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")

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:

albumlistjn1.jpg

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.

- 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

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it

      i backup my files, incl keepass to my proton drive using Syncback which i paid for (thanks Warwagon!). they have a free version but i can't remember what it does and doesn't do anymore. anyways, it's really, really simple and easy to use. i also periodically keep backups of my keepass onsite especially when i've changed or added a password that is important to me. if you don't wanna spend time on the syncthing setup, get syncback. haha i even got my dad to use it for his backups to usb and he doesn't even need my help!!! (thank god!)
