Just a quick feature request, Would it be possible to disable the fade animation when foobar is being used remotely?

You can use GetSystemMetrics(SM_REMOTECONTROL) to check for this condition, it will return non-zero if Remote Desktop is being used.

Since you told me exactly how to do it, and I see no good reason not to do it, sure

.NET should not be required at all.  If you're using Windows2000, do you have gdiplus.dll?  There's a link on my plugin homepage.

Also, the new version of Columns UI has no "Sidebar" like in 0.8.3.  It's been replaced by the Layout system, so you need to go to Preferences -> Display -> Columns UI -> Layout and right-click on a splitter to add the Album Art Panel.



Too funny .... didn't even realize there was an index in that screen but did wonder why version seems so ....ehm....neutered.
Thanks a bunch, plugin works fine.

I do consider it a bug, though, and I think the changes I make in the next version will fix this undesired behavior.

edit: I'll also add an option to always revert to the first source, since I can see when that might be useful.


Thanks that would be great.

gfngfgf, thanks for working on this plugin!

i have feature request though. i would really like tooltip-like cover popup on mouse hover over the album art. i have it set rather small in my layout (under 100 x 100px), so quick build-in popup feature would be great to have. i think it would be nice to have options for maximal popup window's size and maybe the hover delay. it could disappear on mouse move (or mouse move away from the popup, or maybe on click).

what do you think?

I'll think about it, but I can't promise anything.  If it does get done, it'll be after I get multiple instances working.

Another feature I added was that Album Art Panel now responds to items being added to the playlist.  The main benefit is that now, if you have "Auto send to playlist" enabled in Album List Panel, the album art will be updated as you browse the Album List.  It's not exactly the same as the old "external control" option from 0.8.3, but I think it's a pretty good approximation.

Wonderful! Thank You.

Confirmed.  I'll try to fix this in the next version.

I want to add an album art check for the following conditions:
  • If the current playing song has a meta-tag URL = <a href="http://www.di.fm" target="_blank">http://www.di.fm</a>
  • I want to display the file 'icons etc\logo-di.gif' which is a relative folder location under fb2k main root
Hope someone can help ...

Try this:
Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($meta(url),'http://www.di.fm'),'icons etc\logo-di.gif')

any other ideas?... cause I'dd like this too...

For some reason that doesn't work the way it's supposed to. If you try to put $meta(url) in the trackinfo panel, for example, it doesn't show up, even though URL=http://www.di.fm is clearly listed in the tags. This is a problem with foobar's streaming capability, not with albumart.

The alternative for now seems to be to use %_path% to get the IP of the DI servers. If that doesn't change too much, it should work just as well. Try:

-$if($stricmp($left(%_path%,20),'http://64.236.34.196'),'icons etc\logo-di.gif')

lav-chan u're an officer and a gentleperson! tnx heaps ...

[edit]
I have updated that string to this, which should prove more reliable as it doesn't rely on the server ip:
Code: [Select]
-$if($stricmp($left(%title%,35),'D I G I T A L L Y - I M P O R T E D'),'images\di-logo.gif')

Doesn't that get over-written by the song title after a few seconds?

Does anybody know where I could find artists' pictures or portraits, please?

I'm not interested in album covers but, listening to a lot of jazz, I'd like using the plugin to show the artist face instead (or even some instruments clipart for classical, maybe).

Thanks.

Is it possible to use global variables?

Like if my song is playing it shall display the cover, if not it uses the default.png

That way i could make my foobar look way better in an idle state.
I tried to code but it won't work, any suggests?

$if(%isplaying%,$replace(_path%,%_filename_ext%))folder.jpg
-match:$if(%isplaying%,$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%))*
-components\default.png

i can't get the cycling to work either.

both pictures are in the directory from which foobar is playing..
folder.jpg and cover.jpg

whats the code to cylce between those?

edit: cycling seams to be bugged right now, guess i'll just wait for the update

A quick update: I'd really like to get multiple instances working before I release the next version, and it's taking some time to do that, so hang tight.  I'm still following this thread and all the bug reports and feature requests.

No, special fields related to playback (like "%isplaying%" and "%ispaused%") don't work right now.  I think it shouldn't be hard to add that, though.  I'll try to get it done in the next version.

Try this out:

Code: [Select]
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%)folder.jpg
$replace(%_path%,%_filename_ext%)cover.jpg
-components\default.png

edit: and I probably should have explained this better when I introduced the cycling feature, but cycling only works while foobar2000 is playing a track, and only if the currently playing track is selected or "Follow cursor" is turned off.

My music files are stored in a series of folders in the name of the artist with the corresponding album art for the files in the artist folder.  As such, these folders have varying number of .jpg files.  What I want to do is randomly cycle through all the .jpg files in a given artist folder for a playing track.  I cannot figure out how to do this with the $rand() function because the number of .jpg files varies from folder to folder, and therefore, simply appending a random number to end of of a .jpg file name will not work because the number of .jpg files for the maximum random number to be generated varies from folder to folder.  Could someone help me with the code for a source that would go to the given folder for the then playing artist and randomly cycle through all the.jpg files in the corresponding artist folder, taking into account that the number of .jpg files in a given folder will vary.

I would like to submit the idea of two checkboxes
'vertical shrink'
'horizontal shrink'
instead of only
'shrink image to fit'

what do you think about it, could it be possible ?

[CRASHWARE] updated foo_uie_albumart

Yeah, but why? Doesn't the 'maintain aspect ratio' pretty much cover it?
