the help is ALL OVER the forum

in short: winamp 5.621 does not work properly with ANY avs version. this is likely NEVER going to change again.

Thanks for yr help! I thought that problem in my hardware or drivers or in 32bit win7, but i can`t thougt that problem in winamp version. Why installer of WA 5.621 installing unsupportable plugin? Thats in unlogic. Can you tell me what last version supports avs?

chavs works.

Try disabling Aero when Winamp is running, I believe they should work then. (I haven't personally tested)

Aero disabling didn`t helps. When entering fullscreen mode (without overlay) screen splashes several times from avs to desktop then stops at desktop. When overlay mode is selected then all fullscreen is darkbrown color only. So that`s a pity...

Your system already.

What you mean?

but it breaks convolution filter, which is arguably the most important trans effect these days

overlay does not longer work on windows vista, windows 7 and what may follow.

try resetting all your avs settings, they are stored in your winamp.ini

Milkdrop fullscreen works, chavs in fullscreen(with varios settings) don`t work.
Which old version of WA works with avs?

AVS just isn't for running on Vista and newer OSes. reverting Winamp versions won't help with that issue as it's the AVS plug-in which is the problem (since it's from the Win9x days) and just needs to be killed / updated / dropped or something but no one cares about it now hence it just getting further broken.

5.581 works

[DrO]

which has the version of the AVS plug-in (2.83) that everyone complained doesn't work with whatever ape's etc it is and therefore it is broken as is the case for going back to the 2.81d.

hence my post is correct in that it doesn't matter what version is used, all versions are broken in different ways and that's just not going to change.


AVS should not be in the distro as it is clearly not working, cannot be supported (there is no interest to work on the thing either officially or otherwise - chavs had what one part-working release and that's been it) and no one wants to take the source code and fix it.


additionally telling people to downgrade Winamp when it's just a broken dll is completely irresponsible especially 5.581 as that leaves a user open to the dll loading security vuln (and a number of other ones).

Thank You guys for helping! I thought too that avs plugin is old for new os. I will use Milkdrop, it works perfect and uses my 3d card))

Downgrading in never the best option but it is the only way to run avs if that's what you want.

Without AVS, I'd probably have switched to another player in the 3.x days.

5.581 with 2.81d works on win7, that's all I'm saying. you can still choose to install the most recent version for your music as a seperate install.
