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.

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.

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.
    • Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
