For original popupplus (not for debug dll??) you need install vcredist_x86, then popupplus will work, but no warranty about avatars. This component no depend only from GDI... On clean install WinXP and clean install Foobar it don't work. Maybe it needs Miranda? I don't use Miranda...

Bitmap bmp(artPath.c_str());
bmp.GetHBITMAP(Gdiplus::Color(0, 0, 0), &ppd.hbmAvatar);

copy & paste of unicode symbols to the formatting field does not work.
if i add the star symbols from arial unicode ms to the editing field and press "save all" they are replaced by questionmarks.

i am using the latest version of everything....

hi, formatting string is only saved as an ansi string, so unicode symbols doesn't work. This is because function used to create formated text is defined as bool compile (service_ptr_t< titleformat_object > &p_out, const char *p_spec) where p_spec is desired format stored in ansi string.

So how can i use unicode symbols with your plugin?

Unicode support mean, that if song title, artist (or anything else) is stored as an unicode string, it will be displayed correctly in popup window. In formatting field you can use foobar's script language described in titleformat_help.html in foobar directory.

$if($stricmp(%song_rating%,5),$get(RC1)?????????,
$if($stricmp(%song_rating%,4),$get(RC1)????????$get(RC2)?,
$if($stricmp(%song_rating%,3),$get(RC1)??????$get(RC2)???,
$if($stricmp(%song_rating%,2),$get(RC1)????$get(RC2)?????,
$if($stricmp(%song_rating%,1),$get(RC1)??$get(RC2)???????,
$if($or($not(%song_rating%),$stricmp(%song_rating%,0)),$get(RC2)?????????,
))))))

Sorry, but isn't p_spec UTF-8, like most other strings in foobar2000?  Just asking, I'm not sure about this.
But e.g. in the window title, status bar etc. it is possible to use unicode characters.

to cristox:
try to use you script in Display->Title Formatting option, if it works, then I will made a mistake, which will be repaired.

I tryed to copy & paste symbol U+2660 to Display->Title Formatting, 'Main window title' tab and it didn't work, but my ask for your question is no, you can't use unicode charactes in popup+ formatting string.

Sorry, but it is working here.
The unicode characters are not replaced by '?' in the title formatting editor field like in 'your' editor field.
If you change the 'editor font' in the title formatting editor to "Arial Unicode MS" you can see the symbols.

In 'your' editor field they are replaced  with '?' when hitting 'apply'

A bug:
1. Restart foobar2000.  Set "Show popup only if fb2k is minimized". Make sure that popupplus is set to show popups on pause/unpause
2. Start playback.
3. Minimize foobar2000.
4. Pause playback using a global shortcut key.  The popup should appear.  Wait for it to disappear.
5. Restore foobar2000.
6. Start playing another track by double clicking on it (not next/previous).
7. Minimize foobar2000.
9. Pause it again with a global shortcut key.  The popup will appear, but it will show info about the previous track!

Another bug:
I was trying to figure out how actions work.  (I would like to restore a minimized fb2k by clicking the popup.)  I created a new action using the Add button, but could not figure out what the "Command" field was for (are there any docs for this?).  So I thought that I'd delete this custom action, but whenever I click the Del button, foobar2000 crashes.  (On a related note:  "Build in" should be "Built-in".)

EDIT:  This is with version 20070926

And a feature request  :

Would it be possible to make the popup disappear instantly when using the built-in "close popup" action, even with a long fade delay?  When the popup gets in the way, I'd like to be able to close it instantly with a mouse click.

3) action buttons
you should execute another program with some parameters (like: notepad read.txt) but in this time built-in actions are quite unusable, i'm planning to add support for some variables like title, atrist, etc. so you should use google to find information about item or author ... (like: firefox www.google.com/search?q=%artist%+%title%)

Hope you enjoy it.

I don't know much about Miranda's plugin structures... does this work with YAPP as well?

Two minor bugs:

1.  The show popup menu item does not work when "Show popup only when fb2k is minimized" is set, and foobar2000 is not minimised.  One could argue that this menu item should always work.

2.  When the Actions pref page is shown, the group "Size & position" is always enabled.  When I uncheck "Enable popup actions", it gets disabled, but only until I navigate to another pref page and back.  The "Size & position" group should always be disabled when "Enable popup actions" is not checked.

And a minor feature request, if possible (but don't bother if it is not simple to implement):
Would it be possible to only show the popup on unpause, but not on pause?

I just wanted to drop in and thank you, Adam, this is a great plugin  And while I'm here, could someone explain what difference should the "Enable Aero Glass" checkbox make? I have Vista, and I have yet to spot a difference...
