Only first video is shown

Wolle · 18th February 2008, 22:31

When i have my playlist with several videos in it, i can play and view the first video. The next video and from there on i can only hear the sound. Even though the video window is still up.
If i want to see a new video i have to close winamp and then open it again.

How do i fix this, or is it a bug?

I also have this problem, and it appeared as soon as I installed the current version (5.52). It's rather annoying.
The problem as I've observed: When the first video is finished playing and the program moves to the next item in the playlist, the video window disappears and will not return (short of closing Winamp and starting it again), and only the audio of the current file plays. Things I've tried/found:
1. Stopping then restarting the video doesn't work.
2. Even with 1 file in the playlist, when set to repeat the video window still disappears, while the audio plays fine.
3. The Alt+V (and corresponding menu option) fails to disable/enable the video window - after the video disappears the option stays enabled regardless.
4. With the first file playing, using the forward/backward buttons to move to a different file produces the same effect.

So apparently it has something to do with the new interface design. If I use the Bento skin (not my choice) then playback is normal and plays/displays all videos just fine. Nice.

Yea it seems to work with the Bento skin, but that skin is fugly and confusing as hell. So is the bug in the other skins or in winamp?
