Hi,
I had been using Zoom Player for video and music, but as i am transcoding my CD collection in FLAC format, i realize that ZP won't be able to read FLAC (Vorbis comment) tags.
So that's why i'm taking a look at foobar2000 that has no problem with FLAC tags.
But it's for using on a HTPC, with a 3m distance of the TV.
So i was wondering if foobar could be use as a HTPC frontend? I tried to find some configs, but they all seem to be for PC use, being at 30 cm of the screen.
Is Foobar2000 for me or will i have to look somwhere else?
Full Version: Using fb2k as a full screen media center frontend?

I found a couple of threads on this topic, such as: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....HTPC&st=100
Admittedly, the threads are a bit sparse, but this one might point you in the right direction.
Thanks for pointing to this topic which helps me very much.
I shall post my work when done.
I'm a bit disappointed that no one else seems to use fb2k for HTPC though.
Some great things could be done.

Need some help here 
What i would like to achieve is a UI Windows Media Center like, which is :
Main view :
- Album list (with focusable small covers placed in grid).
- 5 focusable buttons to sort by Artist/Date/Album, or Album, or Genre/Artist/Date/Album, en/disable random, en/disable repeat.
- Focusable button to "Play all" tracks of the library.
When you click on an album of the Main view, you enter the Album view :
- Album cover and info (date, artist, genre, etc).
- Focusable Track list to play one specified track.
- Focusable button to "Play all" tracks of the album.
- 2 focusable buttons to en/disable random and repeat.
When you clic on "Play all" of any view, or a track from the album view, you enter the Now Playing view :
- which is basically what ojdo did
As i am e very very newbie in fb2k (since yesterday), i will need some help to achieve this, unless it already exists, that would be fantastic!
Any help appreciated

before anybody can help, you need to say which UI you are using/want to use...so people can give you hints in the right direction
You have very clear ideas about what you want and you're a newbie. In my opinion you'll get the config of your choice working. In ten years.
I don't know about WMP/Media center, I tuned fb2k for my fullscreen needs (notebook) and made it easily accessible (controllable via rc) for my wife and I can tell you this was ongoing, consistent and lot of work. And I know about the fb2k, components and code possibilities quite well.

The different views can e.g. be made by different ColumnsUI layouts, you can even have them in a tabbed layout. This is the way I would do it. foo_fullscreen. ColumnsUI as the main UI with probably some track display panels from panelsUI. And inside the trackl display, a lot of terror code in order to suit your buttons and album art needs.

Scarring!!
My girlfriend will have left me way before i'm done, it seems!
Mind sharing your fullscreen WAF compliant config with me? So that i don't start off nothing.
Thanks by advance.
@antar3s
I'm using Columns UI as main UI.
How would you do the first view, an Album List?
I tryed with foo_uie_albumlist.dll but it doesn't permit any UI customisation and can't be used to create an alnum playlist and focus the "album playlist" layout..

People would probably use the panels ui playlist view, it can hold pictures afaik. I'm not into this.
Here you can get my columnsUI fcl file maybe it helps you getting ideas. No album art here. A lot of dependencies. To my own file system, to components, to fonts you may not have... Note you can TAB through the 3 layouts, see "View - Tabbed panel stack mod". Here I use the "organize" for organizing stuff, .info. for displaying when walking through the file system and .time. for playback display.
A lot of code uglyness is because of internet radio treatment. Also a lot of classical music related code (e.g. "If title begins with roman chars, then do not display %tracknumber%")
Also, the columnsUI code is still in old columnsUI syntax.
I personally use the panelsui library view, it is highly customizable. May I suggest you take a look in the Upload forum and this thread. You will find lot's of columns ui and panels ui configs that show what can be done with the different UIs. Adjusting them for your fullscreen needs should be easier than creating the layout from scratch 
easy.

now make your fonts as big as you want them

Just a suggestion: I love foobar and use it as a utility/toolkit/listening package for my music. When it comes to whole house though, I use SqueezeCenter 7.0 from what is now Logitech (they bought Squeeze). It is a completely open source package, well-supported. You can use 'softsqueeze' a client app to play on PC's. Not sure how it would fit into your config, but there are lots of plugins, interfaces, etc. Someone is now working on an album browse (like in itunes where you 'flip' through the albums), there are plugins to provide additional data such as biography, etc.
It loads the music tags into a mySQL database, so you need to have really tagged your music well.

Hi all,
In the end i'm going for a single colum playlist, with autohiding database filter filter as playlist view, and a trackdisplay as now playing view.
Now i would like to do something that i couldn't find anywahre : retrieve the play mode in a constant, like if %playmode%=random, then display a random icon on the now playing panel.
Is it possible?

The component cwb_hooks provides %cwb_playback_order%.
So
$if($strcmp(%cwb_playback_order%,Random),*YOUR IMAGE*,)
should do the trick.
But what do you do with all the other playbackorder modes?
I use:
$if($strcmp(%cwb_playback_order%,Default),,%cwb_playback_order%)
to display the actual name of the current playbackmode.

Exactly what i wanted! Thanks very much.
I just want to know about the random mode because i only use random or repeat all.
OK, i've finished my simple HTPC config. Girlfriend loves it
Some screenshots :
When i hit the "music" button on my RC :
(notice the "RDM" on the CD case, only appearing when this mode is activated)
When it's paused :
When i hit the "albums" button on my RC :
Then i choose an album with RC and hit "OK", so it plays the album, automatically returning to Now view :
(notice that the "RDM" disappeared because we're in album play mode)
Whenever i hit the "random" button, it comes back to random mode on the whole database autoplaylist.
The almost invisible genre, playtime and track number are made on purpose, i wanted to keep a minimalist layout.
I just need to tweak the great chronflow component to make it flow covers with cdcases, then it will be over.

The code would be greatly appreciated, that looks awesome.
What are the requirements for album art at your config? (file paths, names, sizes...)
Requirements are ColumnsUI as main interface, and panelsUI as component for track display, and Chronoflow as component for the cover flow.
Images need to be in both places (program files, and appdata, don't know why).
The odjo config was resolution independent, but mine might be 1920x1080 dependent, as i did some mod.
I'll post the code tonight.

That's pretty nice! Although I'm a bit divided on the CD case idea. Some albums look better on Vinyl, among other things...
how do you make the panels show/hide via RC?

Really nice config
simple and efficient...
Hope you will share the code, the image and the layout of your column ui config
Edit :
Can you put a screen of the layout config of column ui please
And use codebox instead of code please
A question
How do you select a track in an album??
So i have tested your config. I advise you to replace all the $imageabs by $imageabs2 because with panel ui sometimes $imageabs doesn't work

ok so my question is how does that runcmd look like? sorry i stopped using columnsui a long time ago...im not aware of a feature that would do something like that. does columnsui allow u to load different layouts via a contextmenu, or how does it work?
Nice work djoole.
I've often wondered the same thing as I use Mediaportal at 1920x1200 but prefer the looks of a good foobar setup.
Hopefully more talented coders will carry on similar work. Love variety.

1) Can't do it right now because i'm away. But it's very simple :
2 layouts, "Now" and "Main"
Chronflow component under "Now".
Vertical splitter under "Main", and TrackDisplay panel in the splitter, with "show caption" off.
2) Done
3) I can't do that with this config. I will have to skip to the wanted track.
What i wanted to do first was :
From the coverflow view, "OK" on an album -> go to the album view (basically a single colum playlist displaying album tracks), then "OK" on a track -> go to the Now playing view.
But i don't know how to affect 2 functions to my OK remote control button, depending on which layout i am (girder doesn't see difference beetween layouts, for it, it's the same foobar window).
If someone know how to do that, i'd appreciate some help.
4) can i just replace imageabs by imageabs2? Nothing to change in the arguments?

ok so my question is how does that runcmd look like? sorry i stopped using columnsui a long time ago...im not aware of a feature that would do something like that. does columnsui allow u to load different layouts via a contextmenu, or how does it work?
Runcmd is a foobar component that call any foobar menu command from the MS Windows command line.
Ex: c:\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe /runcmd="Playback/Play or Pause"

Nice work djoole.
I've often wondered the same thing as I use Mediaportal at 1920x1200 but prefer the looks of a good foobar setup.
Hopefully more talented coders will carry on similar work. Love variety.
Let's not forget it's odjo work, i just used it and modified it to suit my needs. I would never have been able to do this alone!

sry thats not exactly what i wanted to know. but thnx anyways. i understood now, that columnsui puts entries in the mainmenu that allow you to load a different layout.

If you change imageabs to imageabs2 you need to change the argument too... but like this all the version of panelui work fine with your config...

I don't know what to put as arguments, and don't have time right now to find out, but if you know what to put, let me know and i'll make the changes!
I'm also still using the mmpc config sometimes and here is the code with imageabs2 (IT#s only the album art that needs to be changed!)
$imageabs2(556,516,0,0,556,$add(29,$get(pos.shadow)),$get(pos.artx),$add(460,$get(pos.arty)),/images/htpc2/case.png,ROTATEFLIP-6)
$imageabs2(454,454,0,0,454,$add(-2,$get(pos.shadow)),$add(71,$get(pos.artx)),$add(460,31,$get(pos.arty)),$get(path.albumart),NOKEEPASPECT ROTATEFLIP-6)
$imageabs2(557,$get(pos.shadow),0,0,557,$get(pos.shadow),$get(pos.artx),$add(460,31,$get(pos.arty)),/images/htpc2/shadow.png,NOKEEPASPECT)
$imageabs2(556,516,0,0,556,516,$get(pos.artx),$get(pos.arty),/images/htpc2/case.png,)
