Preview Build Discussion / Re: [MORE CHANGES MADE] CD related feedback
« Last post by NotTheActualSean on October 07, 2026, 06:00:40 PM »The patch fixed the issue with the first track not playing, thank you!
I noticed earlier that I started WACUP to the CD view and it was showing fewer tracks than were on the disc, so it's probably getting the track count wrong in that situation for some reason and the phantom tracks are just garbage data if it's more than reality.

« Last post by dro on October 07, 2026, 11:25:07 AM »I think I've got it fixed for the next build. There's something odd about the drone skin vs lyricsplugin which is affecting the normal timing of things happening (based on what the other skins are doing whilst debugging this) that causes the bitmap used as part of the drawing of the main playlist window to not be available during the initial drawing.
That causes it to end up in a weird state where the drawing mostly works but the colours basically doesn't as it falls back to working with a default monochrome bitmap that the OS creates for the drawing surface. So that's why no selection is showing up or even the expected colours from what I was seeing & it comes down to a 1 line fix to filter out the painting when in that invalid state which at least for what I'm seeing under testing is now getting it to load correctly with the plug-in.

« Last post by dro on October 07, 2026, 08:25:32 AM »The portable install mode won't load 3rd party plug-ins by default as a lot of them aren't going to be truly portable (lyricsplugin is one of those by using the registry from what I remember). If you go to Preferences -> Advanced -> Portable Mode -> there's an option to allow 3rd party plug-ins to be loaded in portable mode for those happy with things no longer being guaranteed to be portable.
lyricsplugin is also throwing an expired site certificate everytime it loads which is annoying (not the first time the plug-in &/or it's site have gone weird in the time I've been doing wacup & was why I needed to make my own even if it's not feature comparable to what want as it avoids the whole embedded IE browser webcontrol mess that lyricsplugin relies upon to still work for now).
I can replicate it breaking things when the drone skin is the one set to be loaded on start-up & lyricsplugin is enabled. If I start with a different skin or change from drone to any other skin I've got to test with & then back to it in the same instance it then behaves. Though why if it's the one that's been loaded & trying to reload it without changing to another skin doesn't update things is also weird which I'll try to look into hopefully later today.

« Last post by Eagleheart on October 06, 2026, 11:50:36 PM »Okay, I've tracked it down! The issue only appears if you have gen_lyricsplugin.dll active when winamp loads. If you enable the plugin after winamp is already running, the plugin works fine without the issue showing up.
I've noticed this plugin can't even be enabled in the portable version for some reason.
I've attached it, if it's useful. Rather weird that it requires both this plugin AND a change from between 24960 and 25130...
[edit - dro]
attachment removed - the installer / site for the plug-in is still available to get it from though the site certificate expired earlier this year which likely isn't helping with the loading of the plug-in.

« Last post by Eagleheart on October 06, 2026, 11:06:37 PM »The issue does not reproduce on the portable install. Hmm.
I checked all of the Appearance, Modern Skins, and Drone settings and they all match up. I wonder if a fresh install where I just copy over all my settings will have an issue...
