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 :)

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

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*".

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
