[Foobar] Foo AvA by dawxxx666

[Des]

Having a problem with the installer hanging at 1%... nocover.png

Can anybody tell me why this is?

[Drakk]

because the song number 6 leaves separated from the rest?

[Des]

^ maybe the album title or something along that line is off from the rest. Check your tags.

[Drakk]

check my tags are correct. I are not what is the problem

[Des]

Can anybody help me getting it installed.....?

The installer always stops at 1/5% at nocover.png and then stops responding. Nobody will help me or anybody else with this problem.

[Des]

problem with cover flow.

:(

what is the solution to my problem?

[dawxxx666]

You should update your graphics drivers and install Windows Script Control:

Unfortunately, I'm not guaranteed that foo_chronflow will work on your PC...

why?

Did you read the description of this component?

"Coverflow... This plugin is still in beta developement and should not be used if you are affraid of bugs or crashes!"

I have fooAva 1.05 installed and working correctly except the settings involving background, color theme, and components are not saved. They revert back to default every time foobar is started.

problem with cover flow.

:(

what is the solution to my problem?

I get the same problem too.

Using fresh install of foobar 0.9.5.2 and required components.

Installed the latest x1950pro radeon drivers and windows scripting control.

CPU: e4300xp

XP sp3

EDIT: I created a "components" folder and put the loading.png nocover.png and no-cover.png in it. Now it looks like this. Is this what it's meant to look like?

I have a few questions on this excellent foobar config:

1) How do you get vinyl images to show up when it's playing vinyls, and cd image cover for cd's?? Mine only displays cd cover art but never the vinyl ones when vinyl's are played

2) Is there any way to (hold) right click, select tracks in foobar, and drag them over to windows explorer folders? And also right click foobar and close foobar from the windows task bar? Default foobar could do that.

3) There's some glitch with the ratings. It happens when trying to rate over 3 on a lot of tracks, but not every track which makes it hard for me to figure out why this behaviour is so random. For instance i rate a track that's 3 stars and in properties "RATINGS" shows a value of 3 but on foobar it displays 2 stars. In fact it doesn't display any more than 3 stars, even if the metadata says its more than 3 stars. Where do i fix this?

First of all, excuse my spelling mistakes (if there are any :| ... I'm from Austria :) ).

I've been using fooAvA since a long time, and it works really great, but now I've got a question:

I'd like to have a fully transparent background, so that i can see my Windows Desktop. Disabling the background mode only gives my foobar a black background.

This would be really great, because I'm using two monitors, and foobar always runs on the left one.

Since now, i always had to make an extra background (cutting the dual-screen wallpaper in two halfes) image for foobar, to use dual-screen wallpapers.

I've added two screenshots, to make my problem clearer.

You could use the transparency feature of foobar itself.

(Preferences --> Display --> ColumnsUI --> Main --> Use transparency, opacity "Number")

Doesn't work for me, the background is still just black. I tried 0, 1 and 255.

Besides that, I can't use Columns UI, because fooAvA needs Panels UI, or am I wrong?

Hey guys, just saw this addon and foobar posted in another forum and I decided to give it a try. First time using both so I've got a couple questions. I managed to set it up fine and got it looking the way I want, but for some reason the playlist organization is completely messed up and I have no idea why. I attached a few pics for reference but basically it groups completely random songs together under an album that don't belong together... you can see in one my pics I have a Shannon Noll song playing but somehow it's grouped under Sean Kingston along with a bunch of other songs... this happens in random spots throughout my whole library. Any idea why this is happening?

Also, I seem to be seeing a bunch of artwork that I didn't know were in my MP3s. I opened the songs in iTunes and in Winamp and they both show there is no artwork in the MP3, but for some reason foobar displays it with the artwork. Where is this artwork coming from and is there any way I can mass delete all the artwork on ALL my MP3s (either via iTunes, Winamp, foobar, or a 3rd party program)?

Oh and 1 more thing (sorry for all the questions), I saw some people were able to get the theme to be transparent and have slightly different looking buttons/layout than what I have. Is this an option inside of Foo AvA? I didn't seem to see it but I attached an example pic for reference.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions :D

How can I have my album list looks like this:

This was asked long time back and this was answered in next post itself but i am not able to get this to work even though i have library filter selected

I am using FooAvA 1.03+ as it best suits my taste

I have spent 2 whole days to get this to work but no good.

[fooFTW]

PS: i can that look on left side where album art is by clicking the small album list button in bottom left.

But i want to get it in my playlist,is there any way to do it like it is in left with exapnd/collapse ?

[fooFTW]

Where is the edit button :p

I got it to work finally,small albumlist button on bottom right did the trick :D

Edt:Oops i guess i needed a minimum number of posts to get edit option

- Wow, it looks a lot like the theme i'm using with KMPlayer !

- Foobar is pretty cool but i always end up uninstalling it because of three things :

1) I always have to go through an incredibly difficult process to download all the components i need for every skin ... let alone components that are not supported anymore and/ore have dead download links.

2) When I download all the components, I have to go through the configuration process. This shouldn't be a problem but the thing is, for whatever reason, most of the "readme" files which are supposed to help you through the setup expect you to be a foobar expert. "Enable UIPanels" ... what the hell is UIPanels ? And how i'm I expected to enable it ? (just an example :p)

3) Ultimately, when i think i'm done, I just look at the sexy screenshot that convinced me to install foobar and ... it doesn't look exactly the same ! and you know why ? because the guy who did the skin has actually other fonts/plugins that he just omitted to mention.

- I would really love to use foobar in daily basis but, right now, i find it too complicated to setup considering it's just a media player.

I just use the simple/default foobar (minimized though) with some nice CDArt Display skin. :D
