This code is not debugged or tested in anyway, so there will probably need to be changes.

This assumes all the images are saves as wait_img0.png, wait_img1.png, etc. The path variable contains the path to those images.
Code: [Select]
var waitImgs = [];
var curWaitImg;
var curWaitIndex = 0;
for (i=0;i<8;i++)
    waitImgs.push(gdi.image(path + "/wait_img" + i + ".png");
curWaitImg=waitImgs[curWaitIndex++];

waitTimer = window.SetInterval(function() {
    curWaitIndex = (curWaitIndex + 1) % 8;
    curWaitImg = waitImgs[curWaitIndex];
    window.Refresh();
    }, 100);


Then just draw curWaitImg in the on_paint. You'd probably want to use a refresh rect and pass it the coordinates of where you want the wait image to be shown.

generally panel crash on a gdiDrawText method, or if not crashing the panel become white (no repaint) for a little lapse of time, then came back on mouse move. Experiencing this repaint bug more than 2 times generate WSH panel Mod panel to freeze (a WSH panel mod window open over the fooobar2000 window and foobar2000 freezed until it crashed.

that's the common symptoms encountered.

Sounds like that isn't what I ran into then. My theme crashed in an unexpected spot for no reason I could understand.

I did encounter a weird redraw bug though that might be related. The window would just stop updating. It was going through the on_paint, but the screen only redrew when I paused playback. Never went white though and the theme was still responsive to the mouse (menus would still drop down, etc.) I've seen stuff like that before where it's attempting to redraw too fast, or something else is stealing all the CPU cycles, but that shouldn't have been the issue in this case.

samples updated;

for my thumbs & now playing scripts, when there weren't enough thumbs to fill the whole strip, you'd see an ugly gap with your default background colour. i've now improved this by taking up the whole panel with the main image and drawing thumbs over the top.



right click>Update script.

Maybe somebody can help me:
If I update a tag using IFbMetadbHandle.UpdateFileInfoSimple and then try to read it using IFbFileInfo.MetaValue without a delay, it reads the previous value back. I suppose the reason is that the file content itself is not updated immediately.
Does anybody have a best practice on how to avoid this?

WSH Panel Mod script discussion/help

Reply #2655 –
as you've written the value, why do you need to read it back immediately?  you'll get prompted if tag updates fail - just like you would if you were updating the usual way through the properties dialog.

I need it to perform some calculations afterwards like getting average values of certain track groups. I think I can solve it by just passing in the changed values manually in the calculation, but I was just wondering. Actually I would expect the read and write operations to be properly synchronized.

WSH Panel Mod script discussion/help

if you've not seen any tag update errors, i think it's fair to assume the values you have written are ok to use. try using UpdateFileInfoSimple on a read only file and you'll see what i mean.

edit: bad advice removed.

Ok, thanks for the hint, I might take that route.
Also thanks for your plugin, the customizations you can do with it are really great!

i completely forgot, you could use the on_metadb_changed callback for this. that gets called automatically when tags are updated.

you need this preprocessor stuff at the start..
Code: [Select]
// ==PREPROCESSOR==
// @feature "v1.4"
// @feature "watch-metadb"
// ==/PREPROCESSOR==


then use this
Code: [Select]
function on_metadb_changed() {
    //something
}

why having 8 images when it's easy to rotate the image with gr.DrawImage() ? Increase angle value by (360 / 8) at each time interval you want (with a timer and a public variable for the angle) and just use this angle value in the gr.DrawImage() as parameter.

void DrawImage(IGdiBitmap, dstX, dstY, dstW, dstH, srcX, srcY, srcW, srcH, angle = 0, alpha = 255);

i would say don't attempt to draw a spinning image over the top of any kind of background image because the CPU usage is ridiculous. it might be ok in a blank panel.

You're right..  this is simple rotate scipt, but i don't know where to put it inside 'Thumbs' script, to display only when downloading image:

Code: [Select]
var wait = gdi.Image(fb.FoobarPath + "images\\wait5.png");
var angle = 0;

function on_paint(gr) {

gr.DrawImage(wait, 0, 0, 30, 30, 0, 0, wait.width, wait.height, angle);

}

var timer = window.CreateTimerInterval(10);
function on_timer() {

if(angle >= 360) angle = 10;
angle += 10;
window.Repaint();

}

you really want to use it inside the thumbs script? 

luckily for you there is a variable which you can check the value of: im.working.

Code: [Select]
if (im.working) ....


also, i'd use window.RepaintRect so it doesn't redraw the whole panel.

but even re-drawing such a small area, i still think you'll have CPU usage issues. try it and look at task manager.

Since you're talking also about the Thumbs script i have a question...
In my config it doesn't work anymore, it tries to load pics from Lastfm but nothing appears.  [No image].
Is there something i can do to have it working?

WSH Panel Mod script discussion/help

Reply #2666 –
last.fm made some changes last week which means my old script stopped working. i've updated it with a workaround so you just need to right click>Update script.

you might find it's slower now but i can't do anything about that. like it or lump it.

I already tried it but with no luck...
It found an update, i restarted foobar but i can't still see any image in the thumbs panel.
I'll try to recreate the whole panel, maybe something it's corrupted idk

are you trying it manually or using the automatic download option? the latter only works when you start playing a track and no images exist for that artist.

look inside the marc2003 folder and see if a file named download.vbs exists. the script should download it if it's not found but this might have failed?? also check the foobar console? any messages/HTTP error codes?

WSH Panel Mod script discussion/help

Tried both method and the download.vsb file it's in the right folder...
In console i can see a "Thumbs: HTTP error: 0 " !

have you been trying many different artists? are you getting that error with all of them?

you could try clearing the temp files in internet explorer to see if that helps. even if you don't use the browser, this script still uses parts of it to work.

cpu usage is 8-12 if you set slow spining. Looking nice, but i will consider will i use it?

to meditate : why having a cpu if it's not for using it ?

^if the flashing play icon in your playlist took 10% cpu, you wouldn't enable it.

cpu is not important. But i'm not able to do what I intended. so i'll leave it to you, to make, if some of you or Marc thinks that it is useful..you will do this better..
