POST ALL WINAMP 5.03 BUG REPORTS IN THIS THREAD

[sellis76]

WA 5.03 clean install, WinXP SP1.

Long WMA files (over 7 mins approx) have their playing times misreported. The files still play in their entirety, but the counter and progress bar both stop after reaching the misreported time. After some testing, I have found that the maximum correct length reported is 7:09. After that, the playing time resets and starts counting from zero again. So a song of length 8:09 shows as only being 1:00 long.

Files shorter than 7:09 are unaffected. This problem did not exist in 5.01 or 5.02.


[Edit --> DJ Egg]

Confirmed & Reproduced. Thanks.
Note: New experimental in_wm.dll with WMA9 support

Docking bug found... when you use the new dock feature in winamp 5.03 to the bottom and then click "Show Desktop" in windows the docked player disappears... with other windows like Playlist etc it does still show them This has been confirmed

http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=174895

"Probably a bug. I just tried it for the hell of it, even though by the sound of it it seems to be a bug. I docked the PL editor, and hit Show Desktop twice. The Winamp Main and ML windows showed up, as normal, but the docked playlist didn't. I hit the PL button twice, and it re-appeared.

Most likely a bug."

Hi.

I tested some old MOD sounds with 5.02 and 5.03 and found that the sound output of these files has very degraded in 5.03. (After I reinstalled 5.02 the output was in the old good state.) What happend to the MOD output in 5.03?

bug in "toggle playlist/song repeat" in winshade mode,by clicking the repeat button 2 times it's on song repeat mode but it doesn't repeat , it works only in normal mode .

[Edit --> DJ Egg]

Well spotted. Confirmed & reproduced.
Hmm, if it's already on 'repeat one' in normal mode,
when I go to winshade mode,
(though 'repeat one' does work this way round),
I'm getting a small pink square where the repeat button should be...

Hmm. Getting reports back from the beta list
of people not being able to reproduce this.
Weird. Gonna try a clean install...

Anyone else?

Anyone having this problem too?
Or is it not Winamp related?

I used Winamp 5.0.2 & 5.0.3 with both I have those Problems.

Sry to post my problem again but this is driving me crazy. When I can't find a slution in the near future I'm going to reinstall my system and hope after it is done it will work properly again.


[Edit --> DJ Egg]

No, can't reproduce, not happening here.
Remove 3rd-party plugins, try a clean install.
If problem persists, post in tech support,
and include a StartUpList log.

1. Open winamp with the modern skin
2. Drop down the config
3. Change the main window size

Then a big gap apears bewteen the title bar/menu and the rest of the skin (see pic). Then if you close winamp and re-open it, the video/avs window will be open. This even happens when said windows are detached from the skin, with even worse results.

Media Library refused to import some of my MP3s with kanji/katakana/hiragana characters for file names, even after I put them in the desgnated directory(s). Rescan Media Folders simply won't import them into database. I have to remove the japanese characters (by renaming them) to be able to import them. Playing the files in the playlists is fine though.

This may be related, while in winshade mode, pressing Shift+R (repeat track) causes a the pink square graphical bug you mention on the repeat button (as seen as bug 1 in the attachment)

also, behaviors of pressing shift+r in each button mode are as follows:

• no repeat -> nothing happens(is this normal? shouldn't it go directly to repeat track?)
  While in winshade:
• repeat all -> pink square
• repeat track -> pink square

Another oddity I found is if you are in repeat track in the main window, then switch to winshade, the repeat button shows up as repeat all colored as the background and is unpressable(bug 2 in the attachment) I assume what is happening is the button dissapears leaving the skin background

[r.e.e.d]

small bug, but sux.

winamp 5.03 clean install

win98/win2k, two different computers...


winamp is allowing multiple instances from sortcut or play option in explorer context menu, in this case winamp5 will play several musics or videos at same time, even the option is unchecked at preferences.

to reproduce:
1 - make a clean install

2 - use "ctrl+P" to access 'General Preferences' dialog and verify if the box "Allow Multiple Instances" is unchecked - if is, uncheck-it

3 - try to load multiples instances of winamp

- or -

3 - load several files from windows explorer



- The resolution is simple, just enable the option to allow multiple instances and click 'ok' to close the dialog, restart winamp5, use 'Ctrl+P' and disable again the option, hit 'ok' to close the window and restart winamp5(again)

note: without restart winamp5 will not affect the changes , at least not with me.

but every time that is required to make a clean install of winamp5, this steps are needed to be followed again..

[homerdue]

ehh not sure if youd consider this a bug, with the modern skin or the docking feature, not sure if its been posted yet. Or if its just how its supposed to work, but when you have the shade mode docked on the bottom of the screen, then attach the playlist to it, then put the playlist in shade mode, the player gets docked couple inches obove the bottom. i can see why it does this but i just thought id mention it.

[homerdue]

crazy docking snapshot!

[nachokun]

The Playlist doesn't work anymore!!!!!!!! (!!!!!!)

If i queue up files, winamp plays them WELL... but they do not, and I repeat, THEY DO NOT SHOW UP IN THE PLAYLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG My playlist is br0kennnnnnn

Plz fix it plzzzzzz

OH MY GOD, NOW I RESTARTED WINAMP AND THE PLAYLIST IS ALL BLACK!!!

Now it's gray again (city night modern skin scheme)... what the fudge...

Anyway, hope this will be fixed... Winamp 5.03 is obviously br0ken.

Thanks.

Winamp 5 CANNOT open .AIF files.When i try to play those files, it gives me an error message(Compressed AIFC files other than 4-bit IMA ADPCM are not supported) . I installed Winamp 2, and it plays them!!!
I would certanly classify this as a bug. Hope it gets fixed soon

P.S. When I replace the Winamp 5 DLLs in the Plugin folder, with the DLLs from Winamp 2 , it plays the AIF files

Hi All,

First of all sorry my English (I'm from Hungary...).

I found a little "BUG" in Winamp 5.03's Playlist. When I have only WMAs in my playlist and I use "Enqueue Selected Q" function (Right Click on a track -> Jump To File -> Enqueue Selected Q). For Example winamp play the Track01.wma and I use this function on Track05.wma, the end of Track01 winamp play correctly the Track05.wma BUT Track02.wma will have an "[Opening]" tag and it isn't dissapear.

I hope You can understand me and reproduce it, if not [:-)] here is a screen capture... (atachment)

sEsE123: it's a known limitation of the queue plugin where it will start to play the next song before it forces the next song in the queue to play. by the time of 5.04 i hope to have fixed this (though it involves a lot of work on my part to get it working)

Just liked to report that I am having the same problem. I tried performing a clean install of winamp 5.03a and the problem persists.

The following happens
1.Start the freshly installed winamp 5.03a and close all the windows expept the main window
2.Switch to windowshade mode and strech the windowshade window so that you can see the repeat button.
3.Click the repeat button 2 times. Now you should see that you have "repeat track" mode
4.Switch back to normal mode. Ooops!! The repeat button has magically toggled to "repeat playlist" mode. So the normal mode looks like we have playlist repeat mode, the windowshade mode looks like we have track repeat mode and winamp acts like we have playlist repeat mode toggled (I tested it with a playlist)

Also
1.Again start the freshly installed winamp5.03a and close all the windows except the main window
2.In normal mode click the repeat button 2 times and the icon changes (as expected) to repeat track
3.Switch to windowshade mode and strech the windowshade window to see the repeat button. It appears like we have repeat playlist mode toggled

Also
1.Again start the freshly installed winamp5.03a and close all the windows except the main window
2.Strech the main window enough so that in windowshade mode all buttons would appear. I streched it to about 900pixels
3.I toggled to windowshade and I pressed that small button next to the right edge of the songticker to be able to see the repeat button in windowshade mode
4.Click the repeat button 3 times. Obviously you cycle though all repeat modes and end up in the "no-repeat" mode (where you started)
4.Switch back to normal mode.
2.In normal mode click the repeat button 2 times and the icon changes (as expected) to repeat track
3.Switch to windowshade mode. In the place of the repeat button there is a pink square as DJegg reported.

Sorry for talking about an already reported bug but I thought that giving some extra info about the exact procedure for reproducing the bug would be hepfull.

I have a clean install of Winamp 5.0.0.3

When I play any MP3 file with Winamp while logged into Windows XP as a "limited" user, not the "owner",
I get an error after a few seconds.

Naturally Windows XP asks if I want to send the error report to Microsoft (I don't), and then Winamp closes.

Everything is fine when logged in as the "owner". I actually installed Winamp while logged in as "owner".

HERE IS THE ERROR THAT POPS UP:

Error signature

AppName: winamp.exe AppVer: 5.0.0.3 ModName: gen_ml.dll

Adobe All Users:Adobe All Users
Adobe\Acrobat All Users:Adobe\Acrobat All Users
MusicMatch All Users:MusicMatch All Users

Note: I installed Music Match because I kept getting errors with Winamp.

Apparently the problem may be the result of Winamp being setup with the UserName set as "Winamp", not "All Users".

All of these setting were automatic, I did not set them, Adobe and Music Match Jukebox were also installed while I was logged in as "owner".

I will try to change the setting for Winamp manualy my self, but you may want to look at getting it to set the permissions for "All Users" automaticly at install.

Hello,

It seems there is a bug with the graphic equalizer audio processing : it creates "pops" in the sound.

How to reproduce:

Take any mp3 which is not too loud and has not much rythm (whatever slow ambience music that has a very few instruments playing, not that "dozen of strings nature music" thing). Open the EQ, reset all bands
to 0dB. Move up any slider (the lower the frequency, the more the pops are audible, so try with 60Hz first) to +12dB (maximum) and move the preamp down to -12dB (minimum) to avoid any clipping. Play the song and you'll here some pops there and there (from one every few seconds to a few per second).

Whatever output plugin is used doesn't matter (including the disk writer). Brigning back the boosted frquency to 0dB actualy removes all pops (that is, it plays mormaly)

I have :
Winamp 5.03 full install
My system (it probably doesn't matter at all, since it seems to be quite "internal" to winamp, but here it is anyway):
ASUS a7v8x, Athlon XP 2200, 512MB RAM
Onboard sound card
ASUS TI-4200 AGP 8X (GeForce4)
Windows XP SP1
DirectX 9.0b

Should you need it, I can provide a short mp3 sound sample that clearly reproduces the bug. Just e-mail me!

Keep on your good work!

Two bugs:

I have an interesting error that might just be cause of my computer, but i guess i should still tell you about it.

OS: XP Pro
RAM: 384MB
Direct X: 8.1

The problem seems to only happen when i want to choose my song from the playlist manually.

"[openeing]" shows up when files open, and it never really resolves, and forces 1. the song to skip like it was in an old CD player. and 2. Winamp to crash.

Ive never had this happen in any other version but 5.03

i have attaced an image to show you what i mean. At hte time of the screenshot i was running Mozilla 1.6 , FlashMX Professional, and DeadAIM.

I have only one the Viralsound Client v .90, and i had that before i got Winamp 5.

Right now it isnt doing it, i do belive i was just using too much of my CPU, so i doubt it was winamps fault.

[Skins]

Strike that, it happened again,

it only happens with .wma files and the screenshot shows how many windows were open at the time, so thats another reson i belive it might be my PC.

[musicman_wales_]

I was watching some clips of Alan Partridge just then, and had the winamp video window in the corner.

When it goes to the next video file, it is no longer on top, but if i make it fullscreen and then back to how it was, it is then on top.

I am running 5.03.

Shouldnt be too hard to sort?

Nice one.

[charleswhitcomb]

I'm running Winamp 5.03 on WinXP with a Nvidia Gforce 4 with the latest drivers (1/4/2004). I am using the standard visualation (Advanced Visualization Studio 2.81b). My playlist has both mp3 and video files. With overlay mode switched on for both the visualisation and the video playback. When winamp goes from a mp3 showing the vis full screen on my TV to a video the overlay stops and there's no video on my TV.
I've tried changing dual-screen modes without any luck.
I can make it switch from overlay video to overlay vis by using the option "Close video window when video stops" but there's no option like this for the vis.
If I stop the playback of the video and start it again the overlay works fine as well as if I open the video display options in the preferences.

Strange rendering bug in the ML in which the contents of the window move out of their proper place. This has happened since 5.0 Final.

Unchecking the checkbox "Use ML data for title-formatting" doesn't seem to work at all. This is only obvious to the user if ML Options -> "Read file metadata tags" is off and the tags are different to the data the filename suggests. This happens with MP3's with ID3v1 tags only, ID3v2 tags only, or both tags.

I don't often use ML (media library?), but I rely quite a bit on the straight playlist window (PlW). My problem is that, unlike 2.91, in 5.03a, PlW always replaces displayed filenames with ID3 tags, whether I have the 'Read ID3v1/v2 tags for titles' flag set or not. The problem even occurs when I set title formatting to %7 under the 'Read ID3v1/v2 tags for titles' checkbox!


[Edit --> DJ Egg]

Not a bug!

Prefs -> Titles -> Advanced Title Formatting
If enabled, this overrides individual input plugin title formatting.
Either disable it, or change it accordingly, eg.
$filepart(%filename%)

I don't know if this is a bug, or if this has been posted before, but the tooltips for the main window seem to be behind the equalizer using classic skins. For more detail of what I am talking about, see the atached sereenshot.
Winamp 5.03a (clean install)
Intel Pentium III 533 MHz
Windows 98 SE

Yes, this one's been around since the dawn of time.

Movie files with lots of hyphens in are all messed up by the playlist.
Eg the file: "Vampires_-_1x01_-_Part-1.[first-series].avi" appears as "Vampires - series].avi"
or "Bob - S01E01 - Pilot.avi" as "Bob - Pilot". I know this is because winamp is trying to separate author from title as it does with .mp3s, but I'm sure you can appreciate it makes it harder to sort an entire collcetion into episode order. Perhaps at least an option to turn it off for movie files only?

Also, don't know if its been reported before, but:
the balance resets at the start of every song when using out_wave.

1. Known issue when using a combo of:
Prefs -> ml -> library options: Use library data for Winamp title formatting
Prefs -> Titles -> Advance Title Formatting
Prefs -> ml -> Metadata Detection = smart/simple mode.

Feature requests go in the Wishlist

2. Although waveOut is not recommended under Win2k/XP,
I can't reproduce the WaveOut balance reset problem.
Anyone else?

Make sure balance is centralized in soundcard / windows control panel
and 'reset to original value on stop' is not checked in waveOut config.

As I explained initially in this post:
http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....hreadid=177225
Winamp 5 seems to refuse to read Lyrics3 v2 tags. In the MP3 are present the audio data, lyrics3 tag & id3v1 tag, as it is supposed to be.
I'm using Winamp 5.03, but had same problem with the 5.02. And last, the whole thing works fine with Winamp 2.9x (should be the last version avaible if my memory ain't leaninent).

Hope this helps

I am using Winamp 5.03 upgraded from 5.0 Final

I set my Winamp Modern skin to docked mode and attached it to the top of screen. Whenever I do this my settings are not saved when I exit the program. I found that they will save fine as long as winamp isn't docked.
