That is very difficult. I'm making heavy use of rather unusual (not used by games) OpenGl features (seperate texture loading and rendering thread etc.). And OpenGl on a PC output or multi-monitor system is a very difficult topic. I guess I can't help you there. The last version brought heavy internal changes, that are quite likely the reason for your problem. Sry, you'll have to stay with the old version.
The crash is in your drivers (nvoglnt -> NV=Nvidia, OLG=OpenGl, NT=WinNT), that's a black box for me. I do not have the resources to do extensive testing with your specific setting and implement a workaround .

i ve got one prob: i ve got many folder with only one or 2 tracks and i want chronflow to ignore these. (or ignore files with no album tag)
To ignore files with no album tag: "album MISSING". You should move the complete albums into another subdirectory as the single tracks (that's the way I do it), then you can use %_path% HAS "\full-albums\").

is there a way to do the opposite: put all singles in a \singles\ directory and ignore it ? (less work to do ^^)
thx in advance

You should only quote the part of the message that is relevant - not everything.

NOT %_path% HAS "\singles\

On my single tracks I've removed the track numbers and are using 'Tracknumber IS *'
Works better than the groupings I've tried in the past.

I have some issues with my gpu driver and chronflow. (my gpu: radeon 9600)

Using chronflow 0.3 is only possible with catalyst 7.12 to 8.4 (which is the newest), a lower catalyst version will result in an error message saying:

"TexLoader: Can't Set The PixelFormat." and
"ImgTexture Leak: 2"

But unfortunately a lot of my games installed won't run without problems if I update to anything newer than catalyst 7.11.

So I found out that catalyst 7.11 installs openGL 2.0 and that the catalysts 7.12 upwards install openGL 2.1.
Could this be the problem? (Because you once said that having openGL 1.5 is enough, Chronial).
And is there any way I could install openGL 2.1 without upgrading the catalyst driver?

No, this is not the problem - I meant what I said. The Error you are getting is completely unrelated to your OpenGL version.

"Windows Script Control not installed. ... "

in earlier versions of chronflow there was an option tu run it in separate window. i wanted to try new version yesterday but cannot found it anywhere in menu now. console doesnt output anything wrong so it looks like component should work. was the "separate window mode" removed completly for sake of panels or am i missing the right menu item somewhere?

you could make use of panelsui's popup function to do this: http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...nd.2Coptions.29

My video card is a Radeon mobility x600

I have a Radeon x600 series graphics card if that helps.
You just founded a club . Sry - this is obviously a problem with your GPU. I cannot fix that without having the card for testing. Game companies spend lots of time and money to ensure compatibility with every buggy openGL implementation. I have neither that time nor that money ^^. I guess all you  can do is use the old version and hope that a future one will work again (though chances are not very good).


So no way of fixing it huh? Damn that sucks! This plugin is awesome!

I have to track down the drivers for this video card. it's built-in and the computer cost $250 and came with Lindows :U

Can you point me to the links - or in the right direction by any chance?

EDIT: I just updated my drivers Properly and it now works error free! Just seems A LOT slower that's all. What's up with that?
When I click on an album it can take up to a second or so for Chrowflow to react...
Transitions once the album art is moving is very clean though...

First of all i wanted to thank you for this beatiful plugin! It looks really pretty!
And I think its way better than the "original".

But I have also a question: Is it possible that Chronflow only shows me the artworks of songs which are in the active playlist?

So i could remove my at facets my album column with chronflow 

I didn't found an option for it but also I do not understand every field maybe it exists
and if not is it planned?

greetz and thanks plissk3n!

On my friend's computer some album art shows up just as white squares, while some show up normally, as do the No Cover images. What info do you need about his computer? any test images needed?
It's very nice (only 2 years old?)
Dual nvidia GeForce 7800
dual core AMD opteron 185
2.6 GHz
2 GB ram


on the other hand, he can run the 3.0 version of Chronflow and it looks really fantastic

First I want to say thanks for all the work on this plugin, it's awesome!!!! I've been having some difficulties and I've read all 18 pages of this thread, a ways back there was mention of a guide or a manual for chronflow. Could someone please post a link for that?

Hi Chronial, thanks for this excellent plugin  It's made my foobar so much more beautiful.

I have what seems like a very simple problem, and it seems strange to me that no one else has it, but I've searched the forum and all the pages of this thread and I can't find anything relevant, so... basically, I'm experiencing very severe flickering on the Chronflow panel. It doesn't matter what performance settings I use. I've read the manual, I've tried many combinations of settings, and no matter what it still flickers crazily especially when I move the fb2k window.

What could possibly be causing this? I'm using 0.9.5.1 and PUI 0.14.12. My chipset is an Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML and I have the latest graphics drivers installed. Any help is appreciated!

Your GPU sucks. Sry, but that's the way it is. Intel does have no reason to write good OpenGL drivers for that chip, so they don't.

Sry - I can't help you, and unless you find good drivers, there is no help.

Ha, I guessed it might be something like that. One of the worst things about having a laptop is the sucky integrated chipsets... oh well, thanks for your help anyway and keep up the great work

As an aside, after switching to a Columns UI layout just to test out Chronflow, I can confirm that the flickering is far less severe in CUI... so much so that it is negligible. I'm not sure why this should be the case, but I'm happy enough to live in CUI for now so that I can continue to use this component!

i love this plugin. One thing I can't figure out is how can i set it to ignore my singles folder. eg C:\Music\Singles

This is a great plugin! This is what drove me into using foobar. Not exactly newbie freidnly foobar is

Is there a way for the plugin to try to look at the %band% tag as well as the %album artist% tag when grouping a CD together?
Album Artist is not a standard tag and many software remaps ACC album artist field to Band anyway.
It's a shame the Album Artist is not handled to look at Band too in Foobar

You should be careful with such comments when you are new to a community. Neither the Album Artist nor the Band tag are official standarts.
So none of both are "right". Anyways - foobar can't handle the band tag as album artist, since they have different semantics.
But about your initial question:

Of course there is. Just have a look at the foobar titleformat reference and the grouping field in this plugin's settings.
