Help with Foobar Player + Playlist Skin

Post by PeanutButter »

Specifically, the one made by Chewtoy here http://rainmeter.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2458&hilit=foobar

I can't seem to get the Track Title and Playlist to load in the skin. The track time, progress bar, and buttons work, however.

I could get foo_httpcontrol to work as well. (eg, I can access http://127.0.0.1:8888 and control Foobar from there and everything)

I followed the instructions that came with the skin, just that, I'm not terribly sure about the "Templates>Playlist Row" part.

Apparently, the Templates branch in the Preferences menu in Foobar has been removed in the later versions.

Thus, I just went ahead and configured the config file itself in the "AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\foo_httpcontrol_data\default" folder by opening with Notepad, and saved it without any changes in it's extension. If that's where I screwed up, please let me know~ D'8

All in all, I'd really like to get it working if possible. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated~

whow... Someone actually downloaded that...

Right. Add this
foo_httpcontrol_data.zip
to your foobar200 folder.
If you've done like the instructions said, that should be the key.

Mh. It seems to be terribly outdated. Give me a couple of days and I might have a fix for it.

i have some problems.
1 Cant find foo_winamp_shpeck is it foo_vis_shpeck you mean?

2 Open Preference -> Tools -> HTTP Control: Set "Bind to" to 127.0.0.1:8888 and check the box under it. my says: Listen on 127.0.0.1:8888 and the box says: Start server

3 Tools -> HTTP Control -> Templates: you are meaning %appdata%\foobar2000\foo_httpcontrol_data\default ?

4 The Foobarplaylist-Update.ini says
<td class="p"> [%album artist% ]-[ %album% ]- %title% [ '//' %track artist%]</td><td class="t">- %length%</td>[<td class="q">%queue_indexes%</td>]
and the link http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/78909 says
<td class="p"> [%album artist% ]-[ %album% ]- %title% [ '//' %track artist%][/td]<td class="t">- %length%[/td][<td class="q">%queue_indexes%[/td]]
with is it?

Sorry about that.

1. Yes. foo_vis_speck. Thinking of spam and meaning speck is a bad combo.

2. That is correct behavior.

3. Copy the foo_httpcontrol_data to you foobar2000 folder in%appdata%
The template in the Preference menu should be "default".

4. <td class="p"> [%album artist% ]-[ %album% ]- %title% [ '//' %track artist%]</td><td class="t">- %length%</td>[<td class="q">%queue_indexes%</td>]
Is what it should be. And it appears that customize changes it.
