Post All Winamp 5.666 Core Bug Reports In This Thread

[DrO]

well they're not unnecessary in this case, just not named in the same manner as before (as they store per-view specific settings). so you can go through when Winamp is not running, re-add the 'm' and do the same in gen_ml.ini to get them all back to being the same again.

I've noticed a slight skip in the first 5-15 seconds (it varies) of every 4th or 5th song I play. Have not had this problem until going to 5.66.

I am playing the song in a playlist, not in the local library.

So I am the only one that has had this problem? Just about EVERY song I play out of a playlist (not out of the library) skips. I have some MP3s on random and almost every song, within the first few seconds there is a very annoying skip. I have never had this with any other version of Winamp. I don't mess around with many settings, and any setting I changed wouldn't affect a song 5-10 seconds in, I wouldn't think.

It seems like you may be the only one. This could be some plugin messing with you. An Info Tool report will help us narrow down what is different about your config.

the only plugin I have is SA Stereo Tool (the free version) and I don't even have that on. I have had it for about a month, but until I upgraded to 5.66, I did not have this skip.

Is there a way to get an info tool report out of Winamp?

1: Create a folder with 101 subfolders. Sample batch file below will create 101 subfolders in whatever directory it's executed from.

@ECHO OFF

FOR /L %%A IN (1, 1, 101) DO (
MKDIR %%A
)

2: Press INS in Winamp to get the "Open Folder" dialog.

3: Select one of the 101 subfolders, ie, 6.

4: Press INS again, notice that it shows only "6" being a subfolder, the other 100 are gone.

5: Want the problem to "go away"? Delete any 1 of the subfolders to get the count back to 100.

this is controlled by the OS as all we're doing is calling SHBrowseForFolder and most of the functionality is OS controlled. as long as it's re-selecting the correct folder then that's about all Winamp can adjust. And i assume the OS isn't showing them all by default for a speed optimisation as clicking on the parent folder arrow will then show all of the sub-folders.

as such, it's not liked behaviour but is not technically a bug and isn't something Winamp can (or should) try to circumvent imho.

Using the Winamp Classic skin. If I play an MP3/WAV/M4A file and use the mouse to drag the Seeking Bar to a new time point, when I release the mouse the display continues to show "Seek To: xx:xx" instead of reverting to the song title. Doesn't happen with WMA files. Doesn't happen when seeking with the keyboard. This behavior has been occurring with Winamp versions >= 5.65 (5.64 is fine).

this will be fixed as one of the fixes making it into the patched 5.666 build which is coming in a few days.

I can't export/delete a playlist containing a colon (+ any forbidden symbols) in the name, when i click on export, window won't pop up.

will be fixed for the patch build which is coming. have now ensured that we're checking and removing any invalid characters for real files from the name before it is passed to the OS function we're using (it'll now replace those characters with underscore i.e. _ ).

"on second time" I mean, I can remove first created playlist with symbol (like . or !), but second one won't disappear until restart.

In detail: create a playlist named "blablabla!" (playlist must contain some songs, an empty one removing correctly allways) then delete it, try to repeat the same way.
+ I use US localization

i've been trying to replicate this for the last few minutes and i'm not seeing it (from the 'steps' in this or the other posts. every playlist i create is being correctly removed even when duplicating up ones with bad names. unless someone can provide clearer steps to reproduce the issue (is it maybe in a specific view / action in the Winamp ui to remove things), i'm out of options to replicate and fix this.

Try this:
Open a playlist in the playlist editor. Using the context menu command Send to: save it to the library giving it a new name that includes a ":". Save it again with another name including a ":".

Switch to the media library and extend the Playlists list on the left side. The 2 new lists created should be at the bottom of the list. Select the next to the last playlist (with the ":" in its name) and its contents should be shown on the right side. Use the context menu command on the name of this playlist and delete it.

Now select the next playlist with the ":" in its name (should be at the bottom of the list). Its contents should be shown on the right side. Use the context menu command on the name of this playlist and delete it. The list's contents should disappear on the right, but the name remains in the list on the left. Use the context menu command on the name and try to delete it again. The name should remain and the playlist at the top of the list is deleted. The more you do this, the more playlists get deleted (from the top down) and the name (with the ":") remains.

reproduced. will have to sort that out first thing in the morning.

Hi BrodaNoel,

You are probably using a language pack. If so, this and other language pack related issues will be addressed in the final update to the last AOL sponsored Winamp release.

If you are not using a language pack, then you have not provided any details that would allow anyone to even start trying to determine the problem. There is a sticky on how to write a useful bug report.

Yes. I'm using a languaje pack. Is the Spanish pack. (winamp-es-us)

DrO: If you're at patching at the moment, just a small thing: On XP (didn't test on 7) in the whatsnew.txt dialog, when selecting a specific version from the dropdown, in the textbox after the last character a small square is displayed (probably a left-over 0x0D from 0x0D 0x0A, which Windows STILL cannot interpret as a line break but instead makes a square if it's not a complete 0D 0A).

But LOWEST PRIORITY!
The "Right-click enqueue selected from playlists" thing is the more important thing to cover in the patched build, I think

Thanks anyway!
