It's not ok as you're telling me it's behaving in a manner that is at complete odds with how it's been coded & with what I'm seeing in my testing. Please send me a pm with a copy of your winamp.ini & gen_ml.ini files after having tried to set the columns & closing wacup.

Hi Darren,

it doesn't matter if I change the view or re-open the app.

I shring genres 2 to 6 to zero width and it comes back in a different view.
For my purpose it's ok as I can see the bitrate and format and I definitely don't need 6 genres.

If it's not your code please stay relaxed. In the end it's just my opinion and view.

I cannot replicate it resizing the columns within the internet radio back to showing if I've sized them to effectively not appear & had checked that it would save them as zero width before I'd made my reply. If something like the Ctrl+Shift+Numpad Plus action is done to trigger a resize based on the column contents then it's going to show the columns again as that's expected per how the listview is done in other parts of Windows.

If it's not saving their width when you're closing wacup or even just switching to another view & back again (does that behave for you or does it also break?) then my assumption would be something is either preventing the config from being updated or it's not being read back in on loading or something is triggering the column resize action (it's not something I've coded it to do as that would annoy me & is why all of the views be it this or local library, bookmarks, etc will attempt to maintain the last set width) which again I cannot currently replicate with 23528 in either of different x86 & x64 installs.

The columns of the internet radio view are intentionally hard-coded so that's not a bug imho. You can always re-size the columns not wanting to be seen to be zero width.

The emphasis is on "always re-size the columns". I don't know if you have tested that.
A resize is possible but it's back (full expand) on every application restart.
Is this on purpose, too ?

It's mainly for adjusting the channels being output so stereo to 5.1 for stereo input or a different way to do stereo to mono if the input plug-in being used doesn't natively support that playback mode. That's all subject to having the needed output device being compatible & the OS vs the output plug-in that's selected via it also supporting it. For some it's not needed if everything is already configured on the hardware / audio driver / OS side but for others it's needed to get what's expected.

If it's actively in use then the input & output levels on that prefs page should be indicating what's being received along with what's being output but that requires the Not So Neo output plug-in to be set as the active output plug-in via the dropdown at the top of the prefs -> plug-ins -> output page. I probably should do something to better indicate that it's not the active output plug-in when viewing that prefs page to avoid that potential confusion otherwise it may or may not be required in use.

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Re: Feature Request: Display Opus Codec Vendor (libopus) info in File Info Basic Tab

I've added preskip, original samplerate, samples & vendor to the output. Though some of my example files had encoder & vendor report the same value which makes it look a bit wrong due to the duplication but that'll have to be how it is. Have also added vendor to the flac enquivalent as I'd already made vorbis report that. Hopefully that'll be enough as part of when the next preview build update happens.

General Discussion / Re: Bookmark Subfolders Missing Last Letter on Right-Click Menu

Thank you mark. I've had a look & can replicate the issue which luckily for what's displayed shouldn't be causing grouping merges to occur as can happen due to the bug (e.g. having 2021 & 2022 categories will for that menu be treated as 202 & merges them in the sub-menu that's generated - the actual bookmark files aren't affected & that's ok). This'll need a new full build to resolve this problem.

The columns of the internet radio view are intentionally hard-coded so that's not a bug imho. You can always re-size the columns not wanting to be seen to be zero width. I don't intend on adding an url column though the tooltip will display it.

The last seen column is the last time that the url was reported as existing from the various services. It's there as a means to potentially determine why it may not be working if it's showing as last seen a few days prior & the url is no longer connecting but there is zero guarantee that any of the urls will be valid since it's based on a single snapshot until the next & stations will very often quickly come & go.

The view having multiple genre columns was the simplest way to represent the potential multiple values that might be reported back from the different radio providers vs allowing the user to see what's there whilst also trying to allow column sorting to make some sort of sense otherwise it'd require more re-processing & trying to create some sort of sensible consolidated string vs the mess of data that can already be reported back (which the processing of the db already tries to filter out into something that fits the main genres seen).

As there's no rhyme or reason afaict in the order that many of the internet radio stations set their reported genre values let alone how accurate that information even is to start with (i.e. the first value may not be the primary genre for a stream).

Preview Build Discussion / Channel mixer ? Stereo Upmix ?

« Last post by wd9895 on January 14, 2026, 02:14:45 PM »

Hi DRO & WACUP coders,

I have a question of understanding.

In the settings Preferences => Plug-ins => Output => Channel Mixer => Output format I found 4.1, 5.1 and other speaker configuration.

As I have a 5.1 Realtec sound card (which works on multichannel sources) in my PC I'm wondering if this is an upmix codec (stereo to multichannel, like SB X-Fi) or just an output format for multichannel audio files (AC3, Dolby, etc) ?

I can click any of the available options but no effect noticable.
What do I have to keep in mind?

The settings are equal in x86 and x64 version.
Release: 12. Jan 2026

Thanks!

The request is a kind of "streamripper" to record running internet Podcasts or internet radio.
Is that possible ?

Just a record function in a pre-selected audio format.
