Preview Build Discussion / Skin defect since about 3 updates ago

« Last post by Phuntso on Yesterday at 04:35:41 PM »

Currently on 1.99.50.24496 (x86).  I'm using the Drone v1.1 skin. See the attached image. The skin has lost ability to show playlist items with transparent background and the ability to highlight the currently selected item as it still could before some few updates ago. Now it just shows items in a black box. I also noticed that the button tooltips render incorrectly: half is correct, second half is default system tooltip without the skin color theme.

Maybe you could check under Preferences-Media Library-Local Library-View Filters ...

There is an option related to Albumartist tag handling incl. some explanation.

Hi Dro,

sorry but herewith your find some data.

Album view in library view. Column "Artist" shows correct name.
Mysterious to me is the separation in two album. Root cause is the information in "Album Artist". If I correct this manually the two albums become one.

A comparision of the file metadata show the differences and the impact on the doubling of the album.

Comparing to winamp at this point isn't helpful when they use completely different solutions especially when it comes to MP3 (you've not noted what these files were). Plus I moved to using taglib2 from taglib1 recently so maybe that has changed something which I've not seen. So without seeing the raw metadata from the file &/or an example copy showing the issue I can't say why it's seemingly wrong vs your expectations.

Build #24496 (May 8th 2026)

There seems to be a library issue. Artist and Album Artist are mixed up.

Exanple:
I have a ripped CD from George Benson. The songs are stored in one folder and should appear as one collection from song 1 to 10.
But it appear in 2 CDs with same album name "20/20".

The issue was the one CD carried "George Benson", the other "Benson, George" but not in Artist name but in Album Artist. But the column in the library is just "Artist".

After manual correction of "Album Artist" the CDs appeare as one.

I have several issues found in my database which do not appear under original Winamp release as the column "Artist" reads right field from metadata correctly.

I hope to have described the issue properly enough for your debugging.

The plug-in is a mess from assuming that what it was forked from actually worked but pull mode has never worked for me & there's no debugging modes with the plug-in. I do not like shipping such code when it's mostly never going to be used vs bloating the code base along with most of the time being a pain to figure out what should even be done for that side of things. All I know is that I managed to briefly try the plug-in with its default config yesterday & it worked without issue & having not intentionally messed with the plug-in in months I don't have a solution for why it's buggered & if it's going back to 20202 then that's a few years back. So until I can actually look at what code changed back then there's nothing I can do & no point you spending more time on it.

Some more information: push mode seems to work sometimes, but it needs few WACUP restarts to happen so.
If pull mode is used (pull never works), and then changed to push and back instead, push also never works.
If push is working after WACUP restart, it continues working until closed. Changing to pull once fails it until next working restart.
So it seems to be a matter of some timing issue / deadlock / stale lock / handle loss happening somewhere at initialization or close to it.

Any chances there is some debug logging that can be enabled to see what happens during YASAPI inner workings maybe?

There are some crashes sometimes when I try to enter YASAPI configuration page by clicking on plugin from Output page.
If I enter it from the Output menu at the left, no crashes happen.

Plugin test result:
#24496, #24472, #24360, #23960, #23528, #23410, #23234 (DLL size 52224) - not working
#22982, #22656, #22626, #22278, #22222, #22022, #21640, #21622 (DLL size 51712) - not working
#21136, #21102 (DLL size 52736, same as in 20202) - NOT working
#20202 (DLL size 52736) - WORKING
#20088, #19994, #19516, #19100 (DLL size 52736, same as in 20202) - working
#17040 (DLL size 49664) - working

That's based on just specific .dll version testing in #24496 (replacing the DLL with DLL from build being tested).

To make sure it's not dependent on some API/ABI, I also tested #23234, #22982, #21622, #21136, #21102 as portable builds.
None are working properly, although #21136 and #21102 seem to work in Push mode (I normally tested Exclusive/Pull).

So obviously something happened between #20202 and #21102 there. It's kind of strange given DLL seems to be the same between 20202 and 21136/21102 though. Other video/audio players (AIMP, MPC-HC) work in Exclusive/Pull(Event) mode just fine.
