Winamp 5.572 Released (5.57 Revised, Build 2830)

[Koopa]

Kn0tte:

Your bugs are listed internal, there is, as I already pointed out several times ago, no need to bump them again and again or add them to the known bugs thread.

I also said, that there a a couple of more known bugs, which are not all listed in the sticky thread.

Also I said several times, that Winamp dev resources are limited and that the bug will be fixed, when there is time for it.

[Kn0tte]

Ok ok, but I dont even know if you can reproduce the first one and therefore dont know if its listed in the internal bug tracker.. :/

Anyway, the other thing about the spectrum analyzer option? Is there a reason why "Analyzer coloring" isn't there for the Winamp Modern skin?

Winamp Modern lacks support for some RGB stuff, don't ask me, what it was called exactly. Martin can tell you more.

Unless Winamp Modern Skin gets an huge update, which brings support for it, coloring won't work.

[Kn0tte]

RGB -> red green blue .. /RGB monitor or something? Dont laugh if thats wrong, its just what I think atm! :P

And why doesn't Winamp Modern have that when all the other skins have it? Is really a huge change/update needed to add support for this? The answer is probably yes since it wasn't done in 5.55 when the rest of the options were added but still.. I'm allowed to ask..

[Koopa]

Well it isn't that simple and has nothing to do with Red, Green, Blue.

Winamp Modern Skin wasn't designed to use it. Don't forget, that these new vis options were added later:

Winamp 5.2:
* Improved: [gen_ff] new vis modes available to skinners

So that stuff was newer, than modern skin was. This is why it hadn't such vis options.

And I doubt, that all other freeform skins support it. I guess only a few do it.

DrO,

With this new version, Winamp closes abruptly whenever it progresses to a separator entry from your Playlist Separator 2.1.8 plugin.

EDIT: Just confirmed that it also occurs with your latest Playlist Separator 2.5

Re: Winamp installation problem?

Now can someone fix that? On my Win7 machine i cannot install any version of Winamp, because Sonic Runtime cannot be properly installed...

Look:

Tried 5.571.2810 already, all the same...

Hmm, at a guess, it's one of the following to blame:

1. We need an updated Sonic Engine from Sonic Solutions (they haven't provided one).

2. The CD/DVD-RW drive is incompatible with the Sonic Engine

3. Some concurrently running process is interfering, either:
a) Some other app which manages CD drives or maybe even also uses the Sonic Engine (eg. Adaptec Easy CD Creator,
Sonic RecordNow or MyDVD, MS Digital Photo Suite, etc) - make sure these are closed before installing Winamp, including any system tray icons... or
b) Some security app is preventing the Sonic drivers from being installed.

4. Or more than likely, for some strange reason, the internal Sonic installer isn't being run in admin mode,
in which case, see below...

Other than that, Sonic installs fine on other peoples' Win7 machines,
so it can only be something system-specific causing it.

You could try manually extracting the Sonic installer from inside the Winamp installer, eg. by using 7Zip (v9.09b), and then running it afterwards...
1. Open the Winamp installer in 7Zip
2. Double-click the [0] folder in the zip
3. Then extract all files in the $PLUGINSDIR subfolder to some new folder on your HD
4. In said folder, right-click pxsetup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
5. Hopefully, the Sonic engine will now install properly.



Note: If you click OK on the dialog in your screenshot, then Winamp will still install correctly, and everything should still work except for CD burning (ripping will still work if using Windows native SPTI instead, though you might need to uncheck 'Use Sonic' in CD Ripping settings first).

Thanks. I bought shortly really a new DVDRW Burner.

The model is LG (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22LS50). Now i wanna know, if it is compatible with that. Can you tell me.

Besides: I have Nero 8 and AnyDVD installed, my security suite is from Microsoft (Microsoft Security Essentials)

Nero 8 is not completely installed.

Issue with the 5.571 Update Pack Koopa.
It gets to gen_milk2.dll and gives an error: "Installer corrupted: invalid opcode"

[Koopa]

osmosis: Cannot reproduce, working fine here.

Maybe something went wrong in download, re-download the file again.

And it's vis_milk2.dll not gen_milk2.dll

I've verified the installer script again and all is looking ok.

I have a problem that just started with the most recent, most recent update. Build 2810. This problem did not happen with the previous builds of 5.57 Public Beta (build 2765) or 5.57 Final (build 2789) or Revised - Build 2792
When I choose the simple albums smartview, it just goes blank sometimes. And I am not sure when it does or doesnt happen.
And when I am able to make the simple album appear, when you drag the pane up from the bottom, the screen will flicker on and off. I know its hard to explain or imagine, so I made a video... I hope this works

It only happens on that specific preset. Any comments or ideas?

[MrSinatra]

cool video. how do you do that?

any chance its your video driver?
