Title: [WSH Panel Mod]LastFM suite
Post by: carmenm on 2010-01-25 16:18:49
Hi everyone.

It s finally time for me to release what i have put together so far.

The Manager
Everything here is based on one single panel, the manager. It s aim is to allow to have one single configuration shared by many wsh panel mods. It will allow you to set properties.
The first thing you have to know about those properties is that you may use variables in them. If what you want is a foobar variable (related to a song) enter it just like you would in other components(%artist% for example). But there is also other variables related to wsh panel mod and that suite. They must differ from foobar properties so the syntax is different. Right now there is 2 of them, ?foobarpath? and ?lastfmdatapath?. I might introduce more in the future.

(http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/3508/24003388.th.jpg) (http://img651.imageshack.us/i/24003388.jpg/)
- First you have lastfm settings. You need to set a lastfm data path where everything will be cached. This might be the most important property. You must also set a LastFm API key and an account name. For that you obviously need a LastFM account!

- One very important setting is the path to wget(tools.wget). This is very important as it is used to download lastfm data. If wget is not found the manager will download directly in foobar and so it might freeze foobar while downloading!
In this release wget in installed in the directory "tools" in your foobar directory, though the "?foobarpath?tools/wget.exe" but you may change it if you want (but dont forget the dlls that goes with wget!!!).

- Then come the settings related to the art downloader. Here i use AlbumArtDownloader (http://sourceforge.net/projects/album-art/) to download album art as well as artist art. But as other tools exist to download (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=77425)artist art, i made it possible to use a different tool for artist and album art. So there is a "albumad.gui" and "artistad.gui". Those properties are optional, but if there are empty or the file doesnt exist, related features will be removed in the different panels. After that there are related properties like args, minsize or ouptut(where you can use foobar variables as well as ?? variables).

Finally there is "skin.imgpath". The idea is to have a single variables shared by all panel. So one skin shared by all panels. Makes it easier to switch skin.

All those settings are saved in a INI file. Why? Because i like to save my datas, because it means that you can share a WSH suite config without sharing your all config.Because it means that you can clear properties without actually loosing all your settings. And mostly because other panels need it to read the config!!!
The ini file is saved everytime you modify your properties, yet it s not lost when you clear your properties!
The ini file is in your foobar folder under the name WSH.ini. This is the only hardcoded propertym and there is no other way around.
Still you can change it in scripts\utils.js

When you have set the properties, the manager is up and running.
- How does it work? if playing or pause, the manager will first look at the cache for playing track data (if stopped it will look for selected track data).  If found all panels will be notified and so updated with the data.
After 3 seconds of playing the manager will start looking for new data. It will look for biography, Artist mega art, similar artists and thumbnail images for similar(i might add more in the future). Bios and similars will always be grabbed, if they are different from the cache then the cache is updated. For images only missing data is fetched.
After 4 seconds of playing, the manager will look for LOVE and PLAYCOUNT stats from lastfm (thanks to marc2003). The same way, other panels will be notified.
- how do i insert the manager in my config? Just like any other panel, the one thing you need to now is that the only thing drawn in this panel is a button to open properties. It also gives feedback on errors
(http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/2244/34302788.jpg) (http://img99.imageshack.us/i/34302788.jpg/)(http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/5379/32842869.jpg) (http://img517.imageshack.us/i/32842869.jpg/)(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2149/82836285.jpg) (http://img192.imageshack.us/i/82836285.jpg/)
As you can see images are used. The manager will look for "ok.png" and "error.png" in your skin.imgpath directory. If not found there will be nothing drawn. If found the button will have the size of the image.
By the way i use a different version of "tooltip_buttons.js"(packaged in the release) where the hover image does not need to have the "border", the border is drawn by the object. So only image suffice for a button.

The manager is made so that you dont have to change anything in the script itself, i wont support any modified version of it, just the one i use everyday. Yet i am more than ok to add new features if they look necessary.

- How does the manager notify other panels? That s the magic of WSH panel Mod. TPWang made an amazing work and made things very easy.
The manager sends different signals. A signal is made of a name and value. If you want to catch those notifications in your panel just use the function "on_notify_data(name, info)". Switching the name you can get which notification you are getting. And if the notification comes with a value it s in "option"
Here is the list of notifications that the manager sends"
- name:"config_updated" , "info": path to the inifile(mostly unecessary if you include utils.js)
- name:"lastfm_bio" , "info": the actual biography
- name:"lastfm_similars" , "info": list of similars. (';' separated)
- name:"lastfm_newArtistImage", "info": path to the newly downloaded image
- name:"lastfm_loved", "info": lastfm love and playcount info (';' separated)

The art panel
The art panel is the first of my panel Suite. It s also the most complicated one. It s made to be used in many different configs
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/4413/55254830.th.jpg) (http://img40.imageshack.us/i/55254830.jpg/)(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7163/15348660.th.jpg) (http://img12.imageshack.us/i/15348660.jpg/)

All the options are set through properties and contextual menu.
Most of them dont need any explanation. For the others:
- Buttons: THe art panel has the possibility to have buttons. Those buttons will fade in when the mouse enter the panel. Fade even more when the mouse is over them. And fade out when the mouse leave.
BUttons are defined through properties. buttons.show must  be set to 1 to show buttons. buttons.list contains the names of the buttons. For each button, a corresponding image must be in your skin.imgpath.
Available buttons are prev(prev.png), playpause(play.png and pause.png), next(next.png), refresh(refresh.png) and download(download.png).
Buttons will appear in the order you enter them (';' separated).
buttons.VA decide of the vertical alignment (0=top, 1=center, 2=bottom). The horizontal alignment is always centered. I dont see the point of left or right. But if requested i can add the option.
- Downloader: As explained in the manager, you can set up an album art downloader and an artist art downloader. This is where you use them! You can use it through double click, contextual menu or button. But those options will only appear if the downloader path is correct! When a download is finished, the panel will refresh itself automatically. Only one instance of the downloader at a time per panel!

- FillImage: I wrote a special algorithm taht i use for artist art panel. It will take your panel rectangle and choose the best according rectangle in the image. That way no ratio, no blank areas. After in the properties you can help the algorithm choose the rectangle by choosing vertical and horizontal alignments.

Note that this panel uses foobar 1.0 artreader. Also the manager will notify it if there is a new image available.

Similars Panels
(http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2650/81085418.jpg) (http://img709.imageshack.us/i/81085418.jpg/)
This is a simple panel showing similar artists of the playing or selected song. It waits for notification from the manager for new entries.
There are simple properties for now. I will let you look at them. This panel uses the lastfm.datapath to look for images.
For each artist there are feature on click and right click.

Bio Panel
Simple bio panel using the manager, scroll, drag and right click menu.
(http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9434/73658684.jpg) (http://img40.imageshack.us/i/73658684.jpg/)

Love panel
(http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2738/95590616.jpg) (http://img709.imageshack.us/i/95590616.jpg/)
A very simple panel with one button to love a track. It s based on marc2003 work and has not been updated to the latest version for customdb.
As others there is no lastfm query in there!!! It works with the manager.

Conclusion

That s about everything you need to know. You can easily write you own panels. Please if you want new features in the manager or the existing panels. Ask for it and i ll implement it. I prefer that than seeing too many forks.

Requirements & Package

You need WSH Panel Mod 1.3.0 (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=70363&hl=) to run that suite. Everything else is  in the package.

Just extract the package in your foobar config.
In the wsh folder you will find the scripts.
In the tools folder, there are everything wget related.
In the scripts folder are common scripts used by all panels.
You will also find in the package a WSHExample.ini. If you want to use it you have to rename it to WSH.ini
I gave a skin example in the folder skin/example with all necessary images.

That s about it. Hope you will all like it. And dont hesitate to ask, i am willing to answer to any question

I will finish with an amazing thanks for TPWang without who none of that would have been possible.

Write install instructions please. I extracted and imported the manager.txt file in a WSH panel but the properites are all blank.

where to put wsh.ini etc?

This is the problem with huge bundles like this. There is no simple way to install.


EDIT: wsh.ini needs to be put in place before you create the WSH Panel for Manager.txt
This was not immediately obvious until you actually read the scripts.
And I'm not a professional programmer.

Now you dont and it s written in the previous post. You dont need a wsh.ini at first. But everything will be blank.
It s also written that the wsh.ini is saved in your foobar folder.
I wrote everything you need now (at least i hope so as there are a lot of things to know.)

yes but I don't want to configure everything. I want sane defaults and only have to set in API key, username. datapath should default to fb2k profile folder

like %appdata%\foobar2000\lastfmcache\


Also use 0 instead of 1 in wsh.run so the console windows don't show up.

I know you probably used it during debugging, but release stuff shouldn't have that.

Also you use a mix of forward slash and backward slash everywhere. Stick to proper Windows directory separator which is backslash.

in script use \\ to escape it

"c:\\my\\long path\\";

In properties you don't need this as it's outside the script. just use \ like:
c:\my\long path\

Also don't demand that people end their paths in a slash.
Write a simple function that checks if the path ends in a slash and appends on if not.

Code: [Select]
function as(path) {
if (path.substr(path.length-1,1) == '\\') {
return path;
}
else {
return path + '\\';
}
}


then use as(somepath) everywhere in your script. simple.

gj carmenm!, looking forward to get home and try the bio downloader stuff.

But, is it necessary to download the bio, if it is already in the cache? it kind of removes the idea of "caching it" in the first place. I know you use the cache to "display something while looking for something", but since bio's don't get updated that often, reducing overhead to the lastfm servers would seem like a good idea, hence the idea of caching the bio only once.
Then, with a right click menu, you could force a cache update and everything would be great.
I won't have any problem modifying the manager, just wanted to point out that "issue".
everything else looks great, looks like an approach to a "framework" for WSH script development.

no point i dont want to initialize it to anything! if you dont set it just wont be used. That s all

Changes happens a lot in bios, like when there is a new album, or events in the band(split for example). caching is not only about not downloading(it is for images), it s also to have offline data and immediate data when starting a song.
Now it doesnt cost me anything to download the bio as i still query lastfm data. i just update the bio cache file if it has changed.

PS: to any admin, could i have the possibility to change my first post anytime? I doesnt appear to able to do so. Thanks

i can't even set a data path. 

edit: ah you have to create the folder yourself. i thought the script would create it for me.

Post by: saivert on 2010-01-25 19:43:50
Still many bugs like that one marc2003. The script should auto-create missing folders. This has to be automatic or we might as well do it all manually.

Also the mouse gets stuck when dragging the bios panel. I think I'm going to stick with marc2003's bios panel. Looks a lot better too.


You got two function on_mouse_lbtn_up(x, y) handlers in the javascript code.
consider consolidating them. then mouse dragging works properly.


Also why do you use WGET instead of XMLHTTPRequest?
The script hangs foobar2000 while the numerous wget processes are running.
Things like that has to be threaded somehow.

Sorry but i really dont like your tone. You dont like it? Dont use it!
I mean you speak like you know everything. So why dont you write your own scripts?

Already talked about that in the wsh panel mod thread
foobar doesnt hang her. And it s worth using javascript directly.
You want to do it, just let the wget setting blank

No I don't like *YOUR* tone. I'm giving you feedback. And suggestions for improvement.
If you don't like that just don't post your scripts here. I did not criticize your work.
Now end this bickering before a moderator closes the thread
This will be the final word on this. Now back on topic!


Yes I'm going to improve the scripts. But I don't like working with foreign code that much, and I don't think it's wise for me to make a bunch of modifications if it doesn't benefit others in some way or another.

I like the way you set up this Manager script. But something that would be much better is if WSH Panels mod had a global properties store which scripts could share. Yes some scripts might interfere with other scripts in a bad way but ultimately it's your own responsibility to check what scripts you have installed. I just think the manager script is more about extending WSH Panels mod than the panels themselves.

I have looked at AngelScript which is a lot like C++ and uses C/C++ datatypes. If WSH Panels mod used AngelScript instead of the Windows Script host it could more easily integrate with the foobar2000 API and you might one day create new panels directly in AngelScript and bypass the WSH Panels mod altogether (WSH Panels mod just becoming a pure scripting engine for foobar2000 which loads scripts from a folder). Many panels contain relatively little code and could just as easily be scripted instead of coded in C++.


These are just ramblings.

Ok. Seeing this post i apologize. You need to understand that i know my scripts are not perfect. Any dev knows taht when you dev something in your corner, there are things you dont see and that only appear when shared/released to others. I am glad in a way that you criticize my work, i really am. But for instance you didnt even said thanks or show a little of appreciation until this post.

Now you are right i wanted to write something that extends wsh panel mod. I love the work that marc2003 has done for example. But when you use a lot of those panels together, it becomes a real mess. Now i totally agree on the problem of shared variables, that s why i went for the ini file. The notification system of wsh panel mod allowed me to share that ini file among panels.
Wsh panel mod is actually close to what you want with AngelScript, it just doesnt load scripts directly, they are stored in foobar config.

as i'm a glutton for punishment, i've had another go at this. 

some constructive criticisms...

add some padding around the panels. they look crap with content right up to the edge. of course i can fix that myself but the average end user isn't going to want to
don't remove the "configure" context menu item. you have no way to edit the panel.   
uses system colours
fix your bio panel. once you click on it, it scrolls even without dragging and you can't stop it.
sort out the popup command windows. i doubt many people can live with that. i can't.

and my biggest complaint for last. what's the point of caching data only to have to wait a few seconds for it to display when switching tracks? you should only have to wait when it's downloading, not using cached files.

and i think your whole "manager" system is unnecessarily complex for no reason at all. just a simple external file with a few variables set would have done the trick.

Hi carmenm. This is truly a powerful tool you've put together here!

First question: Is there anyway to manipulate the panel backgrounds?

So... I've been wrestling with this for several hours, and I'm just trying to get the artist art to show.  Do I need the Albumartdownloader installed?  It looks like the script downloads art just fine as is.  It downloads properly to my last.fm cache folder, but I have to use some fancy title formatting (replace " " with "%20", etc.) in foobar's settings to recognize it.  Is this really necessary?  If so, can you post the proper command to get it working?  Thanks.

Also, I'm using the wget tool you posted, yet I'm experiencing UI pauses/freezes a few seconds in to each track when the info updates itself.  Is this normal?


By the way, I can tell you've put a lot into this.  I really appreciate the time and effort you've spent to help us all do something really cool with our foobar configs.  However, the actual script is VERY cumbersome and difficult to work with.  It tries to do way, way too much.  I'll echo some of the other responses you've received by saying that combining all of this into a "suite" is actually causing much more headache than warranted.  A series of simple scripts would be much better.

I didnt remove the configure thingy. You get it on every panel with a SHIFT+LClick. When i use my config on a day by day basis, i dont like to see unnecessary entries.
For padding they look good here. I mean it depends on what you use on top of them. I use PSS so i want my panel to fit their all content , so no padding. BUt i guess you must be using DUI.

You are wrong about the cache. Cached data is loaded on track start or selection change. After 3 seconds it only updates the cache if necessary

Hi carmenm. This is truly a powerful tool you've put together here!

First question: Is there anyway to manipulate the panel backgrounds?
Not right now but you can easily add a line like this
Code: [Select]
gr.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, ww, wh, 0, 0, img.width, img.height, 0, 255);
at the beginning of every panel paint function to draw an image.
Or may be you only want solid background?

Wget does not freeze even a bit here. I am not sure why it does for you :s
FOr The problem with %20 i think i see what it is. I added some  modification yesterday for wget to manage unicode characters. FOr now the only i found for him to deal with it was to use encodeURIComponent. But that broke with the artreader.
I am not sure how to handle unicode characters between wget and the artreader
Here is a working version of the manager

Now yes the code of the manager is heavy but i dont think it does too much. It just downloads a few images and write a few files.

Correct, I just want solid black instead of white.

I didnt remove the configure thingy. You get it on every panel with a SHIFT+LClick. When i use my config on a day by day basis, i dont like to see unnecessary entries.


oh so this is about your personal preference? and there was me thinking you were releasing this as an easy to use tool for other people to use.

For padding they look good here. I mean it depends on what you use on top of them. I use PSS so i want my panel to fit their all content , so no padding. BUt i guess you must be using DUI.


maybe you should test your panels in a standard columns UI layout and default UI to see how bad it looks. now that WSH panel mod is UI independent, i think you should cater for everyone, not just yourself.  you shouldn't have started this thread if this is a personal project.

You are wrong about the cache. Cached data is loaded on track start or selection change. After 3 seconds it only updates the cache if necessary


i'm wrong? you're telling me what i'm seeing with my own eyes is wrong? nice attitude you have there. you obviously haven't spent enough time testing this.

here's another rather large fault....if i play an artist where there is no biography, your script writes the previous artist's biography to the new, wrong cache.  and your method for saving text? hahahahahaha.      if you wanted to use multiple tags, why didn't you save the whole xml file instead. what you've hacked to together is amazing. and i mean that in the worst possible sense. 

you've obviously spent a huge amount of time and effort on this but i think you've been concentrating in the wrong areas.

There seems to be a lot of hostility here for some reason.  I'm not really sure why.

Wget does not freeze even a bit here. I am not sure why it does for you :s
FOr The problem with %20 i think i see what it is. I added some  modification yesterday for wget to manage unicode characters. FOr now the only i found for him to deal with it was to use encodeURIComponent. But that broke with the artreader.
I am not sure how to handle unicode characters between wget and the artreader
Here is a working version of the manager


Thanks for the update.  However, was the new manager script supposed to fix something?  I tried it and all it did was break my similar artist panel (that was working).

Also, the wget thing was my fault.  I typed the full path to the .exe in properties, which was incorrect.  The freezing was due to not using wget.  It's fixed now.

Finally, how am I supposed to get the artist art?  I mean, step-by-step.  I still can't figure that out for the life of me.

Ok, I got the artist art working by just using $replace(%artist%, ,'%20',&,'%26') in the artwork preferences.

Now I'm experiencing a bug with the artwork panel.  My artist art panel is on a tab "artist biography".  If I close foobar while the "artist biography" tab is in focus, everything is fine.  However, if I close foobar when the "artist biography" tab is not in focus, I have the following problem:  When I re-open foobar, and switch to the "artist biography" tab, it crashes with the following error:

Code: [Select]
Error: WSH Panel Mod (GUID: DB3CA228-739E-4AF9-B0A9-E1B85A04E558): Microsoft JScript runtime error:
Overflow
Ln: 150, Col: 15
<source text only available in compile time>


I should note that if I right-click > configure on the artwork panel after it's crashed and hit "ok" or "apply", it works fine.

I played around a bit more with the code and managed to fix it (for myself, anyway).

Code: [Select]
function myDrawImage(gr, img, size,  opacity, fill ) {
    if(size.width > 1)   
    {
        if(fill)
        {
            gr.DrawImage(img, 0, 0, ww, wh, size.x, size.y, size.width, size.height, 0, opacity);
        }
        else
        {
            gr.DrawImage(img, size.x, size.y, size.width, size.height, 0, 0, img.width, img.height, 0, opacity);
        }
    }
}

This may not be the most elegant implementation, but replacing myDrawImage with the above code fixed the issue for me.

Thanks a lot for the fixing.
Sorry i didnt answer sooner, but seeing the response of some people i dont even feel like reading that thread.  I may have made mistakes in my scripts, but i didnt post my scripts here to get such hostility.
So sorry to everyone. At least my scripts might give some ideas to others.

ok i was a bit out of order for laughing at the way you save files. i apologise for that.

IF it just worked, it wouldn't even be an issue. but the fact of the matter is, it doesn't. it's a long way off from being fit for use by the average user.

it's already taken some amazing perseverance by some of the others to get their scripts working. but should it be that hard? should people have to configure their colours inside the on_paint function? i don't think so.

i thought this was supposed to make life easier for the end user. but unfortunately i think it's done the complete opposite. and i imagine it's made your life harder too. i can't even begin to imagine how much time you've put into it. but for what?

But you think i would release it if it didnt work? It DOES work here, and pretty well. Of course i have still a lot of bugs. Some of them never happened yet, others not HERE.
You talk about background colors. I use transparent scripts ALL the time. So i dont use background color. I am sorry but i dont see it as such a big deal, and i would have corrected it if i had seen it!
You "laugh" about my way of saving files. Do you know how heavy xml is? So i choosed the INI way. And do you know why i chose those specific  separator (which are nothing like a = or a ? Because it becomes messy when there are some in the VALUE. There is almost no chance you will find those separators in the value, that s why i choose them. Is that so wrong? Does it deserve such an answer?
And  yes i tried to do something easy for the end user, and i mean in the using. I am sorry that i broke the script just before releasing it. I tried to correct a bug of wget/unicode and i didnt see it broke everything else because i had a cache here.

Now i was clearly wrong to share what i did, wchich really does work here! I am not joking around. I keep on correcting bugs as they come around. But do you see how complicated it is? how many things can go wrong.

I am sorry to everyone, you can forget that thread. I am sure marc2003 will make the "perfect" script.

oh i doubt that. but mine do work (for the most part) with minimal user intervention. even you yourself have reported problems to me but rather than dismiss your comments with utter disdain like you do, i actually try and help. your attitude of "it works for me" isn't really the sort of response i expect. why bother sharing your work if you're not going to consider other users and their needs. this isn't about me or what i want. i'm talking about the average user who hasn't got a clue how to script.

I dont dismiss any of your comment Marc2003. I corrected them all here!!!!
And me saying it works here jsut means i dont see the bug. If i did i would definitely correct it! Give me a console output and i ll correct anything.

you haven't even responded to the bugs i posted. i'll repeat them again shall i?

1) clicking on the bio panel enables drag but releasing the mouse button doesn't cancel it. so it moves when moving your mouse over it. even when leaving the panel and then coming back into it, it still follows your mouse. there is no way to cancel except start playing another track. (this behaviour has been confirmed by saivert as well)

2) i listen to artist A and it has a full bio and your script downloads and displays it. now i switch to artist B. this artist does not have a biography page on last.fm - but your script is writing the biography from artist A into artist B's cache file. artist B has a proper xml file because the similar artists bit works. you should detect when there is no biography and leave it blank or write a friendly message like mine does.

3) skipping to a new track while playing results in a delay of the panels being updated even when the files for the new track's artist are already cached. there is no delay when playback is stopped. (you did respond to this saying it didn't affect you)

obviously no console reports for any of this.

I'm very sorry to see such silly arguments in this thread. I really appreciate the work carmenm's done here, and i think we should help discovering and fixing the bugs because this sure does look promising. I'm quite excited to implement this in my own foobar config, especially the similar artist stuff is very nice.

Everything works fine here, except for the album art panel. As soon as I hit play on a song, the album art (that was loaded correctly at first) fades to this:

Title: [WSH Panel Mod]LastFM suite
Post by: marc2003 on 2010-02-28 08:15:21
i assume there will be a WshShell.Run command somewhere that is triggering wget. edit it so there is a 0 as the 2nd parameter like this.

Code: [Select]
WshShell.Run("some command", 0, true);


that should suppress any popup windows from showing.

I am sorry that i didnt answer this thread for so long. I actually was so disappointed that i decided to give up sharing it completely.

Yet I have been using and and updating that config for quite some time now and it works flawlessly here. So i decided to share it once more. But not in the same way this time.
I will share a whole CUI config that i will support. You ll be able to learn from it and adapt it to DUI if necessary.
I ll upload i as soon as possible. BUt right now i am adding a few things and i dont have so much time left out of work :s

I am sorry again

As confusing as the setup for your tool here may be, Carmenm, I've still been using the last.fm similar artists panel for a month now with almost no problems. I've even edited it a bit to link to sites like Rateyourmusic for the different similar artist images.

So yeah, don't be too discouraged, because I'm definitely glad you made it

Finally had the time to put my config together. I release it as a fcl file. In the archive you have everything you need. Just unrar in your foobar folder. I also included necessary components.

I tried it on a clean install and it worked fine.
Let me know if you have any problem

It should look like this

Yes i had the same problem while testing. It comes from the on_item_focus_change (i use yours marc2003) but i couldnt find how to solve it. It seems that f.focusitem doesnt work well on an empty playlist.

my scripts don't crash if you start foobar with an empty playlist.

and besides, that has nothing to do with the first 2 errors. normally i'd try and fix it myself but given the nature of those messages, i think it's way over my head.

anyway, now your other panels load ok, i've entered my lastfm username, api key and data path and i am now seeing this.....



the stuff like the web buttons and similar artists all appear to be working ok.

Oh yes you are right about writing on tags :s Right now i dont know what i should do. Maybe put it to customdb by default (done). I should update my script with the last version of yours

- Grey part :  i know where it comes from!!! I had a line, taken from another script like that
Code: [Select]
if(dui == 1) 
    {
        gr.DrawRect(0,0, window.Width, window.Height, 1.0, RGB(160,160,160));
    }

It s now removed.
- Bio panel fixed.
- empty playlist: fixed
- Wikipedia button: you are absolutely right but they were no wikipedia icon  If you have a good one ...
- there is a known bug in the NowPlaying panel. If you start dragging the seekbar and release outside of it, mouse drag mode wont be stopped. Will correct that when i have the time.

Thanks a lot for your remarks. It helped a lot.

writing file tags is fine. it certainly makes life easier. but you just need to warn people in advance. that's all i'm saying.

and i'm afraid that new .fcl hasn't fixed any issues. plus each time you import, it causes you to lose all your settings (lastfm username, api key etc).

obviously, i had this issue with my old scripts when i used to store settings as variables in the script - people had to be very careful when upgrading. but i worked around that ages ago by saving the details in external files. i even made a dialog so people don't have to edit files anymore.

(http://public.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p6l9NlTgfmoIInzSTyl9_KwryCsjUHoRwaksRl5xHv1KGrzhrAXcE8xS1PqILzZj45rKTogEPTQRyMEvyFKgKGA/easy2.png)

now users can upgrade their scripts and all their settings remain intact.

edit: and another thing, i've since updated the customdb to only create 3 entries on the context menu. it's well worth you checking it out.

edit2: wiki icon -

i'm pretty sure this was in my PSS theme that you downloaded. it's not transparent though. it has to be used on a white backgrond. it's simply the favicon from their website converted to .png

Strange that the fcl doesnt fix anything :s Will take a look tomorrow. About saving into an external file, i do that. I am wondering why it is not working for you.
Now about the icon, i meant "iphone" version of the icon. That s what i want to go for. Will look for it.

EDIT: about saving settings. I save them in on_script_unload so if you didnt close foobar or opened and closed the conf dialog of the manager wsh it wont be saved. I think that s why you lost everything during import.

I was reading this thread and I don't know much about scripting and all that.  I just know that the WSH panel seems like it has a lot of functionality.  I tried following the instructions and I can't, for the life of me, get this to work.  The final product looks great!  I don't want to tweak it or anything.  Just have all those features in my foobar2000.  So pretty much I extract the .rar to my c:\program files\foobar2000 folder and add a WSH panel and then import the Manager.txt.  Nothing appears there and I have no idea how to proceed.  I thought I was supposed to import that WSH.ini file but I don't know where to do that.  Please help. 

Thanks in advance and seems like an awesome panel mod!

Perhaps there has been an update the scripts lately which haven't been posted but is there anyway to get larger images for the Similar Artists? Setting the button size anything the default results in the image being a blurry mess, though the same images shown on the Last.fm website for similar artists are bigger.

EDIT: Is there any way to fix the scrolling issue with the bio page, the text overlaps over the header.
