Winamp 5.623 Released

[DrO]

did ur fixes for accurate ML bitrate and filelength reporting make it in?

it should have as i committed the changes and i wasn't aware of an older version of the plug-in's code having been compiled for the release. you have re-scanned the files just in case? also weren't there some that still exhibited the issue from the test build or am i just confusing myself? either way i don't have the time to look into it for the time being as it looks like i keep killing SHOUTcast with all of my updates of late

NOTE to the developers: I noticed that the "Winamp Detection Plugins" (don't know the exact English term as I used the installer in German) are checked in the installer ALWAYS, regardless of whether they have been checked before. I don't want them, neither for Firefox nor for Internet Explorer! I also saw that the unchecking of this options is correctly written to the "install.ini" in Winamp's directory, but somehow, it is not read by the next installer...

One of the next installers should be fixed regarding that issue, I think...

it's been like that for a number of releases and as annoying as that is, that's how the installer has been told to work i.e. that it will ignore that option (is why unchecking it with everthing else still checked changes the install type from 'custom' to 'full').

I'm very happy to report the Playlist Sidecar for Modern Skin v1.3 works fine with Winamp 5.622, Build 3189 (5.6.2.3189) too.

that's good for you - as covered in prior posts, it most likely will work ok (since there's not been any modern skin changes for a while now) but you're on your own with trying to use it.

you're doing quality SC work. its very appreciated by most using it, i assure you.

i haven't done a proper clear and rescan to test it, but otherwise i think its in there. however, yes you are correct that some of my files, all under 15 seconds long i think, do still misreport as 257 in the ML, so keep it on the to do list. thx.

i know in_mp3 got a lot of fixes, like yours, and tag fixes and so on, but the mpeg decoder still lists as 4.97

is that correct?

[DrO]

for anyone missing the queue position indicator in the playlist, i have released v1.2.5 (build 1160) which should resolve the issue with the queue position not appearing (sorry about that).

MrSinatra: not sure on what the version number should be as i know a few plug-ins which had changes didn't see it reflected with the 3188 build but thought it had been covered for 3189 (though cannot check what it should be at the moment).

i have 3189. i am assuming the fixes i am thinking of were actually made in "in_mp3" (but i can't say for sure as i don't code, just educated guessing) and i think its been at 4.97 for at least a couple versions now. to be clear, i think the fixes are in there, somewhere, i'm just wondering if the version number uptick housecleaning needs done?

5.622 is VERY good tho. so many bugs and issues in the "core" app that have been bothering me have been resolved in the last year or so. the less i have to use other apps, the better!

In Windows 7 I no longer have the pause/play/stop buttons available in the preview window that appears when you hover over winamp in the task bar.

Is there some setting I've missed?

[MrSinatra]

its flaky. quit winamp and restart it, or reboot the macine, they should come back.

Or, you can try special plugin that offer much more:

Winamp 5.623 Released

First post has been updated accordingly.

Note that this is a forum exclusive (main site update on Monday 12th Dec).
Though all builds in all flavors & languages are up on the server, if you know the filenames...

Early Xmas present :-)

[MrSinatra]

sweet, using it right now... nice list of fixes too.

in_mp3 now 4.98 too, so i guess DrOs fixes are in there.

[DrO]

my in_mp3 changes were in the 5.622 release afaik and seems to be from checking with other people (there was no holding back of in_mp3 updates in the 5.622 release).

so i'm not quite sure what you're referring to by the above since we knew it wasn't a 100% solution at the time but resolved most of the length calculation quirks seen from the provided example files.

right right, i was just noting that the ver number hadn't increased, so now its "official" it seems. anyway, new version humming along nicely.

Winamp new version is good.

I just upgraded. To be sure, how do I check my current version of Winamp?

Right-click -> Nullsoft Winamp... should bring up the About window. Alternately you can check the version in the Details of winamp.exe
