This happens when I'm using the lyrics over the album art feature.

Changing to the lyrics panel, gives the first effect.

changing back to the album art panel gives the second effect.

It looks like lyric show starts forgetting to repaint the background outside the area specified by the album art panel.

Is this a problem with the lyrics show plugin or something that can be fixed with the PanelUI scripting?

I think I found a bug in miniplayer. At random basis something like this happens (icons and IM client were removed from the picture):

Real miniplayer is on the right.

I'm having this problem too. I'm also getting random crashes, but I think that may have something to do with my recent Windows XP System Restore.

Anyone fixed this Miniplayer issue? Other than that, everything works PERFECTLY. I am truly in awe of this Foobar setup.

BTW, props to dawxxx666. You are a Foobar Gawd.

No luck here.

I think it have something to do with refresh of window content. Even in normal mode there are some issues with refresh (SQL Managment Studio slowing down noticeably when using "Open Table").

Hi Dawxxx666,

I have several Problems with the new version:

The 3 icons I am used to right under the playlist are gone. The ones that were to load files from disc, hide the scrollbar and to focus the currently playing track. The functions still work, but the buttons don't show.

Even though I downloaded the playlist dropdown plugin, which has vanished from the first post, I still have that ugly windows-style playlist dropdown.

When I switch to the Album Art Display I can press the side of the cd-case wich lightens up when I hover over it. After pressing it, weird stuff happens, like lyrics or the playlist showing up over the cd-case.

In an older version of FooAVA I was able to adjust the volume bar on my own so that it would have such a nasty way of changing volume. What i mean is that the first 2/3 of the volumebar are almost silence and then the last third rapidly increases the volume. That makes it quite unintuitive to handle. In the new version I don't quite know how to do that on my own because I guess you are using a different component.

Where did the "Visualisation"-button go?? I liked the integrated visualisations.

I seem to be missing all the buttons in mini-mode. I compared my version to the screenshots of users and they have a lot of buttons in mini-mode. Then I just tried clicking where the buttons are supposed to be and indeed they are still there, but they just don't show up again.

Is there a way to change the playback control buttons in normal mode back to the old glowing blue style? I liked that very much and now there is just too much contrast for my taste with the whole lot of white in there.

When I press the "search"-Button the search input field appears, but the search button vanishes and I can't close the search input field. I tried pressing exactly next to the search field and it closes, but there is no visible button once again.

One last not so very important thing: In some older version you used to have a lot more different wallpapers, where did they go?

There was one I was especially fond of. Is there any way to make those older wallpapers available again?

If any of these problems have already been solved in this thread I am very sorry, but this thread has amounted up to over 60 pages and I gave up after about 30.

Regards,

Jan

-- The playlist changer at the top is just a normal window style menu. It doesn't use playlist dropdown plugin. So what you see here is normal and downloading playlist dropdown plugin will not change anything.

For your another question: It's either "I don't know" or "You need to edit the code". I still use self modded 1.03 so I can't help you here.

Help?

(Disregard the yellow, I did that)

The problem shown above is that the current Playlist name disappears when a song has stopped.

Just wanted to say that I have that problem too, tried to fix it... but couldn't.

That problem exists if you're using PanelsUI 0.14.9 (or lower) with the config in Foo 103+ and Foo104.

For myself, I couldn't fix it because I have the cleartype problem (which requires me to use PanelsUI 0.14.9beta to remedy it.) But if you don't have the cleartype problem for 103+ or 104, you can use the newer beta version of PanelsUI, 0.14.12. That should do it for you.

For people like me who like to keep the PanelsUI 0.14.9beta for the cleartype problem, I've tried to fix the problem above by frankensteining the code from Foo103 into Foo103+ and 104 but that didn't work. And got stumped. Maybe one of you guys can give it a try..

Also, I found out today.. (yeah I'm late on the latest news)

- Development of Panels UI appears to have ceased as of July 2007. website

(so that means 0.14.12 beta is the last?)

- There's a new version of Foobar.. 0.9.5.1 website

(I haven't tried that new one, so I don't know if it will help solve any probs you guys are having)

- Dawxxx666 is making a new Foo skin, FooDX website

As stated before, he won't be able to help people with their codes because he's working on newer versions.

Like BKT, I'm using my own modified version of Foo 103+ so I can't really help other people who are using 104 or trying to find a specific problem that I might have already altered in my version. All I can suggest is to try to find exactly where your problems lie and to mess with the code, (search the wiki and see how titleformatting and other codes work, try swapping components to older versions, and just remember to back up your config before you make some major changes.

The wallpapers are located in C:\Program Files\foobar2000\PanelsUI\AvA 1.04\images\fooAVA\walls\

You should be able to place any jpg in there and AvA settings will find it.

Menu->Playback->Cursor Follows Playback

=====================================

I've just uploaded fixed version of FOOAvA 1.04 on my website (www.dawxxx666.neostrada.pl).

Changelog:

- problems with mini-player finally solved (probably, I'm not sure about the vista 64's issue, I don't have this OS to test)

- some minor tweaks

It's my last release with old design (the reason was that code bacame too complicated and... I'm just bored with fooAvA's style). Next version would be completely different, look at the screenshots:

Is there anyway to add "remove from playlist" to the context menu? Been looking for a command under [ROOT] insert commands but the only thing there is "remove from library".

I just dont like having to set a keyboard shortcut to remove an item from a playlist. Would be so much easier to just right click and "remove from playlist". :)

Damn, my code is becoming too complicated even for me :s I can't help you and there won't be any fixed version of fooAvA 1.04...

It`s working for another several hours now and there`s no error till now. Strange.

I know that there won`t be any new fooAvA 1.04 releases, I was talking about your new config. :) Any thoughts when you will release it ? Looks great.

Hi everybody,

first, dawxxx666, congratulations for your AvA skin, it's one of the best I've ever seen for a media player (too bad for your boring about the actual AvA style and for the future WMP style... but... you are the boss :D)

I have a question, I'm on the 1.04 and I have a strange problem : the playlist switcher doesn't work if I deactivated the Background mode.

Is it a known bug or anything else ? (I prefer the smooth of the wheel navigation in the playlist when there is no background).

Thanks a lot for answering me (and sorry for my english level ^^)

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
