have you considered scaling the fonts for longer titles, something like this:



However a more direct answer to your question would probably be something more like this:



* code not tested

@parameter:

Try Yotsuya code, but if you don't like to scaling the fonts, you can use an $alignabs function for each line. This is the easy way to cut the text. Example:

$alignabs(100,5,$add(%_width%,-107),30,left,top)
$font(tahoma,15,bold,200-200-200)
$if2(%album artist%,%artist%)
$alignabs(100,35,$add(%_width%,-107),20,left,top)
$font(tahoma,12,bold,200-200-200)%album%
$alignabs(100,55,$add(%_width%,-107),20,left,top)
$font(tahoma,12,bold,200-200-200)%date%

Play with the height of each $alignabs to show the text in one line.

That's what I want, but $left doesn't return the first 30 characters of %album%, it's returning the first 30 characters of everything inside the parenthesis of $left().

I don't think font scaling would work how I want it to. I have some very long album names, and even with a tiny font they still go onto the next line.

I'm trying without success to show the average bitrate of an album in the group section of playlist single column. It show me only the bitrate of the first track.
Anyone know if there is a way to show the average bitrate of the album (or the average bitrate of the selected tracks) as it appears in the properties tab, even with another plug-in?

Thank you

Theres an easy but workfully way
You could add a category to metadata and write album average bitrate to it. And than add the name of the metadata field
But as I say it is a lot of work and you can't show the average bitrate of the selected tracks.
I don't know another way because I am still new to titleformatting issues

My latest

I'm trying to add a useful bit of information to a Track_info_mod but I can't figure out how to write the code for it, so I was wondering if someone might want to try walking me through it a little.

Basically, the goal is to find a way to display an overall album rating that's derived from individual song playcount.

I already have code that gives me a rating from the playcount thanks to CepiPerez, but I can't even begin to think how to parse through the the whole album (that doesn't necessarily have a defined amount of tracks), read the rating using Cepi's method, add them together once they've all been parsed, and then divide that by the amount of tracks in the album.

My though was to use %tracknumber% and %album% to walk through each track in the album (for example, if the song that's being played is read as track 3, then you know that you can walk back 2 tracks to the beginning of the album) and to determine the rating for each track. I don't know if it's possible to create anything like an array using tagscript.

Does anyone know if something like this is at all feasible? I'd love to be able to do it, but it seems like a pretty steep order.

Can't do it. Can only read information from the currently playing/selected file. You can get information about the next song (when using default playing order) using cwb_hooks, but that won't do what you want it to do. And, I don't think cwb_hooks' next song variables work properly in the playlist anyway...

So cool!

((((( Strictly4me )))))

Hi guys.
My first config:

waw soo coollllllll can u share your config?

My new one:

"My" new



Thanks for the dude who made it (don't remember who it was)

If anyone knows whose config this is based off of, *please* tell me. I lost this config and would like it again. Whoever originally created it is a genius!



Thanks in advance,


Clint

Being a newbie, here is my first shot at foobar [still a work-in-progress].

Simple layout with new cwb hooks -> $if($strcmp($cwb_fileexists($replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)folder.jpg),1), . . . etc

uRT how do you remove statusbar at the bottom?

thx master urt :bow:

how do you get those tabs?

AlexanderTG Tabbed panel stack mod, does the trick

@shakey_snake

Very interesting layout!

@russel777

What does the panel mean where you can read "No sort" and "No Filter"? Did i miss some functionality?

It means that no sorting\filtering applied on the playlist,otherwise it indicates the soritng\filtering parameters.
Check out the trackinfo mod thread for details

what the name of VS ?

Ahh, now im pretty pleased with my styling of foobar

@ xhandler & shakey_snake: If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage the linear alignment of the album and track info? I mean, how did you manage to get the album to stack above the tracks?
