Foobar2000 Customization Topic


Recommended Posts

Hey all. I was just wondering if this is possible:

when I double click an album in the grid view it starts playing (and loads up the tracks) but can I get foobar to send the current tracks enqued to play to the left pane (where 'Default' is located)?

It would be a lot easier to flick through tracks this way. I'd appreciate it :)

Is there any modern version that looks and BEHAVES just like foo ava? All the features from foo ava was very intuitive customisable for the foo noob. Who has switched from foo ava? Any recommendations?

I'm trying out the foo_uie_biography component but it has an annoying bug where the second (and subsequent) paragraphs all have an additional space at the start. I can't find any way to stop it doing this.

Switched over from my simple columns ui setup to a simple default UI setup.

Using foo_facets component for the columns/search on the left, foo_simplaylist, and foo_quicksearch set to inline search of active playlist, working wonderfully :)

That looks great. I personally can't seem to get things like that done with FB2k. Hell, I can't even get Album art working.

The above took me just a few minutes :). The album art/playlist layout is just the default look of simplaylist: http://www.hydrogena...showtopic=88411

To make the layout I just used the default ui's live editing mode. added a few splitters and elements, tweaked it a bit and bam :)

I exported that layout if you want to try it, just make sure you have the following components installed and then go into the settings and import the .fth file:

simplaylist and simplaylist manager:

http://www.foobar200...foo_simplaylist

http://www.foobar200...laylist_manager

Facets: http://www.foobar200...view/foo_facets

quicksearch: http://www.foobar200...foo_quicksearch

Thanx Viper, will give it a shot.

Edit:

Can't figure out how to import the .fth file. Got it. LOL! Looks great thank you!

Here's a screen and no album art:

Edit:

Got it. I had to tell Fb2k where the cover was even though it's in the same folder. Go figure.

Is all of your album art named consistently? All I do is put the album art as "folder.jpg" in the album folder and foobar automatically picks it up (this works with most other media players too). by default in foobar it will automatically pick up:

front.jpg

cover.jpg

%filename%.jpg

%album%.jpg

folder.jpg

You can add more search patterns in preferences > display > album art

Yes. They are all named cover.jpg. All the albums are in their own folder so it shouldn't have been an issue. What version of Fb2k are you running? I'm on 1.1.13.

1.1.14, but this has always worked for me with foobar, some of my album art is named cover.jpg too and they also work fine. My music is organized the same way yours is. Mine actually seems to be picking up any .jpg files in the album folder actually, I ran a search and I found a few cover images that weren't named cover, folder, or front and they still display fine.

What search patterns are listed on your foobar install under preferences > display > album art > front cover?

A little help with album art needed I've tried everything i could think of but is there any script i could add here to point the viewer to any file name with "front" in it?

am using columns ui.

Note the setting, "Built-in foobar2000 artwork reader mode". By default, Columns UI uses the built-in artwork reader, so there should be no need to configure this. Just try using a wildcard, e.g. "path\front*".
