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!

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
