Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #21254 (March 29th 2025) (x86 & x64 changelogs)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Is this a known issue that if to unpause an online radio stream after a few minutes it makes WACUP skip to next entry in the playlist after playing 2-3 seconds of the current entry?
And if the stream was paused for a long period, it cannot unpause at all? Forcing me to whack various buttons in WACUP until it starts playing again.

And - I think this is a separate issue with the engine - that sometimes it doesn't skip to next, but skips multiple?

Which build type of wacup & version of it are you using? Also is it an MP3 or AAC based stream or something else? Though imho pausing streams is never going to work right as there's a limit on how much steam data is able to be buffered before the limit is reached or connections get closed from being unresponsive.

It's Preview  v1.99.27.21136 (x86). I know this happens with AAC, but I haven't used MP3 streams in long though.

But could WACUP then be reprogrammed to not pause, but to stop and then start playback in case of online radios?
