Winamp 5.9 Final Released

[zumer]

there is a solution for vc90crt. Edit manifest in winamp.exe resources

Hey DJ Egg, have you tried my suggestion? This allows you to load any plugin that uses vc90.crt

Yes. I just tried it now... and... well, knock me down with a feather... it worked!!!!!

The crazy thing is... the Microsoft.VC90.CRT section was already in the manifest for Winamp 5.6-5.8
but somehow got removed. D'oh!

I just added this part back, and now those plugins all load again!

<dependency>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.VC90.CRT" version="9.0.30729.6161" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b">

Visual studio 2015-2022 does not write to the Microsoft.VC90.CRT section manifest. This is exactly what caused the problem.

I was able to get Thimeo's Declipper (dsp_perfect_declipper.dll) to load and also gen_lyricsplugin.dll, both in Quinto, but I haven't been able to get the classic album art viewer posted above to load in Quinto. However, if the vc90.crt hack above works and you're able to post it, then Darren's Classic Art and Waveform Seeker should (hypothetically) work, yes?

[DJ Egg]

I've not got the Quinto skin installed, and probably should, but did you try loading a Classic skin, then checkmark "Album Art" in the main menu, then right-click in the Album Art window and uncheck "Auto-Hide with modern skins". Now load your modern/freeform skin and "Album Art" should be in the main menu.

It works for Bento & Winamp Modern.... which is weird seeing as Winamp Modern already comes with an Album Art component, so now there's two "Album Art" items in the menu.

Though yes, with the above manifest fix, the old plugins will work again with the next build (whether that's RC2 or 5.9 Final).

Darren's Classic Art v1.1 will work, but the winamp version must be disabled in gen_classicart.dll . Solved by replacing 1 byte in WinHex

Zumer and DJ Egg, worked here for me, everything is working and all plugins are being loaded.

v1.1?

Oops, the version in our repo is v0.5, so I just bumped it to 0.6.
But if there's a newer version out there, then we don't have the source code.

gen_classicart is also part of the Winamp SDK
and therefore v0.6 will be included in the Winamp 5.9 SDK, if & when we release it.

[zumer]

I have a version of Darren's Classic Art v1.1 that I modified for Winamp 5.9, if interested, I can post the solution. Say yes or no because it might be illegal. Only DJ Egg can give permission.

[Mikey7]

Ok - without having to hack anything (which I don't really know how and where to do), I got Album Art working with DJ Egg's suggestion, running it first in the Classic Skin (which I've done before - not sure why I didn't think of that) and also got NXS Big Clock working, all in Quinto. Add to that, Thimeo's Declipper and gen_lyricsplugin.dll. That's the one that will go out and get the lyrics, even on Shoutcast streams.

If someone cares to publish a blow-by-blow of how to get the vc90.crt hack working for Darren's plug-ins, that would be awesome.

Thanks!

I can't speak for others but sure, I wouldn't mind. I'd love to get the waveform seeker working as well. With that, even though I have DJ Egg's album art working and I don't actually require Darren's updated version, waveform seeker would be awesome. Right now, minus waveform seeker, I have Quinto back up to snuff as I had it working in 5.666.

The icons are still not back. I tried to install the icon pack and it didn't work.

Alright nice one!!

Also, if anyone cares to try, you can copy all of the Milkdrop 2 presets and textures from that alternative version of Winamp into Winamp 5.9 and they all appear to work without issue, even the ones in the directory marked "_broken_maybe." In ...\Program Files(x86)\Winamp\Plugins\Milkdrop2\, rename "presets" and "textures" to something like OLDpresets and OLDtextures and then copy from ...\Users\(user)\AppData\Plugins\Milkdrop2\ of that alternate version of Winamp, the presets and textures directories and paste them into 5.9 directory where you renamed 5.9's presets and textures.

In the Milkdrop window, use "L" to list them. Navigate to the one you want to see and voila. I am running Winamp 5.9 on an 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz with Intel's onboard gpu, so that might help me as I'm able to easily run those marked as "require_fast_gpu" so user-mileage may vary.

Enjoy.
