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 ^^)

    • We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager

      By Steven P. · Posted

      We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk; I figured it could offer some neck pain relief. What's in the box: SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager Rechargeable Battery (inside massager) Type-C USB cable User Manual Quick Start guide 1-Year Warranty In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official listing, here are the key features: Biomimetic Kneading & High Torque Motor: Designed with innovative biomimetic kneading heads that perfectly simulate the touch of human hands. Powered by a high-torque motor, this massager delivers powerful and precise deep tissue relief to effectively target stiff neck muscles and release built-up tension Soothing Heat & Integrated Sound Relaxation: Experience the ultimate Relaxationation with our dual-action approach. The soothing heat function gently warms your neck, while the built-in sound Relaxation provides calming audio tracks, helping you achieve a state of mindfulness and mental tranquility during your physical massage Cordless Convenience & Travel-Ready & Father's Day Gifts: Crafted for maximum portability and ease of use. Its lightweight, cordless design allows you to enjoy a premium massage anywhere without the hassle of tangled wires-whether you're taking a quick break at your desk or winding down at home Versatile Relief for Home & Office: An essential wellness companion for office workers, gamers, frequent travelers, or anyone looking to integrate mindfulness into their daily routine. It seamlessly fits into your lifestyle, providing instant neck relief whenever and wherever you need it Safe & Premium Materials: Manufactured with high-quality, skin-friendly materials to ensure a safe and comfortable experience without irritation. SKG backs this device with dedicated customer service, making it a thoughtful tech-health gift for family and friends App & Bluetooth Music Control: Connect via Bluetooth to control your massage settings through the dedicated app and enjoy your favorite music during your massage session for a fully customizable and immersive relaxation experience Red Light Warmth Technology: Features advanced red light warmth technology that penetrates deep into neck muscles to enhance blood circulation and provide soothing comfort while relieving muscle tension and stiffness Design With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. SKG does not say what materials are used to make the neck massager. However, on the product website, it mentions "soft-touch silicone" with what looks like PU leather cushioning, with the rest being mostly made up of plastics. On the inside of the massager, there are two "biomimetic kneading heads" that are motorized for the different styles of massage, which are not actually listed at all in the paper user manual, but the standard included modes are: De-stress mode, Mediation mode, Relax mode, Shiatsu mode. The massager looks quite premium and is actually very comfortable to wear. This massager is small and light enough to go anywhere, as it doesn't get in the way of anything, so I was able to use it in the chair while writing this review. Unlike the back massager, SKG does not warn in the user guide not to use it for more than 30 minutes a day (or two 15-minute sessions). However, there is a long laundry list of important safeguards to consider before and during the use of the device, and it is warned that the neck massager is not waterproof. It also includes a 1,400mAh battery with a rated power of 14W and input of 5V, which is the standard for up to USB 3.0 power (although the Amperage is not mentioned at all). SKG does not say how long it takes to charge, but a quick calculation at 2A (if that is what it is) would mean it would take roughly 1.5 hrs to charge from empty. In any case, the light around the button changes from orange to green on a full charge. In addition, it is not possible to use the device while it is charging. On the right of the neck massager is the On/Off and modes button, which also acts as a joystick. You can operate all the modes directly from the power button, as well as the app, which I'll get into a bit later: Push up: Short press to adjust Heat levels On/Off button: long press Mode Switching: Short press (while in operation) ➕ Push left: increase Music volume ➖ push right: decrease Music volume Push down: Short-press to turn Music on or off The massager defaults to De-stress mode, and it is not stated anywhere if the neck massager has overheat protection. This time around, regarding heat, the only detail I could find is that it has "triple action soothing heat." The temperature stages are not listed anywhere in the paper manual, Amazon listing, or official website. The heat levels can be adjusted through the app or directly on the device using the joystick button. Usage There's also the SKG Health app, which makes using the massager far easier than feeling around for the button on the side of your neck. If the app is stopped, you are required to log in with a verification code over email, which I am not too pleased with, as this means it will only work that way for however long SKG decides to support it through said app. However, I was not able to get the app to connect to the OS500, which I have reported back to my contact. Bluetooth appeared to be working on the neck massager as it became available to pair with my phone, but the SKG app failed to discover it. Before I forget, there's also a switch next to the USB charging port to deactivate and activate the Voice Prompt, which, when enabled, audibly tells the user when switching intensities, modes, or connecting to the app and informs when the massages start and are completed. That said, on to my likes and dislikes, which are listed below. What I didn't like Unable to connect the Neck Massager to the app Use through the mobile app relies on continued support from SKG What I liked Can be used without the app Cordless use Light and comfortable to wear Heat is also quite comfortable Where to buy: According to the official website, this has an MSRP of $249.99, but is currently $50 (on Amazon). To sweeten the deal a bit more, there's also an in-page coupon that knocks a further $20 off the price. SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager for $179.99 on Amazon (was $199.99) Apply the in-page $20 off coupon for the final price of $179.99 Just like the back massager, this gets a confused thumbs up (due to the cost). However, I cannot rate it through app usage as it failed to connect. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

      Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
