[CRASHWARE] updated foo_uie_albumart

Reply #550 –
I'm stumped.  I must be missing something.  I even uninstalled foobar and reinstalled it with freshly downloaded components and rebooted.  Here's my config screens with components and Columns UI layout.  Note that when I used older versions of foo_uie_albumart I at least had the art panel show up but there was no provision in layout to add a panel.  Nothing like it shows in this thread or the wiki.

I know this has been brought up before, but now that foobar2000 does not remove image data from an MP3 tag, is their a possibility of adding support for embedded album art?

TIA

There's always a possibility, but the question is, who's going to do it?  I personally don't have any plans to add it as a feature.

That's completely understandable, hopefully someone else with coding knowledge could take a look at this and maybe add the support.  I wish I could do it, but I have no programming knowledge.

Thanks for the reply!

Using Foobar v0.9.2, albumart v0.2.1 and columns UI v0.1.3 beta 1v5!

I am having a big problem with the album art plugin which basically means I am unable to use it!  It slows my foobar down that much its just impossible to use it....when loading tracks esp it can take up to 30s to actually flick to the track and display the info etc...

At times it can even make foobar hang.

ANy ideas anyone?  Kinda desperate, one of the reasons I moved to Foobar was to have album art displayed and now I can't! 

Thanks

Maybe reinstall? delet foobar and install it again.
Or, if you haven´t done it allready, delet your albumart .dll, download it new and then put it again into the components directory, if then the problem still is there, i´m sorry that i couldn´t help you.

Keown: Try disabling the fading transition.  At least for me, that's the biggest resource-hog.  What OS/processor are you using?

one other bug ive noticed, and i apologize if this has been brought up, but when i play a game (ie NFSMW), the album panel goes gray when i exit out of the game and i have to restart foobar.

Thanks for the suggestions guys...

I tried the fresh install of Foobar and no luck.  And I had tried replacing the .dll file recently to try and solve it also.

Also tried disabling the fading but again no help - it doesnt even seem to be just when changing tracks now, its like even when I am say for example just going into the album art preferences, the whole program just freezes up and stops responding for a bit.

On Windows XP with Athlon 64, 3500 Processor so should be no problem there right?

I think I have the same problem. If I for example filter something in "Browser" component, it freezes foobar2000 sometimes even for 1 minute. Sometimes fb2k freezes just by clicking on another song (not actually playing it). If I disable Album Art, all problems are gone.

My current workaround is disabling "follow cursor" option. Btw. I use version 0.1763 with Matroska support.

Since I didn't develop that version (or at least, I didn't add Matroska support), I can't officially offer any support.  The last version I released was 0.2.1.  However, I'll assume for now that keown is using one of my versions, so this is something I can and should address.  Could you both list what components you're using?  (or just take a screenshot of "Preferences -> Components")

evo3: I'll see if I can recreate that bug with the demo version.  I'll try to fix it, too, unless I get hooked on the game

Exact version of columns ui is hidden. But Album list panel isn't the latest so it may be possible that columns ui isn't, too...

I just reproduced the problem with the latest official Album Art Panel. I knew I tried it before, but I wasn't really sure. Sometimes just clicking on another song means 10-20s delay and my HDD becomes very active. But if I disable "follow cursor" and a song is playing (so the album art doesen't change) the problem dissapears. Well not completely, but doesen't happen so often. If I disable Album Art completely, I have no more delays.

As for request for info on my components - I remember there was plugin which could list them. But I can't find it, can you help me?

Exactly this is my problem, too - but even worse, since all my music is stored on a network server. That said, if I have "follow cursor" activated and try to select another song from the list I have to wait up to 30 seconds before foobar comes back to me again. With "AlbumArt" deactivated the problems will also vanish, so I think this is the main source of the problem. Here is my configuration:

But it doesen't happen so often. It might depend on playlist size, I don't know. I'll try to explain more deeply what happens. If I click on different songs, the album art usually changes with a few seconds delay. That's O.K., my machine is rather slow. But sometimes (I would say randomly) fb2k hangs for quite a long time (20-30 seconds I'd guess) and I hear a lot of HDD activity. I think it might be a bug when Album Art searches for images on defined paths.

This lag would be foo_uie_albumart searching for images. Unfortunately, it does so in a way that blocks the user interface. The problem is especially pronounced, if your sources list ist large, has many wildcards, or references files on a slow drive (for example a network drive).

foosion> But my files are on a local drive (quite fast 200 GB SATA drive). I left all the source paths on default, so there were only 3 directories where to look for an album art. And furthermore, it hangs up randomly. So sometimes the ablum art is displayed within a few (2-3) seconds, but sometimes it takes up to 30 seconds. So I'm not really satisfied with your explanation, I think the problem must be elsewhere.

Is your music all in one big directory?

Try manually adding the sources, initially, just use this one:

"$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)*"

and have your album art in the same directory as an album.

This is definately not the cause, since older versions (at least the original AlbumArt panel) didn't produced this kind of odd behaviour. My sources list is exactly two entries "large" looking for "no cover art" and "cover art", the second one in the manner "folder.jpg", so I think this rules out the sources-idea... 
Another thing is that my network is based on a linux NFS share system which is blazing fast with all other things than album art.

What I will try now is to delete all references of album art, reinstall it using standard sources. I will report back if this has helped...
