Put ALL Winamp 5.0 Beta Bugs in Here!

[GreyWolfe]

Hows this for a bug: install winamp, run it, window pops up for half a second then process dies completely.

I cant get it to run at all. Not in compatibility mode, not opening it different ways, nothing.

sys specs: Amd 1800xp, winxp pro, audigy, 764mb ram

Yes, i'm running beta 2. I'm not sure if what i described was what you were thinking though. Try this:

1) Load up a classic skin (probably same on modern, didn't try)
2) Move the mouse over any part that changes the cursor, such as the title bar.
3) Right click while the cursor is like that, and the cursor keeps the resize icon until the popup is closed.

It's nothing big, hell, its not even annoying.

I was testing it on Modern.

I see it now on Classic.

I will report it.

Thanx

my bug is : (in winamp 2.95 & 5.0)

the key control c,x,z work when the main window is focused, when the playlist is focused but not when the library is focused.

bye

[Cimmo]

It isn't a serious bug, but annoying bug. When you switch in media library from one playlist to another the song's list is showned from the first song also if in a previous time you have selected the last song.
It's annoying because if someone has long playlists everytime he switch from one playlist to another he has to scroll the playlist again.

guarda dato che ci sono te lo dico in italiano (sono di Assisi)

quando è focalizzato il media library nn riesco ad usare i tasti

per controllare la riproduzione, xchè?

(lo stesso bug c'è dalla ver 2.9 penso, 2.95 testata)

I dunno if this is a bug or a config problem, but I'm reporting here just to be safe.

Basically, if Winamp 5 is closed while it is minimized (taskbar or system tray, doesn't matter which), then re-opened, only the playlist will show up when it starts again. Main window and equalizer comes up when the taskbar button or systray icon is clicked once. Skins don't matter - classic or modern, the playlist is the only window that pops up. Nothing major, just something strange I noticed.

Whoops, forgot to say that the WA5 build was beta 2, and OS is WinXP Home SP1.

(BTW, why is there a time limit for editings message? Sometimes people realize more than three hours after they post that they forgot something, you know. Killing the time limit, or at least extending it would avoid things like this post happening.)

Guarda io parlavo di un altro bug nel media library non del tuo, comunque anche il tuo lo e', spero lo metteranno a posto.

P4 2.6 HT, 512MB
OS: Win XP Pro
Sound Card: Sound Blaster Exitgy
Speakers: Creative Megaworks 6.1

Im a newbie to this forum and forgive me if this has been addressed already. For some reason whenever i run Winamp 5 Beta 2, my center and rear speakers dont play any sound at all, but just my front left and right speakers and the sub play. It did work with Winamp 2 when i had CMSS runing on my extigy.

[Supernatural]

Title formatting isn't working under the MPEG audio decoder settings.

[DJ Egg]

@Supernatural
Prefs -> Titles -> Advanced Title Formatting overrides input plugin settings

@Maluthug
TSGH -> Multiple Speaker Output

@Cimmo & Cianca
Unimplemented features aren't bugs.

[Cianca]

excuse me but when i go in Menu -> Nullsoft Winamp -> Keyboard Shortcuts

the key for control the playback c,x,z ... this is a feature


when the main window or the playlist is focused this feature work correctly but when the library is focused .... this feature don't work (or are the drugs that don't work????)

.... this is a bug :^)

bye great man

Winamp beta 2
Windows XP, PIII-M 512 MB RAM

Bug with Winamp and Shoutcast plugin. When the shoutcast plugin is installed it seems to pop up randomly on startup, and othertimes does not even when DSP plugin's are set to none.

[DJ Egg]

@Cianca
No, look again at the Keyboard Shortcuts in the About Box.
Does it list those hotkeys in the "global" section at the top? No.
They are only listed under main & playlist.

@Avalon
The current Shoutcast DSP is designed/optimized for Winamp 2.x.
It will be updated when 5.0 Final is released.
Optionally, Shoutcast broadcasters should stick with using 2.x for now.

In my case it's very difficult saying if is it a bug or a non-implemented feature.
None have sayed that the program have to not remember the position...why not?
Anyway if you want to correct/implement I'll be very happy

Nice little bug i discovered today, which had previously not happened.

Turned on WA5, and it began its scanning of media folders for changes cycle. Instantly, page file jumped 900mb, and Winamp gobbled up 490mb of ram. At which point, XP reports it to have crashed, and kills the process for me

turned off cycle on start, and it stopped. did a background media scan using library button, and it did the same again.

Has occured about 6 times now when using WA5, does NOT occur using 2.91 using identical folders in its media library. Media library is about 300 hours of oggs/mp3s and has a few anime videos in it. Spread across 2 hard drives, non networked.

Has this happened to anyone else

Yea happened here to.

WinXP SP1 DX9.0b
AMD XP +2500
1800, mp3's (7.91 GBs)
Seems to hapen with backround scans, or with scan on start up feature. Adding the folder the old fasioned way works fine.

[bored154]

in winamp 5.0 beta 2 it just stopped letting me click the titles in the playlist, it wont highlight... i cant right-click and remove something from the playlist it only comes up with the menu you would get when you click on the top left icon.

system specs about 600 MHz, Sound card: ESS audio drive, video card: 3D prophet 4000XT, compaq deskpro

I just tested the new crossfader option in winamp 5. I used wildrose-wally's Fusion skin for winamp3. at the first look I was impressed, with the crossfade slider of the skin I was able to set the fading duration, but then I had a closer look...

1) it changes the settings in PP out_ds.dll, which is ok...
BUT it only changes the fadeout time "on end" of the song, not "fade on start" of the next song.
best to hear if after a calm song a metal song starts, the calm song seems to be cut. Better would be to automatically enable some seconds "fade on start too". Disadvantage: by pressing next the next song fades in

Opinions? Should it be changed?

2) The problem with the crossfading slider (see fusion skin!): if you set it to full fadetime (pulling the crossfading slider to the right side), it automatically sets the buffers in out_ds to extra high values (that does the plugin actually!), but if you decrease the fadetime, the buffers stay high (and vis will delay for 20 seconds!).
If you set the slider to the left side, fadetime "on end of track" will be set to 0 in the plugin and disabled crossfading completetly. If you change the skin and turn crossfading on, it will not work because (although enabled) because the value is set to zero.

Possible solutions for problem 2):

a) disable crossfading slider in skins.

or

b) hand over "known good" crossfading settings AND TIMES (!) to the plugin every time one hits the crossfading button
and hand over recommended buffer settings to the plugin when crossfading is turned off with the button and maybe set the crossfading slider in it's default (Known good middle-) position in the SKIN.

Maybe these problems could be reported.

i'm thinking this might be the cpu spike i'm seeing as well. does the cpu spike to somewhere in the range of 60-100% during this period?

It stays at 100% and locks my system up until i End Process it. I deleted the Main.dat from the folder, which looks to be the media library database, and rebuilding it, think its a corruption in the file that winamp just doesnt like

will see how it goes

Update: Winamp 5 is now 1.4gb in page file. I added my main mp3 dir to the media library, it did this, and now system is basically sluggish, as windows will not recover the virtual memory, until i kill the process.

As you can see, winamp is doing oddd things

Update2: I decided to do a manual rescan with task manager open to see when the page jump happened, it occured on a file called Star Trek II (Expanded) -17- Battle In The Mutara Nebula.mp3, which plays normal, and is the same format as the rest of the mp3s in that directory. Will upload onto the web, see what the problem is. But its odd

Update 3: After systematically adding each directory, one by one, and comparing the Task Manager performance as it scanned, and checked each file. I discovered that the file above, and the next files along from that cause winamp to shit itself in the initial scanning phase. It doesnt make it to the checking phase, and can only be stopped with End Process. Although this is when it is a manual rescan, it made it through when added to the media library and its scan.

the file it hangs on is here http://sucess.faereal.net/sebstuff/S...rikes Back.mp3


As you can probably imagine, i am deleting those files now :P

Background scans do take a bloody long time dont they, is there any way of speeding them up?

[meyergru]

Hi,


I like the new Winamp 5, truly.

But I think that the way missing ID3 tags are handled is not quite right (as in many other MP3 players).

What I mean is the new feature to replace missing tags by a guess from the file's pathname. This does not always work correctly, especially when most tags are complete. I, e.g., have many files with no album tag, but this does not mean that the folder name can be replaced for it. "No album" just means "no album" in my case, since all my tags are correct.

In short: the feature is not all bad, but should be made optional. I don't quite understand that this is not the case anyway, since the "grade" for this heuristic can be selected.

While we are at it: there should be preferences for the order and activation of ID3 tag reading, e.g. ID3V1, ID3V2 and this new "pathname parsing". Many competitors have weaknesses here, as well. MyMP3Pro for example reads ID3V1 before ID3V2 and there is no way you can change that.

Any news on my last bug bug report?

I didn't see a confirmation of anyone reproducing or reporting it. As I said before, it only happens if "Use advanced title formatting when possible" is turned on. I'm really not sure what the issue is... either it's not falling back to old title formatting when it's not possible, or it should be possible and it's failing somewhere..

I can send someone a few of my mod files in case it's specific to all the mods I have. :P

POSSIBLE BUG WITH THE AVS OR JUST MILKDROP PLUGINS. WHEN EVER I HAVE MILKDROP RUNNING AND I CLICK FOR AN EXAMPLE A APPLICATION TO MAXIMISE HIDING WINAMP5 THE WHOLE COMPUTER CRASHES, ALTHOUGH I STILL HEAR MUSIC EVERY THING ELSE IS DEAD. IT COULD BE THAT I GOT A WINAMP3 SKIN AND WINAMP2 PLUGINS OR I GOT MY PRORITY TOO HIGH FOR THE VIS.
HERE ARE THE LIST OF SPECS

Thanks, that fixed the problem.

[Avalon]

hey again, love winamp5 but seems like I have a slight of an audio problem with it. Winamp5 plays my music files Significanltly lower than any other program (even winamp 2.91). At least a good 10 db. I was wondering if it was an issues with winamp 5 and my soundcard which happens to be the Creative Sound Blaster Extigy which is a USB soundcard. Tell me if if it's just me or winamp. Oh using Windows Xp and a pIII - 1ghz with 512 mb of ram.

Oh and DJ Egg, thanks for the help before.

if you have a freeform skin where the secondary windows (i.e. a thinger window) has a BUTTON that triggers the scale/opacity menu, the opacity menu shows the setting for the main window as checked

Winamp uses wrong browser when clicking get info

System: Winamp 5.0 beta2 10/23/03.
Windows XP SP1, Mozilla Firebird 0.7 set as default browser

When I am at the medialibrary and click on the "get info" button about a song (to show discography etc.) Internet Explorer (IE) opens. I would expect that my Mozilla Firebird would open.

Winamp Uses IE not matter what.

Since all systems have Internet explorer installed.

There is currently no way of letting the user pick which browser engine to use.

I have an MMD3 bug to report. When you open the side drawers the half of the skin gets cut off.

My system specs.
WinXP pro sp1, Winamp5 beta 2, 1280x1024 screen res, ATI Radeon 7500

[edit]
I was also playing with the scaling when it happend, restarting winamp seemed to help.

Also it would be nice to have (at least the option) to have all the windows scale linked.

[ssj4_android]

I'm not sure if this was already posted, so I'll post it again. Winamp5 tried to open the last file open or something. The problem is, if it's a stream, and error windows pops up and says "cannot find file http://...". Right now, I have a peercast thing as my last file. Winamp5 will show up, but then it will just freeze. It also starts using up almost all of my CPU.

[edit] inserted by DJ Egg -> crossposted & dealt with here [/edit]

[ssj4_android]

Whoops

[dlichterman]

Well i seem to have hit doubblesize while using MMD3....and half the skin is cut off.
I have
-Reinstalled Skin
-Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled
-Reinstalled WA5(no uninstall)
---after removing winamp5 and reinstalling it worked---
I dont know what happened but maybe you guys do!

Report the MMD3 bug to the author, when winamp 5 is done.

it won't help much here.

hi there

I have the chance to test differents keyboard ( with or whithout cord) and winamp 5 make somme different trouble. Yes i know it's a beta but i say it...

via the Microsoft keyboard it's not as easy as the logitech keyboard, so we must wait ..about the keyboard Logitech

in players.ini for winamp 2, you can add
WinAmp=key,winamp.exe,Winamp v1.x,xxx,xxx,X,C,V,Z,B,0,1,WinAmp

for winamp 5 :
WinAmp5=key,winamp.exe,STUDIO,xxx,xxx,X,C,V,Z,B,0,1,WinAmp 5

authorize to launch Winamp but not to control it ...
perhaps you have an explaination ?

[RaveN-FH-]

what doesn't work with the microsoft keyboard? i'm using a wireless natural multimedia keyboard and all the buttons i have set work: play, pause, forward, back, and my media key set to open winamp.

[WhiteRayven]

I think he just told you:

[sebreid]

the buttons on a Logitech Wireless Itouch work fine
