Latest WACUP public preview for x86 & x64 is build #21640 (May 11th 2025) (x86 & x64 changelogs)
Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #21640 (May 11th 2025) (x86 & x64 changelogs)


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.

Howdy

Updated to the latest 21640 build yesterday via the in app updater, and now Wacup seems to hang on the winamp playlist editor process and doesn't respond.

Tried updating via downloading the latest public release on the releases page then selected "update existing install" when I ran it and no dice there either.

Here's a recording of me trying to launch it from the .exe file https://youtu.be/zY6kl8BPyDY

Should I try just clean installing and see if that works?

sorry if this isn't the proper place for submitting issues, tried peeping the other forums and didn't see any labeled "post bugs here"

The default one. I think it's Bento.

That plug-in can also be somewhat unstable in use.

What skin are you using? The modern skins not working correctly on starting minimised is known to happen for some & there's little I can do to resolve it without making my own plug-in to handle that type of skin.

Maybe take a look at the "Cover & TAG" plug-in.
https://www.angelfire.com/blog/richter/cooool/plugin5.html
or
https://winampheritage.com/plugin/cover-tag-for-winamp5/138565

It uses the video window to display the cover art. It also has the option to cycle all track images!
It's a pretty old plug-in (2008). So its TAG-Edit options will not work anymore.

Version 1.99.32.21640

If WACUP was minimized then application closed on next start it will show weird generic WACUP window with playlist being empty and additional windows such as clock waveform seeker and lyrics missing until you press on taskbar icon to restore window then it will restore properly.

So it is not properly remembering minimized state on next launch.

I never managed to replicate this & as we're now onto build 21622 (as of this reply) which I know has been flagged to others I'm going to assume that this is no longer a problem now that the build is ok to update flag has been enabled again.

A very important part of listening to music as an experience is the visual media that is usually given along side it.
This goes beyond just the album cover. For example, CD releases of game soundtracks came with booklets that would include key art, character renders, story and world explanations, composer/developer commentary and interviews, sheet music, credits, and potentially even more album specific artwork. In the context of digital backups or releases, even more images can be included such as scans of the actual disc art itself or false disc artwork for the sake of novelty, screenshots, fanart, ect. These are all done by skilled artists in the same way that the music itself is with the intention for the listener to digest it simultaneously with whats being listened to.

In the same way that WACUP will use and read "cover.imgformat" as the default album art within the directory of an album, perhaps WACUP could read from a subfolder titled "images" in the same directory that would take the image contents of that folder and use it for the slideshow mode. Settings could include a shuffled display mode, an editable timer for how long images are displayed before switching to the next, or for the images to switch with playback of a new song in the playlist.

That was mentioned in the changelog notes iirc that it might require having to re-apply things depending on what bad state things had gotten into. Main thing is that its now working ok for you.

I should take partial blame for this as the skin very intentionally messes with the window scaling to copy the behavior of what Winamp/WACUP do, there's nothing stopping you from setting the window scaling but the skin will not remember it (well, it does but it's being reset upon skin loading iirc), this is all really because of DeClassified wanting to provide a base for other people to build new Modern Skins with using Classic Skin assets and also allowing you to break the rules.

If you're feeling adventurous, check out actioninfo.m and look for all instances of setScaling, the code responsible can be safely removed, this should in theory also work for other DeClassified based skins out there although it's unknown if any just swap the assets or have modified the maki scripts (and if they ship them at all).
