give you partly blank one b/c it's not the best quality of mpc.This only works with lossy codecs,all the lossless ones will give you a full bar b/c the sound quality isn't affected by bitrate in that case.
Supported formats:WMA,MP3,MUSEPACK,VORBIS,AAC and all the lossless ones.

Comments: For all of those users who adore the color black.

This looks good. Thank you. : )

For next versions, can you add more codecs (FLAC, APE, WavPack, etc.)? And alternate colour schemes, please?

Again, thank you.

Grey Ghost by Stuart60611

http://rapidshare.de/files/33632905/Grey_Ghost.7z.html

this is really awsome...It's working great for me....thanks for everything...just when I thought foobar could'nt get any better...good stuff

This looks simply great! As there many other popular codecs (aac, the lossless ones): Can you modify it in a way, that only one codec is displayed?

New version is in progress.
I need good symbol fonts to make this panel more readable,so if anyone knows of such a font
please share it's name (or even better a download link). Thank you.

Probably more readable, but I'm not sure if it fits in style: Radioland from dafont.

Great panel!
ojdo

I think a way to make it more clear is also to make the top a little less bright. I find it a little too much.

This is an awesome job!!! Thanks

I second the need for more codecs like AAC love this script

nice, thnx!

Hi

Just tried updating from the first version (which worked beautifully) to version 1.1 and had this come up in the panel.



I added it twice from the above codebox and it still turns out this way.
The font i have selected is that of 7segment 14pt
Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Since you're using a dark background change the "active" variable to something like (255,255,255)
and the "passive" to some like (100,100,100).Problem solved.
(For light backgrounds use dark text colors+you don't have to select any font at all,it doesn't have any effect)

Perfect pal.....dunno how I missed that thanks a lot

Awesome work my friend. I'll definitely use it!!
Would it be possible to support %play_count%, %last_played% and %rating%? Thanks again.

Derfinately.What i want to know is if to continue adding new fields to the right so it will look like a long stripe,
or to give it a more "conservative" rectangle look?

great to here that! it´s indeed a great work, thank you my friend!

I think you should add more fields so it will be a long stripe. I would also love an option to add other user defined tags, such as genre, rating, mood, tempo, bpm, and others. Perhaps you could have the option to add whatever tags to the right the user wants and have the panel automatically resize itself depending on which, if any, tags are addded to the optional ones. Also, you could make this a complete track info by also adding fields for artist and title to the left and an indicator to indicate whether the particular artist-title being diplayed is the now playing track or a selected track. A progress bar could also be cool.

For some reason I'm not able to change the fonts for the audio codec, it's just plain Arial for me. I'm not familiar with the trackinfo panel, so I really have no idea why and how this is Can someone enlighten me, what to do?
This thing looks quite nice BTW, I think I'll stick to it.

You need the fonts provided for version 1.1,it's different from the archive in the V1.0

Thanks, I did not notice that. Looks swell.

I like the idea of a very long strip. My Trackinfo is alread 3/4 of the screen because of the way my layout in designed but it'd be great to have this full of useful info thenI could get shut of the standard looking box from the old track info panel

Tell me what fields are you using in your old trackinfo?
See it's impossible to put every possible field in this panel so i need to know what is absolutely essential for you guys to have.

Rating, mood, playcount, last played

By rating do you mean the %rating% tag,that has been edited manualy,or rating value calculated by some
code ("Hotness","Hot or not")?

hmmmmm... cannot get it to work properly..... The 7 segment font does not work....
I already installed the 1.1 version fonts in the windows/fonts directory apparently to no avail....



any pointer as to what might be wrong? thanks.

Open Windows\System32\charmap.exe and check if the fonts from the archive are installed.
P.S. You're using version 1.1,it's better to use V 1.1.1 instead.

Does anybody know what font contains this symbol?

I think i've seen it in Arial Unicode MS, but are not sure.

Thanks for reply,but it's not there,and i realy need it.

Russell777, could you please keep the 1st post up-to-date with the latest version? Makes it a lot easier to find it that way. And you can avoid confusion with troubleshooting, probably.

Wingdings3 was as close as I could find at the moment. It's got a few that are pretty close by not exact, hrm. I might be able to make a new font with just that symbol in it, lol.

d4d

Thanks for your efforts,I just found exactly what i've been looking for.

This is a good idea! I got a problem though... for some reason glass.png isn't loading. Yes, I have it in my images directory. PNG buttons work fine so the libs are okay. I have the trackinfo_mod from the 17th which is the latest. Any ideas? Everything else looks good and works fine.

Great work.

I'm on Windows 2000 and do not have "franklin gothic medium", the system seems to use kinda arial then, which is bigger.

The glass/png stuff does not seem to work here on my 2000 system? Same as with custom buttons, this will be not possible?
EDIT: It works.

rodan321, you probably did the same mistake like me. The images directory belongs to where your foobar2000.cfg is, this may be %appdata%\foobar2000\.

That was it, figured it out right before I refreshed and saw your post. I saw a little blurb on the wiki. Thanks!

Open preferences->General if you have the "Enable user support" box checked,you should place the image
inside your profile directory (...Application data\foobar2000\images\glass.png).

2 Squealer It might be your problem too.

BTW, I think the realtime vbr display is useless, as the panel just refreshes once a second. I'd rather use %__bitrate%

Tried this and the font does not appear to be installed.... odd.... it's in the fonts directory:



I don't get it....



Does anyone has this problem and knows how to solve it?

For me, regular rating and hotness would be great.

from the rating tag could you provide some form of symbol fitting with the rest of the symbols as Id love to see what you come up with

DejaVu Sans Condensed has a symbol very close to this and many others which are similar.

Do I need something special to get the glass overlay. The path is correct and I have the png libraries in the foobar directory, but i'm not seeing the glass effect

thanks

Install the font as you have to install fonts in windows: Visit the fonts folder and choose the install fonts dialog from the file menu.
@LanceUppercut: See the rodan321 postings above.

@Thread starter: Add precise info about where to put the image and how to install fonts.

BTW can someone provide the franklin gothic medium? On w2k I do not have it. (if this is the font of "LOCAL DRIVE, STREAMING, REMOVABLE", my system shows arial)

And is there an easy way to create left padding?

Oh and sometimes it shows the track number, sometimes it doesn't... and I don't really know why. :-\

Thats awesome. Can we get a filefront link or upload section?

Because rapidshare no worky for NTL users

Just give me a link to the desired storage.

awesome work russell

Thank you! I've posted new version (V 1.2) See the first post.
I've added some of the features,you guys asked for,but i'm uncertain about the others.
Some of you asked for a "mood" value to be displayed,but as i understand it's not restricted to contain
specific sort of data and every one uses it in his own way,so symbolic display is not possible,unless you tell me
what do you write to this tag.Also i would like to pull a version with color schemes (for now it was monochrome)
so please post images of your home stereo's displays to give me some inspiration.Enjoy

This is some awesome work you've done Russell777, I'm loving this stereo display thingy!

This is the greatest thing ever! I am not really into track info panel but your code got me hooked up.
Thanks.
