foo_title, new version for 0.9

me again : I want to show a play/pause button dependant on the status of playback : stopped, paused or playing.

Here is the code :
Code: [Select]
        <layer name="Stopped" type="button">
            <geometry type="absolute">
                <size x="27" y="19" />
                <position x="$if($stricmp(%cwb_playback_state%,stop),56,505)" y="1" align="left" />
            </geometry>
            <contents>
                <action>
                    Play or Pause
                </action>
                <normalImg src="Play.png" />
                <overImg src="Play-Hover.png" />
                <downImg src="Play-Hover.png" />
            </contents>
        </layer>

        <layer name="Playing" type="button">
            <geometry type="absolute">
                <size x="27" y="19" />
                <position x="$if($stricmp(%cwb_playback_state%,play),56,505)" y="1" align="left" />
            </geometry>
            <contents>
                <action>
                    Play or Pause
                </action>
                <normalImg src="Play-Hover.png" />
                <overImg src="Pause-Hover.png" />
                <downImg src="Pause-Hover.png" />
            </contents>
        </layer>

        <layer name="Paused" type="button">
            <geometry type="absolute">
                <size x="27" y="19" />
                <position x="$if($stricmp(%cwb_playback_state%,pause),56,505)" y="1" align="left" />
            </geometry>
            <contents>
                <action>
                    Play or Pause
                </action>
                <normalImg src="Pause-Hover.png" />
                <overImg src="Play-Hover.png" />
                <downImg src="Play-Hover.png" />
            </contents>
        </layer>


2 issues :
- at startup, the titleformat code for "position" seems not to be evaluated. position x remains 0, and button displayed at wrong place  If i click on it, titleformat gets evaluated and button takes the correct position.

- when player is "stopped", titleformat for buttons position again is not evaluated.

I have tried using %isplaying% and %ispaused% instead of %cwb_playback_state%, makes no difference.

hi Quiark,
any chance that you will take a look at the non-working "foo_title enabled only when foobar is minimized" option on Vista and also on the problem of titleformat not evaluated in foo_title when foobar is started ?

Great plugin ! And this version, with a keyboard shortcut, is cool ! I have a question concerning the Album Art Filenames. My directory structure is similar to this :
Artist 1:
- Album 1
-- cover.jpg
- Album 2
-- front.png
Artist 2
- Album 1.1
-- folder.png
- Album 1.2
-- 012214587.jpg
As you can see, the album arts have not the same names, but there are always in the directory of the track which is played. How could I use title formatting string to show my album arts on foo_title, whatever name they could have ?

Thank you in advance.

Hello!
Love this plugin, and 've been using it for ages!!

However, I just installed Chrome and the tabs are on the uppermost part of the window, and that is precisely where I usually have my foo_title skin always on top (I use foolbar 1.2 as skin).

So, i'm a reall n00b and have never done a skin or anything, but I gave it a go, and decided to rotate the skin so I could fit it on the left of my screen.

Obviously the text didn't rotate so I was wondering if someone knows a way of rotating it.

thanks!

seb.

is this possible that in the next version of Your great plug to install titlebar into taskbar?

Hi, unfortunately, foo_title doesn't support rotated text. But it looks interesting, so I'm adding it to my TODO.

As for the taskbar, I'm not currently planning to do it..

Quiark, thanks very much for version 0.7.1. It works great. Since it doesn't hang Windows anymore on shutdown, I can keep it enabled all the time now. Great work!

One small request though still. When a stream changes songs, foo_title doesn't show up, only when a different playlist item is started. I would greatly appreciate it if you could build in the option to regard a stream changing song/title as a song beginning event.

Edit: Another small thing I noticed was that when skipping through playlist items, the counter for 'xx seconds on song start' isn't reset. It won't end 5 second after the song you started last, but 5 seconds after the first change. If you change songs in between, it won't lengthen the time the dialog is shown.

Edit2: Just noticed that when Foobar is killed by the OS during shut down and not by exiting foobar normally, foo_title disables itself by setting itself to never show.

Great plugin. It gives me an opportunity to control foobar without much real estate. I have just one question. I usually set it to show when foobar2000
is minimized. But when I minimize my foobar2000, it does not show up until the next song starts to play. Is this the intended behavior?

Thanks 

Changing on stream title change is almost done.

The thing with 'show xx seconds before/after' is rather broken. I'll take song change into account when I do something with it.

The thing with foo_title not showing on start is happenning to me as well and I was wondering what was the cause, thanks for discovering it

"Show only when foobar2000 is minimized" should work right away. Check if you have "All the time" checked in the Popup group. You can also try to set it to the other option and then back to reset it.

I have the same problem (it's a fairly minor issue though so I never raised much fuss over it)

Sweet, thanks for the reply and the work you put in this component.

HI, I'm using Windows Seven Beta, and I'd like to put foo_title on the task bar like that:


The problem is, as soon as I clik on the start menu or on the bar, foo_title go behind the bar and we can't see the title anymore,
I already check Always on top option.



Thanks for your help
Sorry for the bad english, I'm french .

Both foo_title and the taskbar are "Always on top" and therefore the active window is the topmost. There's nothing we can do about it. The only way is to use a builtin hack of foo_title which restores its topmost position every minute or so. You can enable it in the preferences of foo_title.

Hey,
could you possible add a little change so that if you click on the popup it brings up the main Foobar window please?
Reason being, with this little baby activated I've taken to minimising Foobar to the task tray to save some space, and it'd help immensely if I could click on the popup when I know I'm at the last song of my current playlist so I can add some more tunes...

Cheers.

Just create a button in your skin with the action "Activate" or "Activate or hide". If you make the button as large as the skin, it will work the way you want. I think the skin "Transparent" already has this button (a small one though).

Hi, I've discovered that high resolution cover images cause a significantly increased cpu usage. For most of my albums I've got cover art with resolutions ranging from 300x300 to 500x500. The cpu load is <5% usually. One album had a cover sized 2000x2000 and the cpu load while using foo_title went above 30%! I think you should look into that.  Maybe you're calculating the cover image on each check for a new song or something like that.

pyr0rrzzz,

that's very interesting for me. I don't use foo_title but Pretty Popup (foo_prettypop) and with large cover images my CPU load increases up to 75% and above.

First time I noticed that was after an upgrade of foobar itself whereas the Pretty Popup component has not been updated.

That's why I thought at that time that foobar has perhaps modified internally the way of handling image requests from third party components (sorry for my bad english).


This is HA. Not the Jerry Springer Show.

I really like foo title, but I have 2 problems, first, how can I add more than one form of name that appears on the cover of foo title?, i tried, but I can only with folder, I cannot add another because It doesn't recognize any of the 2, and the second question, I like having title foo visible, but it uses too much ram, as if it were maximized foobar, how can I do that consumption be less? 
(sorry for my bad english).

Enter the names of possible album art images separated by semicolon, for example
Code: [Select]
folder;albumart;cover


My foobar2000 with foo_title has "Mem usage" at 10 MB and "VM size" at 36 MB (in Task Manager). I don't use any fancy playlist plugin, just a simple Columns UI. How much do you have? It's not easy to reduce memory footprint...

Yes, I know about this. Will be fixed in the next version.

Thanks, now with the mem usage:

it is over 12 mb when always is showed, but when it hides its over 4 MB, i don't know why, i have 600 MB of Ram, the cpu usage its over 40, i want a simple music player, and i have only my columns ui with a couple of components, like auto enquequer or something like that and msn alt xD

foo title is an excellent plugin, i love it, i only have a request

can someone make a tutorial to make skins for foo title? i really want to make my own skin, but i don't know how 

(sorry for my terrible english  )

The documentation on making skins is at the home page http://foo-title.sourceforge.net/. There's also something on http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?ti...managedWrapper) but that is not complete.

Basically a skin is just a bunch of images and maybe some buttons and song titles. The description of a skin is written in XML, if you have no experience with it, just google any XML tutorial (you need only the absolute basics). It can be helpful to open someone else's skin to see how it is done and just copy-paste as needed
