Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #18654 (March 24th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs) | Latest WACUP public preview is build #17040 (September 30th 2023) (x86 only)


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.

Been unable to test for a while due too personal circumstances, but finally could pick up where I left.

The installation of the WACUP runs like a charm. It's probably one of the most stable setups you can get, you've done an incredible job so far.
I did run into a few problems shortly after the installation. But I didnt make a topic on the Beta discussion because it didnt took me long to find out
those minor issues occured by other not-WACUP related stuff.

For instance: I didnt got my Shoutcast stream up and running anymore. It connected, did all you would except it to do. But whatever I tried, the
audio output kept akwardly silent. After a long puzzling adventure the problem came from new Shoutcast settings (the AAC codec must be selected
in the configuration of streamer application, and MP3 as codec. Last time I used it the AAC option wasnt even build. I use B.U.T.T. opensource
for streaming livecasts (Broadcast).

The second flaw occured at Milkdrop visualization. One of the plugins I use a lot so that didnt make my day at first. It just refused to start giving
some error message about video drivers on my system probably needed updating. But the Intel drivers were perfectly up to date, according to Intel.
I could open the configuration of Milkdrop, just not hitting the start button. I decided googling on it first for a while, and after some time it
found the solution for me. Some forum post suggested to turn of the Pixel Shading option in the second screen of configuration (see screenshot).
Ironic part is that this is one of the few option labeled with ''DO NOT TOUCH THIS'' ...

To make it more challenging I started adding plugins I used a lot, including very very old ones (late '90's as last edited for some). Most focussed
on even more options as it comes to handling the playlist. I am still adding more external plugins to see what happens. More details on that next time.

So far, with various external plugins running... it runs like an unbreakable diesel, I am impressed. Deeply.

I've added my support on Patreon. It would be an honor if my nickname and miniblog were embeded in the winamp preferences
