Can anyone help me get Play count working? I installed the foo_playcount_mod.dll and foo_playcount_mod.cpp file in the components directory. But it doesn't work

Preferences [CTRL+P]->Tools->Play count mod and select this option:

86128305fr0.jpg

If it still not working, change Tags type to Playback_statistics: PLAY_COUNT and insert %play_count% instead of all %play_counter% in my code.

first of all, thank you for your amazing work!

one newbie question: I installed all plugins and it seems to work, but I can't see the symbols below the timeline (cover art, playlist switcher etc.). They are as black as the background. Any Ideas?

Reinstall my images (check if you have foobar2000/PanelsUI/images/FooAVA/S/)

just stop being lazy a$$ and search through this topic, I posted already explanation how to make it work :rolleyes:

Shadow, i have used ur explanation, but play-count not working here.

screenshot for explanation please

in advanced --> taging> i use " id3v2 writer compatibility mode.

I'm having some real issues getting this awesome skin working correctly - by the looks of it, I'm not getting any of the Direct X 6 effects (I'm presuming that's the reason why there's a .DX6 file included)? I'm a foobar noob, so be gentle.

foo1.jpg

Here's my configuration screen; as you can see there isn't a .DX6 file to choose from despite it being in both the root foobar directory and \PanelsUI\.

foo2.gif

Any ideas? I am running a 965G (meaning it's integrated graphics) so it's possible that it's a driver problem...

The DX6 file is the config for the skins-config window. It has nothing to do with directX6.

In your case it seems like the pictures are in the wrong directory and foobar can't find them.

if you have the pui and the dx6-file in your panelsui directory, the images should be in PanelsUI\images\fooAVA\...

The directory structure would look something like this:

Reinstall my images (check if you have foobar2000/PanelsUI/images/FooAVA/S/)

thank you, this worked out.

But a new problem showed up. Most of my albums don't have a cover, although I implemented the covers in their tags, which worked out pretty well when I was using Album Art for Winamp before. I tried out just downloading the covers from amazon.com and copying them in the album folder. Now, the covers will show in the Album List of Foobar, but they won't appear as bigger images when I play these albums. How can I fix that?

this didn't help, but renaming the cover file to "front" did! :)

I am not really eager to download covers for almost 300 albums by hand and then rename them one by one to "front" :D

do you know a programm which can perform these operations (and which works without Microsofts ****ing Framework...)?

Analconda could you not just change the path where foo looks for images in your Globals?

i think summit like

$if(
$fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.jpg)),
$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.jpg),
)

should load any jpg from the album folder

also i use bulk rename utility for mass renaming

Sorry, justa quick question i found this: http://lithos.blog.kataweb.it/lithos/2005/...r_bonus_pa.html

which appears to be a preconfigured foobar. I was under the impression that this was not allowed.

is this the case?

You can find my comment there:

(...)However, what is most important, licence of foobar2000 said that you shouldn't edit foobar setup without Peter Pawlowski's permission...

Thanks, :) sorry should have read it more carefully, still you cant assume someone callingthemselves 'dawxxx666' on one forum is the same person as someone else calling themselves the same thing elsewhere. Id imagine there are plenty of Neobond impersonators.

Thanks a lot.

1. in playlist, right click --> sort group by--> Artist/date /album

3. in left top ---> left click ---> view--->playlist manager ---> and u can change the name of playlist.

2. j'ai pas bien compris la question

regards

Thanks dawxxx666 but how to have wall with Visualisation ?

3. in left top ---> left click ---> view--->playlist manager ---> and u can change the name of playlist.

I don't have Playlist manager en left top (foobar logo).

1. I won't explain this again. You can't find this 'feature' in 1.03 ver.

2. Just click 'Playlist switcher' button, then right click on playlist->rename...

Hi, meanwhile I could figure out some things by trial and error, but there are three questions left (propably ridiculous):

1. how can I sort the albums in album list by artist and not by albumname? I tried changing the order in preferences-->media library-->album list, but it had no effect!?

2. I want albums and tracks to be enqueued by double-clicking them in album list. How can this be achieved?

3. Clicking on the player in the taskbar does not minimize it.... any suggestions?

thanks a lot for your help and keep up the good work! :)

Many thanks man, that got it.

I was installing to the root foobar directory, instead of the PanelsUI directory as I should of been.

I love this skin! I finally managed to make it work! I have 3 last questions though:

How can I make the background of the cover on the cover pannel trasnsparent? (see image)

Where is the lyrics pannel? I wanna be able to read the lyrics.

And How can I change the album info on the playlist?

I want to make it look this way:

"artist"

"album name"

"year"

Ok, I'm fairly new to Foobar, so sorry if this question is asked frequently or something.

Foo AvA_DX6 seemed to install fine, I didn't have any trouble setting up, except for one thing:

It displays "UNKNOWN FUNCTION" repeatedly in some areas on the UI (circled in the attached picture).

Anyone know why it's doing this, and how I can fix it?

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more.

And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install.

This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop.

The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation.

Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers.
