Hello everyone


This seems to be a great job, but this config do not work on my foobar... Ibiza and Kung-Foo config work very well, but this one doesn't. When I launch the application, I have this error message :

Code: [Select]
Failed to load DLL: foo_menu_addons.dll
Reason: Cette application n'a pas pu démarrer car la configuration de l'application est incorrecte. Réinstaller l'application pourrait résoudre ce problème.


I've search on the internet, but did not find any clue...

Can someone help me ?

Can the author somehow add some features in this great skin?

An icon that will displayed next to the playcounter on ELPlaylist when there is [Lyric] tab embedded inside the song?

why not


Hopefully there'll be an update on it.

What should I configure so that whenever I click on a letter on the menu [A-Z] the playlist will only display album for that letter. I already changing %album artist% to %album% on the setting for the menu.

Currently what it did was when I click a letter, say M, the playlist will show the album starting with M at the center. Other non-M letter album is still displayed.

Second question:
How can I enable the sorting method (preset default) as default every time I click an album from the album panel list for ELPlaylist to sort by album title alphabetically (some album didn't sort by that way). Now I need to right click the option every time I choose an album group/genre. I already change the Group and Sort method of ELPlaylist to %album%.

Go to the "Edit" menu of fb2k, and select "Sort", and then you can either use one of the main options, or use "Sort By" and create your own.  Also, in fb2k's preferences you need to go to the "General" section and change the sort order there.  Yes, it is a bit of a pain, but that should cover your problem.

I use this for sorting my library:
Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($left(%album artist%,4),The ),$right(%album artist%,$sub($len(%album artist%),4))', 'The,%album artist%) - %album% - %codec% - $num(%tracknumber%,2)


Also, your playlist you are using is probably locked, which is why it will only highlight the letter of the alphabet you choose, rather than show only the letter you choose.
EDIT: Actually, even my unlocked playlist still just highlights, doesn't really filter.  Hmmmm...

It's a nice idea.. but that brings another idea to my mind: what about automatically switching the lyrics-panel between lyrics and let's say an info-panel with details about the songs or whatever based on the existence of a lyrics-tag.. ? Something like that could also be done for the artwork-panel.

Don't know if it's really that cool when the interface changes somehow but it may be a cool feature

Thanks for the info. Changing the sort option to %album% in General tab really works.

You did mentioned about locked playlist, but I can't see such feature?

Btw, here's what I manage to come out so far after using and modifying this great skin for 2 days:

I was also thinking about those buttons (at the bottom, arrows), it would be nice to choose between different infos on this tab by pressing them.

Perhaps it is because the Graphical Browser component that is used for the alphabetic index is not a media library viewer, but simply a playlist panel? So it cannot create playlists (like one with only album titles starting with a particular letter).

Actually, I was just able to test something that I thought of earlier...but had been AFK.  If you right-click on the alphabet section, and pull up the settings and select the "Other" tab, you can make a change to the behavior when using "Single-Click" or "Double-Click", etc.  If you change the "Single-Click" behavior from "default" to "send to playlist[replace]" and either use the setting for the playlist name below or change it to whatever you want.  After saving those changes, whenever you select a letter above the playlist view, it will now only show artists (or albums if you go that route) from the letter you choose, not just focus.  Also, you can move from letter to letter without having to go back to your full music library.

EDIT: I should have waited after testing something else.  If you stay in that list when you close fb2k, when you reopen, your alphabet will only have the letter for the group displayed.  You would then need to go back to your full library list to get the full view again.

EDIT #2: The point above is remedied by going to the "File" menu, then go to "Startup Playlist" and select the full library list.  At least that is what I have done.  Now, everything is perfect.  Love this config!

I second that, I have a large collection of classic and instrumental music which obviously don't have any lyrics. So most of the time I don't need the lyrics panel. Having something that will display all the details of a track would be more interesting then "no lyrics found".

Great, Great, upload Br3tt, thanks alot.

Quick noob question that i have never got around too. Whats the best way to go about changing the titlebar style? Mine is still basically the default and it sticks out like a sore thumb. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Actually, if you look at D.Sync's picture posted a few posts up, D.Sync changed the "..." or Info section in the lower right to show track information, rather than Br3tt's very cool "Curacao" image.

I think it might be cool to keep showing the "Curacao" image when in a stopped state, but once playback begins, perhaps show track info.

Great Foobar theme! I like it, but I have a few questions:

1. How do you get the exact visualization and info under the artist/album in the music list?

2.When I play files with this, they are edited in some way (I'm assuming the info is changed); how can I play the files without changing the original file AT ALL?

3.When you highlight a track, it plays that track next instead of the next one after the previously played song. Is there any way to disable this?

4.I can't seem to figure out how to set the number of stars to zero .

You need to make sure that the Milkdrop2 plugin and visualizations are installed, plus you need the NSCRT.dll (from Winamp) placed into the foobar2000 directory.  The rest is a matter of changing settings.  Some of which is discussed in this thread.

Based on the config settings and components that Br3tt includes, by default, lyrics and playback statistics are automatically added as tags.  You would need to go to the settings for both components to change this.

You would need to change your playback order.  Go to the "Playback" menu, go to "Order" and change it accordingly.  Default plays in order of the list.

You should be able to use the rating section on the left hand side.  I personally don't rate my music.

I gave you some direction on what to do, but since you are new to HA forums, you really should read this thread, as well as information specifically on foobar2000.  Welcome to the forum!

As requested: (Do note that the font of the info will not change to a smaller one if you shrink foobar2k, best viewed on 1280x800 since that's the resolution of my workaround).

You'll need to have the following custom tags:
- %publisher%
- %released_date%
- %catalog%
and
- Font (Maiandra GD)

*Paste it as 'Per Second' script and enable [Per Second] as the bitrate displayed is dynamic (VBR).

* I've been trying to figure out too, eg: change back to Curacao original background when song is not playing but I couldn't figure the function. I had tried %el_isplaying% and %ps_isplaying% but no avail. Hopefully someone can modify it.

* I choose Imageshack because it offers fast upload and doesn't require membership to upload.

Actually, if you keep the "Per Track" section as is, and then add in your code in the "Per Second" section, then it just overlays the info on the Curacao image.  You could reposition so it doesn't cover up the center portion.  I also wonder if %_isplaying% will work instead?

Ops, I guess I forgot to mention that I actually delete the entire code in the Per Track section for it to work.

Btw, wanna ask what function should I use to find a x position whereby it is 'n' pixels from the end of the line.

Eg:

|>>> Technical Info >>>                                  Tag Info:            [30 pixels from end]|

And how can I modify the font color?

If you click the "List" button at the bottom of the editor window, when "Functions" is showing in the drop-down, you will find a "$drawtext" function.  The options include "r-g-b".  Or you should also be able to use "$puts" functions to create your own variables.  Not sure about your other request.

I'll try that.

Do you know how to solve my first question in the previous post?

-> How to read a x-coordinate 'n' pixels from the total width

EDIT: The $drawtex function doesn't work effectively as I need to type the coordinate for each words I like to change color: (Why did the developer removed the $rgb function... T.T which would make things easier)

Eg:

[Red] Bitrate: [White] %bitrate%
[Red] Codec: [White] %codec%

Ok, I was just verifying that the visualization was from Milkdrop and not something else.

Lyrics are embedded into the song? Didn't know that heh, anyway to not embed them in the file? The lyrics are set to auto download and "save to configuration folder". Where is that exactly, and why is the file affected if the lyrics are saving somewhere else?

You would need to change your playback order.  Go to the "Playback" menu, go to "Order" and change it accordingly.  Default plays in order of the list.


Maybe I wasn't clear, it plays in order of the list regularly, but if I wanted to browse to another section of the list and highlight another song, instead of playing down the list it skips to the highlighted song. My Order has always been on Default btw.

Yea, but I cant' seem to completely eliminate the rating, I can only get it down to one star. Does rating change the composition of the song?

Thanks for all your help and thanks for the welcome!

anyone know how I could replace the lyrics show with album list and still look good? Also any way to lock the shpeck milkdrop visualization so it survives a restart of the program? I lock the one I want in but when program restarts its no longer set to the one I want.
