In order not to have %album% repeated I use something about as basic as
$if($strcmp(%tracknumber%,01),$if2(%album% - ,'n/a - '))

You mean dividers like this?

As for streams titles hmm I think you have to use <whatever>%title% instead of %_filename%, and make sure "Show dynamic info" is checked (in prefs|display) as well as "Enable dynamic track titles" (in prefs|http reader)

I have drawn a diagram of what I'd like

user posted image

The 2nd column on the left (containing 16B - How To Live 100 Years) shows %_directoryname% . I want a divider (the red line drawn) to be placed in between files from different directories.

I have drawn red x's through the redundant directory names on the left - I just want it so that the first time a file from a directory is displayed, the directory name is displayed on the left. For all other files from the same directory , I don't want the directory name displayed. I see this in many people's configurations.

Regarding the radio stuff, I have dynamic info checked , etc. What I need is the IF statement to add, so that if I am listening to an internet radio station, it will display %title% instead of %_filename%.

Separators: Add this to the colour tab - although it's probably not the fastest method

//txt
|//txt
|//bg
|//bg
//
|//bg
|//left
|//top frame
$if($and($not($strcmp($add(1,%_playlist_number%),2)),
$strcmp($substr(%_filename%,1,2),01)),0000FF,000000)
|//right
|//bottom

No repeat: $if($strcmp($substr(%_filename%,1,2),01),%_directoryname%,)

Dynamic titles: $if($strcmp($substr(%_path_raw%,1,7),'http://'),[%artist% - ]%title%,%_filename%)

Thank you so much Olive. I will give that a try now.

So just to clarify - I should past the separators part to all the columns I have, into their colour fields?

And the no repeat parte to the display tab of my directory column?

dynamic titles to the display tab of my filename column?

Sorry for the dumb questions and thanks again .

Yes... You could use globals|colours instead of pasting to all columns -)
Note that I correlated your use of %_directoryname% and %_filename% to the screenshot you posted, and then assumed your naming pattern to be artist - album\tracknumber - title.ext. That will only work in that case, but if you got other patterns we can still add some $and() -)

Edit: BTW the comments were there to locate the top frame, you must delete them (replace |//txt with | etc.)
F. ex.
ffffff||000000||||$if($and($not($strcmp($add(1,%_playlist_number%),2)),
$strcmp($substr(%_filename%,1,2),01)),0000FF,000000)||

Holy %*$%*(! Thank you so much Olive. I took your streaming radio string and managed to figure out how to get it to work with my existing string. Now the name of a stream will show if I'm listening to radio, otherwise my normal string seems to work fine!

Going to play with your strings on removing redundant directories and adding dividers between different directories. I tried putting them in earlier today and it seems there are some things I need to fix.

Thank you again!

i know you all are going to hate me, but! i've been checking out all these crazy designs you've all been making and wanted to know if there was a place you could point me to to learn all this string formatting. i know foobar comes with a semi-manual but is there a site i can go to that will explain all this.

Thanks

Sorry, I'm not aware of any resource like that. I learned string formatting by following this thread and hacking an early formatting string from Jan S that I liked, consulting the syntax help page that comes with Foobar (Prefs > Display > Title formatting > Help button). You can learn a lot by changing strings and seeing what happens.

in columns_ui settings, in the "other" tab, click the "import" button and import the fcs file. if you've already done some configuring of your own and you don't want to lose it, be sure to "export" your config to an fcs file so you can recover it later.

I'm very sorry. I had a little error in "my" code that showed 10 gray dots when a song was unrated. This should be fixed with this string:

CODE

$if(%rating%,$repeat(000000|000000●,%rating%)$repeat(C0C0C0|C0C0C0●,$sub(5,%rating%)),C0C0C0|C0C0C0●●●●●)

Hi Moon,
I get the rating showing up in the Track Info correctly, but all that shows in teh rating column in 5 grey circles... What am I missing?

Thx.

This isn't very complex formatting, but I worked for quite a bit on both my systray strings, and my colour scheme

http://startrooper.free.fr/fb2k1.png
http://startrooper.free.fr/fb2k2.png

CODE

$padcut(:: ['['#%tracknumber%']'] [%album%],55)$char(13)$char(10)
$padcut(:: [$if($and(%va%,%performer%),%va% - %artist%,$if2(%va%,%artist%))],55)
[$char(13)$padcut(:: '('$if($or(%performer%,$not(%va%)),%performer%,%artist%)')',55)]$char(13)$char(10)
$padcut(:: [%title%],55)

which gives a popup :
:: [#01] Disque 1
:: Trésors du Cinéma - Richard Strauss
:: (Orchestre de Philadelphie)
:: Ainsi Parlait Zarathoustra

or, in less-tagged files,
:: [#09] The Cello Suites : Inspired by Bach (Disc 1)
:: Yo-Yo Ma
:: Suite No. 2, Courante

and it also truncates the titles, artists and disc names to prevent double-line entries.

ideas i'm playing with:
-check mark appears on left when track has been submitted to audioscrobbler
-playing track color fades from bright blue to white as track approaches end
-playcounts are brighter for more recently played tracks, and fade up to white from previous shade as track approaches 50%

-topdownjimmy from the gallery thread

Forgive my noobness, the little I do know about scripting can't even touch this. I'd owe you guys big if you could show me how to do these 3 things.

Okay, as I've been waiting for a reply here, I've been making attempts at coding this myself. After about 10 collective hours (I told you I was a newbie) I've managed to come close to getting my 2nd question figured out. "-playing track color fades from bright blue to white as track approaches end"

Here's the code I made, It's uber-sloppy and I can't think of any better solutions.

CODE

//**************************
//********** Countdown
//**************************
$puts(10_color,158E21|2177A5)
$puts(9_color,168420|2891C8)

$puts(4_color,1A541D|7BC0E6)
$puts(3_color,1B4B1D|86C6E8)
$puts(2_color,1B411C|96CDEB)
$puts(1_color,1C381C|A8D6EE)

//10

$if(%_isplaying%,$ifgreater(11,%_time_remaining_seconds%,$get(10_color)$num(%_playlist_number%,$len(%_playlist_total%)).' ',))
$if(%_isplaying%,$ifgreater(11,%_time_remaining_seconds%,$get(10_color)[$get(artist) - ],))
$if(%_isplaying%,$ifgreater(11,%_time_remaining_seconds%,$get(10_color)[$get(album) - ],))
$if(%_isplaying%,$ifgreater(11,%_time_remaining_seconds%,$get(10_color)[$get(title)] ,))
$if(%_isplaying%,$ifgreater(11,%_time_remaining_seconds%,%_time_remaining_seconds%,))

//If time remaining is greater than 10 seconds, show normal string.

$if(%_isplaying%,$ifgreater(%_time_remaining_seconds%,10,438B7C$num(%_playlist_number%,$len(%_playlist_total%)).' '[$get(artist) - ][$get(album) - ][A0EBE1$get(title)] ,))

Is there a function that I could use as an "equal to"? For example $function(%_time_remaining_seconds%,9)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

$strcmp is a popular choice. For example,
$strcmp($num(%_time_remaining_seconds%,2),09)

see titleformat_help.html in your foobar directory

I would use a select for this

CODE

$puts(10_color,158E21|2177A5)
$puts(9_color,168420|2891C8)
$puts(8_color,177B20|3EA3D9)

$puts(5_color,195E1E|71BBE3)
$puts(4_color,1A541D|7BC0E6)
$puts(3_color,1B4B1D|86C6E8)
$puts(2_color,1B411C|96CDEB)
$puts(1_color,1C381C|A8D6EE)

// this limits to 11 colors, the 10 count down ones, and the normal one
$select($min(%_time_remaining_seconds%,11),
$get(1_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(2_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(3_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(4_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(5_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(6_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(7_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(8_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(9_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
$get(10_color) DISPLAY STUFF HERE,
DISPLAY NORMAL STUFF HERE)

although putting the same thing but changing the color 10 times is kind of redundant, I would maybe use another variable like curr_color, which would be set depending on the time left like above, and use that for all tracks.

Sep 4 2005, 21:51

Thank you both very much for your help. I took richard's idea first since that's what I saw when I revisited this thread. I don't quite understand how the $min function works and I'd rather not invest the time to experiment with it seeing as the $strcmp is just about as efficient (uber-redundant). The important thing is that I at least got the string made though right? So here's my final code for the fade dealy:

I don't think there's any way you can determine if a track's been submitted through titleformatting yet, but here's something similar:

CODE

$if($greater($muldiv(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,100,%_time_total_seconds%),49),$char(10003))

It'll display a check mark once the track hits >= 50%. Note that it'll still display a check even if foo_audioscrobbler doesn't actually submit, i.e. you manually seek to 50+% instead of playing the track.

I don't like being spoonfed, but i'ma t a loss. Is there anyway to make things appear for about 5 seconds, and then change (say like, song info for 5 seconds, and then tech infor for the next five) continually, for the track info box. I've tried innumerable things, but can never get it to stay long enough, or work correctly

Does anyone have some sort of script that will sort albums by one artist, albums by various artists, and single files not in an album?

Currently I have just the sorting by albums by one artist.

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Can anyone explain me the "%piece subsection%" field? I didn't find any refence

Another question: In 0.9 there's the option to count sub-items in the album list. Is there any function to make this number available for scripting?

Could someone check to see that I'm doing this right?

CODE

$if(%_isplaying%,$blend(FFFFFF|FFFFFF,FFFFFF|FFFFFF,%playback_time_seconds%,10)
$select($add(1,$mod(%playback_time_seconds%,10)),
//●••••,•●•••,••●••,•••●•,••••●,•••●•,••●••,•●•••)
●••••,●●•••,●●●••,●●●●•,●●●●●,•●●●●,••●●●,•••●●,••••●,•••••)
,%tracknumber%)

Its not working (as in the circle does not move back and forth)
I use 0.8.3

Edit - original found here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....%97%8F%E2%97%8F,

Hi guys!

Maybe someone can use this. I wrote some quick 'n' dirty python code to create a multi-color-gradient progress bar for foobar. There's a progressBar function with the following arguments:

progressBar(var, lowVal, highVal, trueStr, falseStr, gradients)

It reproduces the behavior of $progress2().

If you call it like this:

progressBar('%bitrate%', 0, 310, chr(187), '$rgb(100,100,100)' + chr(187), [((172,96,38), (239,164,5), 12), ((239,164,5), (89,198,230), 12), ((89,198,230), (255,255,255), 12)])

Then you get a string that looks like this in trackinfo panel:

(It's still a first draft for my personal needs)

If a flac file has an embedded cue sheet, what string do I need to make foobar display title and artist information for each subtrack?

This is my playlist formatting string. Proper display of cuesheet track titles and artists works when using an external cue sheet but I'm not sure on what kind of "if" statement I need to do the same for embedded cue sheets.

CODE

%directoryname% \ $if($strcmp($ext(%_path%),cue),$if2(%_subsong%' - ',)$if2(%artist%' - ',)$if2(%title%,),$if($strcmp($substr(%_path_raw%,1,7),'http://'),%title%,%_filename%))

It works for me. If this is for your playlist, make sure you check "show dynamic information in playlist" or something like that under "Preferences->Display".

I spent some time working on a config for foo_osd. I broke out my programming skills (a bit rusty) and came up with this. I like the simple text look, and I like having a bunch of information showing about the track, but I didn't like having a really long OSD. So I decided to try to make one that would scroll long names for you automatically. It does just that, and you can set the max length before it starts to scroll via (one of the only, also color) easily changeable variables in the config. I have to warn you, it's pretty messy, I tried to clean it up, but...

Anyway, here's a little animation (in 2x speed) of it in action. Each part scrolls independantly, and they stay at the end for about 10 seconds, then go back to the beginning...

Hope somebody can enjoy it.

edit... Going to have to link it... it's too big! Maybe someone can clean it up or something. Oh, and I forgot to mention, that font is ProFont TrueType 9 point... on a 1920x1200 resolution, it's quite small.

Link!

Sweet! I cant' download it though, could you up it somewhere else? And is it possible to choose between a small and a wide bar?
