Broken title formating in WA5 MPEG decoder?

EddyB43 · 17th December 2003, 08:02

Winamp 5 seems to be ignoring the title formatting set up in the MPEG Audio Decoder input plugin (in_mp3 v3.0). I set it to the following:

%1 - %2 (From %3)

This should show "Artist - Title (From Album)". This used to work fine in Winamp 2.91 but now the playlist always shows the default %1 - %2 format. %1 - %2 (From %3) is saved in winamp.ini, it is displayed in the editbox when configuring the plugin but it seems to be ignored.

The only non-standard plugin I'm running is gen_mircex.dll v2.0, for sending track details to mIRC. It did this when I did an install over 2.91 and an install after uninstalling 5.0. It was also doing this when gen_mircex.dll was no longer in the plugin directory. Any ideas?

I've solved my own problem by searching through the preferences. General Preferences, Titles comes with Advanced Title Formatting enabled as default. Unchecking "Use advanced title formatting when possible" allowed the MPEG Audio Decoder title formatting settings to be used.
