Does anyone know how to use the Firefox "Quicksearch" function?
Basically I want to search a site that doesn't support adding search parameters in the address bar. Firefox is able to add the search in the search box.

I'm looking for something like
Code: [Select]
c:\program files\mozilla\firefox\firefox.exe cover %album%


Any idea?

here's an alternative way to search allmusic for albums (sometimes allmusic's search is just too clunky):

Code: [Select]
'http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=intitle%3A%22'$replace(%album%, ,'+')'%22+%2Bintitle%3A%22overview%22+%2Bsite%3Aallmusic.com&btnG=Google+Search'

I've run into a problem. I'm not sure if it is foo_runs fault, or a bug in foobar itself, but I can't seem to run any of my custom run services from buttons (not track display buttons, but the kind that are like the ones that default with foobar).

Has anyone else experienced this? I have foobar 0.9.4.3 and foo_run 3.2.

Any help would be great!

Well, it was very simple for me 
I use firefox, and I have Cover.Paradise in my "quick search" bar (the one on the right of adress bar).
Then, i've made a search with any "artist album" and it give me "&SearchString=artist+album" that was missing you at the end of your link some post above. I've tested it with a run service before posting it here.
I'm glad I could helped you. 
Cheers.

You're welcome !
do you know "Album Art Downloader" ? it has a script to retrieve for Cover.Paradise, and can save the images it found, automatically in an appropriate folder...

No, don't know it.
I use Foobar and each album gets it's covers.
I created a floating bar just for tagging and organizing using foo_run and foo_dockable_panels:

Talking about Album Art Downloader
Quote from: John Doe on
No, don't know it.

If you have 10 minutes to kill try it.
Got to this topic, download last version and install it wherever you want (I've made an "ExternalApps" folder in foobar2000 installation folder)
Then, make a run service with this :
Code: [Select]
Label:
Covers
Path:
C:\Program Files\foobar2000\ExternalApps\AlbumArtDownloader\albumart.exe -ar "$if2(%album artist%,%artist%)" -al "%album%" -p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)Folder.jpg"

Replace "C:\Program Files\foobar2000\ExternalApps\AlbumArtDownloader\albumart.exe" by the path of your Album Art Downloader program folder's intallation.
And instead of 'Folder.jpg' you can also put 'Front.jpg' or 'Back.jpg' whatever you want...
I've made for myself 5 run service scripts with appropriate labels:
Code: [Select]
[...]-p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)Folder.jpg"
[...]-p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)Cover\Front.jpg"
[...]-p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)Cover\Back.jpg"
[...]-p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)Cover\Inlay.jpg"
[...]-p "$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%,)Cover\CD.jpg"

Then, you can use this script with a button in your floating 'tag bar'
Try first code, maybe it will save you some time, when you search all album art.
And Album Art Downloader comes with some usefull script to find more Art (CoverIsland, Google, Discogs, Cover.Paradise, Freecover... etc...)

This is the foo_run topic and my explanation about Album Art Downloader is gonna be somehow off topic ; I prefer not to pollute it too much more so don't hesitate to PM me for more details, you're welcome, and i can share my run service scripts if you need more.

I am having trouble getting this program to run.

c:\windows\system32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0


I wanted to create a button to turn off the machine from inside Foobar.


FOUND SOLUTION:

I found out that the "Item group" setting for Run service buttons has to be set to "Now Playing Item" or Current Playlist Selection".

hi. maybe someone can help me cause I really have no idea how to do this, and if it's possible

I have crated a button inside a track info mod panel to open minilyrics, creating an instance for foo run with this path: C:\Program files\Minilyrics\MLStart.exe

minilyrics is running in the background, and when I click it shows up. but then I have to right click and then select "download lyrics" (or type "D"), for the download lyrics windows to show. What I want is to bring up this download window without having the main minilyrics window open first..

Is this possible? I'm thinking that I need some kind of parameter after the path, but I have no clue..

Inside the minilyrics installation folder there is only this .exe file I can point to..

I'll really appreciate any help with this. thanks

Is it possible to access webradio stream artist/title information?
Using %title% or %artist% only gives me the standard information (no artist, title= the name of the station, which is also displayed in the playlist when not connected to the stream

no. foo_run as most of the other components don't access dynamic titles for some reason. i was asking for the same thing to be implemented but without answer from any developer  here is foosions explanation that pinpoints the nature of the problem. so...

Does anybody know what i could try to fix????


(sorry for the large image size, first time posting on imageshack)


You probably have Control Panel/Display/Settings/General/Display set to large font, like I do. This issue is not resolved by ResizeEnabler. To reset this feature you need to reboot, so changing it back to normal is not a quick fix. I need the larger fonts to see what I'm doing (don't worry it'll happen to you someday.)

Supposedly if a program is properly coded this problem shouldn't happen. This circumstance and CopyToDvd are the only programs I've come across which fail to display correctly.

Any followup on this issue anyone?
I too, am experiencing this issue and it's a little frustrating...

Not sure if this works for everyone but a select few (component conflict)? Or something else?
There's been a couple questions raised on the topic, but I can't find a solution.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you.

EDIT:
Found answer.

Problem solved. When linking a button to a runservice, the default "Item Group" is set to None. You need to set it to Now playing item in order for the button to work. You can also use Current playlist selection but that will only work if an item is selected in your playlist (no item selected, button doesnt work).

Thanks to original poster...

Hi there,

I am using Windows x64 and when trying to start a program from my programs folder I only get an Explorer window with the wrong programs folder.

I am guessing that's because the programs folder on x64 for 32bit applications is "Program Files (x86)" and the brackets need to be escaped.
How would I do that?

Thanks for any help!
