Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #18654 (March 24th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs) | Latest WACUP public preview is build #17040 (September 30th 2023) (x86 only)


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.

Preview Build Discussion / Re: *** in Songticker
« Last post by Aminifu on February 29, 2024, 04:25:40 PM »
I don't use ratings, so I can't verify if the 'nice looking stars' are being used. I like all the songs in my library about the same or I won't put them in my library.

I like having the " *** " in the main player window, it lets me see at a glance when the songticker string is restarting. But I can understand the OP's issue, if it affects the rating indications for those who use them.

For now, users with this issue could simply not put the rating metadata at the start or end of their ATF string (to state the obvious).   :)

At least someone is paying attention. Adding it for classic skins is simple enough, for modern skins it's either requiring them to be modified on a per-skin basis or trying to hook / patch things generically to try to strip it out which isn't something I'm going to spend time on doing at this point & most afaict tend to do the left/right bouncing by default over the continuous scrolling mode (something I've still to get around to adding for classic skins).

Skins / Seek and Volume animations
« Last post by ariszlo on February 28, 2024, 11:36:01 AM »
Seek and Volume animations is a sequel to my Study Skin, showcasing different techniques of animating the seek and volume sliders.

Get the skin at WinCustomize, DeviantArt or here below.

Update
Animations by region were broken in WACUP build 1.99.3.18106. They work again in  build 1.99.7.18654.

Hi dro,

I'm using the beta builds instead of the public previews, but I think the OP is talking about the handling in the main player window for classic skins instead of the taskbar handling. The options you pointed to for the taskbar currently do work in my configuration, but there is no way to disable the " *** " when the default or a custom string is scrolling in the main player window for classic skins. As you know, the main player window in some modern skins do not follow the same behavior as classic skins and will do something different.

I've now had a proper look at this & the majority of the issues I was seeing mainly seem to relate to dev / beta build changes & doesn't seem to massively affect the current preview build.

As for the ' *** ' handling, that's now been changed so the option on the prefs page noted above can be toggled on/off whether the default text or a custom atf string is being used which afaict should allow you to achieve what you're wanting if the existing suggestions don't quite work.

The only way currently is by going to Preferences -> General -> Taskbar -> Taskbar Text -> un-check the 'Scroll the text in the taskbar' option or you could try using the custom text option & un-checking the 'Append ' *** ' at the end of the title when title scrolling is enabled' option with that.

Though I've got to double-check the options on that prefs page as some aspects don't seem to be working as I'd expect in the current beta / dev build along with making sure that if ratings are set to be shown that they use the nice looking stars instead of the *** which is there by default for compatibility with external programs that might try to scrape the currently playing information from the program title text.

Preview Build Discussion / *** in Songticker
« Last post by cider on February 25, 2024, 11:57:54 AM »
I searched in preferences over and over but I can not find where to edit or disable these 3 stars ***
(it seems there's only an option for the taskbar text)
Can you please make this an option or include this in the songticker text ATF ?
I like to have the rating in the songticker and at the moment it's just a mess of stars.  :-\

It's also possible via the 'q' action to control what's going to play next. By right-clicking on the stop button -> on end of queue -> uncheck 'use setting only this time' & then going back & selecting the 'stop playing' option on there, when a file is selected as the next play by selecting it in the main playlist & pressing 'q', once that's been played it'll then stop on there (or go to the next playlist item depending on the other playback options).

If it's something that's always wanted on specific items then the separator option might be the better way to do it as there isn't any virtual metadata to link such a behaviour to items as things currently stand with wacup.

You can also use the Playlist Separator plug-in (in_text.dll) to insert a stop separator in a playlist where you want playback to stop. After the plug-in is activated, a "Separator:" command is added to the playlist editor's context menu. This command has a sub-menu that lets you select the kind of separator to insert.

There is a "Stop after current" command. Look in the sub-menu for the main context menu Playback command or use the "Ctrl + V" keyboard hot keys.
