Update your gfx drivers to the latest version. If that doesn't help you are probably screwed.


Thanks a lot. I have updated my driver and it is working now.
Appreciate that.

I experienced some bugs:

1. cant play the tracks

only mp3 albums work somehow. my flac files wont ever play. only possibility is "send to playlist" but its annoying.

2. Keyboard commands are not read.
no matter what key i press, none have a function, not even the enter command.

Hi, is this component still under development, and if so, has there been any update since v0.3.0 ?

I haven't found any official Chronflow thread yet. And IMHO this thread can't be considered an official one, since it hasn't been started by Chronial so he can't update the link in the first post when he wants to...

It would be good to finally have a place where we could always download the latest update. Thanks !

The last infos I have are, that this is still under development... well say at least not abandoned^^ This is the latest version which is available afaik!
And it's not that difficult to update the first post if chronial wants to (ask a mod or PM the OP (or open an new thread^^))

Hi guys. I got the cover flow installed and displaying covers with the default setup, but I cannot get it to scroll left/right for the life of me. Every once in awhile it will jump to a different album. Any ideas? Do I need anything else besides this component for it to work properly? I am on 100% clean foobar2000 0.9.5.6. It seems to hog down my system quite drastically. Also, if I just play an album it will jump there maybe after 30 seconds of thinking.

Hi:

Just one curious observation. Chronflow takes a lot of memory. Usually on the order of 200 MB. Is there anyway to scale down the memory usage of it?

^reduce the number of covers being rendered maybe? (make the range of numbers in the 'drawcovers' function smaller

just my guess

I'm pretty sure this is all your fault, as nobody else is experiencing such problems.

Your GPU drivers suck. Update them. If it doesn't help, your screwed.

It is by design of this component to eat a lot of memory, as it has to cache a lot of images in memory. But you can tune all the settings in the preferences (performance tab). Explanation are given on the help page.

Oh I see you are a very enthusiastic developer.

I have to correct my statement above, NONE of the albums can be played by this plugin.
not by assigned mousebutton command, not by right click menu. simply nothing happens. I tried reinstalling- it's the same.

I consider deinstalling this plugin again if all is my fault, just like the bubble cover flow (which needed the option "playback follows cursor" and only played mp3 albums for me)



EDIT
I just installed this plugin on the other computer....and it works (playing works).
The configs are 95% the same....hmmm weird, how can it be that everything works except the play command?.


EDIT2
ok it works NOT. after deep testing it is clear that the "play" command only works on "single track albums" (which are no albums but badly tragged mp3s..).
most albums consist of multiple files and the only way to play them is by sending them to a playlist.unfortunately you cannot select to which with this plugin. so your current playlist will be overwritten.
future request: select to which playlist to add automatically.

I'm sorry. I didn't intend to insult you or say that you are too stupid to use this component.
I just wanted to say that the problem is not on the side of chronflow, but rather somewhere in your setup or your understanding of this plugin or foobar.
And you are right - I am not an enthusiastic supporter.

This is the behavior of the "play" command (which is not part of chronflow). See here: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....st&p=555569

That is part of foobar's design. But I guess all this has been discussed in the other threat.
Short summary: use foo_trackpos

well thank you then and excuse me too.

Maybe you should put a readme in your zip mentioning this, for me it is clear now but  I might not be the only one getting confused, and expecting others to read till page 11 ... hmmm


I found a workaround for that what I wanted (until there is an option for default "send to list x")

---enter a constant string as album name display titleformating (I use "Library view" - same playlist for Albumlist-tracks)

---disable album name displaying

---you need one of the mousebuttons assigned to "Add to NEW playlist"

Effect: you can play your albums without losing the content of your current playlist.

Wouldn't it then be possible to add the option to run the "play" command on the first track of the selected album? This would have the desired effect and seems quite feasible to me.

We've all been waiting for this feature for a long, long time...

Say, Chronial, have you ever thought about adding playlist viewer functionality to this component?

Imagine: browsing your albums like you currently do, then finding the one you want to play double-clicking on its cover - which turns it around (and possibly zooms to fill the window) to show the tracks (as if in was the back of a CD case with a tracklist). Which has the regular (possibly customizable) single-column playlist structure like the ELPlaylist, late PanelsUI etc., along with the necessary playback controls.

Wouldn't it be the niftiest universal component? True, it would not be very suitable for compiling long playlists (longer than one album), but I'm sure lots of folks still listen to their music the old way - choosing one particular album to play.

[crashware] foo_chronflow

Just double-click and you have that album in your playlist. This component will never be a playlist viewer.

But turning covers around to see a tracklist is on the todo list.

Wouldn't making the tracklist interactive be a logical thing? What you see is what you play, so to speak. Might I inquire as to your reasoning?

Problem:

The text under the cover art in Chronflow is very ... hmm ... how should I explain... just take a look at the screenshot.

A quick question! (Had some issues, but installing windows scripting host, doing a fresh java install and nuking unnecessary foobar plugins seems to have done the trick!).

1. No way to just start playing the first or a random track of a selected album? There is a "Play" command, but it only works with albums containing one track.
I don't see how one can effectively use chronoflow to find and start playing music together with using playlists: adding to the current playlist messes up your playlist, replacing nukes your playlist and adding to a new playlist creates a mess. Enlighten me

read my posts above (even same page). I have also written a workaround.

At the moment there is no other solution. The next version will fix that issue, but you will have to wait till then (expect at least a couple more months).

Superb  It's already good, I just use a temp playlist if I want to select albums through chronflow, but I'm looking forward to the next version. Keep up the good work.

Hi, very nice plugin!!! Thanks.

But i'm having problems to display my covers in my library, i get all no cover icons. I read than have to name the covers "folder.jpg" in the folder, but i have like 400 albums with "artist - album.jpg" names. Is there a way to configure to show my covers.
Thanks
