General Discussion / Mediakeys under wine for WACUP (MPRIS support)

« Last post by skjerns on Today at 09:12:30 AM »

I'm successfully running WACUP on wine-11 under Kubuntu 24.04 with pipewire. Installation worked with no problems (related).

After setting output to "Not So Wavey" and starting WACUP with the wine env var

Code: [Select]

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=100 the audio worked flawlessly without any stutter.

However, the global media keys didn't work as the player is not registered as a MPRIS2 agent, which is a known issue for wine apps.

Therefore, I let Claude Code code up a plugin for WACUP that starts a MPRIS2 client that allows for media keys to control WACUP under wine. Tested for wine-11. Seems to work well! It registers as a plugin and communicates with a linux host binary via TCP that registers the MPRIS DBUS

My topmost favorite is PeterK.'s but if you add it then you will need to update your skin pack whenever PeterK. releases a new version.

Yes, Quinto is great. Unfortunately, Quinto will NOT be in that pack (we agree this with Peter).
Thanks for your voice!

Hi Paweł,

Here is an old favorite of mine: Invicta v1.31 with Plague's fix. Very small for modern screens but I like to use it when in nostalgic mood.

My topmost favorite is PeterK.'s Quinto Black CT but if you add it then you will need to update your skin pack whenever PeterK. releases a new version.

Blayde's Fusion AMPdeck was the number 1 skin during the Winamp 1 era and a blue copy of it became the default skin for XMMS.

General Discussion / Re: Double clicking .wav's rapidly enqueue's the wav instead of playing immediately

So I finally found a version of Winamp that works as expected: Winamp 5.62 (x86).

Double clicking on wav samples instantly plays them with no latency at all, and doesn't enqueue the files when I rapidly switch between samples.

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for the reply. At any rate I really appreciate if you look into this behavior. Right now I'm testing older versions of Winamp to try and achieve what I'm looking for.

If it's in the buffering state then it means that the vis data vs the playing state has lost sync & it can't match what's playing against the samples that it's expecting to try to render. There is no configuration option available to adjust as it shouldn't be messing up & as you've mentioned streams, I'd need examples of the stream(s) having issues to determine if it's a format specific issue or streaming in general though I've not seen it happen from some recent re-testing but that might be I'm not having issues with getting enough stream data or things just keeping in sync so who knows. Also the output plug-in being used might affect things with notsoyasapi being known to cause a de-sync even with local files.

I can't access anything from imgur as I'm geo-blocked by them since last year.

As for what's shown in the video, wacup is a different program to winamp so there are differences in behaviour & currently what you want it's command-line handling will not do as it's batching up requests coming in from the multiple spawned instances which was done as it helped with others double-clicking on a large selection where that otherwise would do more like you're wanting but wasn't what they wanted as it then lost files being added.

At this time wacup can't do what you need without either adding in another option to change the behaviour or for me to find a different way to achieve what is the intention of the handling whilst allowing quick additions to work. As for the /clear aspect, it does work but it's covered as part of the batch handling so it cannot do what you're currently wanting & maybe just having that not be handled by it might be the quicker way to get closer to what you're wanting but I won't know until I allocate time to look into it.
