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 just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
