about:blank error in several instances about eole-foobar-theme HOT 27 CLOSED

Alright thanks for all the help.

from eole-foobar-theme.

I have been unable to replicate this issue. Have you tried doing a clean install of the skin? Additionally, does anything appear in the console when this occurs? Foobar Menu > View > Console

from eole-foobar-theme.

Yea i did try reinstalling fresh with the latest version of foobar2k. I run into this when i enable the theme and all other issues persist as previously mentioned and yea nothing on the console.

from eole-foobar-theme.

Because I cannot replicate this issue, I'd like you to add a few lines to the file JSTheme_common.js that will display the relevant variables in the console to better determine what is causing the issue. This will likely display as blank, but helps narrow down the source of the issue.

At line 342, add the line console.log("title: " + title + " inter_text: " + inter_text);

And similarly at line 420 console.log("title: " + title + " top_msg: " + top_msg + " bottom_msg: " + bottom_msg);

All of these input boxes use the same method of displaying a window using HTML, and have several variables passed to them that contain the title and message of the window along with some others. It seems like on your install, for whatever reason the variables being passed are null and display blank windows while leaving the default HTML intact.

Ah, perhaps I should have clarified. You'll need to open one of the problematic displays or the info being written wont appear in the console.

from eole-foobar-theme.

i did there was nothing on the console.

Ok again my bad, I gave incorrect instructions. For the added console outputs, it'll specifically show up if you go to the memory settings page. Additionally, is this the first time you have installed the skin, or did the issue recently start occurring after an update?

from eole-foobar-theme.

Ok how do i go to the memory setting page. No this is not the first time and yea the issue popped up after an update specifically after updating the components. But figuring i messed up i did a fresh install of foobar2k (Portable) with the skin and the issue was present there as well, I even tried installing older versions of foobar2k and the skin to no avail. This makes me think the issue is on a systems level idk.

from eole-foobar-theme.

It could be a system issue, but if it is it can hopefully be resolved with an update to the skin. The memory settings can be accessed at "Foobar > Skin settings > Covers & Memory usage"

I hate to keep having you try different things, but its difficult to debug without being able to replicate the issue or any obvious error messages. Would you be able to upload a copy of the portable install and share it somehow? If it is an issue with the install, it could make debugging much easier, and if not would confirm it is system based.

from eole-foobar-theme.

The memory settings page gives me blank..sigh...anyway here's a copy of my portable install..

The memory settings page giving a blank is expected, but it should output something to the console. Also, I can't access the drive link without permission.

also gave you access

It is interesting that the message content is being sent correctly, just not displayed. However, I think there may just be something wrong with your baseline foobar installation?
When trying to run the version provided, it throws an error on my system about the side-by-side configuration which usually indicates an incompatibility or broken package of some kind and should not be the case here under normal circumstances. If I move the profile to a newly created install, it works fine. It seems that foobar has had an update to v2.1.2 since your install which is at v2.1, so I would first try installing the latest version and seeing if that resolves the issue.

from eole-foobar-theme.

tried it still throws up blank.

from eole-foobar-theme.

also on the latest version of the skin the text is too small for me, can text be enlarged perhaps or even made bold.

from eole-foobar-theme.

If you hold Ctrl and Scroll with the mouse you can increase / decrease the size of the text, or hold Shift and Scroll for some individual elements. You can also change it from "Foobar > Skin Settings > Font Size"

At this point I'm doubtful its an issue with the skin itself, but I'd still like to help you get it resolved. Because your shared foobar version had compatibility issues on all machines I tried it on, I suspect the problem is related. Here is a fresh install with the eole skin I created, would you be able to see if you can run this version, and if you can, does the blank issue still occur?

Oh neat didnt know that....and yea just tried your version throws up blank...this has got to be something external not the skin or foobar in general.

from eole-foobar-theme.

Maybe should have asked this earlier, what OS are you running foobar on? I assumed Windows 10 or 11, but if you are using 7 or running it on Linux with WINE there are some compatibility issues with the Spider Monkey Panel used for displaying HTML

from eole-foobar-theme.

latest ver of Windows 11 i was thinking might be a faulty update or something

from eole-foobar-theme.

i just tried it on a VM worked flawlessly it has to be Windows. Are there any external dependencies for this skin or foobar in general?

from eole-foobar-theme.

Was going to suggest trying that or something similar. Can you check your update history in settings around the time this issue started? Neither foobar2000 nor the spider monkey panel have any stated requirements outside of the basic OS and CPU ones, and I'm at least not aware of any others.

According to the spider monkey panel documentation though, the HTML function "Displays an html dialog, rendered by IE engine. Utilizes the latest non-Edge IE that you have on your system." so its probably related to this. IE has been largely removed from Windows 11, so I wouldn't be surprised if any remaining traces of it were finally wiped out in a recent update.

from eole-foobar-theme.

Idk what to do honestly the only clear option seems to be a clean format which i dont want to do, i got my system up and running just fine. I love this skin and dont wanna switch to musicbee, using it as is for now until i can locate the source of the problem.

from eole-foobar-theme.

I don't think you need a format to fix this, and if a recent update is why that won't solve it anyways. It may be worth trying to reinstall IE for the HTML engine, but I would put in an issue regarding this on the Spider Monkey Panel repo here:

https://github.com/TheQwertiest/foo_spider_monkey_panel

Going to mark this as not planned for now, given the circumstances. If you are able to resolve this or figure something out, feel free to reopen it.
