Bug: Crash after changing of track, if playing playlist isn't active.

1. Opening windowed mode doesn't use the same settings as my panel. Is it possible to have the settings sent over to the windowed version? Maybe an export settings to file button?

2. Full screen still doesn't function correctly in Panels UI (don't know about CUI).


1. They have both independent settings and I don't think I'll change it
2. I tried with PUI yesterday and while I had no crashes going to fullscreen then getting out was kind of unpredictable: sometimes the window wold not be inthe panel, or the window not perfectly fullscreen etc.
It has to do with the PUI constantly move/resize/reposition the window and the way I do fulscreen interfere with that. I'll see if I can make it work more reliably but no promise as I don't know what exactly PUI is doing to the window.

But I found a little bug: mipmapping settings are lost after restart of foobar.


I couldn't repoduce it.


mipmapping is greyed out for me... I'm confused as to why?


It's greyed if your hardware (like mine) use the ARB_texture_rectangle OpenGL extension for rendering textures, that is not compatible with mipmap automatic generation. I'l probably compute them manually for this case in a future version


Please add a transparent panel background option to the list if you haven't already done so. In the mean time, if you could add the option for choosing a solid color background that would be great.

Also, would it be possible to allow an option for this component to view all album covers in your media library as opposed to just the covers in the current playlist?


Transparent panel: we'll see but it's not immediately apparent to me how I can implement that
Media library: In a future version you'll able to bind any playlist to a coverflow panel, so if you have a playlist with whole media library you can bind to that


I still consistently get crashes when leaving fullscreen mode. Basically it makes foobar not respond and take high cpu usage until I kill the process.


I coundn't reproduce it. I don't understand what could cause it

Reflections aren't visible for me. They are way too dark. Also, all covers appears to be much darker than before, even with flat shading removed.


That's true I'll make them brighter with reflection configurable

Hi bubbleguuum.Please ,can you fix this?
Can't load cover.jpg 6,29mb and more(mb)!!!
I have only covers with high resolution.For me this is a big problem.


Wow these are big! probably exploding max texture allowed size. Even If I could handle them that would be super slow to process.

Thanks, fixed (it happens only if playback follow cursor is not enabled)

Sorry, bug description was not precise.

1. Start foobar

2. Activate mipmaps

Result:



You see good quality covers -> mipmaps is truly activated


3. Shutdown foobar

4. Start foobar again

mipmaps is seemingly still activated, but you see again (as before activating mipmaps) poor quality cover:



-> mipmapping is in reality deactivated

One suggestion

If you make some animation please make an option to desactivate them because i think it will use too much ressource and for me animation are not a priority

Continue like this, it will become one of the best component

I'll release a new version tomorrow fixing 2 crashes, making the image brighter (it's too dark in 0.13) and having the reflection amount ajustable.
After that I'll work on more important features that will take some time (unicode and embedded covert art).

Sorry to go off topic, BHitman, what playlist switcher/viewer component is that you are using in the screenshot?

The coverflow looks good in my iTunes config.
This config wont be another iTunes lookalike config, it will be the real iTunes lookalike config.

Im just left with the lybrary view to implement, then I will post it if anyone is interested.

If anyone is interested, let me know and i'll send you screen shots of the current features.

Thanks, BG for making this ish happen.

PS: how do you guys attach images in your post? I not sure how thats done, you have to see my config

Haha, I have two iTunesish configs and don't like either one all that much. What you got?

foo_bubble_coverflow.dll - v0.13
foobar2000 - v0.9.5

I tried upgrading from 0.11 to 0.13 and I am still encountering many problems.
- When added to the Columns layout, coverflow still appears in a separate window instead of in the embedded panel.
- Foobar crashes whenever I try to apply/save any changes to the coverflow configuration, which is still only available through the columns layout tree.
- My console is still spammed with "Could Not Unregister Class" messages.
- The foobar2000 process becomes a zombie and I must manually kill it if I exit foobar with coverflow running.

well mine looks as closest to iTunes more than any other itunes lookalike i've seen and/or used.

the only thing that is left with is the library view on the left hand panel, and the functionality to disable/enable tracks on playlist.

besides that, it is as close to itunes as foobar can get.

I wanted to include one screen shot of in this post, but I dont know how to do that 

anyway, give me you email address and Id will send a couple of screen shots.

@johnredcorn
I dont't understand, what do you mean?! They are the normal playlist switcher and -view with some modifications, all under PanelUI...

Hi bubbleguuum and big thanx !!

0.13 works fine now (main function in panel) in PanelsUI

i have detected a new pb : foobar crash when i put in settings of your coverflow a bad path for the nocover picture source.

PS: i haven't tested again the fullscreen mode yet (i'm at work now and can't do it before this evening)

Thanx again, you're a bugg-killer


fullscreen bugg always here with panelsUI, here is in 5 steps with screenshots what happens (often but not always, sometime it works!)

1) before double-click on coverflow backgroud :

new observation about fullscreen pb under PUI :
- fullscreen mode works well (under PUI) if nothing is playing !!! but position of the panel return to bad position if i play a song after going in fullscreen mode

so, pb is linked on the fact that a song is playing or not ... very strange no, any idea Bubble?

thanx

Yes I could reproduce all that. When playing , it looks like for some obscure reason, PUI is resizing / moving the window and I have no control over that. One solution would be that I launch a separate fullscreen instance of the standalone window  in full screen usig the panel settings. Quite a pain in the ass to manage if you ask me...

ok, windowed it is a solution, but in order to avoid problem in PUI, could you (please) add a arameter in settings that disable double-click on panel to go to fullscreen ?

this will allow to have a non bugged panel for PUI, what do you think about that ?

Here's 0.14 which is a bugfix release. I made the image brighter but reflection amount configurability will have to wait a bit. Reflection looks about OK with the camera near (itunes style) but not so great with the camera far so I'll rework them at some point.

@ Falstaff: found a solution to the PUI fullscreen problem, finally.

0.14

- fix: mipmaps setting remembered but mipmaps not generated on foobar relaunch
- fix: crash when playing, on next track change if playing track was not in the active playlist and "playback follow cursor" was disabled
- fix: hack to make switching to fullscreen with Panel UI work without artifacts
- chg: made the rendering of covers more bright
