Embeded Album Art

[thinktink]

I installed version 1.2.2.17

...

That's an old version. What's the reason you're still using that version?

...

The link below should allow you to download an archive that contains a mp3 with an embedded 500 x 500 jpg image and a separate 600 x 600 jpg image file. I tried to replace the 500 x 500 image with the 600 x 600 image.

I was unable to replicate the issue with version 1.2.7.25 of the plugin. I didn't test with version 1.2.2.17. I tried directly replacing the album art without first deleting and tried deleting first and then adding the art. No issues, at least on my end.

Whoops, that's the front end dll version, not the w5s version, sorry, nevermind.

If you're still having issues please attach an info report:

I used the installer linked to in your signature. Info Report attached.

I used the installer linked to in your signature. How do I get v1.2.7.25 and/or the w5s?

If you recently downloaded it then you likely have the latest version, so as I said, nevermind. Just post an Info Tool Report. Only thing I can think of is another plugin getting in the way.

Hi thinktink,

I rebooted my computer and now your embedded album art plug-in is working. I don't know why rebooting changed things. I'm just glad it is working again.

Maybe it is the order in which the plug-ins are loaded. I don't think Winamp loads the plug-ins the same way each time it is started.

I just looked at your info report and confirmed that you're using the latest published versions of the w5s component and dll front end.

Just to confirm, is "Quinto Black CT" a cPro skin? I think it is but just want to confirm.

In theory with the way the Winamp API works (afaik) it shouldn't. "bpembededart.w5s" does not directly use any Windows system components let alone any that would be effected by a reboot, it's pure Winamp WASABI API and some SendMessages if I remember correctly.

...

Maybe it is the order in which the plug-ins are loaded. I don't think Winamp loads the plug-ins the same way each time it is started.

The order that Winamp system components are loaded DOES matter. If bpembededart.w5s is loaded before albumart.w5s then it can't "hook" it, at least not currently. If this is the case then I'll probably have to move everything to the front end dll.

"If bpembededart.w5s is loaded before albumart.w5s then it can't "hook" it", sounds like what probably happened the first time I tried using the plug-in. I do not know how to determine the loading order. If it stops working again, I'll try starting a new session to see if the plug-in starts working.

AFAIK, Quinto Black CT v3.6 is not a cPro skin. There are no cPro components installed with Winamp v5.9.1.10023.


Happy Holidays!

Version 1.3.9.32 now available.

Download

Changes:

• Added display of the core Winamp 5 System Component basic version string to the configuration pane. Unfortunately I didn't update the lang files but it won't crash if the new controls are missing from the language files.
• Added code to check for load/presence of the actual albumArtAPI component and if fails to find it then it assumes that it's not loaded yet and posts a message to itself to check again later.
• Fixed the version string returned by api_bogprogembededart::Version to always return the current version string in the file's version information header instead of a hardcoded value. Whoops.

Installer changes:

• Installer no longer kills all Winamp instances, just the ones targeted.

Merry Christmas!

Are you sure you updated the download link for v1.3.9.32? The link still downloads BogProgEmbeddedArt1_2_7_25Setup.zip

Worked for me last night. Try clearing your cache of the site. If that doesn't work then go directly to this link here.

The link in post #234 still points to the previous version for me. The link in post #236 provides assess to the current version.

It works great. Thank you for the early Christmas present.

Try now, I just updated the caching on the download page. The link IS to the new version, I just didn't delete the old one off the server.

Hi thinktink,

The download link in post #234 and the link in your signature both now point to the latest version.
