Hi @eracer,

to be able to display more label logos you just need to have multi values in %label%.

Select the whole album in the playlist via clicking on the album cover thumbnail, right click > Properties ( or Alt + Enter ).
In the label field fill the value with the record label names, i.e "Warner; Rhino".
Then right click on the label value > Split values > OK.
Finally reload the theme via right clicking on the big album cover for context menu > Reload theme.
Now in Details it should display both.

This is great and looks cool eracer,

you know what, I have created an extra thread where user can show/post and share their custom placeholders on Github discussions at the Github site.
Instead of posting it here, this will be better for all users because it will be borrowed after some posts.

For anyone interested here is the new thread:
https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/discussions/85

You only need to make a free Github account and start posting.

Thanks!

@eracer, you can copy your post and post it again there 8)

Help Tom is it possible to change the parameter in the "program File" by my self then the most of my 1500 Album are Tagged with %PUBLISHER% for "Label" Tag?

and is there a option wenn i close the player for save the last position in Album overview? Wenn i close the player alwasy jump back to first Position of Album view.

An i found out that the integrated tagger "Properties" dosnt work with my DSD Files -> DSF; DFF Files then i can not use "Split values" feature: The Mp3Tag tool dosent have this option

Hi Enrico,

%label% or %publisher% will behave the same, you just need to have multi values or else only one logo will be displayed.

I don't understand what you meant by "Album overview" but the Playlist will always remember the last position.
If you want to have it the same in the Library, activate in top menu Options > Library > Always remember library state

It's been a very very long time since I've used Mp3Tag because Mordred's foo_MusicBrainz component ( which is already pre-installed ) or
foo_discogs are much better with auto-tagging.

I have tested it and in Mp3Tag you just add a new field if you go to left site and right click > Customize.
Now click on the Star icon ( Add field ), and name it in your case Publisher in field and name. Click OK.
Now you have the additional publisher tag field, for multi-values you just make \\ , e.g: Warner\\Rhino.
Save it and reload the theme, now it should be also displayed in Details with both label logos.

Hi @user47656789,

you also need to configure it in the library view patterns.
In the library panel click on the hamburger menu ··· > Views > Configure views...

Example for View by Artist:
Code: [Select]
%artist%|[%album%]|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%
to strip:
Code: [Select]
$stripprefix(%artist%)|[%album%]|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%
or to swap:
Code: [Select]
$swapprefix(%artist%)|[%album%]|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%

Example for View by Album Artist:
Code: [Select]
%album artist%|[%album%]|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%
to strip:
Code: [Select]
$stripprefix(%album artist%)|[%album%]|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%
or to swap:
Code: [Select]
$swapprefix(%album artist%)|[%album%]|[[%discnumber%.]%tracknumber%. ][%track artist% - ]%title%

Hi @TT

At config, set the theme to use custom fonts. They can be changed on the .jsonc file.
Options > Settings > Theme fonts > Use custom theme fonts
.\profile\georgia-reborn\georgia-reborn-config.jsonc

Hi @francesco,

glad you like the theme. Unfortunately with SMP at the moment this is not doable.
The script uses the gdi.Font method that checks if the user has installed all the fonts on the system that are included in the zip,
so not be able to install the fonts at work because of permission restrictions is bad news.

I don't know if this would be even possible ( because maybe the fonts need to be registered -> installed anyways to be able to use them ),
but maybe @TheQwertiest could implement a new method that can load fonts via pointing to a custom directory?
Maybe @marc2k3 could comment on this?

Btw the latest version is not on the main Github site ( half year old version ), but in the Github discussion Beta thread here.

Windows 10/11 users don't need admin rights to install fonts. They can be per-user. And of the users left running 7/8.1, most will have no issue installing anything they want on their own PCs.

So all you have left is the extreme edge cases of one or 2 people using obsolete operating systems where they don't have rights. I say.... **** em. Why would anyone waste their time on this? It's not worth it.

@francesco,

just to be sure did you try to install the fonts from the zip by just selecting them all > right click > Install.

I'm asking because most users just copy them into C:\Windows\Fonts and with this method you could have
permission restrictions ( C:\Windows ) on your work computer but maybe with the method above it could work...

Well TT, I'm happy to report that I finally got the fonts to work - using my default Wine prefix seemed to do the trick. Unfortunately I came across another much more severe problem; Georgia crashes about 1/3 of the way through scanning my media library. The crash log says "Access violation, operation: write, address: 009876F0h." I have a huge library with lots of alternate media such as videos, ebooks, pictures, etc. I also have a fair amount of odd Unicode, foreign, and full-width characters in the folder structure to get around illegal character restrictions back when I was on Windows.

This is also happening on Mordred's older Georgia too now so I suspect it has something to do with one of the dll overrides you recommended to me earlier. Since there is no drag and drop I'm pretty much out of luck.

Does anybody have any idea what this could be? It doesn't seem to point to any one specific file, foobar just closes without warning every time about 3 minutes after scanning my library. I can post the crash log if need be. Thanks

Hi @NewLeaf42,

never had problems with the media library on Linux, I also have indexed music with special chars.
Maybe it's a problem because your directory also has mixed up media ( video, ebooks, pictures ).
Why don't you just try a directory that has pure audio music? To further debug the issue, I would start with
scanning small content and not your whole music collection and see if it works, then index more music etc.

If that does not help, it could be an old Wine version you're using that is buggy.
I don't think the dll overrides are causing this, because then I would also have problems.
Also be sure to use the latest Georgia-ReBORN version from here, not the one from the main Github site.

Playlist drag and drop works only if you have the Wine browser open, you can open it in the theme
for example via top menu File > Add files. While the window is open, you can then drag and drop music to the playlist.
Drag and drop on Wine/Linux will be fixed as soon as TheQwertiest fixes it in his SMP component.

TT,

I'm sure it would work with a smaller library. It can play music just fine when I manually choose files through File > Open. However I just tried this again on a fresh new 32 bit Wineprefix, and I got this error at around the same time as last time:



Do you know what any of this means? This happens closer to 15 minutes after it starts scanning. As soon as that 03a0:err:wmvcore line shows up, it's over. Georgia crashes

Ah, sorry about that. Installing winbind and then adding vcrun2015 to the prefix actually fixed it.

The skin seems to be working, but I'm not sure if I did something to mess with my fonts. Aren't the details values on the left (Label, Genre, etc.) supposed to be in bold? It says I have all fonts installed in the screenshot below (resized for convenience):



Also is there no support for CJK characters? It looks like anything I have in Chinese or Japanese is not showing up:



If need be, I know that this can be remedied by going into winecfg and adding font fallbacks to the registry. I have a font with a huge amount of characters called wqy-microhei that I found on github along with the proper regedits. It's what I was using before.

And lastly, is there a .json file or something that I can edit to add a "Composer" field to the Details pane? I did it on the other Georgia but it was so long ago I don't remember how.

Thank you for your continued support.

@NewLeaf42, glad you fixed your issues.

Yea there are some tedious issues when using Wine with fonts...
Your example with the first screenshot showing the "fontGridKey" ( should be semibold ) is rendered differently than on Windows.
I will add a fix for that in the next Beta update, if you want you can try it out yourself, open gr-main.js and change:
Code: [Select]
const fontGridKey       = pref.customThemeFonts ? themeCustomFont.fontGridKey       : 'HelveticaNeueLT Pro 55 Roman'; // Theme font used in metadata grid
to
Code: [Select]
const fontGridKey       = pref.customThemeFonts ? themeCustomFont.fontGridKey       : DetectWine() ? 'HelveticaNeueLT Pro 65 Md' : 'HelveticaNeueLT Pro 55 Roman'; // Theme font used in metadata grid

Now the issue with the Asian glyphs is a common problem when using Wine, because in Windows there is an automatic fallback
and they ( Chinese, Korean, Japanese ) are rendered correctly. There are walkarounds on the web how to set font callbacks on Wine/Linux but haven't tried it myself.
You could also try other fonts that have all Asian glyphs included and use the custom font option in top menu
Options > Settings > Theme fonts > Use custom fonts. Then open your config file in foobar2000\profile\georgia-reborn\georgia-reborn-config.jsonc.
Go to the section "themeCustomFont" and change the font/family name to your new custom font.
If you go that route, I recommend to use fonts that include some styles, e.g: thin, light, semibold, regular, bold.

To add the composer in the Details metadata grid, open the georgia-reborn-config.jsonc file and go to section "metadataGrid":
Now add a new entry, e.g:
Code: [Select]
{ "label": "Composer", "val": "[%composer%]" },

I just fixed it!

Here's what I did in the exact order that I did it, use this if you like:

A while back I was Googling this exact issue and came across a thread on github that led me to this font:
https://github.com/anthonyfok/fonts-wqy-microhei/blob/master/wqy-microhei.ttc

I installed it (on Linux) then downloaded this registry file:
https://gist.github.com/swordfeng/c3fd6b6fcf6dc7d7fa8a#file-chn_fonts-reg

I ended up having to open it in my IDE to add Segoe UI and a few others to the list. Here's what mine looks like:

However, this still isn't enough:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You have to go back into Winetricks and install allfonts for your prefix, then it should work. I don't know the exact technical reasons for why that fixed it when Wine had microhei as a fallback anyway. Maybe this will be helpful to you

Oh, and if you know of any other fallback fonts that would be better, let me know. Clearly the microhei one was just made for people who want Chinese characters, but somehow it has a bunch of Unicode and Japanese as well. I also think you can add multiple fallbacks to one font
