5.8 Beta Bugs Thread

[vkaku]

1. lame_enc.dll not Uninstalled during Installation.
2. pmp_activesync.dll shows as not loaded on Windows 10 (10.0.16299). Only an option to Uninstall is available.

[DJ Egg]

1. Fixed for next build. Thanks.

2. Requires MS ActiveSync to be installed.

[PeterK.]

Go to Skins tab and uncheck Prompt on install.
Close Winamp.
Start Winamp.
Open Preferences.
Prompt on install is checked again. (and I still see the message box "Are you sure that you want to install ...")

Switch skins during playing a video and Vid_Info will disappear from the statusbar of the Video window.

Been using WASAPI output plugin on Win7 since release, no problems with playback so far.

The only bug I've found so far is that every time i change songs manually/enqueue the WASAPI volume output resets back to something extremely quiet (close to 1%)

Really annoying.

Hi,

it seems there are some problems with the audio buffer while playing NSV streams:
The default settings for streaming at in_nsv.dll is
10000ms Buffer size
2000ms Prebuffer at start
3000ms Rebuffer on Underrun

This settings were working perfect in 5.666.
With 5.8 3660, you get stuttering sound most times if you start an NSV stream.
This can be solved by the user by setting Prebuffer to 3000ms,
but in 5.666 you can also set 1000ms or 500ms, it works always fine.

Also, if you change "Buffer size", you can never change it back to 10000 - The GUI only allows 4 digits

Hi,

Winamp 5.8 3660 beta doesn't seem to store correctly the last position of the main player window when using the Modern skin -- it always goes back to the top left of the screen. Classic skin behaves OK. Even when starting the program the first time, it'll align to the top left instead of screen center (5.6 behavior).

If 5.8 3660 inherits the position file on the roaming folder made with latest 5.6, it'll apply the previously stored position for the main window, but is then unable to store a new one (resetting to it instead of top left on a fresh install). I've posted some more info in this previous thread (link).

[Shark321]

I've also noticed that the window position is not stored with modern skins. Went back to 5.6, and it's fine again.

[Shark321]

I have also noticed that studio.xnf is stored as c:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\studio.xnf, which is a very bad idea in 2018. It should be in the users folder.

This is not quite correct. "Winamp Modern" and its Player Window in 5.8 seem to "suffer" from this oddity, my skin does not show this kind of behavior.

And the studio.xnf is there where it belongs: C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Winamp

I just had a really weird bug with Winamp 5.8 where it was only playing music out of my left speaker for some reason..

I did the windows sound test and I tried it with Spotify and Windows Media Player as well and I know it's still working fine, but whenever I try to play something on Winamp it only plays out of the left speaker.

[MrSinatra]

Winamp has it's own built in balance control.

[Saetiah]

I allowed Winamp to play 24bit files but it cannot do it and it crashes. This wasn't happening with the previous version.

I confirm this. It only seems related to the inbuilt "Winamp Modern" skin, it doesn't affect custom modern type skins. Also, it's using studio.xnf on the roaming folder and can successfully load previously created position info for that skin (made on 5.6); it just fails to store a new position for the player window.

[Hellgore]

After getting Winamp to work the way I want it, I rebooted my machine and since then WA crashes with the errormessage shown in the uploaded screenshot. Reinstallation was no use. I have win 10 pro.
Anyone experienced this, too?

[MrSinatra]

What skin r u using?

[Hellgore]

WMP11 Blu VU

interestingly - over night WA "self-repaired"
I left the "Assertion failed" window open and when I returned to my PC this morning, the WA Gui was there just as if nothing happened.

Strange bug

[MrSinatra]

Sounds like the skin has some weird kind of issue.

Whenever I start it up, I'm getting nothing but an error report message when trying to close out the add media to library option.

[BradyBunchFan]

Could the theme I'm using also have something to do with it?

[spenk018]

Winamp client version: 5.8 Build 3660
winamp caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module ntdll.dll at 0023:7755109e.

Exception handler called in Winamp.

Using the Bento skin. Win 10 64 bit.

It crashes (shuts down the program) when I have tried to rescan my library every time. I then just left it running a playlist and it crashed 40 odd minutes in. That time it generated the above message.

Anyone got any ideas?

.. >> doesn't seem to store correctly the last position of the main player
.. >> window when using the Modern skin

nor any other windows, visualisation, cover art, whatever. i size and set them nicely
onto the desktop, and the next time i start WINAMP they are all over, but not where
i had put them.

a real bother - i wish somebody could look into this - it worked fine with all earlier
versions, so a solution should not be too far away.

.. >> This is not quite correct. "Winamp Modern" and its Player Window in 5.8
.. >> seem to "suffer" from this oddity, my skin does not show this kind of behavior

but all the earlier comments did refer to ''Modern'' - so as such it is correct. but if it does
work on other skins, it shouldnt be too difficult to find out why it misbehaves with the
plain 'Modern' skin.

please, pretty please, somebody look into this. going back to 5.6 is not really the most
elegant solution.

I've just tried deleting the app, going through Regedit to delete all references to Winamp and then re-installed it. It crashes while trying to add files to the library (just closes itself - no error messages). I've tried it using the Classic skin but get the same result, although when I restarted it it started in the Classic skin, so it knew that had been changed. However, it still asks to add library location again. I even tried installing an older version over the top, but get the same results. Unfortunately it looks like this version is now unusable.

no answer on this?

[heinz57g]

moved this particular issue to its own thread - see there.

think it is important enough for many of us, and hope it gets due attention there.

I found two bugs @ win10

this new audio plugin nullsoft wasapi always mutes and goes to 0% in windows mixer, play /change song

and new search bar by playlist @ bigbento doesn't hide by fresh start if in compact mode. If I expand it and then shrink back to compact it stays that way until I quit.
