JTFE Development Thread

The purpose of this thread is to track, follow and report any issues/suggestions/other random things regarding the JTFE plug-in. Due to certain machine issues, the builds in this thread are based partly on the older 0.96e2 build of the plug-in but also include a large amount of new code so testing out both the old and new features is essential!


::Useful Links::JTFE Development Log
(lists changes for all and any builds from the initial re-release build)
Known Issues with the plug-in
(due to the rebuild and new features, somethings will be broken so before posting about a bug please read here first!)


::Current Build::v1.33 (Build 1216) [Distro Build for 5.666 Build 3516+ only]
Release Notes: 16/12/2013
(each build is in a differently named installer so you can easily revert back to any older build if you want to do so otherwise known as DrO messed up the build again)


When reporting any bugs, please try to be concise as possible with the error reports since if i can't follow/understand what you're doing then i can't properly try to re-create and then fix the issue if it does exist (help me to help you as they say ).


::Reporting Issues::When reporting issues please list the exact method you did to create and reproduce the issue, your OS (it matters at times!), other relevant system specs, Winamp version, any extra plugins that you may have installed (this matters since my own plug-ins can conflict so you can understand what that means for others! (*), and your bank details...

* - you can install and use the One for Nunz plug-in to create a easy to read text listing of all installed plug-ins, so please attach this as needed since it's a single click to create it now

The silence is killing me. Somebody say something, pleeeease!

[siebe83]

Heh, yeah... I was trying to figure out something...

Did I ever say you rock, Darren? Heh, I probably did, but it can't hurt to say it again
Looks really great, my playlist editor has never been this colourful before
Enqueue and Play from Windows Explorer


Noticed one thing up till now...
All tags in the playlist have been read, so all entries in the JTF dialog just look like Artist - Title. Now if I right-click a file in the JTF dialog > Move after current, the entry will suddenly be in the list with its filename instead. After moving another file after current the same way, that file will be displayed with its filename and the previous one will display properly.

Oh well, I now see this happened in 0.96ff as well so you probably already know about it. Whatever... I tried and I broke the silence

[DrO]

the move after current thing is just how Winamp works in that you can't add an entry into a given position with the extra information about the file like title, artist, etc updated in the view on adding (unless i've missed something in the last 2 years )

you may also want to test out the loading into the jtfe queue that you were having those relative path issues with (i think i've fixed m3u handling, just pls left to go)

-daz

[siebe83]

From a quick test it seems to handle relative paths fine now
Will mess around with it more tomorrow to see if I can break things

From the JTFE 0.97 R Changelog

Implemented the 'Classic Skin Winshade' api into the plugin (cos it's damn shexy!)

If this means users can click a button to send the JTFE dialog to Windowshade mode, I can't see it. Although I may be sight-impaired , I do not see a button to the left of the close button in the dialog, nor do I see a click command to invoke this as such.

Would you mind clarifying, Darren? Great work on the rebuild, I'll let you know if anything breaks

The above issue with Winshade was due to a conflicting third-party plugin. See below. Be sure to read, DrO!

ALL OF THE BELOW BUGS WERE FOUND ON A CLEAN INSTALL OF WINAMP 5.092

[EDIT]

It appears as though the JTFE dialog text formatting is broken, kind of...

The separator character, or whatever you like to call it, default is ^ I believe, doesn't appear. All I get is the other strings... the default "%S - [%N%M]" DOES appear.

[/EDIT]

[EDIT2]

Also, some of the file extensions appear, while others do not, in the dialog. All of the files in the current playlist are mp3 files; for example:

Maroon5 - Harder to Breathe
Maroon5 - Must Get Out.mp3

[/EDIT2]

[EDIT3]

Menu handling doesn't work at all. "Add to queue" does nothing, while "Add to queue and play" sends Winamp to the next song, but nothing is done to the internal queue and nothing is visibly different from the dialog.

[/EDIT3]

[EDIT4]

@billy

I can't reproduce as you have detailed below. I only get one window, regardless of which window is in focus. Which skin are you using, WA Classic, Modern, or a third party of which type?

Winamp does get tripped out though, and it seems redraws the entire skin, although this only occurs in a span of a few milliseconds.

[/EDIT4]

[billyvnilly]

DrO, It seems alot faster, and when you drag the jtfe box it looks smoother..at least to me..its smmmoooooth.


Bu, i gotta bitch like a lady now...I can still get 2 boxes for jtfe. Can reproduce if mainwindow is selected and hit "j" works correctly if pledit is selected.

Two questions...[list=a][*] Are you using a classic skin[*]Do you have "Skin 'Jump to file' using the current Winamp Style" enabled?
JTFE options > Display tab > Misc Options box[/list=a]

[jmatthews112]

@JM

Yes I am using a classic skin, and was skinning JTFE. I was using the Ripple Skin, 2.9X and 5.X ready, with GEN.BMP, but could not see the button. I reverted back to the WA Classic Skin, and still could not see it. I even closed Winamp with the classic skin open (Reload JTFE when WA starts is not checked), but to no avail.

On looking at another, clean, install, the WA classic skin, and JTFE skinning enabled, the button appears.

o_O but WHY ... lol ... would this mean a third-party plugin is messing with it in my main install?

More edits above, and below

[EDIT]

JM and DrO, on my main install (with third-parties) I removed the entire section of settings from winamp.ini while WA was closed, but it didn't help.

[/edit]

[JonnyMac]

It looks like one of the third party plug-ins is interfering with JTFE's Classic Skin Winshade button.

[jmatthews112]

Ok, I fixed the issue with the Winshade, and normally I wouldn't fret it, except that the interference comes from the Explorer Playlist plugin. The button now appears in my favorite third-party skin, as well as Classic. So there is a bug, Darren, not with JTFE, but with cross-handling with Explorer Playlist.

[OFF-TOPIC]

@JM,

Isn't it ironic that I'm having issues with third-parties when I tell people they aren't supported, everyday?

[shinobi]

It's fixed the whole "open two windows on 'j'" thing for me. But another thing..

Added in a new %st value for the playlist formatting so you get an idea when a track in the queue should start playing (still alphaish and appears to be out by the current output buffer sizes)

I tried to use that, and it said my enqueued file would start playing in 11:37:40. I know it's still alpha & all, and it's a neat idea (been looking for something like it for ages).

Can't wait for the next release of jtfe.

'Enqueue and Play' > "Insert enqueued file after the currently playing file"

Not a bug, but a quirk... What if there is a queue? The enqueued file won't play until after the last in the queue. Kind of defeats the purpose, unless I'm having issues, those that are often thrown at me when I think I have an issue or a bug .

[electricmime]

do you have a written down wishlist for jtfe(i don't want to bring up old suggestions if you are already planning to put them in)

btw, i like the media library function.. although its not exactly what i want, at least it allows me to easily queue up albums/artist(it would still be nice to do it from the playlist though)
