Winamp 5.9.1 Released

[Ivan75]

I managed to fix the context menu issue once again, this proves Winamp is anything but stable, we see it for years and it's been ignored for some reason.

Here is the fix:
If everything in Windows ''Default apps'' and Winamp Options > Shell Options is set right and the file context menu is still not present, try right-clicking the file (you need to do this same thing for EVERY file type you want the Winamp context menu to be showed) > properties > opens with > select the program the context menu was showing (it was Cyber Link for me this time) > apply < OK. Then revert this by clicking ''properties'' once again and selecting Winamp from the ''opens with'' list. Everything should work now.
One more thing, what may happen is your file type icon is now changed. This is fixed in exactly the same way shown above. Really annoying but also fixable.
It's all fairly simple and works every time for me but it's really frustrating having to do this every single time you update Winamp.
Besides, on every Winamp update, I never know which program will be shown in the file context menu, so it's clearly a Windows 10 issue also.

It doesn't prove anything of the sort and now you, with your total of 2 posts, have saved the day, eh?

Hey Egg, something isn't right about this patch. It gives the following error and then aborts on "ok." I have 5.9.1.10029 and the patch will not run.

Oops, my bad. Try again :-)

Winamp_Update_Pack_v5.9.1b gives same error

In such cases, a new version will appear in other players. the user does not need to install a separate language, because it contains the basic languages (minimum EU languages), and he does not need to install a file package either, because the icon shows what type of file it is.
These are the things that bother me most about this player.

Where can I find them (if they are really needed) ?

Thanks

How did you install the latest version?
clean or update on an older version?

the now playing2.dll looks like an old one that is not included in the lastest Winamp version.

[tistou77]

I installed the new version (and added the gen_jumpex plugin) and when I reinstalled Windows, I just backed up the Winamp directory (no new installation)

[tistou77]

And I retested on a fresh install of Windows, new installation of Winamp and same error in this file
