Disabling video or downloading 2.x ?

rondiggity · 30th March 2004, 23:49

Winamp 2 was so great because it was so simple and it was just for my music. I updated to winamp5 thinking i could still keep 2, but it's gone. Now I'll be listening to a playlist and a video starts playing. I don't want video in my winamp - what do I do?

Uninstall and Reinstall Winamp 5.0X. When the installer prompts you with what options you want to install unselect video support.

Or, go to the C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ folder and delete (or disable) in_dshow.dll

Or an easier way would be to do ..

CTRL+P > Preferences > File types > Hit "audio only" button
