Any solution ?

For that to work you need the format as just genre, with no % signs. I may be wrong since I've only just reinstalled it and before that I haven't been able to use Windows for months.

I'm trying to get this sorting tag to work in foo_browser:

Quote from: Frank_Bicking on

To ignore the leading "The" ("The Beatles" is turned into "Beatles") use:

Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($left(%artist%,4),The ),$right(%artist%,$sub($len(%artist%),4)),%artist%)


To put a leading "The" behind the artist tag ("The Beatles" is turned into "Beatles, The") use:

Code: [Select]
$if($strcmp($left(%artist%,4),The ),$right(%artist%,$sub($len(%artist%),4))', 'The,%artist%)



Is there any way you can make it so it says "The (artist)" but still sort it alphabetically by "(artist)" in the panel?

Not working still. I might be doing it wrong though. I put in under both format and sort and nothing seems to work.

yeah i did the same thing at BigRobb and it doesnt work. I reset my browsers and rescanned my library after, but to no avail.

Hold down shift and right-click in the Artist panel, reselect Artist to activate the new sort criteria.

As it seems there is no solution for my poor problem, could someone upload the previous version of foobar (1.1.6b) .    this would be very nice !

I am testing a tagging approach to my library that relies on multiple STYLE tags.
For instance:

Genre: Rock
Style: Acid Rock\Heavy Metal\British Metal (meaning that in this case I have 3 STYLE tags)

Now I want to have 2 browsers being one for the genre tag (that is always unique for every item of the library) and another for the STYLE tag (that may not be unique).

I tried the following approaches for the STYLE panel:

style (approach 1)
%style% (approach 2)

Approach 1 shows me in the panel only the first STYLE tag and ignores the others (in my example only Acid Rock would appear).
Approach 2 shows me all tags, but comma separated in the same line and that is not exactly what I had in mind... What I wanted is it to show me all STYLE tags, one after another, and when I click in for instance Acid Rock it would display in the playlist all files tagged as Acid Rock.

Does anyone know if this is possible with the current version or if there is any interest in adding this feature to the plugin?

I think instead of having 2 genres...you should put 1 genre and maybe add a %style% tag...

Hi,

I think I noticed another problem with browser 1.1.7 -- mp3 files, which get double-clicked from within windows explorer, do not get played by foobar anymore. It's somehow difficult to explain, so I'll try it this way:

Steps to reproduce:
1) goto Preferences -> Browser and make sure "Automatically Activate" is checked.
2) close foobar
3) locate any mp3 file and double-click it.

Expected behaviour:
- foobar should launch (provided it's the default player for mp3 files) and the double-clicked file should get played.

Current behaviour:
- foobar launches, but the double-clicked file is not played. The very first file from the *Browser* playlist is played instead.

You probably have foo_Browser set to automatically activate the playlist when browsing.  You can try turning that off and seeing if the problem still exists...

Hi zlebandit,

I also have the same problem with multiple genres and multiple artists. I already reverted to the previous version. Get it from here:

Hi cwbowron,

you mean step 1) from the list I posted? Yes, I always have "Automatically Activate" checked. If I unckeck it, then it works as expected, i.e. the double-clicked file is played.

But I assumed the double-clicked file should always be played, regardles of the state of "Automatically Activate", no? Otherwise, the notion of "default player" is somehow pointless. Or am I wrong?

Great! The problem with the multiple genres/artists is gone.

Thank you, cwbowron!

Cool, this fixes my other problem. I leave "Automatically Activate" enabled, but I disable "Populate on startup", thus I have no more problems with files from the console.

Thanks again.

HI all, and tks cwbowron for this new version where everything works fine.
Multiple tags are OK, @skip option works pretty well.

Thanks again.

PS : I'm just thinking of something that could improve foo_browser. When I browse my playlist with foo_browser, it browse in the playlist I've specified (*Browser* by default). When I play an album, I like to browse the playlist, but if the album played was found with foo_browser (so in the *Browser* playlist), when I browse during playing, at the end of the song, the next song played will be the one where the browser stopped at the end of the previous song (not sure I'm clear !). It would be great to be able to send the album that I want to listen to in ANOTHER playlist than *Browser*. So that I can continue to browse my collection as i listen to an album. In fact, two playlist would be choosen in the options : the one for browse and the one to send selection by double clic for example. 
What do people found of foo_browser think of that ?

Maybe we could have a "Browser - selection" and a "Browser - playing" automatically created playlists. When I'm browsing the result will be in the "selection" one. If there is a track playing from the  "selection" playlist, that playlist will become the "playing" one and from then on the browser should create another "selection" playlist without disturbing the "playing" one. Not sure how to deal if I stop playing tracks though...

Just an idea.

Yes, something like this : a Browser list to browse, and another one to play. Elements from the browsers are automatically sent to the second playlist by double clicking...

It's too heavy for me.

maybe memory leak? playing time goes further, it becomes heavier...

and finally screen crashes.

Hi Chris,

I'm having major problems with foo_browser 1.1.8. I'm not sure what's going on, but I cannot get foobar2000 to play. It starts up, but seems to hang. Even my font's change size in the playlist and foo_track_info. I can't even get into preferences to check the settings. When I revert back to 1.1.7 all is right with the world again. To sum up, the best I can say is foo_browser 1.1.8 is making foobar2000 hang, and hang, and hang some more.
