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

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      By Fleet Command · Posted

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
