Foobar2000 Customization

Cái cách đấy thì tớ biết rồi, thôi thì đành dùng tạm thế vậy

 

Mới tập tành cài cái foobar


Cho tớ hỏi làm sao để có được cái cột album bên phải và các bài hát ở giữa thế

 

Cài skin Kameleon của Br33t

 

Hỏi câu hơi ngu : Cho Cái Hướng dẫn cài đặt được không?
Không vào được trang web kia

 

Download Kameleon 1.1a full archive (contains the configuration file .fcl + images folder + components + fonts + extra files like Shpeck-Mildrop plugins)

Download just the .fcl file (included in the main archive above) Take care, you have to download images package to if you upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1, new images added :)

For those who Chronflow generate problems, you can import this .fcl file, chronflow removed from it : Kameleon 1.1a WITHOUT CHRONFLOW
​

Download just the images folder (included in the main archive above)
Download just the required fonts used in Kameleon in a single archive (included in the main archive above)
Download just the required components (included in the main archive above) (note: if you're a developper of one of these components and if you don't want i share it here,send me PM on Hydrogenaudio foobar forum, i'll remove it immediatly!)

A/ INSTALLATION notes : KAMELEON configuration for Foobar 2000 (0.9.4, 0.9.5, 0.9.6)
by Br3tt (14-Feb-2009, updated on 22-Feb-2009)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1) Firstly if not already done, install foobar2000 0.9.x and don't forget to have the needed fonts installed in C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2) Next add the needed mandatory components to your components folder: ...\foobar2000\components\
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3) Now extract the Kameleon archive into the root of your Foobar folder ...\foobar2000\
This will ...
- Extract images folder (which contains the kameleon\ subfolder with all the necessary images)
==> when extraction completed, you should have : ...\foobar2000\images\kameleon\
- Extract fcl folder (contains the kameleon.fcl file to be imported into ColunsUI
==> when extraction completed, you should have : ...\foobar2000\fcl\
- Extract components folder (contains all extra components to add to yours and to the default ones!)
- Extract fontd folder (contains the special fonts needed by the config)
==> when extraction completed, you should have : ...\foobar2000\fonts\
- Extract libmmd.dll in Foobar folder, this is the library that may be needed by the Menu Addons component
==> when extraction completed, you should have : ...\foobar2000\libmmd.dll
- Extract Plugins folder for the Shpeck component (Milkdrop scripts...), and a fake winamp.exe file (empty)
==> when extraction completed, you should have : ...\foobar2000\Plugins\ and ...\foobar2000\winamp.exe
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4) Now run Foobar and at its first launch select ColumnsUI as the user interface if you weren't already using a CUI interface. This will apply the default ColumnsUI layout
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5) Before importing the Kameleon configuration file (.fcl), some settings may have to be changed...
Go to Menu > Playback, and check the 2 options highlighted in blue below:

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6) Next you must define your Music Library in Foobar (if not already done of course ...)
Go to Menu > Library > Configure, then click ‘Add...’ to select a music folder, Foobar will automatically scan it to populate your new Music Library

______________________________________________________________________________________________________
7) Your library should now be ready (wait until Foobar has finished scanning your music folder(s))
Next you may need to create a playlist to be able to listen to music from your new Music Library, the easiest way to do this is to create an auto-playlist but many other way possible (use Album list ...)
- Go to Menu > Library > Search
Example of Query : %path% PRESENT will tell to Foobar to select all of the music files present in the music folder, as shown below :

Now click the button highlighted in blue at the top right and select ‘Create Autoplaylist’, this will create a new playlist
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
8) Now you can import the Kameleon config file (the .fcl file stored in ./fcl folder that you previously extracted)

Go to Preferences, Display, ColumnsUI, Main tab and click the 'Import...' FCL button on the right as shown below :

Browse to the location of the kameleon.fcl file that you extracted previously (Point 3 above) and click the APPLY button to load the new layout :-)
Now close the setting window to return to the main Foobar window
NB: If you have installed all of the required components listed in Point 2 then everything should be fine, but be sure to check that you haven't forgotten anything
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
9) Your Foobar Kameleon config should now look like this, but possibly without the covers showing in the ELPlaylist if yours are not named folder.jpg by default and stored in the music folder (don’t worry, we will sort that out later…)

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
B/ Panel Stack Splitter settings (panels that can be shown/hidden on startup)
Default layout display the left panel with 3 mini panels (ART, LYR and SPE) + right panel (collapsed). For your convenience, you can choose which panels to show/hide on startup if these don't match your tastes
1. for the mini-panels in the Left Panel, Right click on the Left Panel header (ART PHO LYR ... SPE) and enter Splitter settings,
then for each panel beggining by "->", you can check or not the 'hide panel on startup' option (restart needed of course coz of startup options )

2. Same work for the main Panel Stack Splitter, only "-> panels/boolean" can be changed
- Right click on the Playlist header (File Playlist View ...) then enter Splitter settings... :

ex: -> Force Wallpaper entry (boolean) commands the main background display. if 0 ('hide panel on startup' checked) => daisplay artist photo if found, album cover if not (if no cover, it display the default wallpaper). if 1, default wallpaper(s) displayed
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
C/ FOO_EXVAR : Setting path for covers and artists photos + optional other settings

1. All variables you may have to change are in one place for Kameleon config :-), be sure that you have installed all the components and especially foo_exvar.dll
Go to Preferences > Tools > Extended Variables ... and enter the necessary OPTIONAL variables as explained below:

a) These 4 variables are used for images display (main PSS background, left panel Art, ELPlaylist group header, Graphical Browser (right panel)):

kameleon_coverart_path : default (=music folder) / specified path (i.e.: C:/covers/) (be careful, specified path must close with a '/')
kameleon_coverart_filename : i.e.: folder.jpg / folder.* / %album%.jpg / etc ...
kameleon_artistart_path : default (=music folder) / specified path (i.e.: C:/artist photos/) (be careful, specified path must close with a '/')
kameleon_artistart_filename : i.e.: artist.jpg / artist.* / %artist%.jpg / etc ...
​

b) These 2 variables are used to resize the window to a default size by clicking KAMELEON text icon at bottom):

kameleon_default_width : numeric value, i.e.: 900
kameleon_default_height : numeric value, i.e.: 660
​

c) Play count maximum value. Used in STATS panel

kameleon_playcount_max : numeric value [100-999]
​

d) Width of the optional left panel:

kameleon_left_panel_width : numeric value [320-500]
​

e) Cycle the wallpaper background: # of wallpaper that are cycled

kameleon_cycle_bg : numeric value [1-6]
​

f) Disable file type info over cover (corner banner):

kameleon_disable_filetype_info : Boolean 0 or 1 (set to 1 to remove the corner banner over covers in ELPlaylist, Graphical Browser)
​

g) replace file rating by databse rating (write %rating% info in the database handled by foo_playcount.dll instead of writing %rating% TAG in the music file) :

kameleon_rate_to_db : Boolean 0 or 1 (set to 1 to force the update in the database and no more in the music file)
​

h) ELPlaylist group header size (# of lines):

kameleon_elp_header_height : numeric value [3-6] or 0 (0 allow to have no header, so track title is completed with artist name like for a VA album)
​

NB: if extra variables are not defined, the default values used are:
kameleon_coverart_path = music folder
kameleon_artistart_path = music folder
kameleon_coverart_filename = folder.jpg
kameleon_artistart_filename = artist.jpg (and not %artist%.jpg !)
kameleon_default_width = 864
kameleon_default_height = 630
kameleon_playcount_max = 100
kameleon_left_panel_width = 320
kameleon_disable_filetype_info = 0
kameleon_cycle_bg = 1
kameleon_disable_path_info = 0
kameleon_rate_to_db = 0
kameleon_elp_header_height = 3
Be careful, all modification in Extended Variable need a restart of foobar to be activated !
IMPORTANT: foo-exvar do not handle variables like %var%, except %artist%, %album%, %album artist%, %band%, %performer% and %discogs_artist_id% because i have tweaked the code in K to handle them.
so all other %% can't work without some coding ... Same for all titleformat functions (like $replace(...) for example), they are not supported by foo_exvar.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D/ Components settings
1. Stats settings (option 1) : If you want to write statistics info in the music file and not in the database handled by Playback Statistics (official plugin - foo_playcount.dll)

a) disable stats writing in Playback Statistics (official plugin) settings (stats writing will be handled by Playback Statistics Custom plugin)

b) then check in Playback Statistics Custom settings that stats info will be written in music file and not in the statistics database :

​

2. Stats settings (option 2) : If you DON'T want to write statistics info in the music file BUT ONLY in the database handled by Playback Statistics (official plugin)

a) disable stats writing to music file in Playback Statistics Custom settings, and set this to database only:

NB: note that i keep Playback Statistics Custom to write stats info and not Playback Statistics (Official), so tag writing must be disable in Playback Statistics (Official) like in D/1/a) screenshot so :

NB: to write rating info in database too (and not in the music file, you have to create the Extended variable (foo_exvar settings) : kameleon_rate_to_db = 1 (cf. C/1/g)
​

2. Chronflow settings

- Change colours, font (Snapix in blue like the scrolling text in the Now Playing panel), performances...


- In the tab below, you have to use the Jscript avaiblable here, just click New... button and past it in

- In this tab, change Sources to display the covers using the PATH entered in foo_exvar as explained above + group by, sort by, and images for nocover and loading ...
Just copy/paste this titleformat string in the 'Sources' box below :
$ifgreater($strstr($lower($if2(%kameleon_coverart_path%,'default')),'default'),0,$replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)$replace($if(%kameleon_coverart_filename%,$lower(%kameleon_coverart_filename%),'folder.jpg'),'%band%',%band%,'%performer%',%performer%,'%discogs_artist_id%',%discogs_artist_id%,'%path%',%path%,'%directoryname%',%directoryname%,'%filename_ext%',%filename_ext%,'%filename%',%filename%,'%album artist%',%album artist%,'%artist%',%artist%,'%album%',%album%,'.*','.jpg'),$if($stricmp($right(%kameleon_coverart_path%,1),'/'),%kameleon_coverart_path%,%kameleon_coverart_path%'/')$replace($if(%kameleon_coverart_filename%,$lower(%kameleon_coverart_filename%),'folder.jpg'),'%band%',%band%,'%performer%',%performer%,'%discogs_artist_id%',%discogs_artist_id%,'%path%',%path%,'%directoryname%',%directoryname%,'%filename_ext%',%filename_ext%,'%filename%',%filename%,'%album artist%',%album artist%,'%artist%',%artist%,'%album%',%album%,'.*','.jpg'))

- Performances settings :

​

3. Lyric Show panel

- You should not automatically save the lyrics to the music file :

​

4. Shpeck settings (path, autorun ...)

then display the VIS panel in Kameleon, use the TOOLBAR of Foobar (menu View > Toggle Toolbar) and select the renderer to use on startup :

​

6. ELPlaylist : Popup transparency

- You may have to indicate the transparent colour (the default transparent colour depends on the Visual Style that you use for Windows!) in ELPlaylist settings, tab 'misc' :

​

6. All others which haven't got their settings embedded in the .fcl file (Album list, Quicksearch toolbar ...)
- Colours, fonts ...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Bác load về mấy cái ảnh trong đó rồi up lên MF được không

 

toàn tiếng anh đọc chẳng hiểu cái mô tê :( Tớ down

về rồi
sau đó phải chạy setup như thế nào...?
Rồi skin phải thay ra sao (chỉ cần thế thôi... nếu nó phải crack thì chỉ mình luôn)

 

Hướng dẫn:

Trước hết, nếu chưa được thực hiện, cài đặt foobar2000 0.9.x và không quên có các font chữ cần thiết được cài đặt trong C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\

Tiếp thêm các thành phần bắt buộc cần thiết để các thành phần thư mục của bạn: ...\foobar2000\components

Bây giờ trích Kameleon các kho lưu trữ vào hệ thống tập tin gốc của bạn foobar thư mục ... \ foobar2000 \

Chạy foobar2000, chọn Menu -> Preferences -> Display -> ColumnsUI -> Close

Chọn menu Playback, đánh dấu 2 mục Playback Follows Cursor và Cursor Follows Playback ..

Vào tiếp menu Library chọn Configure , nhấn nút Add ở mục Music Folder , đưa đường dẫn đến thư mục chứa nhạc trên máy !

Vào tiếp menu Library , chọn Search , gõ vào dòng %path% PRESENT , chờ nó tìm tất cả các bài nhạc trong thư mục ta chọn , nhấn vào nút ... , chọn Create Autoplaylist ! Sau đó đóng cửa sổ lại !

Vào menu File > Preferences > Display > Columns UI > nhấn nút Import trong phần FCL importing ... , bạn đưa đường dẫn đến file kameleon_1.1a.fcl trong thư mục của Foobar2000 , nhấn OK ... bạn sẽ thấy giao diện của nó !

Done!

Ai hướng dẫn làm album art hộ mình cái, mình chọn ảnh làm album rồi mà nó không hiện ra

 

Ảnh thì đổi tên thành folder.jpg rồi cho vào thư mục nhạc

 

Cho tớ hỏi cái số ở đây là gì và làm sao để xóa nó

 

Ai up hộ cái link kameleon 1.1a lên host khác được không nhỉ.
Không down được từ trang chủ của nó

 

@ngayemxa :
Up kameleon 1.1a lên mediafire cho bạn đây:
Download:http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?xefzjwbyjyj

 

Hình như cái đấy là số lần mình nghe bài ấy
Nhân tiện cho hỏi các cậu kia để cái hình nền như thế nào ?

 

Thích cái ảnh nào làm nền thì rename thành wp1 rồi bỏ vào đây \foobar2000\images\kameleon\wallpaper

 

Sao tớ nhấp vào bài hát nó ko play thế , chưa kể cái Kameleon muốn chuyển playlist lại phải vào cái playlist manager nữa. Thoát foorbar chạy lại thì bị crash nữa chứ

 

Playlist thì cậu lick chuột phải vào album bất kì rồi Playlist > Tên Playlist
Cho tớ hỏi làm thế nào để làm tên album chỉ viết Hoa chữ cái đầu ?

 

@ Ben:
"chỉ viết Hoa chữ cái đầu" cho bạn đây:

___________Auto Merge________________

???

 

cái dòng báo lỗi chưa đủ. Mà chắc là component ko thích hợp

 

Cho tớ hỏi cái nền này la nguyên bản hay mình cop thêm vào.

Kameleon của tớ thế đã được chưa, cái số 1 ở góc trên bài hát nếu muốn xóa đi thì làm như nào hả bạn.

Với cả cái MilkDrop có phím tắt để bật luôn lên và fullscreen không vậy, chỉ cho tớ nhé :d.
