hey! im fairly new to this forum but have been a guest reader for quite a long time now.

well now i have some questions about foobar .. hope somebody can help.

first of all i am using soap.fcs

i have the foo_uie_volume.dll in my components folder and the playlist sidebar enabled but i cant find the volume bar :s .. so i need help with that.

second question is how to display remaining time of a song in the status bar? can anyone post the code i have to put in global variables(?) or was is status bar formatting?

and finally my third question.. i enabled the rating column and have the foo_playcount.dll in the right folder but that also doesnt seem to work?!

well thank you ... calo- :D

EDIT: ok, counting works now but the rating seems a bit strange .. a file has been played once and gets 5 rating? here is the rating code:

$if(%_pc2rg_divider%,
$puts(xrating,$div(%play_time%,%_pc2rg_divider%)),
$puts(xrating,$if3(%rating%,%trackrating%)))
$ifgreater($get(xrating),6,$puts(xrating,6),)
$repeat(▪,$get(xrating))
%_lited%|%_lited%$repeat(▫,$sub(6,$get(xrating)))

shouldnt a file that has been played once have a low rating?

does this line in the global vars define the pc2rg_divider value?

$puts(pc2rg_divider,1)

heh...obivously my post was misread.

The database is enabled and directed properly.  If I open the Albumlist my albums and misc show up perfectly fine.  Those dlls I listed allow you to add a sidebar to columns_ui and within that sidebar have tabbed windows.  I'm trying to use foo_uie_albumlist.dll (or Albumlist Panel) to add my albumlist window to that sidebar tabbed panel.  The options for Albumlist and DBexplorer formatting show up in foobar options but NOT IN RIGHTCLICK 'ADD-> PANEL' menu in tabbed sidebar

like in this screenshot...albumlist in sidebar.

Hello orestes, please tell me how I can copy your Status bar at the bottom of your screenshot. I esp like the Times played bit :huh: :yes:

My sidebar/panel thingy has disappeared and i dont know how to get it back. I remember i hid it cause i wasn't using playlists at one point in time, but now i want them again. Anyone know how I can get it back?

Enable it in Preferences->Display->Columns UI->Sidebar options.

I should be grateful if you would tell me how to get the "played x times, Last Time Played" message in the status area at the bottom.

maybe this help.

$puts(lasttime,$if(%play_date%,'Last Time Played: '%play_date%' @ '%play_time%))

Enable it in Preferences->Display->Columns UI->Sidebar options.

Problem is, it's already enabled there. But the little space to the left where it should be, when I right click on it, nothing happens....

I might just uninstall and reinstall, it'd prolly be easiest.

You need to LEFT CLICK, at least right clicks have no effect here neither.

Anyway, if this was not your problem, try to install the lastest Columns_UI.

You can always check the "Preference->Component Libraries" to see if some component has failed to laod and can be causing some probs.

......

Very nice config/colors you have Orestes.

(Y)

Thank you so much for the code, Krpano.

However, I cannot get it to work. I am not sure where to paste it. Is this the right section:

Sry, im using a bit more data there....

for u, this would be enough

$if(%play_date%,'Last Time Played: '%play_date%' @ '%play_time%)

Dont forget u still need the component "foo_playcount" to use that string, if im not wrong.

:shifty:

ohhhh, right... yup. kind of a dumb mistake, i thought that the little resize arrow was to resize the entire window, but i just had the sidebar resized so that you can't even see it. thanks.

    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
    • At the moment I have my main PC and a test PC on my work desk. The test PC is also not inverted so I am not looking at the glass panel side, which is irritating.
    • I'm glad you posted this clarification of the cause of so-called Windows 11 update problems that too often appear in the article headlines.. In the future, it would be better to readers if you took your time, did the analysis before posting an article about Windows problems, which end up being a waste of time. Just saying.
    • Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
