Thx a lot...

I've already look at it, but unfortunately, the given informations aren't very ample...
But thx for the code, even if it doesn't seem to do exactly what I expected...
Maybe there's an url where I can find more informations, Google doesn't gave me results I hoped for? (questions, always questions  )

cwbowron: foo_browser overwrites the browser playlist on startup, this renders the "resume playback on startup" option useless. Could you change the behaviour, so that the playlist is only updated when you select an entry in the browser?

Any chance to get "Send to playlist", "Add to playlist" and "Send to new playlist" in the context menu, like Album List?

Also, drag-and-drop from a browser panel onto a playlist would be nice.

I may add those after I finish updating playlist tree, but that is a long process.  If I do implement it, I would probably develop an entirely different component that adds those items to the global context menu, and possibly some more.  If anyone else wanted to give that a try I could furnish them with some code that did something similar under 0.8.3

Searched the whole thread and found the same question - without an answer. But it's essential, I think: How can I force foo_browser to sort the created playlist by criteria determined by me (for example: browse by album, the playlist has to sort by tracknumber)?

Try "General->Sort incoming items by:" in the foobar preferences

Thanks a lot, that seems to work.
But wouldn't it be nice if you can configure the browser panels itself to sort by criteria (like foo_albumlist e.g.)?

Great component, that is the one I missed for a long time!!! Keep up the good work!

Is this not what the third edit box in Browser config allows? "Sort Criteria"? Or are you talking about something different?

I thought that, too. But doesn't work for me, or I have misunderstood the sense of that. A wiki would be nice...

Hi,
I was using playlist_tree with fb2k 0.8.3. Now I switched to 0.9 and foo_browser. My question is - can I somehow create dynamic playlists like I could with playlist_tree? For example 50 most played songs, never played songs, 100 highest rated etc. Thanks.

foo_browser is not foo_playlist_tree.
So you will be able to do that
- when foo_playlist_tree will be updated
- with autoplaylist (an official additionnal component)

Ok, i had this working not too long ago. but now that i switched my foo around again it doesnt do nothing but clear everything when i click on em. For example, i added all my music and it never showed up in the browser i click on ALL inside the browser and it just clears my playlist and i have to keep adding it all back again.

Ive tried resetting everything and starting over but it still gives me the same trouble. ANY idea why this is acting up now when it wasent before? thanks

EDIT: NVM I FIXED IT, JUST HAD TO RIGHT CLICK AND GO TO BROWSE INSIDE MY PLAYLIST

is it just me or when u load foo_browser for the first time and it tries to add all your tunes to the panels it goes nut memory usage wise
i saw it spike to 424mb of usage

i have 230gb of music so i usually expect a delay of sorts but this is crazy
this is similar to the way musikcube and itunes function and they are very quick so i am just wondering if i am doing something wrong

cwbowron, thanks for great browser component. Are you interested to fix the following bugs (if possible)?:
- playback follows cursor everytime i switch to different bwowsers playlist, no matter if i unchecked it in playback menu
- as someone mentioned before, resume playback at startup function becomes useless, because browsers playlist is always selected on startup
- doubleclick on statusbar to highlight now playing item when on different playlist doesnt work too

When I have foo_browser installed, the changes on files are not tracked by the media library anymore. So if I delete a file within foobar, it will remain in the library; if I rename a file using masstagger, the library will display both the old and the new name. To solve this I have to delete both the *browser* playlist and the foobar database.

Furthermore, rescaning the media library or resetting the browsers don't solve the problem.

Yeah, Ive got about 300gb and the loading delay is the only thing thats keeping me from using foo_browser now. I havent really used itunes much, so Im not sure if it has similar loading times, but I know that anytime I click "All" it ususally takes at least 25 seconds to populate the lists. I think what you need is some kind of caching mechanism to hold the contents of the lists until they are manually repopulated by the user.

If any programmers out there want to take a look at the code to see if they can improve the speed, let me know, I'll gladly share the code.

Suggestions for speed improvements:

1 - Don't use a Title panel.  Just use the browser playlist for browsing individual files.

2 - Sort by "*".  This lets me keep the display list in sorted order and I can shortcut the search.

thanks cwbowron i will try those ideas.
i know it must be hard trying to suit everyones requests and demands

especially when this to me seems more of an issue with the media library system itself rather then your component. when i rescan my media library it takes along time...

i think this is just an unfortunate side effect of the size of my music

I'm not using a title panel, mine just goes as far as album. Hopefully someone can speed up the code a bit.

Another suggestion to improve speed would be an option to disable the "all" entry on the first panel (parameter on a per panel basis); this would prevent from rebrowsing the entire library.

The problem is probably due to a duplicate in your media library... Try rescanning the media library...

I'm getting a problem..

When I select a genre or artist or whatever, it creates a new playlist, but when I change to another (genre, artist, etc) it create anooother one playlist and so...

it's ok?

i don't want to have loooots of playlists while browsing the items, and need to delete one by one.. ufff...


any suggestion?

What is your browser playlist set to?

If its somethign with TAGZ in it, change to something that doesnt involve TAGZ... i.e. "*Browser*"

Or do you wish that the component automatically removed its last playlist when it populates a new one?
