Shoutcast DSP Plug-in v2.3.5 for Winamp 5.6 & v2.4.0 for Winamp 5.9

rightio, had a feeling it was related to that in some way.

Hello there,

I have a problem with crashing Winamp/DSP while switching to soundcard input on my setup.

Setup is: Winamp 5.666 build 3516 with DSP 2.3.5 build 222 running on Win XP.

Thing looks like this: everything freezes after switching to the Line In Input except the times I have disconnected the server before. But of course it is not possible to disconnect each time before a live show. It also crashes after switching back to Winamp Input...

I searched through the forum - just read thread no 348318 and I know it was an issue some time ago.

Thing is I wasn't playing live for some time and I found out about this crash just now.

Is there any solution for this crash?

I could provide more information if necessary.

Thx in advance

switching has never been stable - i've made it as stable as i can from the issues i've reproduced but i don't think it will ever be 100% (and is just the same as what the 1.x DSP experienced).

so i'm sorry but there's really not much i can suggest at the moment - if you're getting a crash report from that version of Winamp, i can try to have a look to see if it's something i can figure out i'm not sure (and tbh, XP is not an OS i do much active testing on nowadays so that might even be the reason).

[wojtysz]

Well as far as I remember I used to switch between the input sources before and after each live broadcast or recording. I don't remember any troubles.

I understand it is not 100% stable but now i'm experiencing 99.9 % non stable situation

Win XP is my preferable OS as it is the one that always allowed to do the mixing the way I'm used to... But maybe it's time to move on and find some other way.

Well I'll try sending the crash report tomorrow and be grateful for any help.

i've had it go through phases where it's unstable and then it's stable most of the time.

the Source DSP has always been just a basic way to get broadcasting, if you're seriously doing broadcasting then there's better options which are more dedicated to what's needed and can do more of what needs to be done for a broadcaster needing to do mixing (for just playing music as-is then the Source DSP is fine).

I tried SAM once or twice if you mean it but I think its not my cup of tea

I'm having a nightmare today - Winamp crashes even on Winamp Input and then again just after I click an icon to turn it on again. I downgraded to 2.3.3 and hope it will help...

Here is the crash report:

Winamp client version: 5.666 Build 3516
winamp caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module MSVCR90.dll at 001b:7855b9f0.

Exception handler called in Winamp.

that crash is not at all what i expected as it appears to be due to changes made to filter out bad titles. was the current title 'Track 11' at the time of the crash? so i don't think it's the actual mode switch itself which is at fault in this case but something with the title changes - i'll probably need to do a bit of additional checking and sort out a test build for you to try.

[wojtysz]

99,9 % the title was This Is The One.

This error might be different than the one on Input change - I had so many crashes I probably saved wrong one.

Now I'm trying to get the report but it just crashes without creating it...

Will try some more.

Is the filter set to remove wrong titles like "Track 11" ?

Actually i have some CDs in foreign languages like Moroccan / Arabic? that I could not transcript so I named the tracks "Track 1" etc...

[wojtysz]

Downgraded to 2.3.3 with just a little effect.

The only thing that changed is that it plays longer before crash.

Crashing without report being created.

Setting Soundcard Input and not switching back allows to broadcast for few hrs.

[wojtysz]

Do you have to diconnect the server before adding new dj? Even if you have a bckp sound?

[wojtysz]

Hi,

I'm sorry for writing so many posts one after another...

This time I would like to sum all the issues:

1. Disconnecting server on input change - it seems that when I disconnect DSP from the server and then make the input change it won't crash so fast. It crashes though after some hour or so. And that is the problem - I could set DSP to Legacy Input and just use Push to Talk when I want to go live. But after some time it crashes. Changing back to Winamp Input also causes a crash. No way out.

2. Finally I have another crash report - I came to the studio and it was right there

This is what it said:
Winamp client version: 5.666 Build 3516
winamp caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module dsp_sc.dll at 001b:02277a6b.

Exception handler called in Winamp.

3. Yesterday I asked about the Dj change and backup file - it seems strange that each time you switch from live to winamp or switch source / DJ you need to disconnect server and all your listeners loose signal. It would be good if listeners could stay - listening to backupfile and then again to broadcast.

4. I do not like to downgrade. Downgrade is the last thing to do.

5. I remember times when I was switching to Soundcard mode, made a recording and then back to Winamp Mode. It used to stream for more than 100 hrs without disconnecting.

I know these issues might only exist on my setup but it would be also good to know it

Hello again,

this is a new crash report from another setup on a different hardware:

Winamp client version: 5.666 Build 3516
winamp caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005)
in module MSVCR90.dll at 001b:7855b9f0.

Exception handler called in Winamp.

Now I'm testing DSP 2.2.3 and it seems to be a little better but still happens to crash without a report.

Winamp & shoutcast dsp

Hello my friends. I have windows xp and i would like to tell me what kind of winamp and shoutcast dns i must to have because i want to broadcast my radio. Thanks for your help

[djicyee]

please help

need help to download shoutcast dsp plugin i downloaded it and winamp crash so i reinstalled the application for winamp not letting me down load shoutcast

[Shmuel]

I'm running Windows 7, 64 bit and Winamp 5.666, using SHOUTcast v1 mode.

On the first try after "upgrading," the Shoutcast DSP plugin 2.3.5 worked for the first several songs I played, but on one specific song the output sounded choppy/sped-up/underwater. Upon reverting to version 2.3.3 of the Shoutcast plugin, the song played just fine. Further testing found these results to be consistent across two different streams.

Stream 1: MP3 encoder, 192kbps, 44100Hz, Stereo
Stream 2: MP3 encoder, 128kbps, 44100Hz, Stereo

Song: MP3, 48kbps, 22kHz, Stereo (VBR, encoded by LAME 3.98)

(Yes, I realize that the MP3 is encoded at a very low rate, but the beauty of the Shoutcast DSP plugin in prior versions has been that you don't need to worry about such things; if it plays in Winamp, it streams.)
