If you want an albumart panel not to change images when you change tracks, then modify your sources list to only include static sources (i.e.: dont use any %variables%). For example:

Each albumart panel maintains it's own settings, there is no general section added for albumart.  To add the panel to your layout go to
File> Preferences> Display> ColumnsUI
Under the Layout tab, right click on a splitter and choose
Insert Panel> Panel> Album Art
Click [Apply], [Save All], and [Close] to return to foobar, there should be a new panel added based on your layout. Right click on the new panel and choose "Preferences" to adjust the albumart settings.

@huythuy: What's the interval time before cycling between album art sources? Perhaps it is too small?


thanks for replying. I have had all options left at default value , I even tried to disable all options : Fading, cycle sources and low quality resize . but the problem is still the same .

I don't know if this problem has anything to do with .... my other similar problem with foobar here:
http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=47409
both problems have foobar tries to use as much CPU as available

it could be something with foobar 0.9 code and system compatibility because I try to switch back to 0.8.3 which I've been used for years and there is not any problem, everything is smoooth and clean.

thanks in advance for any suggestion.  i can not use albumart

hiya

Im looking for the Album art component for the older version of foobar. Im redoing her foobar but i cant find the correct DLL (she uses the .8.3 build)

So if anyone could point me in the right direction, i kinda searched everywhere :/



EDIT: i kept searching for a while more...i found it

Is there any way to get the follow cursor toggle to work with the playlist tree panel?  It seems since I upgraded to .9 that the follow cursor toggle hasn't worked with the playlist tree or the album list panel.  Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
John

No, you're not doing anything wrong.  There was a feature in the 0.8.3 version of foo_uie_albumart that allowed other components (like a modified album list panel) to control changes in the album art panel, but the other components had to be written to include this feature.  When components started being upgraded to the 0.9 SDK, the external control feature wasn't supported by any other components (I'm not sure if it even worked at all).  Anyway, eventually, the external control feature was just removed from foo_uie_albumart completely.

At least with the album list panel, you can approximate the old behavior if you have the "autosend to playlist" option enabled in album list panel preferences.

There is a small bug with the album art refresh.  I am using this version:

foo_uie_albumart.dll v0.2.1 [21 June 2006] - Album Art Panel

Anyway, if you replace the album art image of the song being played (I have follow cursor turned off), by just saving a new image with the same name....  For example, I have a image called folder.jpg in the folder where the track plating is located.  I realized that it was the incorrect image, so I found the right image and just saved the new image as folder.jpg (overwriting the old one).  Then I try to refresh the album art panel and nothing happens (it keeps the old image). 

If I then change the toggle follow cursor, click on another track in a different folder, then turn the follow cursor back off it updates the image. 

Clicking refresh should do the same thing (i.e. load the image from scratch).

If you need any other information, please let me know.

Thanks.

I have a question regarding both foo_uie_albumart.dll and CoverDownloader (using foo_run.dll).

Since album & artist names often have non-file-compatible names (such as question marks, semicolons, slashes and such), is there a ability to seek (on both apps) a partial %album% or %artist% entry (or automatically ignore/delete irrelevant characters)?

Alternatively (and without modifying literally thousands of filenames and tags), can anyone think of a workaround?

And another question: "next source" option on foo_albumart simply does nothing for me. I can't seem to understand how it works, apparantly. Tried the Wiki, adding and removiong dashes at beginning of lines, but still can't get exactly how this whole thing works.
And since it's been mentioned before on this thread, this auto-cycle of images doesn't work for me either...

(WinXP SP2, all latest builds of components)

hello,

this is my first time actually messing with my albumart source code.

My album art plugin is set to retrieve the image thats highest in the alphabet and not the folder.jpg.  My question is how do i get it to look for folder.jpg with still having the ability to highlight a different song and have the transition(albumart wise) take effect.

I've been having a bit of an annoying issue with the album art panel. Not necessarily unusable or system-locking in seriousness but still irritating. Basically what si happening is that, when I'm not looking at foobar (ie. minimized, alt-tabbed away etc) and the song playing changes, the album art will not change. So when I look at foobar again, the art and song won't match until I change songs again while foobar is focused on screen. I've read through these boards and the wiki and I haven't really seen any mention of this problem. For reference I have 0.9.2 for fooabr and 0.2.3 for albumart.

Hello!
Can somebody tell me how to modify source list that foo_uie_albumart to show cover, integrated in a mp3 file? WMP can do it...
I don't speak English very well, please excuse me!

foobar2000 can't... at least until somebody writes a plugin which is able to read the corresponding tag-field.

Known.  I keep putting off fixing it, though.

album art panel automatically replaces invalid characters with '?', which is the wildcard for a single character.  For instance, "Dis/located" becomes "Dis?located", so the album art will be found if it is named "Dis_located.jpg" or "Dis-located.jpg", etc.

PLEASE Add this to the manual on the wiki, or do this replacement _after_ I did my tagz formating.
I spend an hour trying to figure this shit out.
This is really not a good idea to change the values of %artist% etc. without documentation

Though I'll be the first to admit that the wiki page needs some work....

This does not say that this is done _before_ tagz. Such an extremely unexpected behaviour needs a precie and noticable note.
I would just fix this in the component (do that replacement after tagz) and everything's fine.

If it was that easy then I guess it would have been done by now. If someone was going to take the time to tell you how to do it then it would probably be quicker for them to do it themselves.

There is a reason for foobar not beeing able to do this: it's peter's opinion (which I share):
Images should not be included into mp3-files. A 300kb file is no longer metadata. Why don't you just store your images as "folder.jpg" in the directory the mp3s remain in? That needs less space, is faster and more easy to manage.

[CRASHWARE] updated foo_uie_albumart

Reply #647 –
i partially agree with you.
For full albums, i guess everyone might accept this, a folder.jpg is way better, as it is one file, and not some kind of metadata in every mp3. You just need it once.
But, there are also singles and/or single files, for this case it's not worth it creating a folder to put the track with the folder.jpg in, so it would be good, but only in this case IMHO.

[CRASHWARE] updated foo_uie_albumart

If your files are properly tagged (they should be after all), you can solve this by naming your images in a way so you can refer to them via tags and saving them all in one folder.
(I have the image for every album as a folder.jpg in my the album dir, but I also have an image of every artist i've got a track from in an separate folder, named %artist%.jpg)

Is it possible to cycle through several pictures with the same source?

I sometimes have several artist pictures, but album art only chooses the first of those and then cycles between that and the cover.
