General Discussion / Lyrics window glitching

« on: March 02, 2022, 09:24:40 AM »

I've noticed sometimes something weird happening with the lyrics window where, instead of displaying the lyrics, it will show garbled text and even some names of files on my system, as if it's trying to convert the wrong section of my hard drive's data into ASCII text. In a couple cases, instead of the lyrics, it would display the text "DirectSound" or "Playlists" with an ellipsis at the opposite end of the window which, when clicked on, opened the folder for the song that was playing.
I know this isn't a problem with the lyric metadata on the files themselves, because I doubled checked the metadata, and because the lyrics (usually) go back to normal after restarting the program (or if that doesn't work, skipping the song and then going back)
It's not a particularly experience-ruining problem or anything, I just figure I should report the issue, in case it's fixable. (And isn't already known about; I searched the forum but didn't see anything)

Attached images are:
- 2 examples of the text being garbled
- one example of the DirectSound text
- the second example, after going back to normal (just so you can see it's not the metadata that's the problem)

Thank you for your continued support!

Ok, looks like unchecking "Only enable when WACUP is not the active program" under the Windows 10 preferences fixed it. I can pause and skip/restart tracks with my headphones normally now.

Thanks very much for the help! And apologies for putting this in the Wishlist board, I wasn't sure if it was a feature already or not.

Preview Build Discussion / Bluetooth headset control support

« on: February 19, 2022, 12:07:31 AM »

Maybe I'm just missing something in preferences, but I can't get my bluetooth headset controls to work with WACUP. This is a problem I had with regular Winamp too. Enabling all the boxes under Global Hotkeys preferences doesn't work, so I have to assume Winamp and WACUP just don't have any support for bluetooth multimedia controls, which is kind of inconvenient for me. Volume up + down work, but only because my bluetooth headphones control the PC's master volume. The play/pause/skip controls do nothing, however. These controls work fine with every other music application I've used on this PC, but winamp/WACUP are the only music application(s) that I like the UI of, so I'd prefer not to have to switch to a different one.

Part of the reason I use bluetooth headphones with my PC at all is so that I can leave my desk and do other things without having to pause the music, and while still being able to listen, so it would be really nice to be able to use my bluetooth headphones to control my music instead of having to go back to my desk whenever I want to skip or restart a song. Is it possible to implement this as a feature? Or am I being dumb and missing something in preferences? If it's the latter, I'd appreciate some help. My headphones are Srhythm NC25s if that helps.
