Foobar2000 controller

Foobar2000 controller is designed to control a foobar2000 installation remotely using any Android device.
Installing the following components is mandatory so foobar2000 controller can communicate with foobar2000 and work properly. You can do it through the all-in-one installer:
  • Automatic installation:

Follow the next instructions in order to make a proper installation:
  1. Install foobar2000 1.0 or higher.
  2. Install the All-in-one PC-side setup and follow the instructions.
  3. Start foobar2000 in the computer and modify component preferences according to your taste in preferences (foobar2000/Preferences/Tools/HTTP Control).
  4. Start foobar2000 Controller in your Android device and modify the software settings in order to connect to your foobar2000 installation.
  5. Make sure there is no firewall or antivirus blocking the connection between your computer and your Android.
  6. You can try to acces to http://your_pc_ip:port/foobar2000controller/ from your Android device to check if the PC-side installation is correct.

Contact me for any installation issue.

    I use htc wildfire, my PC is connected do the internet via router with auto configuration (DHCP), I've installed all components, used default settings (127.0.0.1:8888). On PC works great, but Your app doesn't... :/ All values are the same: IP: 127.0.0.1, port: 8888. Connection error. Any ideas what should I do?

    Hi meatinaplasticsack,

    The IP in Android has to be the IP from your PC, not the 127.0.0.1.

    Hi

    Even I tried this and I getting a similar problem.

    With some different profile template, I could see the thing working on my PC but I am unsure about how to get this thing working on the phone. I amusing the PCs IP address in my phone.

    Hi Sergi,

    I found my IP (I think so, because there are two: my PC IP and my internet provider IP) but I can't find port. I cannot google it neither... Could You help me with that?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Unknown9 February 2011 at 23:58

    The IP you need from your PC is the private one. (192.168.x.x normally). Not the public one (the one of your internet provider) and the port is the one you specify in foo_httpcontrol (inside foobar2000 preferences), 8888 by default.

    Hi Segri,

    I enter my private IP (tried LAN and WiFi) on 8888 port and still nothing. When I tried open on my Wildfire browser: http://yourPCip:port/foobar2000controller, simply cannot load the page. Is there anything I can do to help solving the problem?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Unknown10 February 2011 at 19:20

    If you cannot see anything in the browser, that means that your Wildfire cannot connect to your PC. You either are writing a wrong IP or there's something blocking your connection.
    You have installed the required components, started foobar and started foo_httpcontrol in foobar2000, right?

    ReplyDelete
  9. meatinaplasticsack10 February 2011 at 19:27

    Ok, I've solved the problem. :]

    1. In foobar2000 I enter my PC IP (LAN), not the default 127.0.0.1.
    2. In foobar2000 controller I enter that IP too
    3. I leave the port 8888

    And it works! Thank You for help, Sergi. Great app You've made. :)

    Hi Sergi, sorry for another network-problem!
    I can't get any connection from my Motorola Defy to foobar. I entered the IP of the PC foobar is running on at "Listen on" and the IP of the Defy at "Remote IP". Port is still 8888. "Start server" is enabled. Pressing the "Open http//(pc ip):8888" I will get a "403 Forbidden".
    I also disabled Firewall/Antivir for the time i tested, but same result.
    What's wrong?
    Thanks a lot for helping out.

    Hi Olaf,
    Look at this screen of how http control component should be configured.

    http://img402.imageshack.us/i/httpcontrol.png/

    In the Android device you must enter the PC's IP and that's the only IP you must know. The PC neednt't know the IP of the Android device.

    I recommend configuring the "Listen on" and "Remote IP" to '0.0.0.0'.

    Tell me if that works for you!

Specifically the line url=/index.html but index.html was not in the distribution. I tried url=/ and it works..... This could cause some confusion.. It sure confused me.. Thanks for a great App.

    OK anon.. I just deleted the part that says index.html but i mad another change to the setup of http control. I added the full path to the directory foo_httpcontrol_data. This change you make in HTTP Control under Home Directory. This worked for me under two separate installations. Under windows 7 mine path looks like this C:\Users\talfahrt\AppData\Roaming\foobar2000\user-components\foo_httpcontrol\foo_httpcontrol_data.

    I've just googled the error and it seems to be a bug from the HTTP Control component.. :(

    That's a shame because I can't do anything about it..

    You can check the bug here: http://code.google.com/p/foo-httpcontrol/issues/detail?id=10

    Feel free to post a comment there and explain your case. It may help the developer.

    Any say, you can try to uninstall foobar2000, delete all the related folders and try again from the beggining.
    I can't assure it works, though.

    Hi,
    If you leave everything by default in both Android and foobar2000 you should only configure the "IP Address" in Android. There you have to set insert the IP Adsress from the PC.

  44. Unknown11 May 2011 at 07:50

    Hi,
    It's theoretically possible but I do not recommend it at all..

    The app is intended to work using wi-fi but technically it can also work with 3G connections (redirecting ports in your router and so on). Nevertheless, it will definetely work worse than using wi-fi..

    ReplyDelete
  45. CS17 May 2011 at 13:23

    You have to set correct IP in foobar as well I think. At least that's what I've done and it works (have set the same IP in the app).

    About it working worse when not using wi-fi, I'm not suing wi-fi and it works 100 %, not sure how you can get wi-fi to work above 100%? ;)

    Might depend on the connectivity quality via your operator I guess. Bad connection, bad working app.

  46. Jarosław Pietras20 May 2011 at 22:32

    ReplyDelete
  47. Unknown21 May 2011 at 09:52

    CS, I'm glad it works for you. If you have a 3G/4G connection (speed and latency) and a good internet connection at home, then if you are able to redirect ports, you are good to go.
    Again, I'm glad it works 100% for you using 3G. Imagine how good it works using wi-fi!! ;)

    Yari, in foobar2000 I recommend setting the listen IP to 0.0.0.0.
    The albumart, you can modify how the app gets it. See this post:

    Thank you for the app, but it is a little to open.

    Authentication on the server side doesn't work. I have it checked with credentials entered, but can still connect from android without entering credentials.

    It should be recommended to set a specific directory in configuration such as c:\MY Music. The default allows full root browsing access.


    The all in one installer does not include http control and playcount I had to download and unzip those components separately

  49. Unknown29 May 2011 at 01:24

    Hi foobar fan,
    After changing settings in HTTP Control's settings, you should restart the whole foobar2000.
    THen the authentication will work. I can assure you that.

    The all-in-one installer does include http control and playcount. You sure you've selected them while installing?

  54. Unknown10 July 2011 at 14:52

    It's pretty easy actually. You only have to open in your router the port configured in foobar.
    Then in Android you'll have to specify the public/external IP from the foobar PC and also the external port in case you have specified a different extarnal and internal port in the router.

    Hi lone-coder,
    What IPs have you set in http control preferences?

    If you can acces using localhost address, you should be able to access using the actual IP. Have you set the proper rules in your firewall/antivirus in case you've got one?

  64. Unknown24 August 2011 at 17:39

    Maybe you must specify in the firewall the path of the new foobar.exe.

    Hi Sergi,

    Just got an Android phone and would love to get this working. This is what I've done:

    1. Followed the manual instructions.
    2. In foobar2000's httpcontrol settings, kept default values (IP addresses 0.0.0.0 and port 8888)
    3. As per some of the earlier comments, I modified the config file to remove the "url=/index.html" line.

    Now on my PC, when I go to http://127.0.0.1:8888/foobar2000controller/, what is displayed is information about the playlist and playing song but in plain text. No GUI. Same when I put in my IP address. Also if I go to only http://127.0.0.1:8888, then your template is listed there, but with "[config parse error]" next to it and it is not clickable. I tried another template and that worked fine.

    On my Android, when I run your app, it says "socket error" and then I can't control anything. I entered my PC's IP address here in the settings, and port is 8888.

    I also tried the browser on the phone, and went to "my ip address:8888", and here too the available installed templates are listed, with the same error next to your template. On the other template I put, I'm actually able to control foobar2000.

    I'd be very grateful if you could help me out here, as it would be just so awesome to have this working.

    In the servers list press for 2-3 seconds on the server you want to delete and then a context menu will appear. One of the options available is Delete server.

    Hi Rolando, (I'm sorry, I thought I had already answered you..!!)
    You should restore the config file as it was originally. There's no problem with the index.html file and it's not either used.

    Accessing to http://IP:8888/foobar2000controller/ you are not supposed to control anything but only see text.

    If you can access to http://IP:8888/foobar2000controller/ and see that text from the Android web browser, my app should be able to get connection too.

    Please, try to restore the config file (I'd use again the installer) and try to get your server discovered. I see no reason why it wouldn't be discovered..

Just got rid of the adds in the app. I have a side question, related to the query steps of the library (in the httpcontrol>media library settings with as default genre, artist, album). I have classical as well as modern music in the library. However, with classical I usually browse by (genre) > composer > album. I have not figured out what the best way is to accommodate this, if there is one, any suggestions?

    Hi Ferdinand,
    You can find all the contact info here:
    http://foobar2000controller.blogspot.com/p/contact.html

    Hi Pete10,
    You can only configure either artist or composer in the second step. I mean, you can't use different steps depending on something (at least not automatically).

    One thing you could do is create a custom field named "custom_artist" or something like that and copy there the "artist" field (or "composer" field for classical music) for all your music and then configure HTTP Control with this new field.
    That should do it, shouldn't it?

    One thing I'm not so sure about is whether HTTP Control will take the custom field or not.

    Hi, it's weird but foo2000 http control seems to be broken. Yesterday it worked just fine and i finally had a substitution for g15 plugin which is down due to new Logitech software. And today the server wouldn't bind to my local IP. Anything I can do about it? Please advise.

    Hi Nils,
    I'm sorry I only offer my app through Android Market or AppsLib from Archos.

    Hi Martin,
    I'm not pretty sure about what might be happening as I don't exactly know that plugin for the g15...
    Does it have anything to do with TCP/IP or something?

    I think you'd like to contact HTTP Controller's developer because this is rather a very specific problem.

    Let me know if you figure it out.

    My bad, I used my IP instead of 0.0.0.0 plus I weren't able to connect for the second time due to different IP given by router. It has basically changed from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.101. Setting multiple profiles solved the problem.

    Thanks for help,

    Works Good!
    To get the IP, just go to start>run end write "cmd". On cmd, write "arp -a" and press Enter. This is your IP.
    Set this IP on foobar plugin, in preferences, in the fist textboxes of plugin page.
    Set the same IP in phone, pressing the button in side of the search.
    Software show album cover and works like a remote control!

    1. How can I control the UpnP Controller and not the default foobar player ? I use foobar with a network player managed via UPnP controller.

    2. How can I select the album covers to be played on the UPnp controller (I do it on my PC, but I would like to do it remotely).

    Hi,

    I installed the app today and was so happy with it that I bought the PRO version. Both versions worked fine and I could control Foobar2000 with them.

    However, after having a break of couple of hours I tried the app again, but now it just says "Connection error!". The phone and pc have been on all the time and there are no changes. Wi-fi works and I can for example use Kies Air app to connect PC and phone. But this app won't find my PC anymore. I even tried to clear all data and add the server again. But no.

    Now I'm out of ideas.

      Hi billy,
      In foobar2000 settings you should leave it by default with both IP (listen on and remote Ip) to 0.0.0.0 and the port tu 8888.

      In Android you should be able to discover your PC with the discover functionality.
      If not, you must enter the PC IP manually. It's ususally something like 192.168.1.2 or similar.

      The Invalid MAC Address is because you must enter a valid MAC Address when adding your server.

      You sure there's no firewall/antivirus blocking traffic? Can you ping your Android from your PC?

      Have you tried another port different from 8888? Something like 34587 or in that range.

      Are you at home or you are in a network where there's someone who manages it?

      If neither of them respond to ping (pc can't ping android and android can't ping pc either) then it's a hardware issue (something configured in the router but I couldn't say..) if pc can ping android but android can't ping pc, then the windows firewall is not properly disabled or there's another software blocking the connection.

      Are both PC and Android in the same IP subnet or there's a gateway between them?

      Hello Sergi,

      Thank you for responding so quickly.
      I installed the app and it found my pc. I did a port scan and it found 4 open ports, but among them wasnt 8888. I dont know if thats the problem?

      I also put my pc's mac adress in the advanced settings box and it can succefully send a wake on lan massage.

      Did you have foobar2000 opened during the port scan? If it was opened, the port should have been shown as opened.. Otherwise it won't work.. Do you some firewall or something like that controlling the ports opened?

      Delete
  126. Mark22 February 2012 at 10:17

    Okay, getting a few steps further.

    I turned off my firewall and had foobar2000 opened during scan. I did another scan but this time with vlc open. That port wasn't in the port scan list as well.

    So I tried to set foobar2000 controller to the vlc http port (8080) and now I have the message:

    Connection problem!
    Wrong folder? (translated from dutch).

    So I think the problem is with the 8888 port.

      You should try then another port, but unfortunately, foobar2000 conroller discover won't work in another port different from 8888. You can still change the port to the existing configured server in foobar2000 controller or even add it manually..

      Before changing the port, you could try to open http://127.0.0.1:8888/foobar2000controller/ in the web browser from your PC.

      But when I close foobar on both pc's, the next time it cant make a connection with the app anymore.

      Hi james184,
      Do you have any firewall in the PC?
      Can you access the following address in your phone browser?
      http://PC_IP:PC_PORT/foobar2000controller/
      (change PC_IP and PC_PORT for the actual values)

    I have netlimiter on pc. but I shutdown the firewall, it still not working.
    I can't acess http://PC_IP:PC_PORT/foobar2000controller/ in my phone browser.

    Is there any setting wrong on dd-wrt(based on 520gc)?

    Be sure to install version foo_httpcontrol (v 0.97.4).
    The link shows you foo_httpcontrol_0_97_12, but that worked only once for me.

    Here you can download the right version:

      This message is displayed when the file "info.jdon" is not placed where it should be.
      Can you tell me where is it placed and where are the files from HTTP_Control placed?

    This works pretty well in the LAN and over a 3G connection (static route on linksys router). Impressed how fast the commands work even using the 3G. Congratulations, if I really get to use on a daily basis I i'll sure buy it.

      It's strange.. Can you please access from the web browser in the phone to this url:
      http://192.168.x.x:8888/foobar2000controller/ (change the ip for the one in your computer)
      and let me know what output do you get?
      You can contact me by e-mail if you prefer.

      Hi Zsolt,
      Have you used the new Wizard to configure the app? If so, do you think it's clear enough?

      About the folder structure, in future versions there will be the possibility to play the music directly browsing folders. I've been already working on that but I still need to polish it so it's ready for Prime Time...

    Hi!
    I dont know what was the previous version of the Wizard :( but i so think the new one is perfect! When i installed the All-In-One PC Setup,the Foobar2000 controller wizard once asked the IP address & after that I can connect to my Foobar2000 immediately.

    Hello,

    I install this application on android 4, and sometimes it works and sometimes not.
    It is like the application doesn't always find the server.
    Sometimes it is working very well, and 30 minutes after, when I want to use it again, it doesn't works....
    Any idea?

      Mmm.. Now that's a tricky one..
      Do you have the latest version of the PC-side installer? In the browser do you see "foobar2000controller" as a template?
      What Android version do you have?

      Thanks you found the obvius mistake on my part.
      After failing to make the fb controller work with auto install I decided to do everything manualy but I completely missed the part with using your template to acces the interface of http control. it works fine right now.

      Apparently I've a similar problem: I am able to access the foobar server via any browser on my android phone, but your app isn't able to connect:

      "Can't connect with specified IP and port"

      I can't really figure out what Anonymous means with "but I completely missed the part with using your template to acces the interface of http control." Do you have any idea what to do? I have android 4.0.4

    4. curaxi7 July 2012 at 12:28

      Ok, the solution (after failing to connect in automode first and also in manual mode):

      1. Disable credentials in foobar.
      2. Restart foobar-controller and establish connection with foobar-controller (manual mode). Just use IP & port.
      3. Enable credentials in foobar.
      4. Change connection in foobar-controller and add credentials.

      That worked for me, for both foobar2000controller and foobar2000controller PRO. Hope this helps others with the same issue...

    Is there any way to browse and search in media library, not only current playlist? Sorry if this has been already asked. Thank you for the app, I love it.

      Hi Josef, it's already possible. The Search functionality searches in the whole library.
      Additionally, you can use the Media Library Browser (the icon next to the playlist) to browse the playlist.

      Hi, in the first pastebin everything's fine and in te second one too. There's no connection message from an Android device, so your device is not reaching HTTP Control component.
      Both IP fields in HTTP Control preferences should be set to 0.0.0.0

      What should be set to 0.0.0.0? In foobar or on the phone?

      Ok..then the IP you set in the phone is the public IP from your computer.
      If all your ports are accessible and nothing blocks the connection to port 8888, then you shouldn't have any problem..

      Please, can you try to acces to this url from your computer and android browser?

      Let me know what you get and if it's the same in both sides.

      Do you have any antivirus or firewall that could be blocking the 8888 port?
      Have you tried changing the port to another?

      Well, on my phone it give me what appears to be a disorganized version of my playlist. Unformatted or something. On the PC however it gives me this:

      "helper2":"",
      "isPlaying":"0",
      "isPaused":"0",

      I can't see much in that image.. seems OK but it doesn't make any sense the different responses in the computer and in Android..
      In the foobar2000 Console (View > Console) can you tell me if something appears when you try to connect from the Android app?
      You'll probably have to enable HTTP Control component to log actions in the console (in foobar2000 > Preferences > HTTP Control, Check "Log access to console".

    Hi NBT,
    Do you mean that you need to have "Default" folder or otherwise it doesn't work?
    I've tried that and I can't reproduce it.. Is there anything else I should do?

    Thanks,
