BUG: asian characters in Win7 popup

[MrSinatra]

another frequent bug:

if you open winamp and leave it on for a while, and esp if you come back to it after your machine sleeps or what not, you often will get asian characters in the win7 pop up, as you see here in the pic:



it happens quite frequently.

btw, i still can't upload attachments to the forums most of the time. thats linked from mediafire.

[DrO]

that would point at an incompatible plug-in, in the one4nunz report, if doing a full one, it should show at the bottom ones which aren't unicode compatible i.e. ones most likely to cause that issue.

[MrSinatra]

here's my nunz list...

i only have a few plugins, which i thought were somewhat official, although i know we figured out that the snes wrapper or something like that was mysteriously yet demonstrably responsible for crashing the web browser button...

Listing of installed input plug-ins (in_*) and the relevent apis which they indicate that they
support to allow you to see how well the plug-in is likely to work with different Winamp builds.

Note: This is a best guess at how well the plug-ins shown should work with Winamp and until
you actually use the plug-ins with Winamp in normal use you will not otherwise know.


A * means the plug-in has support for metadata queries on a file (2.9+)
A # means the plug-in supports saving modified metadata via Winamp apis (2.9+)
A % means the plug-in supports the unified file info dialog and a '%+' shows it adds its own pages (5.5+)
A || means the plug-in supports the api_decoder used for transcoding/replaygain/etc (5.34+)

A || means the plug-in supports the api_decoder used for transcoding/replaygain/etc (5.34+)
and '(Seekable)' indicates extra support in processing of audio data via api_decoder

A {} around a symbol means the plug-in supports the unicode version of the api

Summary:

'One for Nunz' found 18 installed input plug-ins in 'C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins'
94% (17) of the plug-ins installed provide the needed 5.x api ("winampGetExtendedFileInfo(..)
or winampGetExtendedFileInfoW(..)") to allow the formats provided by the plug-ins to work with
most of Winamp 5.x's features (more important with higher versions).

Unicode Taskbar Compatibility Listing


The plug-ins listed below show references to the SetWindowLongA(..) OS api. If this api is used to
subclass Winamp's main window, it can cause Winamp's display of unicode text in the taskbar to fail.
For a plug-in to be compatible it needs to use the unicode version of the api - SetWindowLongW(..).

Being listed here does not mean a plug-in will cause the issue as there are legitimate reasons for
a plug-in to be using SetWindowLongA(..) but it is a good indicator for people who know which ones
are compatible to route out plug-ins which are likely to be causing the issue. Only those plug-ins
which do not also show references to the SetWindowLongW(..) OS api have been included in this list.

If you do experience the issue then there is a way to fix the plug-in(s) if the original author is
no longer supporting or around to fix the plug-in(s) to use SetWindowLongW(..) for the subclassing
by installing the Unicode Taskbar Fix from http://nunzioweb.com/daz/unicodetaskbarfix/index.html

so, any ideas? which ones should i try to pull to see if it resolves it?

EDIT: btw, nunz reports 5.62 when in reality i have 5.621 does nunz truncate the ver number?

[DrO]

(dunno how i never got around to replying to this).

The problem is (is also flagged up in the 'Unicode Taskbar Compatibility Listing' section):
Playa Control - Control Winamp with Android [gen_playa_control.dll]

Other than seeing if there is an update, you'll need to install the unicode taskbar fixer and see if that resolves it (which it should).

that's because it's only reporting what Winamp gives back to it. there is a way to get a pre-done string with the full version, though the 0.00x versioning was never really envisioned in the version api Winamp has (which we cannot break).

i did briefly work on a patch to make it possible to get that but for it to work properly it then requires other people to change things in the build system so it's gone into my ignore pile.

[dave8086]

the playa control plugin should be fixed now to be unicode complient. you can update the plugin at http://android.malzner.net

[MrSinatra]

nice.

DrO, thats the author obviously, he responded to my fix it email request!

there's hope for 3rd parties afterall...

[Aminifu]

I've always found most 3rd party devs to be responsive. The problem is getting in touch with them. Many times the contact info is out of date.
