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?

hi, first i install only foobar2000_0.9.5.exe, then i downloaded all plugins and then install FOOAvA_1_04_by_dawxxx666.exe. everything works fine. only.. i don't know how to remove song from playlist, because shorcuts (del) doesn't working, and there is no item in menu. when i install only clean foobar all shortcuts works, like a Z X C V B del .... thanx

[BKT]

and there is no item in menu

- What do you mean? If you click at the upper left button (left of the "search" button) in FooAvA, Is there anything show?

[suzique]

when i click at the main menu, there isn't item somthing like "remove". and when i click right mouse button (context menu) there is nothing too. i don't know where to find some command how to remove file. shorcuts doesn't work too :((

[BKT]

You can add them yourself.

Go preference > keyboard shortcut and add new key (delete key is a good idea), and at "filter list by" box type "remove" and select remove command.

You can do the same in context menu too add them.

Its the scripting of the Lyrics, you gotta adjust the size, same happens when you just use the Lyrics View and enlarge the screen ;P

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.

I reinstalled due to problems with foobar not finding my songs, now when I skip to a random track, the playlist doesn't scroll to highlight the currently playing song

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

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:

[carini]

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". :)

[dawxxx666]

Maybe foo_utils component is what you're looking for:

http://foosion.foobar2000.org/components/?id=utils

It adds new options in context menu: "Edit/Remove from playlist"

Yep that was the plugin I was looking for. :)

Yep works like a charm now. Thanks for your great work and keep it coming ;)

PS: Nowa wersja wygląda super.

[Gubrin]

Ok I`ve been too quick with that post. After several hours of listening to music in mini mode, same error appears (Win XP). Hope you`ll fix it in your new release.

[dawxxx666]

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...

[Gubrin]

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.

Gubrin

[dawxxx666]

I can't tell you when exactly, It'd be ready when it's ready ;) I plan to add settings window, mini-mode, collection panel and some other features.

Recently started using foobar with this great skin, I'm having one problem though don't know if this is a vista/foobar problem but when I click play all in any music folder that has more than 15 tracks in they open WMP instead and play the songs, but if the folder has less then 15 tracks they play in foobar

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[gruute]

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 ^^)
