winamp shuts-off instantly

jujuca · 2nd June 2007, 22:50

hiya, i searched all the faqs and forums and I didn't see anything about this, so I'm posting a topic.

Today I updated my winamp to version 5.35, and now everytime a music finishes, winamp suddenly shuts off! what could be causing this?

thanks in advance.

Do you have any third party plug-ins? Maybe a plug-in that closes Winamp after a song or playlist ends (like a sleep or clock plug-in).

Does happen with enqueue-ed (via JTF) files? Right click on the Stop button > highlight/select 'On end of queue' > Is Stop Winamp selected as one of the options?

Otherwise, please post system & Winamp specs.

well, I have a "display now playing song on msn" and also a "display now playing on irc" plug-in. I have had those for a while, and nothing like this has happened before.
To be honest, i don't know what you mean by "equeue-ed via JTF files".

As you can see, nothing in here is checked.
I am going to try a "clean install" with no 3rd party plugins now. if the problem persists, I will confirm back.

As a FYI

JTF or JTFE (Jump to File Extended) is a default plug-in that comes with Winamp. One of the features is to "enqueue next" items in the playlist. So, you can play different item(s) on the playlist in consecutive order regardless of their position in the playlist.

If you press the J or F3 key the Jump to File box pops-up which allows you to enqueue items in the playlisyt, this can also be done within the playlist by Alt clicking on a item or selecting multiple items and pressing Q.

Based on your screenshot, that feature is not causing the issue.

alright... after the clean install it is working fine. I haven't installed any of my old plug-ins though. well, it works and that's what counts. thanks for all the help!
