[FIXED] song starting bug
« on: November 13, 2025, 03:34:05 AM »
for some reason any new song, instead of starting at 0 seconds it starts at 2:42? im not sure if this is some bug or somewhat vague feature

i use in_mpg123.dll as my audio plugin (may or may not help)


first post so sorry if i forget anything

What happens if you use the mp3 playback wacup provides (which is using mpg123) instead of using such an old plug-in? Also is there a specific reason for using that 3rd party plug-in?

so turns out

i had them both on

turning off the original in_mp3.dll fixed it

i think i had searched for a similar problem before but a solution i got was to get in_mpg123? im not sure how much it changes anything

thanks!

in_mp3 isn't actively used for playback & is only kept around by the x86 build so it can modify metadata on mp3 files. imho there's no need for in_mpg123 & the only thing I can find on here was from some time back & the solution then was also to disable it as it wasn't necessary.

[edit]
Something that is however helpful for anyone else looking at this later on is via Preferences -> About | Updates -> About tab -> Running Statistics group which indicates the active input & output plug-ins.
