Foobar2000 Customization Topic


Recommended Posts

Ok guys, I'm a noob when it comes to foobar.

How do I fix this(see pic) to show the album title instead of single tracks?

You need to have the total tracks section of the tag filled in.

You can select all your music at once, go to properties and select auto-tag in the total tracks box to make it happen easily.

Well, being a LONG time Winamp user (1998!) I've decided to make the switch over to foobar (and VLC for video, epic win).

I have a couple things I want it to do that I'm sure a plug in would do, but I'm failing to find it.

I'd like foobar to fade out the audio when I hit close (nit-picky, I know), instead of the FDOSIJG noise it does when I hit close now. Like I said, I'm sure theres a plug in to achieve this, or maybe even an option in foobar that's already present, but I can't find it.

Second, is there a good source for toolbar buttons? The current buttons are ass ugly, and I need a couple more than what's present.

Thank yooouu.

Anyone who customizes foobar with Panels UI ought to be aware that Panels UI (and a heap of other components) will not work with the upcoming version (0.9.3) of foobar2000 due to a popular (but very much abused) API being removed.

Columns UI still works, however.

I encountered that yesterday and had to roll back to the latest stable build. I hope the dev of PanelsUI comes out of hiding and releases a working version before final.

here is Peter's, the developers explination.

http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=564566

The problem with the metadb_display_hook API is that it was designed assuming that people who use the SDK read the documentation/specifications and think about consequences of what they create. Clearly that was a horrible mistake.

Nearly all the people implementing this API haven't read the documentation at all or are intentionally ignoring what the documentation says and creating halfworking crap to keep users requesting new title formatting functions happy.

In my opinion, title formatting has became a disease that eats people's brains out. Nuking of component-provided title formatting functions is necessary so we can evaluate what it is that people need those functions for and perhaps provide properly working means to achieve the same, without halfworking hacks such as title formatting functions to control playback / playlist switching / etc involved (clearly forbidden by the metadb_display_hook specification but implemented by circulating components anyway).

I see that some features of Panels UI depend on metadb_display_hook too. This is another example of component author's incompetence and ignoring what the specification says - metadb_display_hook is not meant for implementing context-specific features such as variables, for an example, Columns UI is completely unaffected by this change just because its author knows what he is doing.

Finally, I'd like to point that it's very easy to add entirely new APIs to foobar2000's component interaction model. Component authors could have easily created a new API for providing extensible script-like functions as well as dealing with the refreshability problem and set the rules regarding what is legit and what is not themselves BUT NOOO it's so much more fun to bend the existing thing and break the rules, creating security holes or other possible crashes on invalid user input etc.

Why the upcoming version would be 0.9.3, when we reach 0.9.5.2 already?

Shouldn't it be 0.9.6 or something?

I was trying to use Reflex, but I just can't locate foo menu addons. The developers blog keeps giving me connection error :( , so I was wondering if anyone can upload it or something. Thanks (P.S. I did google, but nothing came up)
