Can someone tell me why the image quality of the cover display in the left-hand panel is so bad? I'm not sure what this panel is called... it's the button you can press to view the artist's photo and the album image. I've been noticing that even while I have a high-quality scan of the album cover, it shows up really pixelated in this panel....

I didn't use Falstaff's config yet, but I had the same problem with a config I am working on at the moment. Many of my images looked as if they were very low-res pictures, while the actual resolution was 500x500 or higher.

I discovered, that it had to do with the used "$imageabs" function in ELPlaylist and also PSS. When I replaced it with "$drawimage" the images looked the way the should. Maybe Fallstaff could try to replace the image-functions, except there are any disadvantages of the other function that I haven't discovered yet...


i have replaced $imagesabs() functions by $drawimage()

===> v1.4b released

thanx for people having the problem to tell me if it works better now with cover display ?
(cause it was working fine for me)

if it resolve the problem, big thanx to beetFreeQ

Why it crushed in Vista?  I`ve added only components listed by you. Any error msg, only dissapear:/ Sorry for english.

PS. I`ve installed foobar to C;/ , and it crash only when i apply`ed the ibiza 1.4 cfg, or 1.3 ( without wsh component ) .

Falstaff,

first of all let me tell you I really dig your work. It finally made me transition from my old FoF PanelsUI setup to the latest. foobar 9.5.4 beta 3.

I can confirm that the $drawimage() change fixed the pixelated covers problem for me.

I have some observations to share with you:

1) The new status/volume controls are cool, although the volume scale needs a little more work to be useful. The scale goes from -100dB to 0dB in an almost linear way. Anything past -50dB is practically inaudible, so half of the volume bar is wasted. Can you switch to a logarithmic scale ?

2) Performance. Another thing I've noticed is that in version 1.4b, the active playlist window is slow to refresh/redraw when switching focus from another app. Showing/hidding the top menu bar is very slow as well.

3) On the top track info panel, the one with the Smirnoff font, there are some replacements missing for spanish accented vowels (á, é, í, ó, ú).

4) Regarding GUI control placement, I also believe that you should group together the playback controls with the status and volume controls, since the belong together conceptually. I also think that the left tab reordering suggested a couple of posts back is the way to go.

5) How about adding Sort buttons at the bottom of the active playlist panel ? Similar to the NEW, DEL, REN, etc.. buttons found on the left playlist switcher panel.

6) Is there a way to define the cover/artists location from a single location, instead of having to change it in several panels ? Is there something resembling global variables in your Ibiza setup ?


Thanks again for you hard work man. Hope to hear from you soon.

Upon further investigation, it seems that some of the performance lag occurs when showing the small artwork on the active playlist panel. Disabling the three $drawimage() lines makes things more responsive, but at the cost of not showing artwork on the playlist panel.

Can you please take a look at it ?

BTW, can you provide an option to activate/deactivate the spectrum analyzer ? It's very CPU hungry, and it would be nice to be able to turn it off/on when needed.

Thanks.

Dear Fallstaff,

as mentioned in another reply before, I would like to post a feature request:

- Add function to load an artist picture directly form Ibiza (like Reflex)

... in split mode (coverflow/playlist) haven't you remark the little arrow between the 2 panel ?

this arrow is at the bottom in normal mode 'Playlist' or 'Coverflow'

just click on it

Great skin. However, i think the album art pictures in the playlist are too small, how can i make them larger? Like 150x150px, or more.

Great. Thanks.

Just one question. btw i asked you the same question about a year ago

Any clue what s wrong with that  (*front*), front without * works fine.

Code: [Select]
$if($findfile($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*front*.jpg)),
    $puts(cover.path,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*front*.jpg))



and one more thing.

i would like to have 2 words for filename, front and 00 or something.
Would that be possible?

thanks again

My NOW PLAYING button has stopped working in the latest build, clicking it does not move the Playlists to the correct track

ELPlaylist v0.4.1.2b is out which I am using, don't know if that broke it?

Using ELPlaylist 0.4.1.3b with Ibiza 1.4d and Now Playing is working.

BTW, now performance is much much better with the imageabs() fix for ELPlaylist. Thank you fallstaff.
