    * = 5.55 beta-specific
    ** = Requires reboot to take effect, if feature was used within Windows session
    *** = Temp fix. Causes Notifier to appear at Winamp startup. Will fix for 5.55 Final (ps. blame Kn0tte)

    __________________________________________________________________________

    Notes:

    1. Improved: [ml_local] Media Library searches now ignore diacritics:
    For example, a search for "Einsturzende" will now return results for both Einsturzende and Einstürzende;
    a search for "Bjork" will return results for both Bjork and Björk, etc.

    IMPORTANT: Winamp 5.55 makes changes to the Media Library database that are not backwards-compatible with previous versions. If installing on top of a current installation (as opposed to the recommended clean/test install), then you should make a backup of your local ml database files incase you want to revert to 5.541 and still be able to use the same database. The files which need backing up are %appdata%\winamp\plugins\ml\main.dat & main.idx

    2. Re: Online Services
    This is a work in progress and you should expect to see various serverside changes occurring in real-time.
    Some of the new features/services are not yet available in this public beta preview.
    More info about creating/submitting 3rd-party services here.
    Help for the new features can (temporarily) be found here.
    Note that the config/settings for each service are now saved in the "%appdata%\Winamp\Plugins\ml\omServices" folder, where omService_{10100}.ini is usually for SHOUTcast Radio...

    3. Re: New: [Bento skin] Playlist tab (optional):
    Bento skin -> Options menu -> Appearance -> Show Playlist Tab

    4. Re: New: [ml_impex] iTunes-compatible Media Library database import/export plugin:
    Library button -> Import Database / Export Database to import from or export to an iTunes-compatible xml file.

    5. Re: Improved: [gen_jumpex] New 'Add to Library' shell menu item & other tweaks:
    Winamp -> Prefs -> File Types -> Shell Options
    Highlight "Add to Winamp's Media Library" in the File/Folder Context Menu lists.
    Note: Requires the 'Jump to File Extra' plugin to be installed (i.e. don't uncheck it in the 'User Interface Extensions' section on the 'Choose Components' page of the Installer Options)

    6a. Re: Improved: [gen_ml] Optional alternating row colors for list views:
    6b. Re: Improved: [gen_ml] Optional skinned menus:
    Winamp -> Prefs -> Media Library -> Appearance tab
    Hopefully, skinned menus will eventually be globally available...

    7. Re: Improved: [ml_local] New 'Category' and 'Lossless' database fields:
    Category field = editable via 'Edit Selected Item(s) (Ctrl+E)' in the local media views right-click menu.
    Category is a custom field that can be used for virtually anything,
    eg. Night/Day, Party/Alone, Rock (for all types of Rock), etc.
    Lossless is not a humanly editable field.
    You can search the ml for ?lossless=1 to show all lossless formats (flac, alac, lossless wma, etc).
    You may need to use 'read metadata on selected items' from the rt-click menu
    for this function to work on pre-existing databases.

    __________________________________________________________________________

    Reporting Bugs:

    Please report any issues with the beta in this thread only!

              Just a few notes related to the Essentials Pack:

              #1

              * New: [in_wv] WavPack decoder, a free, lossless codec
              WavPack is a really nice, free lossless codec and it's really worth to ship it with the Essentials Pack. Adding this was planned for more than a half year. Hopefully it will help spreading the format a lil' more.

              The decoder is full functional, it supports the unified tag editor, transcoding, the library etc.

              The only thing we still miss is localization support. Prelimary support is already present, but it's still not complete. A few issues need to be sorted out, I hope we have a full translatable build for 5.55 final.

              I'll inform you when it's ready.

              #2

              * Misc: [Installer] disabled all incomplete language files, because of compatibility reasons
              A few things were added in the last example file and some of the files were too old.

              The installer wasn't really nice with these incomplete language files. So I've disabled them, sorry. You still can provide an update for the installer translation in your native language.

              #3

              Translation example files enqplay_auto.ini, in_wv.lng and in_wav.lng will be made available for non official translators too. I'll try to sort this out within the next few days.

                    Yay, Big Bento doesn't take up my whole desktop anymore.
                    Thank you Martin, you are a dream wizard.


                    Edit:

                    Bento Browser bug: Any multiword search ends up with "+" instead of spaces in the query. (eg. searching for "jon brion" in the default Web Search becomes jon%2Bbrion in the web address and therefore "jon+brion" is the query, which generally doesn't work.)

                    Minor ML bug(?): Album pane disregards "The" whereas I think only Artist should disregard it. (eg. I have an album called "The Anthology" and another called "ANThology" yet selecting ANThology brings up both.)

                    All I've noticed so far. Keep up the great work!

                      Yupi new build

                      // EDIT

                      But could you something with File Info, I mean that if none changes were made and OK button was pressed it shouldn't update the file (for ex. you just wanted to more info about the file, no changes and pressek OK).

                      And something else, why shortcuts like z,x,c,v,b,r,s etc doesn't work in main window (you must select Playlist to use them)?

                        This has been a quiet forum for a beta! I am impressed. I know that you guys did a bunch of pre testing, but I have found just a few small issues.

                        Skinned Menus: When I have skinned menus on, it will ‘corrupt’ for lack of a better term. See screenshot. And it will do the same thing to all of the menus on my computer. Once I run the mouse over the menu, then I can read everything, but there is still corruption where the dividers are. I have to turn off the skinned menu setting and restart to get everything back to normal.
                        Let me know what you need from me to troubleshoot this. I have two Nvidia geforce 6600 video cards with a dual monitor system. Driver version 181.20. 1280x1024. 32 bit color depth. Windows XP SP 3 Home 32bit color. The same thing happens with 24 bit color.



                        [Bento skin] Playlist tab: When you enable the playlist tab (very cool), and click over to the playlist tab, the playlist goes away. But when you click back to the media library tab, the playlist does not come back automatically. You have to pull the divider back. I would think that you would want the playlist to come back automatically because many people would not know to pull the divider back.

                        pmp_ipod: And the last thing that I have found so far… I know that this is a issue that is beaten to death and I am not sure about the priority of this, but pmp_ipod is not transferring album art to the ipod correctly. You can see the album art in cover flow, but you cannot see the album art when the track is playing or in the playlist.

                          same problem with the skinned menus here(XPpro SP3,GF8500[181.20],1680x1050)
                          but very interesting: with an other accont on the same machine its OK!
                          on Vista HP32 its also OK.

                          Will we see sometimes the other menus also skinned?

                            Finally!
                            One bug is still there though, when I use Winamp and I click the Open file(s) button, I right click a song and choose 'add to Winamp playlist'. Winamp then freezes for like 10 seconds, and the song isn't being added to the playlist.

                            Using this beta on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 with the Modern Skin.

                              Great to see Winamp is still alive, at least.
                              I read foobar, foobar every day, but almost nothing about Winamp. :/

                              (However, Winamp still rocks the shit ^^)
                              Winamp user since v1.something.
