Installation
Plugin Installation
Get the latest plugin from the release page,
unzip the zip file and copy the file & folders into the folder of Foobar2000.
Please remember to close the Foobar2000 main program, the plugin will be effective when you re-open the Foobar2000 program.
I don't know how to use C++ to write a native foobar2000 plugin, so I used C# to write a program named Foofly-proxy(Foofly-proxy.exe) to call the httpcontorl plugin of foobar2000.
Now you run the program Foofly-proxy(Foofly-proxy.exe), and you can double click the notifyicon to open the main window.
App Installation
App could be installed as WebApp by Safari(iOS) or Chrome(Android).
iPhone WebApp
iOS starts to support PWA(Progress Web Application) from 11.3, please refer to below steps to add Foofly as a WebApp.
- Open the below url on your iPhone's Safari
| URL | Remark |
|---|---|
| http://ip:port/ | Provided by your Foofly-proxy(Foofly-proxy.exe), only available when your Foofly-proxy are opening |
-
Click the share button and then click the button
Add to main screen -
Now you can see the Foofly icon on your main screen, click it like a native app, enjoy it!
Android WebApp
Use Google Chrome to do it like iPhone Safari above, Chrome may remind you the HTTP is unsafe, please ignore it because Foofly cannot use SSL.
Usage
Plugin Usage
It's enough to run the program Foofly-proxy, and it will auto open the foolbar2000 main program when app connection starts. If you don't know how to config the settings of Foofly-proxy & httpcontrol, just keep it as default.
The httpcontrol configration file is located at "configuration\foo_httpcontrol.dll.cfg", delete it and re-open the foobar2000 program, the httpcontorl setting will be fallback as default.
