[Foobar] Foo AvA by dawxxx666

August 19, 2007

Any chance of having "Power Panels" instead of the wsh panel. It appears to do the same thing.
It does not crash win xp sp2

:) just a thought

Power Panels

http://borgusiek.neostrada.pl/foobar/

Whoa. Actual clickable progress bars. Me likes.

August 19, 2007

You've obviously put a lot of work into this, but it shows. I'm almost tempted to migrate from Winamp :p

For those wondering why daw disappeared, check his deviantart page: http://dawxxx666.deviantart.com/

He wrote, "I'm on vacation, but I'll be back soon ;) Work on 1.4 in progress."

Anyways, here's to a great vacation and a speedy return with the new foo config :p

August 20, 2007

Finally I'm back :D Please be patient and give me 2 more weeks to finish 1.4 version.

@Rebus

Yes, I'm using Polish Power Panels instead of WSH panels cause it's stable :D

-----------

Thx to Quad Master for his great foo AvA's installation guide, I'll insert your full instruction instead of mine in first post.

Another problem. On titles with long names there's a (...) at the end, obviously. Problem is if the play count goes into double (or more) digits it meshes together with the (...) and it looks horrible. How do I make it so less characters have to be shown until (...) comes up so it can move back away from the play count?

Sorry, I'm using rating view so I didn't detect this problem. I'll fix it in 1.4 ver

I just realized I have the non-updating tooltip as well... It's not a big deal but a fix would be great. By the way, thanks so much for all your hard work, dawxxx666! I love 1.03!

It's PanelsUI bug. Minimized Foobar can't update any values.

good to hear daw... hopefully you'll be using the new Channel spectrum panel too... because it's transparent.

You can't even imagine the size of the smile on my face right now lol. Keep up the great work, looking forward to it! :D

August 21, 2007

good to know you're back man! those were some well-deserved vacations. :)

August 21, 2007

Of course, look at snapshot in that old POST

In that picture I used old version of Channel Spectrum panel, newest looks much better

Edit:

Wow, that's very nice. I can't wait to try out the new version!

August 21, 2007

hey, can someone upload it to neowin, or email it to me? Can't use sendspace

August 21, 2007

Hehe. It's good to be back so welcome everybody.

In the meantime I've decided to post some foo AvA's variations.

1)

iAvA - low version based on old Foo AvA smart wide:

*it's simplicity config in light blue (mac) color version

*I use Power Panels instead of WSH Panel

*this 'fooskin' is stable and much faster than AvA 1.03

*only left panel is changeable

*better songs name alignment (no more overlaping - too long titles are cutting, look at the snapshot) - I'll add this function to 1.4

Idea, colors and many, many other things by Konrado

Work in progress

------

2)

Modded AvA by dyniaq, who have rewrited whole code using new commands from PanelsUI 0.14.2 and made a lot of changes.

Work in progress

------

I'll try to post screens from 1.4 soon

the man is in da house!

August 22, 2007

looks awesome dawx... i have 1 question though, not sure if this is easy to code or even possible.. but do you have the ability to put in a configurable color, like under the main layout configuration say Blue(0,0,255), white (255,255,255) and have everything blue and white be changed according to those 2 options?

the things i like from Dyniaq's config are the menu text buttons up top and the thicker progress and volume bar. I always have trouble with the thin progress bar and trying to click it correctly because it's so small.. but it's looking very very hot, can't wait to use it.

August 22, 2007

Yes, but only that blue color can be changeable. I used images for: white background, white layouts, spectrum analyser and seekbars so it can't be done so easily.

August 22, 2007

Finally I'm back :D Please be patient and give me 2 more weeks to finish 1.4 version.

take your time no need to rush to please the crowed :)

y hallo thar

guys, i have a little problem with my foo and i can't seem to find the solution anywhere (ya i've read half of this thread and just couldn't find a thing).

i wanted to have my covers operated manually, so i created a folder called 'covers' in the foo directory. i put stuff there using the "artist - album.extension" scheme.

i have changed the code in globals like said here:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?show...#entry588658586

yeah, seems fine up to this point. BUT! although thumbnails are shown near the artist/date/album entry, no covers are displayed in the 'cover art' field.

like here:

http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/728/yarrhu6.jpg

i tried restarting foo, rebooting the system etc etc.

so what do i do?

August 22, 2007

I'm using

// Covers (front, back &amp; artist) path
$setpvar(MyCoverPath,
$if(
$fileexists($replace(%foobar_path%\covers\%artist% - %album%.jpg,?,)),
$replace(%foobar_path%\covers\%artist% - %album%.jpg,?,),
    $if(
        $fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*front*.jpg)),
        $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*front*.jpg),
            $if(
                $fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*folder*.jpg)),
                $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*folder*.jpg),
                $if(
                    $fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*Cover*.jpg)),
                    $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*Cover*.jpg),
                        $if(
                            $fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*front*.png)),
                            $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*front*.png),
                            $if(
                                $fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*folder*.png)),
                                $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*folder*.png),
                                $if(
                                    $fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*Cover*.png)),
                                    $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*Cover*.png),
                                    $if(
                                        $fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*%album%*.png)),
                                        $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*%album%*.png),
                                        $if(
                                            $fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*%album%*.jpg)),
                                            $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*%album%*.jpg),
						$if(
						$fileexists($replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.JPG)),
						$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,*.JPG),
						)
                                            )
                                      )
                                 )
                            )
                       )
                 )
            )
      )
)
)

and it works fine. Of course that "cover" directory is in 'Program Files/Foobar2000/covers/'

August 22, 2007

damn, that didn't work well for me.

but i figured it out!

in case anyone had the same problem:

right-click the empty space where the album art should be, go to preferences.

then sources, click add and add a similar line:

"*:/Program Files/foobar2000/Covers/%artist% - %album%.jpg". move it up, 'til it's the first position, click apply and that should do.

thx anyway, guys.

August 22, 2007

do u need any testers dawxxx ?

p.s glad to see your back

August 22, 2007

I do. If U be so nice and share Ur opinions and test my config it'd be great :)

August 22, 2007

@czincz

Haha, you should told us that you are using album art panel instead of default settings :D Glad you fix it yourself

do u need any testers dawxxx ?

Hmm, beta test would be really useful. I'll add some functions and send you on PM.

Regards

---------

Just one more thing:

The main purpose of creating iAvA was: to create foobar config which run fast, looks simplicity and have all necessary functions. I'm in consternation how slow new versions of popular PanelsUI's configs can be (unlikely even including my foo AvA 1.03 in transparency mode), o please don't expect to much buttons and functions like visualisations instead of cover etc. ;)

Edit:

@dyniaq

Welcome on neowin.net mate :cool:

August 22, 2007

Wow, that color selection looks hot!

People are going to love how versatile your Foo can be!

I'd love to test your betas too :]

August 23, 2007

same. Send me a pm also dawxxx. You are the reason I switched from Winamp to Foobar, and use foobar exclusively now. I would love to beta test for you.

August 23, 2007

sure i will test it just shoot me a pm

August 23, 2007

Finally I'm back biggrin.gif Please be patient and give me 2 more weeks to finish 1.4 version.
