I am planning to add support for various formats of embedded music in the future.

Also, some pages have a non-standard HTML tag BGSOUND which is not supported by Firefox.

You might find the following link helpful in solving many of the embedded media problems in Firefox. I haven't personally tried the methods described, so please experiment at your own risk.

First, make sure that your media player fully supports Unicode characters.

In order to see Unicode track titles correctly, leave the value of Character Encoding on Default.

Consider the following scenario:

1. You mute the player from FoxyTunes.
2. You un-mute it from the player itself.
3. FoxyTunes thinks the player is muted, so the first time the (un)mute button is pressed it will in fact do nothing. This can get pretty annoying.

The real problem is that FoxyTunes isn't notified by the player (this is true for many of the players supported) when it changes its state.

Some players support only increase/decrease volume commands.

In this case the slider enters a special mode of operation - it will always be at its middle position.

You can control the volume by either clicking to the left or to the right of the slider thumb, or dragging it gently. The volume will be increased or decreased, and the slider will return to its middle.

I found that the best way to change the volume in this situation is to make a few fast clicks on the left or on the right of the slider thumb (on the slider line). This will send a few increase/decrease commands and the volume will be adjusted.

Merging the Play and Pause buttons can be problematic.

FoxyTunes is a cross-player solution, so it needs to behave similarly with different players. Not in every player this button is a toggle.

For example, in WinAmp, the Pause button is indeed a pause toggle, but the Play button will start the playback if it is stopped or start the current track from the beginning if it's already playing. If I merge the two buttons, this functionality will be lost.

If you are using Firefox, you can use the Extension Manager that can be found in Tools > Add-ons (or Tools > Extensions with Firefox versions prior to 2).

Instructions for Mozilla users can be found here.

Please let us know why you are uninstalling FoxyTunes, so we can either try and solve the problem you have encountered, or improve future versions of FoxyTunes. Thanks!

It looks like your Firefox profile folder got corrupted. The installation instructions page has a few links that will help you fix this situation.

In foobar2000 preferences, add 'L' keyboard shortcut for [main]Playlist/Open.

Go Back

• Choose Player > Select > foobar2000.
• For Columns UI, select Player > Options > foobar2000 Alternative UI.
  Alternatively, for some versions of Columns UI, open Player > Options > Custom and enter
  -c "{E7076D1C-A7BF-4f39-B771-BCBE88F2A2A8}".
• For foo_tunes, open Player > Options > Custom and enter -c "ATL:00B279C8".

Make sure that the above options aren't selected when using foobar2000 without Columns UI.

Do you have a fancy Microsoft keyboard?

If so, you also probably have the IntelliSense software running. I believe that it conflicts with FoxyTunes and interferes with it controlling MMJB.

You can try to tweak the IntelliSense settings to try and solve the problem. Also, if you are not using IntelliSense and it was just installed by default with your keyboard you can try and uninstall it.

Go Back

You can manually reset the FoxyTunes position.

1. Type about:config in your address bar.
2. Locate the following keys and reset them using their context sensitive menu:
   • foxytunes.parent_element_id
   • foxytunes.insert_before_element_id
   • foxytunes.insert_after_element_id
3. Restart your browser

FoxyTunes will appear at its default position - at the status bar.

There is a problem with the Standard C++ Library version installed on FC3 by default. Fedora Core 3 installs libstdc++.so.6 by default, while FoxyTunes and many other packages (including official FC3 ones) require another version of this library, libstdc++.so.5. You can install the compat-libstdc++ package to solve this problem. If you are using yum, this can be done by typing yum install compat-libstdc++.

With newer FoxyTunes versions you should no longer get the warning dialog.

When you use FoxyTunes to control iTunes, FoxyTunes connects to its standard interface. When you try to close iTunes, it knows that FoxyTunes is still connected and it displays a dialog saying "One or more applications are using the iTunes interface" to remind you of that fact. It is absolutely safe to go ahead and quit from iTunes by pressing "Yes" in this dialog. In a future version of FoxyTunes, I will add a "disconnect" option that will disconnect from the currently connected player so no dialogs are displayed.

Go Back

With some players and under certain conditions, FoxyTunes cannot determine whether the player is playing audio or video. When FoxyTunes isn't sure that the player is playing audio, it won't auto insert the track title. You can still insert the signature with one click by pressing the 'Signatunes' button.

Go Back

In newer FoxyTunes releases the keyboard shortcuts are disabled by default. This was done because in some cases, the shortcuts conflicted with other extensions and Web forms.

You can always enable the shortcuts and configure them in FoxyTunes options.

Currently FoxyTunes is built for the PowerPC Mac platform. Native support (Universal) for Intel will be added soon.

In order to get FoxyTunes working on an Intel Mac, you'll need to turn on Rosetta:

1. Find the Firefox icon in Applications (in the Finder)
2. Select the icon and type Command-I (or select "Get Info" from the File or context menus)
3. Select the "Open using Rosetta" check-box
4. Restart Firefox

Fedora Core 5 and other newer distributions come with a non-standard Firefox build, which causes compatibility problems with FoxyTunes. We are looking into solving this issue. In the meantime, FoxyTunes should be compatible with the official Firefox builds that can be obtained from here.

Also, make sure you have a compatible version of the libstdc++ library installed.

Go Back

When foobar2000 is minimized to the system tray, the title of the currently playing song isn't immediately updated in FoxyTunes. This is a known issue and we will work on finding a solution as soon as possible.

In the meantime, you can configure foobar2000 not to minimize to the system tray, which solves the problem.

Go Back

Update: I found a way to place FoxyTunes immediately to the right of the main menu. I've tested this on Firfox 1.0 RC2 - when dragging FoxyTunes, drop it when your cursor is over the letter "p" in "Help". This should position FoxyTunes to the right of the menu and make it stay there.

In order to position itself, FoxyTunes remembers the element immediately to its right. The problem is that the spacer element to the right of the browser main menu usually has a dynamic name that changes on every browser restart. When the browser is restarted, FoxyTunes can no longer locate the spacer element and thus reverts to its default position at the bottom.

When you position FoxyTunes to the left of the throbber element this will not happen.

Important: Please do not reposition FoxyTunes while the "Customize toolbars" dialog is open.

FoxyTunes uses effects for its buttons that can be displayed incorrectly with certain display configurations.

There is a workaround for this - you can disable these effects.

You'll need to create and/or edit your userChrome.css file. More information on this file can be found here.

Add the following lines to this file and restart the browser:

.foxytunes-statusbar-button,
.foxytunes-statusbar-menubutton {
    -moz-opacity: 1 !important;
}

Go Back

You'll need to create and/or edit your userChrome.css file. More information on this file can be found here.

Add the following lines to this file and restart the browser:

#foxytunes-track-title-status-label {
  -moz-binding: 
   url("chrome://global/content/bindings/general.xml#statusbarpanel")
   !important;
   text-align: right;
}

Please note that this setting disables the scroll function.

You'll need to create and/or edit your userChrome.css file. More information on this file can be found here.

Add the following lines to this file and restart the browser:

#foxytunes-track-title-status-label {
	color: blue;
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 14px;
	font-family: Verdana;
}

You can of course change the above to the wanted font, color, size etc. You can also use any additional CSS statements to further style the track title display.
