Post All Winamp 5.666 Core Bug Reports In This Thread

[Jim America]

Winamp 5.666 (build 3516)
Clean install, no 3rd-party skins or plugins
Language Pack: English
Skin: Bug occurs with all of Bento, Winamp Modern and Classic skins

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) AND Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Locale: English US
CPU: Intel i5-2450M @ 2.50GHz
Memory: 8GB RAM
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics
Sound: Realtek HD Audio
DirectX 11

Problem:
Playing certain MP3 files causes Winamp to crash, disabling "Read ID3v2 Tags" in in_mp3.dll fixes the issue, as does removing the ID3v2 Tag from the offending file in a 3rd party program. The problem doesn't happen with 5.65

Method of Reproduction:
Open MP3 file with disagreeable id3 tag, immediately winamp crashes with "Winamp has stopped working / Close Program" dialogue box

Example of MP3 file that causes crash attached

Replace in_mp3.dll with the version from 5.666 build 3512.

[Jim America]

That worked, thanks

[osanjose]

Finally I unistalled winamp 5.6.6 (build 3516), as far as I know the final release, and re-installed the previous 5.6.6 (build 3507) I still had the installation file, then everything returned to "normal". I can play any mp3 file. With the newest release I cannot play mp3 files generated by Lame encoder using Nero Suite 12 withe tags Nero creates for the file (I'm converting into mp3 files all my cd collection since the 1980's), however with build 3516 I can play all my music library files without crashes

On the other hand if I open those files using mp3Tag pro and then save them as mp3 again something changes in the files and build 3516 can then deal with those files and play them again.

Weirdo weirdo!!. What tag is the problem?... who knows!.

I can upload one of those files if someone wants to do further research. In the meantime my workaround is to use buld 3507

Thanks

you would have been better off replacing in_mp3.dll in your install from the one posted 2 up from your post than going back to build 3507.

[Sasha79]

I have complaint about something that is not a bug,more annoying behavior and is not characteristic for other softwares:

I often keep opened 4 programes:Winamp v5.666.Lite(Classic Skin)administrator account,
shared settings,
Windows Media Player v11,Windows Explorer And Notepad,maximized,and they are all positioned in
Taskbar as Taskbar Buttons.I listen intermittently Winamp,than Windows Media Player,etc.
But,when I want Winamp to appear I exess Taskbar Button by pressing
Windows Button + Tab,select Winamp Task and than press ENTER to make it appear in a first row,
but it starts to minimize,instead of appearing maximized like other tasks.
It minimizes to Taskbar and then I must to reselect it again by Win Button + Tab and than ENTER to maximize it,so I late to mix up 2 songs correctly on time,the song fades out.

[Aminifu]

Hi Sasha79,

Try the older Alt + Tab method to switch between running apps, instead of the Win + Tab method.

Hi,

any chance to disable scanning of connected USB sticks - see item #261

Regards
Waldschrat

[MrSinatra]

I read post 261, and I suspect you can whitelist or blacklist given usb drives, or perhaps drive letters anyway, via winamp ini files.

but can u explain a bit more? winamp shouldn't be scanning something automatically just b/c you connect it, and have you checked your "watch folders" settings?

[Airbag]

-Winamp 5.666 (5.6.6.3516) - clean install (and re-install as well), no extra plugins, addons
-English lang pack
-Asus P5K, intel Core 2 E6750, 4x1Gb Corsair XMS2
-Windows Vista Enterprise x64 SP1, locale:HU
-Asus EN8800GTS, Nvidia detonator 34.89
-Integrated HD audio, driver: 6.1.7601
-DX11

- When I start winamp and start scanning local media (only one folder with lots of mp3) (smart+ or default) it always crashes about after 3-4 mins.
- When I start to play a single album it crashes few mins later.
- When I do nothing just start winamp it always collapses in few mins.
I tried to change media scanning options, change output settings... but my favorite player always crashes.

Please fix this annoying thing. Thx.

[DrO]

see the known issues thread (http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=156839) and try installing the older in_mp3.dll

[Airbag]

Thank you.
It was a very fast answer. It works well now.
Winamp eats all of my mp3 files with one click... more than 28k
It doesn't crash yet, the sound is good.
I use it (make playlists, play songz, rescan folder, install addons, etc.) till tomorrow night non-stop and I'll share my observations.
Once again, thank you.

[Airbag]

As I told you...
It works well. More than 18hrs click/create/play/etc and it didn't crashed...
Great support.
Thank you.

[DLPB]

Not sure if you require me to post that mono bug issue in this thread?

[swingdjted]

I'm not sure if the above post is what I'm talking about (it probably is), but the "force mono" function doesn't seem to work.

Options > Preferences > Playlist > Playback > Playback tab > Force Mono

I have tried on a few different file types; the audio plays in stereo whether this option is checked or not.

[DrO]

DLPB's issue is something else where artifacts can be heard when force mono is enabled. maybe it's related to your issue, i'm not sure as i've tried force mono and other than some small artifacts, it works as expected with some of the files i've tried. either way, it's on the 'to check' list, but it might be a while before i get to a position i can even look into it.

[swingdjted]

I can understand that it might not be high on a priority list. I personally only rarely use that feature when I'm working with a mono karaoke system at a venue where I don't have control over the fact that the house system is wired in mono. No rush.

Hi!
I know it's kind of to late and maybe pointless too, but here is my bug report anyway.
Version 5.66, the latest one, it's unable to queue files trough context menu. When I do that - it starts playing immediately... I didn't succeeded to enqueue any files... did reinstall few times, but nothing helped.
It works perfectly in v.5.65

Have you installed the required updates?

http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....373755#updates

[DrO]

v5.66 had issues like you're mentioning from that i remember.

the current release is v5.666 build 3516 (http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....74929#download) and the 2 required plug-in updates (http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....373755#updates).

and what you do you mean "I know it's kind of to late and maybe pointless too" - Winamp was sold and thus saved so it is now possible (to look into and fix issues towards the next release which is likely to be in 2015). though depending on what the actual issue is (as i'm not 100% from your description), it could be possible to patch it beforehand (like has already been done with the links noted in my mine and koopa's posts).

@cesarLamega

I know you said you downloaded 5.666 from elsewhere and it worked,
but I've deleted that info from your post, mainly because the imageshack links weren't working properly...

But basically, you needed to install 5.666 from the recommended provided link
and then apply the update patches after (see first post in thread for details).

The official in_mp3 patch would've fixed your problem.

[eldred]

This is the worst thing about winamp, if this is fixed, then it's my audio player for life but it's so god damn annoying that I'm gonna switch to the even shittier foobar

[Ajeeshreloaded]

Winamp crashed while right clicking 30+ songs from hard disk & choosing option "Enqueue in Winamp". Crash report has been attached.

Version: Winamp 5.666 (5.6.6.3516) X86
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 64bit

Ajeeshreloaded: you've not applied the required plug-in updates (see my signature). so please apply the plug-in patches and then see if the issue persists.

[Evil Crusader]

Winamp 5.666 (build 3516) with both of the plugin updates
Old installation (worked flawlessly since .3516 came out) with Lyrics Plugin (the bug occurs regardless of it, though)
Language Pack: Italian (Problem also occurs with English)
Skin: Bug occurs with Bento and Bento Big skins

Problem:
Whenever I start reproducing any music file with any Bento skin enabled, the popup in the lower-right corner of the screen freezes, causing Winamp to stop responding. The track plays correctly, but the program never stops being hung up.
(Thanks in advance for the help!)

Method of Reproduction:
1. Open any MP3 file with Bento active
2. Wait...

I'm not able to reproduce this.

I suggest you use the Winamp Info Tool (link below) to create an extended report of your configuration and use the advanced reply editor to attach a zipped file of it to a post. There may be something (in it or not in it) about your configuration causing this issue for you. You may need to expand or scroll the reply editor's attachment window (to the right and left) to see all the options for attaching a file. Also look at the preferences in the Info Tool. They let you select the format for the report, remove your user profile name (for privacy), and other things related to controlling the generation of the report.

[Evil Crusader]

There it is!

[Aminifu]

Hi Evil Crusader,

I don't see anything obviously wrong in your configuration. The lyrics plug-in and the language pack would be my prime suspects, but you already said that they are not causing the problem. You do have a number of official components that I don't use. I can only suggest disabling them (with Winamp shutdown, change the file extensions from "dll" to "off") to see if the problem goes away. If it does, then re-enable them (one at a time) to see which one or ones cause the problem to return.

The following plug-ins are no longer working due to expired licenses with AOL and the new owner (Radionomy) will not be renewing their licenses, so there is no need to leave them enabled.

ml_autotag.dll, ml_nowplaying.dll, and ml_plg.dll

The following are also not in my configuration, so I don't know if they may be involved or not. If you don't use the tray control feature or the various kinds of portable media players, then there is no need to have them enabled either.

gen_tray.dll, pmp_activesync.dll, pmp_android.dll, pmp_ipod.dll, pmp_njb.dll, pmp_p4s.dll, and pmp_wifi.dll

There are a few more having to do with the CD 'rip and burn' feature (and the Sonic Burning Engine) and podcasts, but no one (to my knowledge) has reported them causing this kind of problem.

Something may not have installed correctly, so a re-install (clean or 'in-place') may help.

Locale: English US
CPU: Intel I5-2300 2.8GHz
Memory: 6GB RAM
Graphics: Geforce GTX 590
Sound: Via High Definition Audio

Problem:
A file must be played in Winamp before the C (play/pause) key will work. The C key should work as Winamp is open, as does the X (play) key, if the default playlist that is loaded is not empty.

Method of Reproduction:
1. Make sure Winamp is closed.
2. Open Winamp (at least one item must be in the default/saved playlist).
3. Click Winamp to make sure it's focused.
3. Press C.
(Bug: Nothing happens.)
4. Click Play twice (to play and pause the current playlist item).
5. Press C.
6. Now the button works.

the 'C' action is purely a pause/un-pause action so it will not do anything if Winamp is not already playing. so i see nothing wrong.

the crash report indicates you are not using a patched Winamp install. re-install things from the recommended patched version from http://forums.winamp.com/showthread....74929#download

Many thanks, i will try that and soon i will tell you what happen!!!

Is working!
I'll wait for the new version of course.

1. Enter this ATF string on the 'Titles' page in the Winamp Preferences:

code:
%artist% - %title%[ - %comment%]

2. Find a MP3 or FLAC file that does not have a comment field in its tag.

3. Drag and drop the file to the Playlist Editor and observe Winamp handle the file normally.

4. CLEAR THE PLAYLIST EDITOR.
If you dont't, you run the risk of not being able to start Winamp until the ATF string is replaced from outside Winamp. (eg. from a back-up or clean install or editing winamp.ini)

5. Change the ATF string (notice the addition of the $trim function) to this:

code:
%artist% - %title%[ - $trim(%comment%)]

Answer "Yes" or "No" to the invitation to rename the playlist entries. It won't matter which is selected.

6. Drag and drop the same file to the Playlist Editor and observe Winamp crash.

My pertinent settings
Preferences > Plug-ins > Input > Configure in_mp3.dll > ID3 Tags > ID3 Tag Reading > check-mark "Read ID3v.2 tags"
Preferences > Media Library > Local Library > Watch Folders > Metadata Reading Settings > Configure > All, no guessing
Preferences > General Preferences > Titles > check-mark "Use advanced title formatting when possible"
Preferences > General Preferences > Titles > Metadata Reading > default

@draconox

Which lang pack are you using? Does it crash when just using default English?
Does it crash if you remove the 3rd-party gen_albumcover.dll plug-in?

[draconox]

Spanish languaje, Im from Argentina. But it was the dll gen_albumcover.dll the problem, i remove the dll and now is working Ok! Thanks!!!

[Sagehorn]

When you click next to (right side) the "average" ratings of an album in the album view, all the single track ratings are deleted. Thereby it doesn't matter how far the cursor is away from the rating, as long as it is on the same height.
I think such interactions should only be possible, when you click directly on the ratings or use right click. Especially because you can't undo it..
