looking for a foobar docklet

does anybody know where I can get a docklet that i can use to control foobar?

or can somebody make one to control foobar.

I am looking for something with play, forward, forward random, and stop.

thanks

Josh

I think you could possibly use the command line interface of foobar to do these things.

from a foobar forum:

foobar2000 can execute any command listed under Preferences/Core/Main menu items via "/command:".
E.g. to create a new playlist tab:
foobar2000.exe /command:"Playlist/Create new playlist

Hope that helps you out.

I dont think that is what I am looking for, I am looking more for a dock that will have buttons to control play, random forward, and stop.

I dont really want type in commands.

thanks

any of the winamp or itunes ones will work... you may need to search for itunes control or controller for the small play.exe, next.exe, etc and place in your foobar directory. samurize is a great program that you can use to make anything you want. or you can try avetunes for avedesk. also check out CRNI's configs for samurize...his are superb.

[edit] I felt generous and searched for you... http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread....unes+controller

Hah, that's not what I meant

Actually, if you rightclick any icon in your dock, and select "dock item properties", you should see a line that is called "arguments".

Now, if you link to foobar, and put some argument like "/command:"Playlist/Create new playlist" foobar will automatically create a new playlist. The same goes for play, pause, ... (anything that can be linked to a keyboard shortcut can be put as command line parameter!)

Hope that's a bit more comprehensible

Never mind on the stuff I downloaded, I want to know what the command for play is. I made a shortcut and it opens up foobar, and in argument I put "/command: Play and that does nothing

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

I figured it out

for anyone who wants to know make a link to the foobar2000 executable, then in the argument put

/command:playback/play that is for play, and you can change play to stop, or next or random, basically any of the playback options.

Thanks to all for your help.

Just so everyone gets it:

Ok, let's take this one step at a time. The easiest way to do this is to make a new folder, where all the shortcuts will be made WITH their command lines, and then simply drag these shortcuts to RKlauncher.

So, let's start with making the shortcuts: go to your foobar folder, find the foobar executable (foobar.exe), and rightclick it. Now select "create shortcut" from the list of options you get. You should have a new shortcut in the foobar folder that is called "shortcut to foobar.exe" or something alike. Now rightclick this shortcut, and select "properties" from the list of options.

In the "target" box, you should see something like this:

"C:Program Filesfoobar2000foobar2000.exe"

Now, you should add your commands to this line. For example, if I want to make this shortcut to play or pause, I will write this in the "target" box:

"C:Program Filesfoobar2000foobar2000.exe" /playpause

If you just want to have a play button, you should put this in the command line:

"C:Program Filesfoobar2000foobar2000.exe" /play

Finaly, if you want a full list of commands, try this:

"C:Program Filesfoobar2000foobar2000.exe" /?

Once you've made all the shortcuts you need, simply drag and drop them in RKlauncher, and behold, once you click them, foobar will do as you have told it to do!

Hope that helps you out

Oh yes, the possible commands are:

/add
/play
/pause
/playpause
/prev
/next
/rand
/stop
/exit
/show
/hide
/config

And there are a few more complex ones, but this should help you to get the basic things

I'm actually looking for a way to do this with winamp what are my options?
