So it probably doesn't use RATING:<number> format. Can you tell what is used in RATING?

A very beautiful skin!

Sorry ,my English is poor.

Now, / / $drawstring
no shine,but it is normal

It was all going so well...

:[

So I decided to add Artist pics (otherwise the skin looks kinda half done) and at first I used:

$puts(artist.path,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,artist.jpg))

Which works fine but requires there be a seperate artist pic in every folder and was proving a lot of work. And so I decided to pool the pics together in one folder called "Artists" inside the "foobar 2000" folder. And now I can't get them to show at all on tab 4 - no clue why.

I tried:

$puts(artist.path,'.\Artists\'%artist%'.*') ----- (This works fine on tab 1 but will not work on tab 4)

I tried:

$puts(artist.path,'./Artists/'%artist%'.*')

I tried:

$puts(artist.path,'C:/foobar2000/Artists/'%artist%'.jpg')

And I tried:

$puts(artist.path,C:/foobar2000/Artists/'%artist%'.jpg)

Nothing works on tab 4 (which is the artist below the album cover)

Wtf?

Anyone have any clue what I'm doing wrong?

Skellington,
$puts(artist.path,'C:/foobar2000/Artists/'%artist%'.jpg') that should work, did you name all those files, by the artist's name, example: Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, etc....?, or do you have 2 codes to display Artist images, if thats the case you have to do further editing.
EDIT: You may have to go back to that window to edit them and look for the drop down menu as "per track" and select "per second" and then enter that code in.

Use
$puts(artist.path,$replace(%path%,$directory(%path%,1)\%filename_ext%,)artist.jpg)
and store artist images in the folder above the album folders (eg C:\my music\the beatles for the beatles)
Not a solution, but if everything else fails...

everything's fine

I do get grey 1 star for some tracks with custominfo ratings though, weird

nikolai4ik, that GREY STAR is auto rating. You can manually add the rating tag if you use the top WHITE STARS at the top, you have to hover over them to turn white and then you'll have your permanent rating, unless you edit them. As for custom info, i didn't even know that works with the latest fb2k, and i don't think it works with this config, i could be wrong about that.

I don't update foobar to the newest version so custominfo works.

nikolai4ik, oh ok. well the grey stars are your auto rate, and the heart is your mood/or favorite track.

I did that but it hasn't helped.



BTW The pics are all in 1 folder with the artist name on each (Kate Bush.jpg, Peter Gabriel.jpg, etc)

Skelington, ok... screen shot is too big for here, use thumb nail view. Try and remove the code that has //...see it that works. If that part of the code you don't need, remove this then //$puts.artist.path.....

I dunno how to do thumbnail view - so I just erased the screenie.

If I remove the // it tells foobar to look for the pics in the individual album folder - which works (that's the way I had it before) but means I have to go through every album adding pics - and I have a lot of albums...

So why doesn't the other code work on Tab 4 if it works fine on Tab 1?

I'd much rather have 1 pic for 1 artist rather than say the 26 I'd need for Marillion if I add 1 to each album folder (now you see the scope of the problem)

Skelington, remove that entire line starting with // ...and that should work.

Nope :[

Can anyone tell me how to change the playback mode...by default it is random and i have to change it all the time to the "straight" one...

Another question - fb2k always starts showing the window where i have to click the start button to use the player - is there anyway to skip it?..

Yes, right click on the top of the config and go to splitter settings check the screen shot here to the right you'll see hide panel on start up check that for the apporiate settings.

I get the following error message when importing the 2.0b is there an update of plugins needed since 1.6b?

"The layout import was aborted because the following required panels are not installed:
Name

Thanks alot for a graeat skin, I have greate ecpectations for the 2.0 altough its a b

Plunta

Hm. Not sure if it's just me having wrong expectations. I thought the heart besides the rating stars was there to 'love' a track on Last.FM. That's apparently not happening for the time being.

Also I cannot set any ratings as I could before. I guess that this was probably already reported before and if someone knows how to fix it I'd be grateful for being pointed in the right direction.

Edit: Nevermind I found a solution. Just have to turn my brain on before posting bug reports... :[

Edit2: Maybe I was too quick. Is the heart just there to tag the file or does it actually mark a song as loved in LastFM as well?

Andu, the heart is only for tracks present in your media library...(no last.fm)

Yea I assumed that much. I guess I'll have to talk to the guys doing the lastfm radio component about adding some lastfm functionality there first.

Thanks again Br3tt for the great config. I've been using it for a while now!

However, I'm wondering if you can tell me how to change the way the playlist displays albums... is there a way to show all tracks in a playlist, instead of having to click on an album to expand the view to the tracks?

I ask because I think that the new playlist layout renders the tool "copy info between tracks" useless, since I can't seem to select more than one album at once...

elplaylist/settings/behaviour/auto-collapse

I have a question on how most of the people here generally use IBIZA...There are many ways to use it and i can't decide...

Do you search and listen music with coverflow, album list panel, graphic browser or you load all the library in the playlist and then browsing it with the alphabet buttons that Br3tt added?

My question may sounds stupid but its very complicated when you can't decide, because IBIZA has many great ways to browse our libraries...

I always use Albumlist panel because I have so many albums and it's the quickest way to them.

On a slightly different note:

I've finally got Ibiza working great and looking great (thanks to everyone who helped) but I still have one minor problem that isn't Ibiza related, however because everyone was so helpful I wondered if anyone knew the answer to this?

I update my tags in MP3Tag (it's much easier) however in order to "refresh" them in foobar I have to click every track individually to force foobar to update the info.

Is there an easier way?

(I miss the old FreeDB - it had this option)

The new beta version of foobar keeps track of file and metadata changes from files in the media library.

on the top where the minimize buttons and close button are, isn't it supposed to display song playing ? ... it doesn't for me

Great config, been using it for a while now. I have a few issues I haven't been able to fix on my own (figfure out what checkbox or code controls it etc).

How can I get the scrollbar on ELplaylist to not be autohidden? I always find myself hitting the button to show it, but rarely to hide.

I've got my albumart options customized to use cover.jpg and not folder.jpg. It works ok almost everywhere but the transparent albumart behind the playlist seems to only show up some of the time, even though I have it set just how it was with cover instead of folder and I have cover.jpg saved with the albums.

Speaking of which, how can I get rid of the red hue without turning transparency off?

skyhopper38, For the red hue part, read this http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=595504
For the scroll bar part right click the scroll bar button and go to splitter settings and follow the screen shot TB3, then click on hide panel on start up

I have the very latest Foobar 0.9.6 beta 1

It doesn't update unless I click the track (and you can imagine clicking hundreds of tracks is laborious)

:/

There is a beta 2 now.

I got a small problem it seems my album list panel is blank (no the font colour is not black) What could be the problem with it?

Guys can anybody tell me how to get the artist and song title to show in the foobar title when a song is playing?

Check ColumnsUI then main window Title format script and make sure there is no // in front of the %artist% - %title% - %_time_elapsed% / %length%

Thanks a lot. That makes Foxytunes a lot more sexy...

Funnily enough I went and looked just after I wrote the last post and found the new Beta2.

And it works :]

Happy now.

is there a way to center the text ?

Yeah if I can get my problem sorted this will be the config I use but i can not for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

--Edit--

I want to know how to center the text too.

Any idea how to get the "albums" shown up in start up rather then "artists" in left panel? And is there a way to by pass the windows with all the checking procedure to go directly to foobar whenever foobar starts

Thanks, and great job

Right click on the note and click splitter settings, then on start panel click hide panel on start up, as for your other question I aint got a clue.

Thank you very much! I had no idea it was that easy.

it is ...

Whilst in splitter settings - scroll down to GB Album and untick "hide at startup" then GB artist and tick "hide at startup"

I know very little of creating code (I can edit a little) but in a bid to be helpful for once I did a bit of Googling and found this article: Translated from Chinese - if you scroll to the bottom it talks about status bar text alignment.

You'd need to figure out how to apply it tho - I have no clue.

That's what i thought too, but somehow it didn't work. Should I do anything else?

That works a treat for me.

Whats the panel name for the chronflow?

Got that sorted but it loads up in full mode instead of split is there a way of doing that? or not

this is the problem with my album list

This is how I would like it load up like.

Splitter Settings / Split Panel / untick 'hide panel on startup'

Ahh yes that got it one down one to go.

All my problems are sorted for some reason you have to add your own album list panel. Either way it's sorted.

Hi! So I just installed this and it's incredibly awesome. I love it. Best Foobar mod I've tried so far. I'm doing some tweaking in there, and so far things are moving along great, except for one thing I can't figure out.



See that bar at the bottom? Can I remove that? Or hide it? Or... well anything, it's real ugly like that. Any help?

Thanks!

Yes you can remove it, go into Foobar2000 prefrences, go to display, then columns ui, then click Status Bar Tab, and then uncheck "Show Status Bar"

Ahhhh Awesome that works!

Figures, I was able to change settings in the lyrics tab just fine, but couldn't find this!

Thanks!!

Guys, can anyone help me out?..
for some reason ibiza-powered fb2k has a random mode enabled by default...can anyone tell me how to change it to the "straight", usual one?..

Thanx a lot in advance!!

I love this one but I've got ONE small problem... take a look at the picture and I hope you'll understand and I really hope you can help me! Don't know how to solve the problem...




I don't want the artist photo to be "below" the progress bar...
