Problem with Media Library in V5.24 [x86]

[ampman80]

The ALT+L key combination which allows you to toggle in and out of the WinAmp Media Library doesn’t work properly (on my system).

*** Steps to Replicate the Error ***

1) Boot Windows XP Pro normally and log on as an Admin user
2) Launch WinAmp using the start menu shortcut
3) Single left-click the WinAmp Playlist with the mouse to set the focus to it
4) Use the ALT+L key combination to open Media Library (should work fine)
5) Use the same key combination to close the Media Library (on my system the ML doesn’t close with ALT+L as it did in earlier versions such as V5.13 [X86]

Not a major bug but it would be nice to see this one resolved.

*** System Configuration ***

Hi. This is already fixed in 5.25 public beta

[ampman80]

Cheers for that - homepage advertised 5.24 as latest version though. so didn't know there was a later one at Beta

[ampman80]

Just tried Beta 5.25 - still same problem for me. i did total unistall of previous version and deleted winamp folder from the system before installing 5.25 and still same problem

[DJ Egg]

Hmm, maybe the fix isn't in the public beta then? I can't reproduce the problem using the latest internal build.

[edit] the only Winamp window I can reproduce it from is the Video window [/edit]

[ampman80]

HMMMM isn't programming fun????

stupid question but where is the add files to ML function in beta 5.25. as when i did the clean install i couldn't finmd it (previously tried a "Previous Install" ad it was there.

ML > Library button (bottom of left pane) > Add Media to Library
(afaik, it's always been there)

Also available in Modern Skin > ML > File menu > Add Media to Library


Or... Prefs > Media Library > Local Media > Watch Folders tab > Add Folder
then rescan

[ampman80]

Cheers :-)

when will the next version of winamp be released to the public?

[ampman80]

FYI: Everything works fine with ML until you click on different items in the tree structure down the left; then i get the ALT+L BUG again in ML

[ampman80]

The problem I reported earlier only appears to exist when running the classic skin and not the normal one.

Hope this helps
