Hey I just downloaded foobar2000 cause I saw how great everyone can make it look.

Is there a starting tutorial on how to customise it? Or is it better to trail through all of the threads in this topic.

Thanks.

EDIT:

No worries, I looked through most of the posts. found what I need :) I'm sure there will be many more questions from me in this thread. And can I just say, u guys are pro.

Really really nice em3! Made my own mod of yours already lol, nothing serious though!

Only problem i have is, it doesn't show the full track title, i looked through the code but couldn't find nothing, any ideas?

Here's mine so far.

^Maybe there is something wrong with the tagging on your mp3. I've inserted code to cut the text if it's too long (60% of the total trackinfo width) but I don't think that is the issue. I tested a lot to make it work correctly.

Nothing wrong with MP3 tagging, it's all done correctly :( It's really buggin me too! I've tried to change the value of totaltrack info width but no luck :(

Thanks anyways.

Try replacing the beginning of the global code with this. If it doesn't help it's most likely the track trimming that mess up, which I'm rewriting a little as we speak.

// Global
$puts(tracktitle,%artist% - %title%)

No luck i'm affraid :(

^Ok try this. I've rewritten the text trimming code. Replace all // Global code with the code below.

// Global
$puts(tracktitle,
$if($meta_test(artist),%artist%,$substr(%_filename%,1,$sub($strstr(%_filename%, - ),1)))
$if($or($meta_test(artist,title),$strstr(%_filename%, - )), - )
$if($or($meta_test(title),$not($strstr(%_filename%, - ))),
%title%,$substr(%_filename%,$add($strstr(%_filename%, - ),3),$len(%_filename%))))

$puts(freespace,$div($sub(%_width%,38,$calcwidth($get(tracktitle)),$calcwidth(%album%)),2))

$if(%album%,
$ifgreater($get(freespace),14,
$puts(areaWidth1,$add($calcwidth($get(tracktitle)),$get(freespace)))
$puts(areaWidth2,$add($calcwidth(%album%),$get(freespace))),
$puts(areaWidth1,$sub($muldiv(%_width%,60,100),30))
$puts(areaWidth2,$sub($muldiv(%_width%,40,100),10)))
,$puts(areaWidth1,$sub(%_width%,36)))

$puts(charWidth1,$div($calcwidth($get(tracktitle)),$len($get(tracktitle))))
$puts(charWidth2,$div($calcwidth(%album%),$len(%album%)))

Hope you like it.

And now for something completely different :shifty:

Any plans for releasing your Zelda Remix... I'm quite interested ^^

Tried it, it's just the same, it seems to be cutting the last word of each track title no matter how long or short the track title is? Apprciate all your hard work though!

@Primie:

Looks as if it's using ID3v1 tags, they have a maximum length limit..

If your music contains both ID3v1 and v2, try removing the v1 tags.

This may also occur if you have APE tags present (used by replay gain programs, sometimes)

You can change in the foobar preferences whether to use ID3v1 or v2 by default when tagging files (check under the advanced section).

It's already on ID3v2! lol.

How do you show the total number of tracks?

em3: Looks great, if I hadn't just set up a config I really liked then I'd switch...

Here's mine, the code is all on hydrogenaudio.

Does anyone know how to fix the problem with songtitles overlapping the track length?

If you use

$alignabs(X,Y,w,h,H,V)%title%

text should be cropped correctly

Hope that works!

From foobar wiki:

X & Y

Specify the position of the bounding rectangle (can be a negative value).

(W)idth & (H)eight

Specify the bounding rectangle for the text.

H & V

Specify the alignment as above.

edit: sorry for that big codebox, can't get it smaller....

Where can I find that Single ColumnUI config?

    • RTD and Bad Wolf out Everybody lied, there was never a Christmas script done, even though they said there was RTD brought it back then killed it with the PC overload and garbage nonsensical stories Who knows what production company will want to drink from the poisoned chalice now. The squandered opportunity with the Disney partnership will go down in production folklore
    • Problem with that is Vivaldi is the slowest chromium browser I have ever used. I keep trying it every few months in case performance has improved. ...and it's not due to specs or config. 5900x/32gigs/RTX3080 here, Win 11 25H2 etc.
    • My only concern would be the state of the battery. I'd be getting one from a place you trust and perhaps has a decent warranty.
    • Like yourself Steven P I have watched it from the days of William Hartnell, It was good when we had the Darlek's and the Cybermen. Sad to see one of the longest running shows in the world die a sad death.  
    • My problem with FF is I have to jump through hoops to get at least somewhat close to what Vivaldi gives me out of the box, with no real advantage that would make it worth my while. (But hey, apparently there's now at least experimental support for HDR in FF. I mean it's about a decade too late, but still...finally!) Brave I was never the least interested in, never saw the point, not to mention there's been quite a bit of drama surrounding them over the years. But I've been a faithful and very happy Opera user all the way back to 2001(ish), so once Vivaldi showed up following that awkward period of time after the key people left Opera and the company was sold, I never really looked back. And they never once made me question my choices.
