[Foobar] Foo AvA by dawxxx666

[khz]

Foo AvA_DX6 seemed to install fine, I didn't have any trouble setting up, except for one thing:

It displays "UNKNOWN FUNCTION" repeatedly in some areas on the UI (circled in the attached picture).

I learned how to get my way around Foobar by searching around the wiki. (Use the search function on the left side)

http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Foobar2000

Try to understand how each code works.. like Titleformatting.

Hi, meanwhile I could figure out some things by trial and error, but there are three questions left (propably ridiculous):

1. how can I sort the albums in album list by artist and not by albumname? I tried changing the order in preferences-->media library-->album list, but it had no effect!?

2. I want albums and tracks to be enqueued by double-clicking them in album list. How can this be achieved?

3. Clicking on the player in the taskbar does not minimize it.... any suggestions?

thanks a lot for your help and keep up the good work! :)

Trial and Error!! That's the best way to learn how to use Foobar!

1. Right-click somewhere in the "Album List" panel. Choose View -> by Artist

2. Right-click somewhere in the "Album List" panel. Choose Settings, where you'll see an option to change the double-click and middle-click action.

3. Clicking on taskbar doesn't minimize for me either and I don't think it can be changed for now. Instead, I use the "tray icon" which does min/max on click. The option can be found in the Panels UI main settings.

Ok, I'm fairly new to Foobar, so sorry if this question is asked frequently or something.

Anyone know why it's doing this, and how I can fix it?

Yeah, download the latest PanelsUI here

http://panels.fooblog2000.com/

I have been trying to download "lyric show modded" but no joy.Some of the links dont work and the ones which download something when I try and open it it says its corrupt....I am using WinRar to open the file - it recognises the .7z file extensionDoes anyone have it? Will is it not zipped or rarred !!

UPDATE

Its OK, found ithttp://gro.clinux.org/frs/?group_id=737&release_id=1383

Although they still dont open in WinRar but seem a lot bigger than the other files??

It opens up fine for me with both WinRAR and 7zip.

There are more updated versions found here.

@khz + stripephantom

Looks so much better now. Thank you so much! :D

I updated PanelsUI to the lastest versioin "0.14.9 beta" and I'm getting the "UNKNOWN FUNCTION" error in some places! I was working fine with "0.14.6 beta".

I tried it out just now. I get the same thing, so you're not the only one. Just stick with an older version.

Holy Crap! After trying 0.14.6 beta and switching back to my old 0.13.8.. I couldn't load FooAVA UI anymore.

Good thing I had my Foobar folder backed up. Always back up your config before making changes! :D

How can I have my album list looks like this:

[dawxxx666]

@ g2theangsta

Just turn on 'library filter' in settings

God damn it! I lost all my changes for 1.04ver (I don't have any new copy so I have to start from the almost clear 1.03 version).

:wacko:

@dawxxx666: **** man! now that's a tragedy!

[Rebus]

@dawxxx666

Ooops about the lost of your new settings.

I really love your design. Thanks for making it available for us :)

I would like to ask if its is possible to have a 'play random track' button beside the other already existing ones.

Plus have u noticed that once u have started the vis panel, it still uses up your cpu even if u switch back to a cover picture.

In the future realised vould put in a option that allows u to choose the colour from a palette rather than just blue or red. I dont know if thats possible, just asking.

Another thing i have noticed, if your playlist is less than a page long and u hide the scrollbar, the time lenght of the songs are not entirely displayed

[xankazo]

@Rebus: I agree about the CPU consumption thingy, it happens with "lyrics show" too. about the incomplete display when hiding scrollbar, dawxxx666 said he'll fix it in the next version.

1. Right-click somewhere in the "Album List" panel. Choose View -> by Artist

thank you, stripedphantom. The "tray icon"- function ist great, I use it now. Concerning 1.+2. my main problem is to even find the right menus. Right clicking doesn't offer me "view", and the settings menu doesn't fit the expectations either. Maybe these screenshots will explain my problem:

[stripedphantom]

Woops, you're using Library Filter not Album List. I don't know how to use Library filter. There are some options in the preferences though (Ctrl+P.

and dawxxx666:

That's sucks.. I wish I warned ya sooner about that problem with the new beta. :p

You'll probably be backing up your config more often now huh? hehe

[dawxxx666]

In the future realised vould put in a option that allows u to choose the colour from a palette rather than just blue or red. I dont know if thats possible, just asking.

It's possible, I can add something like this:

Red -0+

Green -200+

Blue -255+

so you can set your own color, but it doesn't have effect on visualisations, wsh panel and buttons.

Yes, I know that problem - it's fixed.

Hehe, I'm going to be smarter next time :D

Good idea, see screenshot below:

Pfff i must definitely read before posting :blink: !! that should have said 'In the future releases could u put in an option...'

Thats a great idea, thanks, the visualisation colour can be changed easily enough. :)

For the buttons u may add a third colour option that is rather neutral n would not clash with what ever colour is chosen from the palette.

The screenshot is looking very nice. :)

WOW! Total hotness is what awaits, dude!!! thank you for the peek!WOW! Total hotness is what awaits, dude!!! thank you for the peek!

I kind of liked your original play/pause etc buttons. It kept the look simplistic without borders around each button (too much contrast in each buttons in the new version.)

Maybe have an option to choose between the 2? (or I could just change it myself ;_; )

[Nitrius]

Great work!

Got a question, how can i sort a album after the track numbers? some of my albums are sorted like

10.

2.

9.

5.

But i want them to sort like:

1.

2.

3.

4. and so on.

And yes i've given the album track numbers in properties.

[xankazo]

just for the record, the latest PanelsUI test-version 0.14.11 is working fine again with the skin. there was a bug with version 0.14.9.

edit: I take back what I said, there are serious "UNKNOWN FUNCTION" errors in the playlist if transparency is used. :(

Btw i love this config, and to my above post, may it have something to do with that the actual filenames dose not contain numbers but only the title of the song?

Also i would to get my hands on that 1.4 version of this config, it looks great.

As you wish :)

Are you using default Artist / Date / Album sorting in Sort/Group by?

Maybe try

%_itemindex%

instead of

%tracknumber%

in 'item display'.

%_itemindex% works even without song numbers :D

[Nitrius]

When you say in "item display" do you mean when i right click on the playlist and choose settings, a box opens and there i can switch between group and item display?

Then i find all the %tracknumbers% and put in %_itemindex% instead on all?

Also another thing i've noticed, may be something wrong here but anyway, when i use the hide scrollbar future alot of the songs gets pushed outside the box so i cannot see the whole name.

It's my 4th answer to this problem in this forum :wacko: , but I tell ya one more time - it's fixed in 1.04

[Nitrius]

Thanks for the answers.

And sorry for brining up the question about the scrollbar bug, didn't know it was answered before.

Anyway, looking forward to next version =)

Edit: What do i do with the font pack .exe? shall i just extract it and put it in my windows font directory or?
