Could someone please tell me how to add a volume slider to foobar? It does say here...http://www.foobar2000.org/FAQ

How do I enable volume display or playlist selection total time display in my status bar?
Right-click the status bar, toggle relevant option.

But I dont have that option, maybe they are refering to an older version of foobar.


Also how do you get foobar to display the cd artwork, mine is looking like this atm

the documentation is referring to the default UI. you're using a replacement for that called columns UI. however, your status bar is already showing the volume display. the "0.00dB" is it. right clicking that will bring up a slider. and your window is not wide enough to show the playlist selection time.

as for album art, right click the blank cd, select "splitter settings" and goto the "script" tab. find the whole line of code the references "cover.jpg" and copy/paste it here (i don't have a copy of that config anymore). i'll tell you what to replace with so it supports all album artwork included embedded.

Yup thats works, but I want to have the volume slider on the main player its self without having to right click to access it. Wasnt sure what you meant by 'and your window is not wide enough to show the playlist selection time' Looks fine to me :confused:

This is all the code in script, per track...

$init_ps_global(art.on,1)
$set_ps_global(images,%ps_foobar2000_path%\images\sl1)
$imagebutton(,,,,,,)
$ifequal(%art.on%,1,
$movepanel_c(Tab stack,0,$add(%_width%,23),%_width%,$sub(%_height%,%_width%,79))
$imagebutton($sub(%_width%,30),3,,,%images%\hide.png,%images%\hide_h.png,;SETGLOBAL:art.on:0;REFRESH;)
$drawrect(5,27,$sub(%_width%,10),$sub(%_width%,10),45-45-45,)
$imageabs(6,28,$sub(%_width%,12),$sub(%_width%,12),%images%\nocover.jpg,,,,)
$imageabs(6,28,$sub(%_width%,12),$sub(%_width%,12),%path%,artreader,,,)
,
$movepanel_c(Tab stack,0,28,%_width%,$sub(%_height%,84))
$imagebutton($sub(%_width%,30),3,,,%images%\show.png,%images%\show_h.png,SETGLOBAL:art.on:1;REFRESH;)
)
$drawrect(0,$sub(%_height%,56),%_width%,1,175-175-175,)
$drawrect(-1,$sub(%_height%,23),100,24,255-255-255,175-175-175)
$drawrect(98,$sub(%_height%,23),%_width%,24,255-255-255,175-175-175)
$imagebutton(98,$sub(%_height%,23),%_width%,24,,,COMMAND: View/Columns playlist/Activate now playing)

Ive got all the album art in the folder with the .mp3's so was hoping just to launch foobar and the album art with automatically come up-I think thats what you mean by 'embedded'

Cheers for the help on this :)
 
that code can already read all types of album art including embedded. i didn't think it could. i must have updated it and then forgot. :p

so the problem is your files, not the config.
 
the album artwork has to meet one of these criteria

embedded in the music file itself

or it's a file in the same folder as the music being played and it's named either

front.jpg
cover.jpg
folder.jpg

(i think png files are supported too)

also, if it's the same name as the music file, it should show as well.

Ok, changing the .jpeg to cover works-thanks. What do you mean by 'embedded in the music file itself'?

Also do you know if I can add a volume slider to it, dont you find that you miss it-looking at your recent foobar screenshot you dont have a volume slider either
 
i already answered that question the first time you asked....

marc2003 said:
nope, no volume control. i have no need for it. plus there just isn't room for it in my layout.

if you want a volume control then switch back to the default user interface and don't use custom made themes. i made that theme for myself. it was provided "as-is".
 
marc2003, or anyone else. How do I go about installing this theme?

http://pengspawnie.deviantart.com/art/MonoLiteMod-Slim-147924669

Setup:
:: make a backup for component folder inside foobar folder.
:: extract mesia.7z archive in the default foobar2000 folder.
:: run foobar with ColumnsUI as interface
:: go to preferences -> ColumnsUI -> Main -> use Import Button to import the monolitemodslim.fcl (or monolitemodslim_lastfm.fcl for intergrating data with lastfm) file, apply all imported layout.

I dont quite follow the setup guildlines tho :o
 
that's a poorly made theme. i'd avoid it if i were you. for one thing, it modifies your music files without giving you prior warning.
 
Those are very simple instructions! Have you even tried following them?

Go to your Program Files folder, open Foobar's folder, and backup the "Components" folder.

Extract the contents of the mesia.7z into Foobar's folder in Program Files.

When you run foobar it will ask if you what interface to use, select "Columns UI".

Then just import the .fcl file like it says!

Thanks for the warning, certainly dont want foobar to change any of my music files. Can you recommend any others marc?

Didnt know what the mesia.7z file was, I guess its the .rar folder and you just drop all the contents into you installed foobar folder?
