Setting foobar2k track position for slider. Thread last updated on 2008-08-02 20:04:22

In my theme I have a current song position slider for my foobar. Up until now I have not been able to make clicking on the slide change the track position. Nothing in the foo_winamp_spam component, or any of the command line switches available could set track time to x number of seconds. I flailed around on the foobar forums getting no answers for a while.

Anyhow, a nice chap, Zao in #foobar2000 wrote a little foobar component, which allows the current song position to be set using an exe... which can be run easily within litestep.

The result being that I can now skip through my tracks using the trackbar slider, rather than pesky skip forward and backward buttons.

I'm not sure if it's my place to upload it here, but as yet it's "foo_external_control-0.0.1"...

Just run "dir\external_control.exe x" (number of seconds through to skip)
