winamp v5.2: No entry point - DRMClien.dll

[boswpb]

winamp says some-long-name entry point ?QueryXferToJD@CDRMLiteCryto@@QAEJPBDPAEK1@Z was not found in DRMClien.dll ... A fresh copy of DRMClien.dll didn't help. I have two new plug-ins: modern skin and autostart. Maybe it involves a library search problem that appeared in the 5.2 beta.

[DJ Egg]

Edit:
Now that the problem has been later identified/resolved,
please ignore this post and see further down for the solution and/or fixed pmp_p4s.dll


When does the error message appear exactly?

Are there any drm-protected wma files in your library?

If so, do said files play ok in Windows Media Player?

What version of WMP is installed?

This error message usually suggests that there's a problem (corruption?) with your Windows DRM installation:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;810422


Edit:
See my main post further down for the solution (re: disabling pmp_p4s.dll).
Or see Will's post even further down for a fixed pmp_p4s.dll (if you require P4S device support). Note that this issue is fixed in newer versions of Winamp & pmp_p4s.dll, so make sure you've got the latest version first.

MP10 crashes yesterday.
MP9 reinstalled and seems to work.
Library is mostly mp3pro & mp3surround
from thompson convertion.
These players are not working right either.
I'll try the DRM clean up soon.

[boswpb]

Entry point problem appears each time I start winamp full
.
Win DRM review per above link was not a success...
no DRM folder in either docs or registry
winamp problem mentioned in registry
no know DRM permissions in first place
.
been testing:
not working quite right with MP3pro support...
MP3pro, MP3surround, winamp full
working just fine without MP3pro support...
MP9
working just fine with MP3pro support...
winamp lite
.
MP10 and winamp v5.2 beta was stuck in some library search

[Koopa]

working just fine without MP3pro support...

I guess a lot of problems are related to the Thompson MP3Pro decoder for Winamp, wich is simply bullshit.


[Edit --> DJ Egg]
Sure is

[Metafox]

you're not alone pal


I can use winamp w/out any probs, but when starting winamp i get this annoying msg.

[DJ Egg]

Ok.. let's see if we can find out what's causing it.

Did you all install support for Portable Media Players (ml_pmp)?
(Installer Options > Screen 2 > Components > Winamp Library > Portables)
If so, did you also install support for MS Plays for Sure Devices (pmp_p4s.dll)?

Do you actually have any Portable Media Players, and if so, are they P4S Devices?

Try disabling pmp_p4s.dll (Winamp\Plugins folder), eg. by closing Winamp
and then either moving that file somewhere else or renaming it to pmp_p4s.off

Let us know if the error message still occurs, and we'll take things from there.

Important:
Please also include your Windows OS , including Service Pack (eg. WinXP sp2),
and your Windows Media Player version in any reply.

afaik, P4S support will only load under WinXP, and probably requires a minimum of sp1.

If you do have a P4S player and you need support for it,
then you can try updating the Windows Media DRM package from here:

My HP Pavilion PC has a fresh install of WinXP-SP2 without portable devices. The problem occured the day I tried MP3-Surround and upgraded from Winamp Lite to Winamp Full. Toay I followed your advice... renaming the file to pmp_p4s.dll.old... and the problem disappeared. I wonder what happened otherwise. Thank you. My humble library sounds decent and works pretty good.

I've been getting that error every time I open the media library. Later I will try messing with portable support. (I don't own any portables so I don't care about ml_pmp)

Ok, I just removed pmp_p4s.dll and the error went away.

[soundelicious]

Thanks, DJ Egg. Renaming pmp_p4s.dll works.

[Metafox]

Yup, it works.Deleting pmp_p4s.dll or renaming it.
Do we get to lose anything by deleting/renaming it?

[DJ Egg]

You lose support for Microsoft Plays For Sure compatible portable media players.
But I assume none of you have got one of those devices anyway,
and probably should've unchecked that option in the installer.

[maritas]

thanks for the info - mine was doing the same thing - renaming the file - fixed it up good.

[winnmn]

Thanks folks... I was just about to uninstall the whole darned thing permenently and go on to something else. Not being a geek and understanding the wherewithalls, if it don't work right... it's gone

[steps39]

I have had the same problem and as a new user this needs looking into!!

I just downloaded the installer and ran it picking the default options, then every time I ran the software I got the same error.

NOT a good advert for Winamp you should not get an error just because you are not going to use part of it froma standard install.

[mary_bc]

Had this same problem..renamed the pmp_p4s.dll to
pmp_p4s.off and everything worked fine..thanks much.

[navjotjsingh]

Even I had the same problem..Thanks to you guys...the problem solved here also..I had Windows XP SP2 BTW!

Thanks for the advice... This solution really works and makes the error message disappear.

[Town_Girl]

I have a hard time accept that I need to go through all of this
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;810422

for the sake of a WinAmp problem.

Thank gawd this works

I'd burn winamp in hell before I'd go thro all that "MS Support Help"

besides, there's always the old version to go back

[will]

[see post below]

[steps39]

Will can you explain what this file is for? It does not appear to work if I put this file into the plugins dir and rename the pmp_p4s.dll correctly, I still get the same error.

Was it supposed to be an .exe file? Is it supposed to replace the .dll. I did try renaming it to .dll and got the same error but I had to cancel the error 3 or 4 times.

If it is left as an .exe file with the old .dll renamed something else there is no error but I am unable to test if this is doing what it is supposed to.

I don't think you were supposed to rename it, it is .dll already

No error until I closed it and now get that black & red script error message so I deleted that .dll again.

[DJ Egg]

@Town_Girl

Could you possibly tell us the details of the red & black Script Failure error?

Guru Meditation: ? | Script: ?

Please also include Windows OS (incl. Service Pack) and Windows Media Player version in your reply.



@steps39

pmp_p4s.dll is the plugin which provides support for Plays For Sure compatible Portable Media Players
http://www.playsforsure.com/
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...e/default.aspx

pmp_p4s.dll, pmp_ipod.dll (support for iPods) and pmp_njb (support for Creative Nomad Jukebox, and other Creative MP3 Players) will only load as long as ml_pmp.dll is present.

ml_pmp.dll is the actual Portable Media Player support module.

When ml_pmp.dll is present, you will see the following:
1. Media Library > Left pane (root notes) > Portables
2. Winamp > Prefs > Portables

The Prefs page will also list the pmp_*.dll plugins present.

The instructions for testing the new pmp_p4s.dll are to simply download it and place it in the Winamp\Plugins folder
(again, note that ml_pmp.dll must be present for pmp_p4s.dll to load and be recognized).

Then reopen Winamp, and let us know if you still get the DRMClien error
or if any other error messages occur when only pmp_p4s.dll is present and (as explained in my directions to Town_Girl above) we also need to know the details of any new error messages, plus Windows OS and Windows Media Player version.

Thanks DJ Egg for the reply that helps with the overall understanding, however the fix instructions simply do not make sense.

The amended file the link points to is a pmp_p4s.exe file not a new pmp_p4s.dll ??

Well it's gone now because I deleted the .dll however there was a thread on it here a long time ago (dif. ver. of winamp) because others were getting the black box script error with red text on it. I think (at the time) it has something to do with the use of certain skins.

I don't use any skins though but I was getting the script error.


"Please also include Windows OS (incl. Service Pack) and Windows Media Player version in your reply."

XP Service Pack 2. WMP ver. 10

OK my apologies I have now sorted the confusion with the .exe. It is a problem with the Opera browser which for some reason is reading the extension incorrectly and changing the downloaded file name!! Very strange behaviour.

I have downloaded the file with Firefox and put the correct dll in the pluggins dir replacing the original.

However I now get the same error but have to cancel it 4 times instead of the one time with the original dll.

I am running XP SP2 with WMP 10

Thanks

[DJ Egg]

steps39
Can you please confirm that you don't get the error message
when there's no pmp_p4s.dll in the Winamp\Plugins dir.

If it's still the new pmp_p4s.dll causing the error,
then it's strange how the DRMClien error message didn't occur for Town_Girl with the new pmp_p4s.dll,
but did for you.

Hmm...

[will]

I think I know what was causing it to open multiple times.
Here is newer version which will hopefully fix it once and for all.

http://stashbox.org/uploads/1141255496/pmp_p4s.dll

Download and copy to c:\program files\winamp\plugins\

thanks.

Seems to have worked for me .. no script error when closing either

[steps39]

Right I think this problem is finally resolved for me.

Just to answer all the questions:

I was not happy with the behaviour so I uninstalled and then reinstalled Winamp.

I tried the first suggested file and still got errors which went away when I renamed the file.

I then downloaded the newer pmp_p4s and that appears to have cured all probs.

Thanks very much for all the help

Thanks for the information, this fault was after installing the latest version of winamp!

[DJ Egg]

That's probably because 5.2 is the first version to come with pmp_p4s.dll, heh.

[fisher819]

finally, it worked, no more annoying message.

[Boeing_737]

I'm very glad I finally made it to this topic. All my sorrows are over...(Well, that's with Winamp, tho.)

[Town_Girl]

I should have come back to mention that I did continue to get the script error... how do I get rid of that?

Tx

[DJ Egg]

So the script error only occurs on Winamp exit with the default Winamp Modern skin,
and only if pmp_p4s.dll is present?

What's the exact wording of the (guru meditation?) script error?
(a screenshot will do, as long as it's large/clear enough to read).

Please also confirm a clean install of 5.21 with no 3rd-party plugins.

[Town_Girl]

Yes it only happend upon exit, with pmp_p4s.dll in place & in modern skin.

It's black with red letters and I tried to take a snapshot of it but couldn't.

I have no plug ins.

Not a clean install.

I have deleted the pmp_p4s.dll and there's not problems now.

[DJ Egg]

We'll need to know the exact wording of the script error, because:
1) We can't reproduce it
2) We can't fix it unless we know what the error is.

Maybe you could write it down and then post it here?
