I think I requested this feature before, but I want to make sure. It would be great if there was an option to disable populating the playlist when selecting "[All]."  It would still populate the other browser panels, but NOT the browser playlist. This would be very useful for setups with really large libraries because we could reset subpanels to show everything without having to wait for a huge playlist to load.


Aren't the browser panels slower than the browser playlist?

Not when your playlist is being populated by 30,000+ tracks.

I want to report a rather small bug in the display of panels.  The panels do not fully expand to the total width of the given panel, and there is a little space at the furthest right portion of each panel.  I can manually adjust the panels so that they fully expand to the total width of the panel, but each time I refresh the panels they go back to not fully expanding to the total width of the given panel.



Since I never received any response to this issue, I am still wondering if anyone is experiencing this same problem?

I'm sure people have read your message. It's quite narcissic to quote yourself...

In any case, If you're talking about what I think, it's normal and I doubt anyone will care.

First, I merely quoted myself for the purpose of posting the issue for which I received no response.  I was wondering if this issue was specific to me or a generally known issue with browser.  Second, your rather rude reply is certainly unjustified.  Third, I take strong issue with respect to your contention that no one cares about a display glitch in this plugin.  Obviously, I care.  Also, I would suggest that a lot of other foobar users care a great deal about the appearance of their foobar, which is clearly evidenced by the fact that some of the most popular threads on this forum are dedicated to tweaking the appearance of foobar, and the messages contained therein demonstrate the substantial efforts people make to correct even the smallest display issues related to foobar and its components.

Yes, it is a small bug.  I added it to the known bugs list which you can find on the foo_browser homepage at http://wiki.bowron.us/index.php/Foobar2000#foo_browser

I don't always respond to every posting here, but I usually add the bugs people post to that list.  Same thing with feature requests, so if you want to know if something is a known bug or a requested feature you can check out that page.

Thanks for the reply.  At least now I know it is nothing on my end.

Im trying to figure out the behavior of foo_browser. I want to basically use it to browse my library to get to songs more quickly, then add those files to a queue or playlist. Currently it seems that whatever is selected in the browser IS the queue/playlist.

I have my fb2k set up much like a traditional winamp/itunes. I have the artist/album/genre columns on the right over a columns playlist panel, which I basically want to use as a library panel. On the left, I have a panel that I wish to use as a playlist queue.

I hope I was clear. Can anyone help me?

Hi. Great component, I just added it and works great

One newbie question: I copied this string (or whatever it's called) from this topic: ['('%date%') ']%album%  and now my albums show "(2001) Album"
How can I do it so that it shows "2001 - Album"

I tried ['%date% - ']%album% but then the date does not show, only the album
help please? thanks

I think

[%date% - ]%album%

is what you're after.  The two quotes (') have fouled things up.

Cheers,

Well I was playing around tweakng my foobar and came up with a  browser panel that lets me pull all the different remixes of a given song from everywhere in my library and dump them on a playlist.  It all hinges on a song title ending in '(remix name)' so there's bound to be a few songs out there that dont work. But still I like the column and thought I'd share. Here's the code:

Code: [Select]
$trim($left(%title%,$sub($strrchr(%title%,$char(40)),1)))


I use this in conjunction with other panels such as Artist. Though I suppose if you used it on it's own it would give you all the remixes of all the songs with the same name regardless of artist.

I would like to make a feature request.

Under the current foo_browser there is an option in the preferences pane called "Browser Playlist" that allows us to define the name of the playlist foo_browser uses to display it's results. This field already supports TAGZ, so we could for example enter "%genre%" and foo_browser will display it's results in a playlist named after the genre of the song.  The problem (as I see it) is the fact that the TAGZ is only evaluated during the first result. So in this genre example, if your foo_browser resulted in a bunch of songs with different genres.. all songs would appear on a playlist named after the genre of the first song.  What I would like to request is that this TAGZ filtered destination playlist be re-evaluated for every entry. So that, continuing with the example, the results would all appear gouped on separate playlists each named after the songs' genre.

My primary intenton would be to whip up some code to split my albums and singles into 2 separate playlists, each dynamically filtered by multiple foo_browser panels.

Thank you so much for making foo_browser.
It is a truly useful component.

Here is the way I am using foo_browser.

First a close up:

Thanks for a wonderful component, finally any thoughs to switch from foobar to musikCube or wxMusik are gone :-) One question however: Isn't the count for the number of albums etc. one too high if there are files which miss the album etc. tag? IMHO "<MISSING>" should not be counted as an album.

EDIT: Another great thing would be to be able to drag & drop entries from the browsers to playlists.

I need help making a query that shows the most played tracks within the last 7 days. I know $ifgreater($cwb_datediff(%cwb_systemdatetime%,%last_played%),7,,%play_count%), but don't know where or if that is even right.

foo_browser

Reply #619 –
That'S not possible
%play_count% stores the times the song has been played - since you first played it.

There is no way to get the times you played a song within the last seven days.

How come every time I double click a file, it loads it to "default" playlist but starts playing the first song in the first artist of my *browser*?

Irritating, anyone know why it might happen?  Only started after I started using foo_broswer.

I installed foo_uie_browser, but I'm having some problems.



As you can see in the picture I set the %ALBUM ARTIST% as Amon Tobin, then I set the %ARTIST% tag on a track per track basis. However, this presents a problem.



When I click on Solid Steel it only lists the tracks by %ARTIST% = Amon Tobin and %ALBUM% = Solid Steel. It also lists the different artists as completely separate artists. Is there any way to make the Browser component work with my directory structure (like Album List)?

this component does not currently support multiple values per field, this is documented on the component's main wiki as a feature request.

if you would like to parse directory structure you'll need to change your browser panel source to something using $directory(%path%,n) depending on your structure instead of %artist%.

How would I go about doing that? I don't see any such option in  Browser settings.
