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.

im noob on foobar ...... and i have a question whow we save the changes in this foobar skin ... i change the color of the bars, change background and put Cd cover to show.

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

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!

    • Apple Watch Series 11 GPS just crashed to 30% off in this fast-moving Prime Day deal by Karthik Mudaliar The Apple Watch Series 11 is available for $279, down from its $399 list price, saving buyers $120, or 30%. Amazon labels the offer as selling fast, so the current price may not remain available for long. This GPS model features a 42mm aluminum case, an Always-On Retina LTPO3 OLED display capable of reaching up to 2,000 nits, and an Ion-X glass surface with improved scratch resistance. Apple rates Series 11 for up to 24 hours of normal use or up to 38 hours in Low Power Mode, with fast charging providing up to eight hours of use from a 15-minute charge. Health and fitness tools include sleep scoring, temperature sensing, ECG support, heart-rate alerts, workout tracking, sleep apnea notifications, and hypertension notifications, where available. The watch also carries IP6X dust resistance and 50-meter water resistance. This configuration is best suited to iPhone owners who want comprehensive health tracking, notifications, contactless payments, and workout data without stepping up to a larger or cellular-equipped model. The smaller case should also appeal to buyers who prefer a lighter watch, while the S/M band fits wrists measuring 130mm to 180mm. With the current generation now significantly below its usual retail price, this is a strong time to replace an aging Apple Watch or buy a first model without compromising on Apple’s newest health and display features.

    • GitHub removes manual model selection from Copilot free and student plans by Karthik Mudaliar GitHub is removing the ability to manually select an AI model from its Copilot Free and Student plans, making its automatic routing system the default and only way to choose a model. This means users on these tiers will no longer be able to deliberately select a particular OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or Microsoft model for a task. In its announcement, GitHub said Copilot Auto will dynamically choose what it considers the best model for each request. Free and Student accounts will retain access to models from multiple families, although the available selection will continue to depend on the restrictions attached to each plan. GitHub did not identify a fixed pool of models that Auto will always use, and its documentation warns that model availability can change over time. GitHub describes Auto as more than a random fallback system. On supported surfaces, its task-optimization technology evaluates the complexity of a request alongside real-time information about model health and availability. Straightforward prompts can be routed to faster and less expensive models, while more demanding coding tasks may be sent to higher-cost reasoning models. The company says this approach should reduce rate limiting, latency, and failed requests. Auto generally selects one model along natural prompt-caching boundaries rather than repeatedly switching models during a session, as GitHub found that mid-session changes increased costs without producing sufficient improvements in output quality. Users can still check which model generated a response. In Copilot Chat, the information appears when hovering over an answer, while Copilot CLI and the Copilot cloud agent display the selected model alongside their output. Auto is available in Copilot Chat, Copilot CLI, and the cloud agent, with the exact implementation and release status varying between supported development environments. The latest restriction follows several months of adjustments to Copilot’s individual plans. GitHub temporarily halted new Pro, Pro+, and Student subscriptions in April as it sought to manage demand and service reliability. It later introduced token-based billing and began gradually reopening individual-plan registrations on June 17. Alongside the picker change, GitHub is retiring the “Preview” label from Microsoft-developed models. It argues that the label is no longer necessary because Auto handles model routing and models are continuously updated behind the scenes.
