fb2k_example VS foo_jscript_panel

There is a minimal project sample for developing foobar plugins in VS2013 here.

For DUI, you need another artwork component - might as well be JScript Panel with the Album Art sample. (JSP is a little more light weight than Spider Monkey Panel, but both include the same sample)

Here is link number 1 - Previous text "JSP"

There are two ways that I briefly explained over here - 1) javascript using JScript Panel / Spider Monkey Panel (best if already using either component), or 2) command line using Scheduler + Run Main components.

For cover art, what size are you talking? What image type? I'm not sure what need there is to feed foobar massive images, that probably just use up memory and slow everything down. If I have larger original images, I keep them in a different name / folder, and give foobar a downscaled version. Also could view them in a dedicated image tab rather than using a playlist viewer for this task. Something like the Thumbs.js script for JSP / SMP might handle your large images.

A lot of that would be javascript based - Spider Monkey Panel and/or JScript Panel.

You could try something like JScript Panel with the included 'JS Playlist' sample. Though it would not look exactly like your "concept idea" - I think the artwork only shows for the group header (so one thumbnail per artist?) - I guess you could make a custom grouping by track %title% to get one thumbnail per track in a playlist? I'm not super familiar with these scripts so perhaps u/marc2k3 would know more (of the entire situation).

They are likely javascript panels - Spider Monkey Panel or JScript Panel. Load a panel into your layout and import one of the included sample scripts (like "Playback Controls").
