Cue_Player 0.57c

[Mr_ViRuZ]

Hmm I'd like to get hold of recent versions of cueplayer.
However all the urls submitted by ETNOS say "URL submitted by user"


edit:

Nevermind, a little bit of Googling got me his website and the 0.57 which works perfectly thanks Etnos!

[Tr0ll]

need the cue player 0.56 alpha ... have it deleted :\
has it someone for me plz ?

[flocksoft]

why 0.56 alpha? 0.57 is out

on CUE Player official page, you can find the latest release (I can't find 0.56 alpha, just a version called 0.56)

[ETONO]

Mr_Vruz: great
flocksoft: with a creative modification of the URL you can actually download the alpha version as well
Kiyouta and dslava: could you see if http://etono.cplusplus.se/cueplay/v0.57b/in_cue.dll solves the problem

DjEgg: i am working on a total rewrite of the plugin for unicode with a more robust parser (read "more failure conditions"), more messages if it detects some problems. But in mean while you could try if this new one solves the "?????" in the title problem

[Tr0ll]

hehe
THX ETONO !

Hi ETONO (aka Etnos ), I'll be very creative in the future

request\suggestion for features: can you map please the REM GENRE, REM COMMENT, REM DATE values in cue files respectively to genre, comment and year?

[dslava]

hi ETONO

Now It opens messagebox with text "cue player parse error "

[dslava]

and here is this cue-file

Thanks for updating the plugin to work with 5.34

I'm having a bit of trouble getting the cue files to unpack in the media library. When I scan a directory using the watch folders or just drag the dir onto the media library the mp3 and cue file appear in the media library., but the cue file doesn't unpack itself and list the different tracks.

I thought I had it working in one of the betas but maybe I was just dreaming. Can't seem to get it working on any 5.33 or 5.34 clean installs just tried then for the media library. I'm using winamp 5.34, cue player 0.57 and vista ultimate.

Is the media library part of the cue plugin broken at the moment or is my computer just playing silly?

[DJ Egg]

@ETONO
Yup. 0.57b fixes ????? in the taskbar. Yay!

Cheers :-)


@dslava
Could you maybe zip up a couple of your .cue files and attach them here?


@JacknLime
Have you enabled ML Support in the config?
Prefs > Plugins > Input > Cue Player > config:
-Enable ML Support (requires Winamp restart)
-Unpack cue files when added

(also, if using v0.57b, make sure only the new in_cue.dll is present, and not any of the old gen_cue or ml_cue dll's.) <-- oops. misinformation / see below :-o

[dslava]

DJ Egg

oh, i see - this one had mistype in file name in it (but old mp3cue plugin worked perfect even with this error - so it was very hard to find it). i fixed misstype - and now it's ok. also the previous described problem has gone.

let me test some more cue-files from my 500gb lossless collection

[ETONO]

Flocksoft, I will be added in the rewrite (in fact i have already added it). None of the REM tags seem to be on a consistant format though so it might not work for all files.

JacknLime: I am sure it has worked in one of the versions. 0.56 however did not work with the new versions since it didn't hook the CreateFileW function (only CreateFileA). Don't follow Dj Eggs advice however, gen_cue.dll should be present for this to work. The need for it will be removed in a future version.

Dj Egg: Does it work with or without the old gen_cue.dll?

[DJ Egg]

Ahh, right. I wasn't sure if gen_cue.dll was also needed.

Yes, it still works fine with both the new in_cue.dll and the older gen_cue.dll present (ie. there's still no ????? in the taskbar for unicode titles).

So it's just the old ml_cue.dll which is no longer required?

The cue files loaded/played fine for me with just the new in_cue.dll present (I personally don't require ML support, just load/playback support). But yeah, an all-in-one plugin solution (ie. just in_cue.dll) would probably be nice...

Cheers

ps. btw, what's with the Plugins page in config?
It lists all the extensions, but for 'Use this plugin' it says 'None' for all of them. Didn't it used to list the respective plugins there, eg. for AAC & MP3 it'd say 'Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder', etc?

I have no idea why, but opening cue files from Windows Explorer started working even before I used the one you suggest above. Perhaps something was silently updated in the lateast 5.34 build to fix it anyway?

I second this Keep up the good work ETONO!

yes, confirmed!

I'm just switched from 0.57 to 0.57b; 0.57b shows only "none" for every audio format (at least with 5.34 build 1278)

[ETONO]

Great to have people testing this stuff. The plugin-configuration problem has been tracked down to something fishy with a multimap::equal_range. For some reason it returns a pair of iterators that point to the same thing even though all my tests show that the correct data is in the container.

[ETONO]

Sorry for my late reply. Apparently the strings were double zero-terminated (again). http://etono.cplusplus.se/cueplay/v0.57c/in_cue.dll

Should fix all but one problem. Tested playlist extensions and media library support in the final 5.34. It seems it isn't expanding tracks correctly when adding files through the open file dialog. It should be an easy fix though, probably just a matter of hooking the GetOpenFileNameW function.

[flocksoft]

Winamp 5.34 (build 1278) & CUE Player 0.57c:

plugins tab now is ok

thank you for the good work ETONO

[flocksoft]

a question: CUE Player Information panel uses MS Sans Serif 8 as font, but this is not a Unicode fonts...



so, although CUE Player reads UTF-8 cue files, using MS Sans Serif cannot show all the characters (like japanese in this test)



obtaining this:



so, maybe an Unicode font for the information panel?

[ETONO]

It is not as easy as just changing the font. The problem is that it reads the UTF8-chars but treats them as ANSI. (Except for the embedded FLAC-cue sheets which actually treats it as UTF8, wont get any nice output anyway since it is converted to ANSI resulting in, I am guessing, questionmarks)

[ETONO]

Been fiddling with the unicode support for the next cue player.



Shows a cue file in the cue file information dialog. Unfortunately this is about the only thing that is working at the moment. The parser is rewritten completely giving "lots" of messages when it runs into problems parsing a file. In most cases these aren't fatal and it will continue processing.

Next up is reimplementing the playback functionality =)

All code is fairly neat and tidy as well =)

[flocksoft]

hi ETONO! nice news

we'll wait for the next release

bye

[gwidonus]

First of all I'd like to say that your plugin is a great piece of work and to thank you

However, I'm experiencing problems with certain paths. Please consider a path "c:\muzyka\Divine Liturgy (Orthodox) - Rachmaninov - Liturgy Of St John Chrysostom - St Petersburg Chamber Choir - Korniev (EAC FLAC CUE)\St Petersburg Chamber Choir - Korniev - Rachmaninoff - Liturgy Of St John Chrysostom.flac".

It's only 227 characters long, the exact filename is 90 characters long, though, I'm unable to play tracks with number <10, unless I put the .cue and .flac file in a path that is short (like c:\something) and doesn't contain brackets, which seems strange to me. I think it has something to do with the parser again. Thanks in advance for your interest in the issue

[gwidonus]

Works OK with http://etono.cplusplus.se/cueplay/v0.57c/in_cue.dll

[flocksoft]

on a bonus dvd recently bought I found the 5.1 audio mixing (in .dts and .ac3 formats) of the album

I'm using the same cue sheet of original stereo album (working good), but I cannot listen the last track in .cue sheet for the files played through DirectShow filters (.ac3 and .dts in this case)

maybe because these formats don't report correct length in Winamp

[composer]

Would be nice, if right clicking the folder with audio file and cue sheet ==> Play in Winamp
would bring up in the playlist editor only the tracks from cue sheet, and not the audio file itself too.

If not otherwise, it could be done by filter that allowed to exclude say CD_image.* files.

Thanks.

[flocksoft]

go in Winamp Preferences -> Plugins -> Input -> CUE Player and enable Remove referenced audio files checkbox; anyway the .cue files will be expanded only when playing them (the Winamp Preferences -> General Preferences -> Titles -> Metadata Reading options have no effect on the .cue expansion)

[Kiyouta]

I can't import CUE files into the media library without ml_cue.dll (0.56 alpha) being present. I'm using the latest 0.57 in_cue.dll and gen_cue.dll. (That is, the cue files are not unpacked. Yes, the option is ticked)

Btw, the plugin never seems to unpack cue files properly when Winamp scans folders in the background. I've always had to manually re-add cue file folders manually.

Also, the "cache" feature is rather annoying. If I alter a cue file and play it again, the plugin doesn't realise it has changed and continues to use old information. Where is the cache stored and how can I delete it?

[Kiyouta]

In Winamp 5.5, in_cue.dll causes Winamp to crash after a while after starting. Alas, simply moving the Windows Error Reporting tool out of the way allows you to continue using Winamp.

[flocksoft]

I've Winamp 5.5 (b1640), CUE Player 0.57c from this thread (in_cue.dll, gen_cue.dll, without ml_cue.dll) and other third party plugins running with no problems

[oYx]

can somebody upload the latest cue player plugin somewhere? the official site seems to be down.

[DJ Egg]

Cue Player 0.57c mirror (in_cue.dll & gen_cue.dll)
http://stashbox.org/43389/CuePlayer057c.zip

[oYx]

thanks!

[AMDZen]

Hmmm

[Stone Free]

What does the Unpack embedded cue sheets under the FLAC tab do, as it doesn't seem to do what I expect?

It just plays the entire .flac file rather than showing the individual songs that are described in the .flac file. I seem to have to used the separate cue file that was exported in the same directory.

[BoyNG]

Why we use 3rd party CUE for winamp?
May be just the time made Nulsoft CUE?

PS
Example: when in Bento I try fast toggle between Tabs - "Media Library" & "Video"

in_cue 0.57c get error to often

AppName: winamp.exe AppVer: 5.5.0.1640 ModName: in_cue.dll
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0003fe12

(Error attach in file)

[gh0std0g]

I had to rollback to cue player version available for download from WinAMP site back from 0.57c as it kept crashing WinAMP (5.5).

The reason I was looking for better cue player was lack of playlist expansion in Media Library Playlist view. Shell "Enqueue in Winamp" on a .cue file also didn't expand it - this time in Playlist Editor. I had all the checkboxes checked in plugin options. That doesn't seem to work in 0.57c too.

[DJ Egg]

Hmmm... strange. It works perfectly ok for me.

Funny, some of the checkboxes are inactive incl. the "Remove referenced audio files".

I have winamp 5.5 with the in_cue and gen_cue.

An idea how I can make them active?

[Kiyouta]

Without ml_cue.dll, Media Library expansion doesn't work for me. I'm using the latest DLLs as linked by DJ Egg, but expansion fails. Yes, the relevant check boxes are ticked.
With ml_cue.dll, it expands fine.
