Playback acting weird
« on: November 06, 2025, 10:35:48 PM »
I just installed WACUP x86, build 1.99.41.22982, on my Windows 11 laptop.  I dragged a SomaFM.com m3u file into the main WACUP window.  WACUP clearly tries to play the stream, as the Play icon changes to a Pause icon in the upper left pane but nothing else happens to indicate it's trying to play.  If I press stop and then play, the current streaming song will play.  If I press pause and then play, no audio, and again no indication it's trying to play.

The weirdest thing is if I DO get it to play, it'll play about 1 half a second of the next song and then stop, once again with the play button swapped with the pause icon and we're right back at the start.

Basically, WACUP is only playing a fraction of a second when it switches songs, which includes the startup behavior. 

Did I do something wrong when I installed it, or what's going on and how do I get this to work?

Did you un-check anything during install? As the soma streams should play without issue especially if it's the default full install of wacup. The first thing would be going to preferences -> plug-ins -> input -> see if the 'streaming url' plug-in (in_url.dll) is in that list & enabled.
