_time_elapsed_seconds origin?

Hello everyone -
I've been lurking in these forums ever since I heard about foobar, and I've learned so much about it, it's insane - definitely the best music player out there.

That being said, I have a small question. One of the ColumnsUI formatting strings I uses has a small music icon in one of the columns, as such:

Code: [Select]
$if(%_isplaying%,
$if($strcmp($mod(%_time_elapsed_seconds%,2),0),'♪','♫'),
$if($strcmp(%tracknumber%,'01'),' ',))


I can't tell exactly, but it seems like that code should alter the icon between the one note and the two note every second. Trouble is, it doesn't do that. It seems that a number of functions that rely on the variable %_time_elapsed_seconds% and its brothers just don't work. I have foo_text, is there another plug-in I need that will allow these to work, or is it just a setting that I don't have configured correctly?

Edit: Additionally, that code works in the statusbar. It just doesn't work in the playlist itself. That might help a bit, apparently it's not the %_time_elapsed_seconds% that's broken.

It's meant to be that way. (edit: I mean, %_time_elapsed_seconds% does not work in the playlist.)

Have a look at titleformat_help.html in your foobar2000 installation directory.

Not sure if this will make a difference, but look in "Preferences->Display" for the checkbox "Show dynamic info in playlist".  See if that helps.
