[PengQiu-cn]

use foobar2000 1.6.6 version , the button icon wasn`t correct.
please help me ,thanks . Georgia had repaired the bug in 2.0.3.

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi PengQiu-cn,

can you please tell me what do you mean, what button icon?
I'm also using foobar2000 v.1.6.6 plus Georgia-ReBORN is up to date to Georgia v.2.0.3 and don't have any problems...
Did you install all necessary fonts? See the install instructions...

-TT

[PengQiu-cn]

thanks , i forgot copy the fonts to system fonts. that`s ok .thanks . love your ui so much

[PengQiu-cn]

but when was using details UI , I could`t see the rotating disk .

[TT-ReBORN]

No problem.

About the rotating disk. First you need to download the cdArt for your specific album from https://fanart.tv if it's available.
Then you need to rename it to cd.png or cd1.png, cd2.png etc and put it to the root folder where your music album is.
Finally in Georgia-ReBORN's top menu go to Options -> cdArt settings -> Spin cdArt while songs play and activate it.
Now the cdArt will spin in the Details panel.

Dear TT-ReBORN, congratulations for your great work, this is a fantastic theme, I'd like to know if it's possible to add some custom tags to the DETAILS panel (I mena to ADD some tags to the default ones: Label, Catalog #, Genre, Codec, Added, Last Played, Play Count).
Many thanks !!

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi gnihtytterp,

thanks for your kind words and yes it's possible to add more tags in the metadata grid if you want.
There are two ways to do that:

You can either use the topmenu bar Options -> Configuration File -> Edit configuration file
Or go to your foobar2000\profile\georgia and open the georgia-config.jsonc with a text editor ( e.g Notepad++ ).

Now go to the section "metadataGrid" and add a new label, name and value. Best would be to just copy an existing one
and rename the fields, e.g { "label": "Encoder", "val": "%encoder%"}, Be sure the last label in the metadataGrid does not have a comma after the bracket }

Then save the config file and reload the theme, it should show in the Details panel afterwards.

You can also learn more here:

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Many thanks !! very clear, I'll try it and let you know about the changes, my best regards

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT-ReBORN, it worked fantastic, one more question if I don't bother: is there a way to decrease a little the font size of the text of the metadataGrid?, many thanks in advance !!

[TT-ReBORN]

I'm implementing new Options to change all available font sizes, the metadata grid will be also included.
I will let you know here once the work and testing is done.

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Many thanks!

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi gnihtytterp,

You can now change all available font sizes in Georgia-ReBORN. Please download again the master zip from this
Github page and replace your existing profile folder in your foobar.

Now to change Metadata Grid font sizes, go to the top menu:
Options -> Change Font Sizes -> Details

There you have all available options to choose from.

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT, many, many tanks, will try it this weekend. It's really an amazing theme. Very kind of you.
Cheers!

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT, many thanks for the option of changing font sizes, it has worked really great. You are a genius.
I don't want to bother again, but is there a way to correct thi problem I have with the flags and artist/song in the bottom bar: IMAGE LINK. (maybe, I think, sending the artist and song below the flags, so they would not superpose)
Many thanks for all your labour !! Cheers

[TT-ReBORN]

Thanks for the bug report, the issue when using multi flags has been fixed.

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Cool, many thanks (again)

[TT-ReBORN]

You're welcome =)

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT, I keep mesmerized by your extraordinary theme, and finding little things to support your job, one thing I've found is that the country flag for EU (Europe) IMAGE LINK is not present in the display, it's not a really important thing, but as many albums appears under "released in EU", I thought maybe it was a good idea to tell you. Many thanks again and my intention is to contribute and not to bother ;)

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi,

the EU flag is present, type "European Union" in the %ARTISTCOUNTRY%.
You can see all flags in foobar2000/profile/images/flags

Also don't worry, I appreciate all contributions, thanks =)

-Tom

[gnihtytterp]

Oh, many thanks, didn't notice that, sorry, Best regards

[gnihtytterp]

Is it possible to show the Album Artist (with the flag) on the Info Grid (on a line line before the Album Title), instead of showing it on the Lower Bar (I want to do that -if possible- to add the composer after the Song Title)?
Many thanks, I'm enjoying a lot your fantastic theme, best one I've had, I'm spreading the word

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi gnihtytterp,

yes it's possible to add the artist to the info grid, but I'm not sure what you meant with the composer?
Replace the artist with the composer in the lower bar/playbar?

-TT

[TT-ReBORN]

Added the option to also show the artist in the info grid. It is disabled by default.
You can activate it in the top menu Options -> Details -> Show artist.

You need to download the latest master.zip and replace all your files.

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Many thanks (again). I want to see the cmposer beside the track name, so I was asking if it's possible to get more space in the lower bar, just that, really appreciate your labour, cheers!

[TT-ReBORN]

So in the lower bar it will look like:
Artist - title - composer, if the composer tag is available?

[TT-ReBORN]

Ok, I have added a new option to show the composer in the lower bar.
It is disabled by default, you can activate it in the top menu:

Options -> Player controls -> Show composer in lower bar

You need to download again the master.zip and replace all your existing files.

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

In the Details view... is it possible to see only the flag of %releasecountry% instead of the two-letter code + flag ? (just the way the %artistcountry% is seen). Thanks in advance!!

[TT-ReBORN]

Do you mean by deactivating the flag in Options -> Player controls -> Show artist country flags ?

[gnihtytterp]

Do you mean by deactivating the flag in Options -> Player controls -> Show artist country flags ?

No, I mean show ONLY the release country flag and not the 2-letter country, many thanks for all your labour of love with this theme !

[TT-ReBORN]

I don't understand what you really mean...

Because if you go to Options -> Player controls -> Show artist country flags
and deactivate Show artist country flags, ONLY the release country flag will be visible.

Also if the width of the info grid is too small ( Player size 'Small' ) the release country flag will not be shown,
if you have Player size 'Small' try to switch to a larger Player Size -> 'Normal' or 'Large'.

Maybe you have an old version of Georgia-ReBORN, try to download again the master.zip and replace all your files from the zip...

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Solved!, many thanks

[gnihtytterp]

Hello TT, just to ask if it's possible (in the Details view) to remove the Artist from the lower bar (to see only the tracknumber and track name)... as I've chosen to see the artist in the upper bar, it will leave more space for some other info (composer, notes, etc.) Many thanks in advance !!

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi, this has been implemented, will be available in the next commit which will be an important one.
I'll let you know when it's ready to be released.

[gnihtytterp]

Cool! many thanks

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT, I've found a "bug" with long song titles, here's two images to show you: 1) 2) https://ibb.co/n1Mf8S2

[TT-ReBORN]

Can't reproduce it, long song titles are always truncated...
Wait for the next release, maybe your foobar with settings are bugged...

[gnihtytterp]

Ok, thanks

[gnihtytterp]

I've found some artwork works better in 600x600 px than 1500x1500... I've always thought that more resolution was better, but... would you recommend some artwork specifications, resolution, etc. in particular?

[gnihtytterp]

Many thanks, very kind of you to clarify this topic.
By the way, I was going to ask you this: Is it possible to select more than one (1) label) to be shown in Details?, I think in Mordred's original theme I've seen more than one, for example: "Sony, Epic, Legacy"... just curious about that. IMAGE: https://im.ge/i/B2oKG. Many thanks !!

[TT-ReBORN]

Just use multiple values in the LABEL tag, in your example: Epic; Alcon Sleeping Giant; Sony Music
Then you need to right click on the LABEL tag and click "Split values" and hit OK.
After that reload the theme, now in Details, all 3 label logos should be displayed.

[gnihtytterp]

Fantastic, many thanks, worked OK!. Another question, the font used i details is Helvetica? ... Is it possible to change it, just to play a little with the font, thanks for ALL !!

[TT-ReBORN]

You can change the fonts in georgia-main.js from line 51 to 61.

Btw, I would not do it right know because I will release a BIG important update which I have worked for the last
3 weeks and the file structure is changing, so you would need to do a new clean installation anyways...

This update will also contain the new options what you have asked for ( option to disable artist, title in lower bar )
and much much more!

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Outstanding job TT, your theme is really awesome and getting better all the time. And many thanks for all the answers you gave !

[TT-ReBORN]

Cool, downloadin master right now

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT, I'm having a crash since i've installed the last version. I don't know if it's the new foobar v.1.6.7 or something in my system, but I wonder if you have experimented the same problem. This is a screen capture of the message: https://ibb.co/0cvwxJw. Many thanks again

[TT-ReBORN]

Hey @gnihtytterp,

can you please try and download this fixed Panel_Playlist.js:
https://www.upload.ee/files/13438086/Panel_Playlist.js.html

and replace it with your existing one in your:
profile\georgia-reborn\js\CaTRoX_QWR

Tell me how it goes, thanks!

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Many thanks TT!

[slstempler]

Hello! Just installed and loving the theme so far, but running into a strange crash upon opening certain albums: https://ibb.co/FkQnXBs

Not familiar with JS so not quite sure what to do here... any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi @slstempler,

thank you for reporting the crash!
The issue has been fixed, you can download it here and replace all your existing files.

-TT

[slstempler]

Hi TT,

Thank you so much for this!! Very much appreciated, seems to be working smoothly so far!

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT, are you working on a new version?, I'm amazed at how well it works on 4k, congratulations again my friend

[TT-ReBORN]

Yes =)

the new version is already finished, I just need to do some more testing. It will be a great surprise and a new user experience,
that much I can tell you. I'll let you guys know when it's released and post it here, you can also check the thread on HydrogenAudio here:
https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php?topic=121047.100

[gnihtytterp]

Fantastic news !!

[gnihtytterp]

Many thanks!

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT, it work fantatc on the artist country field, but I cannot make it work on the RELEASE country field... just curious about what i'm doing wrong, cheers!

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi @gnihtytterp,

multi-values for the %RELEASECOUNTRY% is not supported and would also not make much sense because:
%RELEASECOUNTRY% = The country where the edition of the CD/Vinyl was released.

This means if a new remaster/deluxe/special edition was released, from which country of the based publisher has it been released.
I am not aware of multiple release countries for the released CD/Vinyl of the specific edition...

Only 1 flag for the %RELEASECOUNTRY% tag is being displayed, for %ARTISTCOUNTRY% ( band members ) it is up to max 6 flags.

-TT

[gnihtytterp]

Many thanks TT, I was just curious about that, really appreciate your answers
my best regards,
gnihtytterp

Dear TT, I'm getting this crashing: "Error: Spider Monkey Panel v1.6.2-dev+7c0928bf ({04620F16-1878-47A1-8EFE-0CE0B99566CC}: Georgia-ReBORN v2.0.3b by TT)
class constructors must be invoked with 'new'"

[gnihtytterp]

Dear TT, I´ve found that it always happens using Reborn or Random themes, but never with Black or White themes

[gnihtytterp]

I will keep an eye on this issue and try to reproduce and fix it. Thanks for reporting!

Dear TT, I´ve found that it always happens using Reborn or Random themes, but never with Black or White themes

[TT-ReBORN]

Yes I have read your message. I've tried all possible combinations and unfortunately I can't reproduce the crash with Reborn/Random theme. From the crash log it points to when playlist content changes, i.e when adding/removing songs from the playlist or when using the library and double clicking on albums. It can be a possible problem and conflict with the scrollbar height/thumb when playlist content changes...

If you find out more please let me know, thanks!

[TT-ReBORN]

@gnihtytterp,

check this thread here:

This bug might be fixed, please let me know, thanks!

Hi @gnihtytterp,

check my last post in the Beta thread, it will answer your question.

[ermete23]

Hi,
It is possible to add in the right top menu a button with "UPNP browser" view and if yes how?
Sorry if the question has been already answered.
Thanks

Hey guys,

there were a few users in the past that already asked this question, if I can directly implement visual components XYZ. Short answer is, I can not do that. The Georgia-ReBORN theme is one big spider monkey panel and unfortunately integrating "directly" components into the theme is not possible. As regor already suggested create a new spider monkey panel or use foo_flowin. See posted replies here and here.

-TT

Hi,

I've never tried the UPNP browser and if it's a user-component and not a script, it's not possible to do that.
In this theme, you can only directly implement components that are purely written in JavaScript.

But you can use foo_chronflow and make a floating panel with the UPNP browser.
Or make another SMP and add it in the Columns UI layout, but it would look ugly as it will be on the right or bottom side of the theme...

-TT

[HearHurtSayL]

Hello, I'm enjoying the player but I'm inquiring if would work on Android. I saw you said it mainly is for use on Desktop but I was wondering if it's been tested for Android (even if it isn't officially supported) and how would the installation be different.

[TT-ReBORN]

Hello @HearHurtSayL,
never tried, but you could install Wine for Android and run foobar and the theme in it.Installation would be the same as you would install on Linux. I guess for a smart phone, only Artwork and Compact layout would work...

[karehaqt]

Is the waveform bar supposed to match the music as mine just goes up and down with no relation to the actual music?

[TT-ReBORN]

Only if your music track has the %BPM% tag and lower bar right click -> Display > Use BPM is active.

[karehaqt]

Can I generate the tags with foobar, if not what's needed?

[TT-ReBORN]

Of course you can, right click on a track > Properties or Alt + Enter.
On the left bottom side click + add new and write BPM. In the value field type for example 200.
Click OK and right click on your big album cover art somewhere > Reload theme.

For the next track try a value of 50 to see the difference.

-TT

[karehaqt]

Had a play around but I just don't like it so have gone back to the normal progress bar. I was hoping I could get it to look and act like one in the CaTRoX theme that I used before using Georgia-ReBORN:

[TT-ReBORN]

Right click on lower bar > Peakmeter bar. Right click again on lower bar > Style > Vertical.
If you have a decent CPU, I would set refresh rate to 60 ms or 30 ms. You can also play with the "Size" and "Decibel range" settings.

[18aKissD]

Hi!

Can you help me to install this on Linux? It is giving me errors, mainly with Spider Monkey Panel.

I have used a full basic wine, I have changed nothing on it. I've used the apt one, not the one on snap. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.

I expect that I have to install something there so the panel works.

If you need any more info from the situation please ask.

Any help would be appreciated :)

[TT-ReBORN]

No problem, actually I'm working on the Georgia-ReBORN website with its full documentation.
I will add an extra installation instruction section for Linux/Wine.

[18aKissD]

One thing I just came across. How can I fix audio shutter or clipping. It is very anoying. I guess it's just a problem with wine's audio processing or drivers, just I don't know how to fix and i can't find a solution.

[18aKissD]

Also, is there a way to make shortcuts work even when the focus is not on the (Wine) foobar?

I did only came up with audio playback stuttering when using a very slow/old CPU and it is fetching new photos from the Biography when it is not in the cache. When fetching is done, there is no audio stuttering. But as I mentioned only on a VERY SLOW CPU that is at its limit when the player is in 4K resolution...

But over the years I have read on HydrogenAudio forums ( this thread? ) that there are SOME ( rare case ) audio issues in Wine.
Most likely because Wine users are using a very old Wine version ( 6 ).

Also, is there a way to make shortcuts work even when the focus is not on the (Wine) foobar?

I do think that it is only possible when using a third party software for hotkeys.

-TT

[18aKissD]

Yes, I am using a very old wine version, wine 6

Thanks for leading me that way, I will try to update wine.

[right455]

Hello TT, thank you for creating this awesome theme! I have poked around in the settings and found that you can create a nice looking transparent effect by toggling the "alpha transparency" setting in the UI hacks plugin with right combination of styles. However, the panel is usually too bright after doing so and needs to be toned down by lowering the theme brightness. There's also some rendering issues with white text if the panel picks a really bright colour. I don't know if the text rendering can be fixed in anyway, but is it possible to add more settings for further lowering the theme brightness? Sorry this is a rather long comment!

[TT-ReBORN]

Ok, the UI Hacks component's transparency feature will never work. It completely removes all backgrounds with its colors making the GDI+ anti-aliasing worthless. To make the anti-aliasing work properly ( without the black and white outlines and halos on the text ), it needs background color to apply its method. So there is no way to make it work with GDI+ that SMP is currently using. A big MAYBE if TheQwertiest would implement the Direct2D renderer but I still think anti-aliasing needs background color nonetheless.

Unfortunately there is nothing I could do about it because of technical limitations.

[gnihtytterp]

Dear Tom, is there a way to show Album Title after Album Artist (Details), it would be nice if both infos could be shown together just below the Timeline, maybe with some character as separator.
Still amazed every day with the theme !!
Many thanks

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi @gnihtytterp,

there are already options to display the artist, title and album in Details.
You can access them via top menu Options > Details > Metadata grid > Show artist, Show track number, Show song title.
Hope that helps.

[theoqrz]

Hello, I just have found this theme and I'm in love with it. Such a great job!
There are only two minor things that I would like to ask if it's possible or if it will be added in future releases.

1. I have a library with more than 600 artists and I'm using the "Show artists" view with their photos. Is there a way to load all the pictures from the Biography at once? Since I've been using the theme for only a couple of hours now, my art_img cache folder is very limited and I didn't want to click on the biography tab for every one of them to fetch the pictures.

2. Is it possible to have some separator on the track time that's on the lower right corner of the player? Right above the progress bar. Something like 0:41 / 3:28

Thanks for all your hard work.

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi @theoqrz,

glad you like the theme. It is not quite possible to download biographies for all artists at once.
You would hammer the servers by the requests and get eventually blocked, we do not want that to happen.
But I have implemented an auto-download mode for the biography and lyrics.
There is a 5 sec timer interval for the biography to play a new track for an artist and then shuffle to another artist.
The lyrics has a 15 sec timer interval that does the same to fetch the lyrics for the tracks.
It works the best if you leave your PC unattended for a longer period of time and when you come back,
all the stuff has been downloaded.

Actually I am finishing refactoring the whole code base. When I have uploaded it on Github,
I will let you know how to add a separator for the time.

-TT

[theoqrz]

Thanks! I'm glad I found this theme, it's awesome and has everything.
Just one more question: is there a way to show the artists names in 2 lines when using the Library tree in pictures mode? Some names are showing truncated due to their length.

[TT-ReBORN]

It is possible but I won't do that because it would make library's grid metrics look weird.
Example, if there would be only one or two artist that would display truncated text in two lines there would be gaps,
padding issues and would not look good when other artist would have only one line. It would look even more
bad if you would scroll to the next line of artists. For truncated text, you can use the mouse hover on text for tooltip.

WilB, the original dev of the Library is in the making of implementing the itunes design.
More information can be found here: #146

[rikai-suru]

Good day / night. May I ask how to make this theme run in Linux? Currently in Artix (runit), but using Wine doesn't work :")

[fwn0]

I am runing on Artix (dinit) full portable FB2K-GR. You don´t need Wine installed on your PC or any wine-32libs. I am runing 160-180 mbs runtime of FB2K, prefix, wine, wine drivers (mdac28, gdiplus, wsh57 and gecko), and GR-theme on tmpfs (in RAM).

[rikai-suru]

thanks for mentioning the drivers! works perfectly

[KissMarton123456789]

Hi guys, someone can give me a link or something to a Linux installation guide?

I'm searching for weeks to find it, but I can't find it anywhere.

System: Ubuntu 22.04
I have installed wine and also I have this theme on windows installed, but I like Linux better.
Win is a way slower than Linux.

[fwn0]

Where is a problem ? All what you need is:

1. check your 32bit:
   eventuel: (sudo) dpkg --add-architecture i386
   (sudo) apt update
   sudo) apt install libc6-i386

2. Create your new WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/your/path/what you want (ex. WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME"/foobar2k)
   WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME"/foobar2k wine wineboot

Note: $HOME = your user directory
WINEARCH = working environment for 32 or 64 bit program
WINEPREFIX = working environment for your program
$PWD = shell path your current directory

3. Download foobar2k and unpack in PATH your choose: (ex. "$HOME"/foobar2000)
   p7zip and wget or curl needs to be installed (apt install p7zip wget ... or curl)

wget http://www.foobar2000.org/download -q -S -O - 2>&1 | grep foobar2000_v | awk '{print $3}'|sed '2,3d;s|v||;s|
||;s|||'
wget -q https://www.foobar2000.org/download -nH --cut-dirs=3 -r -l 2 -A exe -R 'preview.exe' ; rm x64.exe 64ec.exe
7z x "foobar2000_v*.exe" -x'!$PLUGINSDIR' -x'!$R0' -x'!foobar2000 Shell Associations Updater.exe' -x'!uninstall.exe' -o"foobar2000" &>/dev/null
find "$PWD"/foobar2000 -type d -execdir chmod 755 {} +
touch "$PWD"/foobar2000/portable_mode_enabled
rm "$PWD"/foobar2000_v*.exe*

4. Setup foobar2k in wine:
   WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="$HOME"/foobar2k wine "$PWD"/foobar2000/foobar2000.exe
   After start of setup, you need only gecko driver to install, you don´t need fat mono package driver (skip mono) .... and exit

5. Now you need the wine drivers a runtimes for running foobar2k with GR-theme, install these in PREFIX with winetricks:
   WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="$HOME"/foobar2k winetricks gdiplus
   WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="$HOME"/foobar2k winetricks mdac28
   WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX="$HOME"/foobar2k winetricks wsh57

6. Dowwnload GR-theme, remove profile in fb2k and replace with profile of GR-theme:
   wget -q https://github.com/TT-ReBORN/Georgia-ReBORN/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
   unzip master.zip
   rm -rf "$PWD"/foobar2000/profile
   cp -r "$PWD"/Georgia-ReBORN-master/profile "$PWD"/foobar2000

7. GR-theme has own fonts, you need copy these in your $HOME/.local/share/fonts directory:
   cp -r "$PWD"/Georgia-ReBORN-master/profile/georgia-reborn/fonts/Linux/* "$HOME"/.local/share/fonts
   rm -rf master.zip

8. Done. You can start foobar2k with:
   "$HOME"/foobar2000/foobar2000.exe

9. Conclusion: (in my example)
   You have installed also wine32-bit on Ubuntu (multilib wine)
   You have 32-bit prefix for fb2k in you home directory
   You have original Windows program foobar2000 with foobar2000.exe in your home directory called foobar2000
   You have installed all required drivers in prefix for running foobar.exe
   You have replaced profile (from original setup of foobar2000_v*.exe) with profile of GR-theme

Next step is optional, you can create desktop launcher or the new entry in your startmenu or panel for you foobar2000.exe
You can also add foobar2000 icons in the $HOME/.local/share/icons directory, or your foobar2000 launcher (foobar2000.desktop) in the
$HOME/.local/share/applications directory.
I don´t know, how independet is wineHQ in Ubuntu, I have created my own portable foobar2000 runtime independent of Linux distros, which runs from every directory, don't need 32-bit architecture with 32-bits libs, root rights, own prefix or installed wine-32/64 on PC. Full package ist only 160-180 mbs "fat" because I don't need waste my PC with 2-3 gbs wine's environment for running foobar2000 with GR-theme.

Ubuntu is a good start for exiting from Windows spy-/bload-/ware OS, but Ubuntu isn't good enough usable for future.
Here some experience from internet:
"Ubuntu took some questionable decisions in the past, like shipping a release with with some sponsored applications like Amazon already installed, or enabling telemetry by default instead of asking the user for an opt in approval. Lately they've been pushing hard on their Snap ecosystem and basically got rid of Flatpak in favor of Snap"
I like clean modern, fast, smooth, tiny, robust and secure independent system, without systemd, snaps, hidden telemetry, commercial or goverment sponsors and so on. Maybe, you can later try such Linux like Artix, Void, Devuan = systemd-free Linux distros, without such built-in "goodies" like in Ubuntu, Suse, Fedora, etc.

Thanks, it is a good library!
I have written the script, will upload it to the Georgia-ReBORN repo and forward it to ttsping.
