Bug: Crash after changing of track, if playing playlist isn't active.
QUOTE(Keikonium @ Jan 25 2008, 01:36)
1. Opening windowed mode doesn't use the same settings as my panel. Is it possible to have the settings sent over to the windowed version? Maybe an export settings to file button?
2. Full screen still doesn't function correctly in Panels UI (don't know about CUI).
1. They have both independent settings and I don't think I'll change it
2. I tried with PUI yesterday and while I had no crashes going to fullscreen then getting out was kind of unpredictable: sometimes the window wold not be inthe panel, or the window not perfectly fullscreen etc.
It has to do with the PUI constantly move/resize/reposition the window and the way I do fulscreen interfere with that. I'll see if I can make it work more reliably but no promise as I don't know what exactly PUI is doing to the window.

But I found a little bug: mipmapping settings are lost after restart of foobar.
I couldn't repoduce it.
QUOTE(Keikonium @ Jan 25 2008, 02:53)
mipmapping is greyed out for me... I'm confused as to why?
It's greyed if your hardware (like mine) use the ARB_texture_rectangle OpenGL extension for rendering textures, that is not compatible with mipmap automatic generation. I'l probably compute them manually for this case in a future version
QUOTE(johnredcorn @ Jan 25 2008, 07:09)
Please add a transparent panel background option to the list if you haven't already done so. In the mean time, if you could add the option for choosing a solid color background that would be great.
Also, would it be possible to allow an option for this component to view all album covers in your media library as opposed to just the covers in the current playlist?
Transparent panel: we'll see but it's not immediately apparent to me how I can implement that
Media library: In a future version you'll able to bind any playlist to a coverflow panel, so if you have a playlist with whole media library you can bind to that

I still consistently get crashes when leaving fullscreen mode. Basically it makes foobar not respond and take high cpu usage until I kill the process.
I coundn't reproduce it. I don't understand what could cause it
QUOTE(mil3s @ Jan 25 2008, 11:59)
Reflections aren't visible for me. They are way too dark. Also, all covers appears to be much darker than before, even with flat shading removed.
That's true I'll make them brighter with reflection configurable

Hi bubbleguuum.Please ,can you fix this?
Can't load cover.jpg 6,29mb and more(mb)!!!
I have only covers with high resolution.For me this is a big problem.
Wow these are big! probably exploding max texture allowed size. Even If I could handle them that would be super slow to process.

Sorry, bug description was not precise.
1. Start foobar
2. Activate mipmaps
Result:
You see good quality covers -> mipmaps is truly activated
3. Shutdown foobar
4. Start foobar again
mipmaps is seemingly still activated, but you see again (as before activating mipmaps) poor quality cover:
-> mipmapping is in reality deactivated

If you make some animation please make an option to desactivate them because i think it will use too much ressource and for me animation are not a priority
Continue like this, it will become one of the best component

I'll release a new version tomorrow fixing 2 crashes, making the image brighter (it's too dark in 0.13) and having the reflection amount ajustable.
After that I'll work on more important features that will take some time (unicode and embedded covert art).
BHitman, what theme is that?
Sorry to go off topic, BHitman, what playlist switcher/viewer component is that you are using in the screenshot?
The coverflow looks good in my iTunes config.
This config wont be another iTunes lookalike config, it will be the real iTunes lookalike config.
Im just left with the lybrary view to implement, then I will post it if anyone is interested.
If anyone is interested, let me know and i'll send you screen shots of the current features.
Thanks, BG for making this ish happen.
PS: how do you guys attach images in your post? I not sure how thats done, you have to see my config

Haha, I have two iTunesish configs and don't like either one all that much. What you got?
foo_bubble_coverflow.dll - v0.13
foobar2000 - v0.9.5
I tried upgrading from 0.11 to 0.13 and I am still encountering many problems.
- When added to the Columns layout, coverflow still appears in a separate window instead of in the embedded panel.
- Foobar crashes whenever I try to apply/save any changes to the coverflow configuration, which is still only available through the columns layout tree.
- My console is still spammed with "Could Not Unregister Class" messages.
- The foobar2000 process becomes a zombie and I must manually kill it if I exit foobar with coverflow running.

well mine looks as closest to iTunes more than any other itunes lookalike i've seen and/or used.
the only thing that is left with is the library view on the left hand panel, and the functionality to disable/enable tracks on playlist.
besides that, it is as close to itunes as foobar can get.
I wanted to include one screen shot of in this post, but I dont know how to do that

Hi bubbleguuum and big thanx !!
0.13 works fine now (main function in panel) in PanelsUI
i have detected a new pb : foobar crash when i put in settings of your coverflow a bad path for the nocover picture source.
PS: i haven't tested again the fullscreen mode yet (i'm at work now and can't do it before this evening)
Thanx again, you're a bugg-killer
fullscreen bugg always here with panelsUI, here is in 5 steps with screenshots what happens (often but not always, sometime it works!)
1) before double-click on coverflow backgroud :
2) no screen shot because screen flip to fullscreen for 1 second and came back to orginal size ...
<..>
3) ... it came back to original size, ok, but not in the main foobr window, panel is out of foobar, on the desktop !
4) if i double-click one more time on coverflow panel background, panel return in the foobar window at the place i have coded (but no flip to fullscreen this time)
5) if i try to go to fullscreen one more time, nothing happens, except that the coverflow panel
disappears !! just see an appli entry in the windows taskbar ...
I hope it's more clear for you now ?
thanx to see if you could fix it (no emergency
)new observation about fullscreen pb under PUI :
- fullscreen mode works well (under PUI) if nothing is playing !!! but position of the panel return to bad position if i play a song after going in fullscreen mode
so, pb is linked on the fact that a song is playing or not ... very strange no, any idea Bubble?
thanx

Yes I could reproduce all that. When playing , it looks like for some obscure reason, PUI is resizing / moving the window and I have no control over that. One solution would be that I launch a separate fullscreen instance of the standalone window in full screen usig the panel settings. Quite a pain in the ass to manage if you ask me...

ok, windowed it is a solution, but in order to avoid problem in PUI, could you (please) add a arameter in settings that disable double-click on panel to go to fullscreen ?
this will allow to have a non bugged panel for PUI, what do you think about that ?
Here's 0.14 which is a bugfix release. I made the image brighter but reflection amount configurability will have to wait a bit. Reflection looks about OK with the camera near (itunes style) but not so great with the camera far so I'll rework them at some point.
@ Falstaff: found a solution to the PUI fullscreen problem, finally.
0.14
- fix: mipmaps setting remembered but mipmaps not generated on foobar relaunch
- fix: crash when playing, on next track change if playing track was not in the active playlist and "playback follow cursor" was disabled
- fix: hack to make switching to fullscreen with Panel UI work without artifacts
- chg: made the rendering of covers more bright

i'll try this immediatly, thanx bubbleguuum
... i give you feedback quickly i have coded a progress bar for showing the position of the album browsed in the coverflow, it works great !!!
here is a screenshot (i'll release this iFoo version soon on iFoo Topic, after testing bubble_coverflow 0.14 !!!)
EDIT : ok, fullscreen mode works always now, but when clicking on a new cover (play), screen is flashing because returning to original size panel in PUI then came back to fullscreen ... btw, it's better than before your update
, thanxMipmapping is ok now !
thanx again, keep the good work
I still always get crashes when leaving fullscreen mode and on startup I get "Could Not Unregister Class." in the console. I don't know if there's a connection but sth. still seems not to be ok. I'm on Vista 32bit if that matters.
First off bubbleguuum, thank you for all your hard work in coding this brilliant component! Even in its early stage, it's already highly functional and relatively stable.
I do have one problem however. I am using a dual monitor setup and, with version 0.13, fullscreen worked perfectly on my second monitor. But, now with version 0.14, when i double click on the black area when in windowed mode on my second display, coverflow disappears instead of going fullscreen. The only way to make it visible again is to close coverflow and then restart it. This bug only seems to affect output on a second monitor as fullscreen mode still works perfectly on my primary display. Perhaps the changes you made to correct fullscreen mode in panels_ui are the source of the problem?
Thanks again for the great plug-in!

The "Can't unregister..." message are benign. I never had crashes exiting fullscreen so this may be a driver issue. You could try to update your video driver to see if it changes anything. You can also try the 0.12 debug build and post the crash log (if any) : http://bubbleguuum.free.fr/foo_bubble_cove..._0.12_debug.zip

Same happened to me with version 0.14
Bug appears very seldom (only after heavy testing).
Foobar doesn't crash, program responds not.
Vista 32bit, panels ui 0.14.9, FofR-Skin, nVidia 7300SE
Problem could be, that I've installed two coverflow-panels at different locations of script.
I'll try it again with only one coverflow-panel.

Just a remark : Mimaps make foobar very slow (with only 7 covers in the Coverflow!) (Bubble_coverflow 0.14 + foobar 0.9.4.5 + PanelsUI 0.14.9)
So, i disable it in settings.
btw, no more crash

Yup mipmaps is slower because they must be generated on the fly for each cover loaded and it is CPU intensive.
Do you have "ARB_texture_non_power_of_two: yes" in the console ? If the answer is no, that means you're using an older video card, and mipmap generation is the slowest it can get because it has to compute mipmaps on power of two textures that can be greater than the resolution of the original images, hence even more processing.
EDIT: I'll also have to investigate if a faster mipmap generation method could not speed things up.

That's not correct - the difference is only 1 mipmap (e.g. if your image's with 9px -> mipmaps: 4,2,1 - rounded up to power of two, the size is 16px -> mipmaps 8, 4, 2, 1). I don't think that does make that much of a difference.
QUOTE
EDIT: I'll also have to investigate if a faster mipmap generation method could not speed things up.
Already tried that, and I couldn't find a solution in that direction. For a 500px cover, you will always have to generate 8 mipmaps - that takes some time.
But there are some other solutions:
- resize the bitmaps on load so they are displayed close to 1:1 (but this will force you to reload the cache on every resize)
- do some clever shader writing - but this will only work on shader-supporting GPUs
- do supersampling (not multisampling!) on the whole image
I think this is the best solution - you will have to render the frame at least 2 times, but you should be able to get >400fps on any GPU after all (you are only rendering less than 100 polygons...).
GPUs don't have built-in support for this (as far as I know). But you can implement supersampling with the accumulation buffer. You just have to watch out that you don't supersample your text (bluuuuur).

Coverflow still refuses to bind into a panel
Coverflow still crashes foobar whenever I try to change any settings
I tracked down the zombie process to foo_shpeck instead of coverflow.

That's not correct - the difference is only 1 mipmap (e.g. if your image's with 9px -> mipmaps: 4,2,1 - rounded up to power of two, the size is 16px -> mipmaps 8, 4, 2, 1). I don't think that does make that much of a difference.
In the rare case of using POT textures (most card support either NPOT or th rectangle extension) I generate a texture rounded to nearest greater POT size; ie a 600x600 picture gets a 1024x1024 image. computing mipmap on such huge textures is ultra slow and it's also a waste a memory space. In this case could maybe be faster to rescale the image to 512x512 and we'd get 4x faster mimap generation. However as almost everybody has some kind of NPOT texture support this is not super important...

- do supersampling (not multisampling!) on the whole image
I think this is the best solution - you will have to render the frame at least 2 times, but you should be able to get >400fps on any GPU after all (you are only rendering less than 100 polygons...).
GPUs don't have built-in support for this (as far as I know). But you can implement supersampling with the accumulation buffer. You just have to watch out that you don't supersample your text (bluuuuur).
Interesting idea, that could be super fast and give OK results
Thanks bubbleguuum for this incredible little plugin. Now I have two little requests.
First of all there is a problem for me when I have a cover that is mostly white. Then half of the artist - album text is gone. I guess this problem will exist with whatever colour one chooses for the text. I can only think of 2 possible solution although I'm not sure if the second is even viable. First the text could be moved closer to the bottom edge of the panel. The second possibility would be to recognise what colour the cover has around the text and switch the colour of the text to black if the cover is too bright.
My second request would be to add some kind of animation when moving the albums. Kind of like the original Apple Coverflow does.
Anyway keep up the good work. I'll come back to you if I have new ideas or find any bugs.

That feature is in the to do list buddy.
Just upgraded to 0.14 and it works great! Fullscreen even works great now in Panels UI !! However, when exiting fullscreen, I get a taskbar entry that is blank, and I can't get rid of it until I exit foobar and reload. Think this could be fixed?
Excellent work. If I may, could we get some font options in the next build or so?
EDIT:
Also, an option for horizontal, and vertical padding would be wonderful

0.14 is Not working at all for me with DUI+Dockable Panels. Crashes on first load and if I get foobar to load without the crash, it will not attach to a Dockable Panel (selecting it just open COver Flow in it's on window, not the panel.
Also, it does not change when facets change (just goes blank.)
Large playlists freeze everything.

The last version to work properly is 0.11 and even that one was not perfect. Is something wrong with my settings?- because I cannot see the next album art in the preview it only shows a white outline.

Can someone tell me what to fill in the cover source to display ANY jpg? The problem is, my covers are sometimes named folder, front, wsfwefoiewoff35646456546, or whatever.
doesn't work. Are wildcards not supported, yet?
Thanks in advance.
CODE
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*.jpg

Thanks in advance.
in the same way, my covers are named 'folder.jpg' for albums or named %title%.jpg for Singles
but in settings, i can't us conditions or vars declared in Globals (i.e. $get(MyCoverName))
could it be possible to allow these for a future release or is it to hard to implement ?
thanx
@bubbleguuum:
Are you planning to add animations to your component?
What i mean is: will the covers move when i scroll through them? Right now they are not flowing as in coverflow but the next cover just instantly pops up in the middle and replaces the last one. I can't make out which direction the covers are moving. Only if i set maximum covers to 21+ i get a slight illusion of movement.
But even without animation: great eye-candy plugin! I won't use it in my standard f2k setup, though. I really like the new DUI don't want to inflate my setup with colums_ui.

Now coverflow window is horisontally orientation. It is possible make selection in preference of plugin also vertical orientation of this windows (move cover from bottom to top) ?

Did you not read this?
Planned features
- Unicode support
- Embedded cover support
- Bind the panel to a specific playlist instead of always the active playlist
- Animation
- (partly done) Reflections
- More eye candy (dynamic lighting would be cool)
- Optimizations (aka no lag)
- Scrollbar and some UI in fullscreen
- done No cover

How did you solve problem with separeted coverflow window?

I still consistently get crashes when leaving fullscreen mode. Basically it makes foobar not respond and take high cpu usage until I kill the process.
Same happened to me with version 0.14
Bug appears very seldom (only after heavy testing).
Foobar doesn't crash, program responds not.
Vista 32bit, panels ui 0.14.9, FofR-Skin, nVidia 7300SE
Problem could be, that I've installed two coverflow-panels at different locations of script.
I'll try it again with only one coverflow-panel.
Bug appears once more:
