Comp-U-Comp · 27th January 2001, 15:40

PS I found the cause of the other one was crap in the skims dir

One of my mp3s is causing an IPF in the kernel

STUDIO caused an invalid page fault in

after several attempts its giving me a never ending illegal operation kernel panic

flatmatt · 27th January 2001, 16:02

I switched from the boxor skin to the base skin. It kept the same playlist colors from boxor.

BTW, that "lame-encoded" bug I mentioned earlier is happening to every one of my mp3's.

davemann · 27th January 2001, 16:19

Hehe, this happened after switching skins, quite neat actually...

penguin22 · 27th January 2001, 16:28

I've noticed something, WA3 won't take focus when in another program and clicking in the main window. When you click on the playlist it focuses the whole program though. Also, an <alt> + <tab> works fine as well. This is not so much as a bug, but more of an annoyance. One more thing. I can not use the add file or directory from the playlist editor, only the main program... anyone else experience this?

ReDVsion · 27th January 2001, 16:28

That's trippy... oddly I haven't had many problems at all with WA3 - except the occasional skin-switching bug.

Atomhearted · 27th January 2001, 17:34

I ran into the skin switching bug. That was the only thing that actually crashed me.
Crossfader doesn't turn off. I click the button, and it says crossfader off, but it still does it. In addition, here's hoping final versions will have an adjuster for amount of crossfade. I like gapless, but don't like this radio blending stuff
couple of artifacts in media library, last item didn't move correctly. Not worth a screen shot, I don't think.
Titles don't auto scroll. I can click 'n' drag, but I like autoscroll.
No sorts in ml/pl. i.e. click on time and it sorts by time. also hoping later vers will customize these. who cares what track no a song is?
"add playlist" takes me to winamp dir, even though all my pls are in a different directory, and it does this every time
"add dir" & "add file" does nothing in pl. maybe I just haven't gotten the hang of ml yet
Boy taking away the EQ really makes you appericate it. Everything sounds flat without it. It'll be back with a vengence soon though.

Rswave2000 · 27th January 2001, 18:23

i like the radio blending like crossfade i've been trying to get the winamp 2 crossfader to do that forever

stek · 27th January 2001, 18:38

bugs i've encountered :

very very slow AVS

takes about 30 seconds to load compared with winamp 2.72 which took 3 to 4

playlist function is completely non-operational on my computer

it is possible to load winamp.exe twice which results in two instances of winamp 3 running, which can't be good... with winamp 2.72 if you had winamp open and u ran winamp.exe it would just open the program that already was up

-stek

Rswave2000 · 27th January 2001, 18:52

winamp 3 uses studio.exe not winamp.exe

s1138 · 27th January 2001, 18:52

me have all same problems as stek

Codepie · 27th January 2001, 19:10

IMHO, this release should never have gotten out, its bloated, its like MS WMA, and its wang.

ElChevelle · 27th January 2001, 19:14

Notice that V3.0 isn't the premier Winamp right now. Please don't bitch about something that we are just getting to give a shot and see the future of the best player out there.
There's a reason Version2.72 is still on the main page for download.

Christophe · 27th January 2001, 19:18

we've set up a bugzilla thing for keeping tracks of winamp 3 bugs. so please check if your bugs are already there, if not submit them here: http://bugzilla.nullsoft.com:3430/

thanks

chizad · 27th January 2001, 19:29

I posted over in the Bug Report forum, but since this thread seems to be getting more action, I'm gonna repost all my bugs here.

Quote:
"when i close a wondow it duplicates itself and then refuses to fully close. This is in the playlist editor and the library and avs."

I have also experienced this bug once...let me expand on it. It seems to be related to switching skins, because it has only happened after I have switched to the other skin and then switched back to the default skin. You can see the animation of the window closing, but it doesn't fully close. In my case, it went to a small box in the corner of whatever window I was trying to close. But the entire window didn't close like this, just the contents of the window (like the playlist and track lists in the playlist editor). The outline of the window is still left behind, and you can click and drag it and such as tho it had not been closed at all. If you click in the button to close it again it restores back to it's default state, but there are two copies of the playlist editor now: one with the normal content in it, and one that's just an empty window (see second screenshot).

Here are a couple of screenshots of the above bug:

Right after switching back to the default skin and the closing the playlist editor: http://www.missouri.edu/~cam1d3/images/wa3plist.jpg

After restoring the playlist editor from the state in the above image: http://www.missouri.edu/~cam1d3/images/wa3plist2.jpg

[edit] Another skin related bug, when switching skins, the playlist editor window isn't updated with the new skin until you close Winamp3 and open it again. This may be the source of the bug in the two screenshots above. [/edit]

Also, I'm sure this is due to the fact that it's an alpha, but the spectrum analyzer and oscilliscope are both extremely slow. Definitely not a major thing, just kind of an annoyance and something that I thought should be mentioned, even tho I'm sure you guys already know about it.

One more thing: right clicking on the main window and going to Play --> Directory brings up the file selection dialog as opposed to the directory selection dialog. But right clicking and going to Play --> File brings up a dialog box with the title "unimplemented function" and then text that says "sorry... wait for the next beta." and it has an "OK" button.

One more bug I just noticed. When playing a playlist of VBR files (encoded with LAME 3.87) if you seek ahead past a certain point in the mp3 (not sure exactly where, seems to be right around halfway over on the slider) it will skip ahead to the next song in the playlist. I'm assuming this has something to do with playing time calculation of VBR mp3s.

Also, I too have been experiencing the assertion/pure function call/kernel32.dll crashes that everyone else has been reporting.

System Specs:
Athlon 650
ASUS K7V
160MB RAM
SBLive! Value (LiveWare 3 drivers)
Winamp 3 Alpha 2

flatmatt · 27th January 2001, 19:33

Update on my earlier "lame-encoded" bug:

Happens to every file, but only when in Shuffle mode.

It has nothing to do with lame-encoded.

Sleepflower · 27th January 2001, 19:55

Ones I've come across so far...

Switching skins either causes a crash or takes about five minutes to load.

Attempting to resize playlist and avs causes all sorts of wierd shit happening in glorious technicolor. I'll post a screenshot if I get the chance.

Apart from load/new/save .m3u, the playlist buttons do nothing at all.

Incidentally, this is under a 300 Win98 with 32meg RAM.

ElChevelle · 27th January 2001, 20:16

Once again, please read the read me that accompanies Alpha2:

Quote:

Known bugs

- The equalizer just plain isn't implemented.

- You can't configure anything just yet.

- Turning crossfading off and on causes a jump in the audio.

- dropping explorer files on playlist editor always adds at the beginning

- if no file is valid in a playlist, hitting play enters an endless loop

- we still use the win32 edit box in all its ugliness -- please don't hate us

- This version plays MP3s & WAV files. That's it.

- CD playing plugin is not included

- After you switch skins, highly weird shit can happen. We recommend you
quit and restart Winamp3 after switching skins. Don't say we didn't warn
you. :P

- Also, the MetadataDB is written to disk on quit. If it crashes, changes
made won't be saved (like inserted music).

Found one we missed? Go to http://bugzilla.nullsoft.com:3430 and help us
out by reporting it. Or email some pr0n to denzil@winamp.com.

Kaboon · 28th January 2001, 13:22

I don't get that bugzilla thing working so I'll submit them here. And maybe they allready have been submitted.

Don't feel like checking. This is what I experienced with Winamp3:

Typo: The menu when rightclick on your systray icon says "e&xit"
Bug or todo: The buttons in the playlist (add, del, sel) don't work for me.
Bug: Weird skin problems, like the screenshots around here but not that bad.
Bug or todo? If else it's a wish: Crossfader only crossfades at the end of song not on "next" or "previous" etc.
Bug: The component studio doesn't work. It's allready in this topic somewhere.

This is it for now. Maybe more to come.

I want to say this, Nullsoft you've done a great job! It looks good and works fine (for an alpha

). Winamp3 will whip all other players ass.

[edit]BTW, will Winamp3 support language packs again? I can't remember that I've read that somewhere.[/edit]

bjay125 · 28th January 2001, 15:25

Here's my fav error message:

"not well-formed at line 3869"

This after trying to load a *valid* m3u playlist, which doesn't work (they won't play), and then dragging and dropping the files instead (they do then play), then closing and reopening WA3.

Adding files to the playlist doesn't work. Not sure if this was already posted. I have an empty playlist window, and when I press Add (either files or directory) it does nothing. I figured, well maybe I need to create a new playlist and then add... same thing happens. I have to drag-and-drop the files to the playlist window to get anything to work. Just to be on the safe side, I had already added these files to the ML.

My valid but unusable m3u playlist contains almost 1600 files, and I verified it is valid by loading it in Winamp 2.72, and it worked correctly.

System specs:

P3/933, Win2k (SP1), 512MB RAM, SbLive, etc...

28th January 2001, 15:32

I've had several problems, and most have been mentioned here. My only gripe is that the text in the thinger isn't legible.

afro moe · 28th January 2001, 15:46

I love this.... Winamp 3 whips major a$$

I have come across a couple of bugs, but they have been mentioned in different areas... but I would like to know if the Media Library can be updated somehow, maybe this function needs to be incorperated into the next alpha/beta or I'm missing it

Well that's just my opinion

flatmatt · 28th January 2001, 16:12

I right-clicked on the systray icon and now that menu's stuck. Damn. Had to press stop to get rid of it. Need to be able to just click outside of the menu to get rid of it.

sUpEr_DuMp · 28th January 2001, 17:25

Despite what a lot of people have been saying winamp three will be amaaaaaaazing. I congratulate your efforts guys. I've been using it since i d/l it and am very pleased. I can't wait till a stable version is made where configurations are possible

This is what i have come up with so far:

>Very slow to load up.

>Clicking the [-] button next to the [x] in the top right of the base skin takes you to winshade mode, double-clicking doesn't work yet.

>The mp3 sound quality is extremely good for an alpha release.

>It would seem i'm one of the lucky ones as it has not yet crashed on my pc (AMD K6 300, 128mb RAM, crappy trident graphics card but i have a nice voodoo2 to back it up

)

>the boxor skin made my jaw hit the floor, though a docking thing for the rotor window would be nice so it fits in that circly cut out bit.

>It looks amazing and the crossfade thing is great, as i like other people have not been able to get any decent crossfaders for winamp 2.x

>the main vis is slow, as is the winshade one

>i expect support for wma's will implemented at a later date

>the media library is a useful addition as it makes playlisting even easier (when it works properly)

>the thinger is weird but hey i can turn it off

>Niggles with the playlist window - inability to use the add controls, renaming of playlists in the left panel (still using the base skin here, just while testing it) is unstable as it makes a white block when u try to alter the name and then once altered doesn't remove it and won't show the new name you have typed in.

>the eq winshade mode is cool showing the file progress and volume controls is good

>media library works well, a few problems which have been mentioned already but a good concept

>it's been going for about two hours and hasn't crashed

)

overall speed is an issue which needs to be looked at and going by other people's postings, stability does too. great ideas and great looks. excellent considering it is only alpha, well done!

Grijns · 28th January 2001, 22:32

well i am running this on win2k with a geforce.

i know all the speed issue is all bacuase of the alpha stuff but i do have a problem with the xtra skin.

the interface part doesn't display right ... like the main picture for it is missing or so ... wierd ... ugly.... fix it

I know bugzilla is not very intuitive and looks messy. BUT it's a very useful tool for us; we can track bugs, associate them, etc... Once you're used to its ugly interface, it's not that bad actually

So please fill it up with bug reports, it's really too painful for us to dig through all the forum mess to check for bug reports

thanks

Same thing as Kaboon: playlist buttons don't work for me, neither does the component studio.

Hollywood · 30th January 2001, 10:05

I haven't had too many bugs yet. Only one I had was found below:

http://www.pimpshack.net/wa3/wa3missing.jpg

That was a funny one. Finally went away after opening and closing Winamp about 20 or so times. Only other thing I have gotten that I haven't seen posted on this forum is when you click the Winamp ICON where usually the About pops up instead the Thinger disappears and reappears if you click the icon again. Not sure if this is a "bug" but just worth mentioning. Thats it.

Adrenalynn · 30th January 2001, 10:16

Well, what I think about Wa3, is that it starts up really sloooooooooow. Fix this

Dr Satan · 31st January 2001, 20:21

Here's an annoying bug. Put shuffle mode on, now double click a song you want to hear on your playlist. GRRRR.

Quicklier · 1st February 2001, 02:41

For some unknown reason.....

The more I play song in Winamp3, the more stable it becomes. Previously opening the PLaylist was a nightmare with it only displaying The Song title and no other information. And then actually double-clicking a song (shuffle off) would cause Winamp3 to die in the arse. Setting off a chain of program deaths as it hogged all the resources to simply die!

But now, I can safely let the playlist run, lost of info in the PL. Not sure I like the Crossfade feature and its Default "on" position but it is new! And we all like new stuff. WOULDN'T IT BE GOOD TO ACTUALLY ASSIGN A FAVOURITE PLUG-IN TO THAT BUTTON? I THINK SO!

We don't all like Crossfade, but If we could place with stereo expanders, turning them on and off as we desired without having to piss-fart around in the Properties?!?

I like the idea of the Thinger(tm) You guys actually registered that?
But its pretty buggy. Everytime I open and move around it, opening and closing things whilst playing a file. WA3 dies, and drags ol' faithful kernell32.dll with it!

Quicklier · 1st February 2001, 02:56

When stuffing around in the playlist, moving files, deleting files etc....

I double-clicked on a song. Move more than a page away from it, the distance doesn't matter aslong as the file that is currently playing is no longer visible in the playlist.

Now that you can't see the file that is playing, drag n drop another file in the playlist ie, move a file to 3 spots down. Don't add a new file to the playlist.
The file thats playing gets moved with the file that you selected to be moved.

Hard to explain but give it a try. Anybody else getting this?

Please don't bitch about something that we are just getting to give a shot and see the future of the best player out there. There's a reason Version2.72 is still on the main page for download.

Quote: "when i close a wondow it duplicates itself and then refuses to fully close. This is in the playlist editor and the library and avs." I have also experienced this bug once...let me expand on it. It seems to be related to switching skins, because it has only happened after I have switched to the other skin and then switched back to the default skin. You can see the animation of the window closing, but it doesn't fully close. In my case, it went to a small box in the corner of whatever window I was trying to close. But the entire window didn't close like this, just the contents of the window (like the playlist and track lists in the playlist editor). The outline of the window is still left behind, and you can click and drag it and such as tho it had not been closed at all. If you click in the button to close it again it restores back to it's default state, but there are two copies of the playlist editor now: one with the normal content in it, and one that's just an empty window (see second screenshot). Here are a couple of screenshots of the above bug: Right after switching back to the default skin and the closing the playlist editor: http://www.missouri.edu/~cam1d3/images/wa3plist.jpg After restoring the playlist editor from the state in the above image: http://www.missouri.edu/~cam1d3/images/wa3plist2.jpg [edit] Another skin related bug, when switching skins, the playlist editor window isn't updated with the new skin until you close Winamp3 and open it again. This may be the source of the bug in the two screenshots above. [/edit] Also, I'm sure this is due to the fact that it's an alpha, but the spectrum analyzer and oscilliscope are both extremely slow. Definitely not a major thing, just kind of an annoyance and something that I thought should be mentioned, even tho I'm sure you guys already know about it. One more thing: right clicking on the main window and going to Play --> Directory brings up the file selection dialog as opposed to the directory selection dialog. But right clicking and going to Play --> File brings up a dialog box with the title "unimplemented function" and then text that says "sorry... wait for the next beta." and it has an "OK" button. One more bug I just noticed. When playing a playlist of VBR files (encoded with LAME 3.87) if you seek ahead past a certain point in the mp3 (not sure exactly where, seems to be right around halfway over on the slider) it will skip ahead to the next song in the playlist. I'm assuming this has something to do with playing time calculation of VBR mp3s. Also, I too have been experiencing the assertion/pure function call/kernel32.dll crashes that everyone else has been reporting. System Specs: Athlon 650 ASUS K7V 160MB RAM SBLive!

Attempting to resize playlist and avs causes all sorts of wierd shit happening in glorious technicolor. I'll post a screenshot if I get the chance. Apart from load/new/save .m3u, the playlist buttons do nothing at all. Incidentally, this is under a 300 Win98 with 32meg RAM.

Kaboon Moderator Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: Netherlands Posts: 2,494	I don't get that bugzilla thing working so I'll submit them here. And maybe they allready have been submitted. Don't feel like checking. This is what I experienced with Winamp3: Typo: The menu when rightclick on your systray icon says "e&xit" Bug or todo: The buttons in the playlist (add, del, sel) don't work for me. Bug: Weird skin problems, like the screenshots around here but not that bad. Bug or todo? If else it's a wish: Crossfader only crossfades at the end of song not on "next" or "previous" etc. Bug: The component studio doesn't work. It's allready in this topic somewhere. This is it for now. Maybe more to come. I want to say this, Nullsoft you've done a great job! It looks good and works fine (for an alpha). Winamp3 will whip all other players ass. [edit]BTW, will Winamp3 support language packs again? I can't remember that I've read that somewhere.[/edit] [Edited by Kaboon on 01-28-2001 at 10:20 AM] berkenpi.es

bjay125 Member Join Date: Nov 2000 Posts: 82	Here's my fav error message: "not well-formed at line 3869" This after trying to load a valid m3u playlist, which doesn't work (they won't play), and then dragging and dropping the files instead (they do then play), then closing and reopening WA3. Adding files to the playlist doesn't work. Not sure if this was already posted. I have an empty playlist window, and when I press Add (either files or directory) it does nothing. I figured, well maybe I need to create a new playlist and then add... same thing happens. I have to drag-and-drop the files to the playlist window to get anything to work. Just to be on the safe side, I had already added these files to the ML. My valid but unusable m3u playlist contains almost 1600 files, and I verified it is valid by loading it in Winamp 2.72, and it worked correctly. System specs: P3/933, Win2k (SP1), 512MB RAM, SbLive, etc...

Winamp 3 whips major a$$ I have come across a couple of bugs, but they have been mentioned in different areas... but I would like to know if the Media Library can be updated somehow, maybe this function needs to be incorperated into the next alpha/beta or I'm missing it Well that's just my opinion

I congratulate your efforts guys. I've been using it since i d/l it and am very pleased. I can't wait till a stable version is made where configurations are possible This is what i have come up with so far: >Very slow to load up. >Clicking the [-] button next to the [x] in the top right of the base skin takes you to winshade mode, double-clicking doesn't work yet. >The mp3 sound quality is extremely good for an alpha release. >It would seem i'm one of the lucky ones as it has not yet crashed on my pc (AMD K6 300, 128mb RAM, crappy trident graphics card but i have a nice voodoo2 to back it up) >the boxor skin made my jaw hit the floor, though a docking thing for the rotor window would be nice so it fits in that circly cut out bit. >It looks amazing and the crossfade thing is great, as i like other people have not been able to get any decent crossfaders for winamp 2.x >the main vis is slow, as is the winshade one >i expect support for wma's will implemented at a later date >the media library is a useful addition as it makes playlisting even easier (when it works properly) >the thinger is weird but hey i can turn it off >Niggles with the playlist window - inability to use the add controls, renaming of playlists in the left panel (still using the base skin here, just while testing it) is unstable as it makes a white block when u try to alter the name and then once altered doesn't remove it and won't show the new name you have typed in. >the eq winshade mode is cool showing the file progress and volume controls is good >media library works well, a few problems which have been mentioned already but a good concept >it's been going for about two hours and hasn't crashed ) overall speed is an issue which needs to be looked at and going by other people's postings, stability does too. great ideas and great looks. excellent considering it is only alpha, well done!

Only one I had was found below: http://www.pimpshack.net/wa3/wa3missing.jpg That was a funny one. Finally went away after opening and closing Winamp about 20 or so times. Only other thing I have gotten that I haven't seen posted on this forum is when you click the Winamp ICON where usually the About pops up instead the Thinger disappears and reappears if you click the icon again. Not sure if this is a "bug" but just worth mentioning. Thats it. Harold "Hollywood" Martin hmartin@gmail.com

Quicklier Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2000 Location: Woodend, Victoria, Australia Posts: 13	The more I run, the better it gets For some unknown reason..... The more I play song in Winamp3, the more stable it becomes. Previously opening the PLaylist was a nightmare with it only displaying The Song title and no other information. And then actually double-clicking a song (shuffle off) would cause Winamp3 to die in the arse. Setting off a chain of program deaths as it hogged all the resources to simply die! But now, I can safely let the playlist run, lost of info in the PL. Not sure I like the Crossfade feature and its Default "on" position but it is new! And we all like new stuff. WOULDN'T IT BE GOOD TO ACTUALLY ASSIGN A FAVOURITE PLUG-IN TO THAT BUTTON? I THINK SO! We don't all like Crossfade, but If we could place with stereo expanders, turning them on and off as we desired without having to piss-fart around in the Properties?!? I like the idea of the Thinger(tm) You guys actually registered that? But its pretty buggy. Everytime I open and move around it, opening and closing things whilst playing a file. WA3 dies, and drags ol' faithful kernell32.dll with it!
