I have another problem, every time you play music from a DVD. I get this window.

This is probably caused by the Play Count Mod attempting to add it's tags to the audio file. Play Count Mod settings are found under Tools in foobar preferences.

If you don't use the play count info, you can set the "Skip tracks NOT in DB by filetype:" to *

That should make Play Count ignore all files that aren't in you Media Library (I'm assuming that's the DB they're talking about; I could be wrong though)

I can't get it to align with the reflect, no matter how I resize the foobar window, what could be the problem? It was normal on my first installation.

In the code for the album art panel (rightclick on the panel and choose settings), about half way down is the code for placing the reflected spectrum. Probably the easiest way to find it is to copy the entire page of code into notepad and search for vis.reflect

The lines you're looking fore are:

$panel(Spectrum analyser4,Channel spectrum panel,1,$sub(%_height%,122),$eval({%_width%}/2+3),35,)
$panel(Spectrum analyser14,Channel spectrum panel,2,$sub(%_height%,86),$eval({%_width%}/2+3),25,)

Notice the 1 and the 2 after "Channel spectrum panel". Those are the horizontal position.

To make them align change the 2 to 1 or the 1 to 2 so they're the same.

There are a few other spectrum analyser blocks on this page of code. You can take a look at those and make minor changes there also to see if it changes what you want.

Always good to have a backup of the code in notepad or elsewhere in case you can't figure out how to get back to where it works if you broke something.

Personally, I usually leave the spectrum off because of the extraordinary amount of CPU time it demands (added my own $ifequal($getpvar(vis.reflect),1, at the around the spectrum blocks so I could use the reflect option in settings to turn it on and off)

Thanks for your reply and very informative help :)

Though I don't even seem to have that specific piece of code in the album art code (I right-clicked on the cover art and chosed settings). I did a search in notepad for "vis.reflect" and "Spectrum" but they gave me no results. Can I put in the code manually?

Thank you once again for taking time to help me :)

This is what's at the top of the code. I guess it's the first code page you see when you go to Preferences > Panel UI > Edit Layout.

Hey guys,

I just got this script installed but there's one thing I can't figure out: why the library isn't working. I went into Setttings>Media Library and added my the root folder of my music library, yet when I click the 'A' on the bottom right for 'Album List', it only displays the album that I'm currently playing, like so:

What am I doing wrong? Also, what is quick search and how do I access it?

Similar problem, is coverflow working for you. I get a text error or something

By coverflow you mean does it show album covers properly? I don't get any text errors, but it still doesn't work right. For example, when start the playback of an album (through the default ugly album browser, since the graphical one doesn't work), it momentarily flashes the correct album cover and goes to 'no cover art' right afterwards.

Graphical Browser displays active playlist only. This is how foo_uie_graphical_browser works. Covers for Chronflow should be called "folder.jpg", you can change it in Preferences->Display->Chronflow->Album Source->Sources

So what you're saying is that FooAva doesn't allow for a sexy album library browsing interface, only for the current/active playlist?

I have the exact same issue with Coverflow.

I've downloaded and installed the Windows Script Control that is required.

I love the skin, but the one thing I think is really lacking is the scroll bars not being coloured. They just look out of place compared to the rest of the skin!

    • Google begins rolling out its post-Epic Play Store billing model next week by Karthik Mudaliar Google has confirmed that its redesigned Play Store billing and fee structure will take effect on June 30, 2026, in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Economic Area. The changes will let eligible developers offer their own payment systems or send users to an external website for purchases, while separating Google’s platform service fee from the cost of using Google Play Billing. The rollout puts concrete dates and detailed rate cards behind the broader Android policy overhaul Google announced in March. That announcement followed a proposed settlement with Epic Games intended to resolve their long-running disputes over app distribution and payments, although the U.S. portion of the agreement still requires court approval. Under the new billing choice program, developers selling digital content or services can display an alternative payment option alongside Google Play Billing. They may also direct users to their own websites to complete a purchase. Developers can use Google’s standard payment-choice screen or design one that complies with the company’s user-interface rules. Choosing another payment processor does not eliminate Google’s cut altogether. The company will continue charging a service fee for transactions associated with apps distributed through Google Play, regardless of whether payment is handled by Google, an alternative provider, or a developer’s website. Google argues that this fee covers the value and infrastructure provided by Android and the Play Store. For developers earning up to $1 million annually, the service fee will generally be 10 percent. That rate also applies to auto-renewing subscriptions. When Google Play Billing is used in the U.S., U.K., or EEA, Google will add a separate 5 percent billing fee, and developers processing payments elsewhere will not pay that additional charge. This means Google’s familiar flat 30 percent commission is disappearing, but developers will not necessarily see a dramatic reduction on every transaction. An in-app purchase from an existing user processed through Google Play Billing can still reach a combined 30 percent. The biggest savings are likely to come from subscriptions, smaller developers covered by the $1 million tier, and companies able to move customers to their own payment infrastructure. Google is also offering lower rates through its Apps Experience and revamped Games Level Up programs. Apps and games that satisfy the company’s requirements can qualify for 15 percent service fees on new-install transactions and 20 percent on existing-install transactions. The criteria include performance and reliability standards, support for additional Android device categories, and selected platform features. Those program rates are scheduled to become available in the initial markets and Australia on September 30. For consumers, the immediate effect will depend on whether developers adopt alternative payments and pass any savings on through lower prices. For developers, however, June 30 begins a more flexible but considerably more complicated Play Store economy in which distribution, billing, install dates, revenue thresholds, and program participation can each affect Google’s final cut. Google is also separately developing a Registered App Stores program designed to simplify the installation of qualifying third-party stores. That initiative is expected to arrive with a major Android release later in 2026 and will launch outside the U.S. first. Google says the rest of the world will receive the changes by September 30, 2027, although billing rates for markets outside the US, UK, and EEA have not yet been announced.
