WACUP x86 #24626 update anomaly
« on: July 11, 2026, 07:18:57 PM »
I downloaded the recent update and now nothing plays. No online radio. In case of a music playlist, it just fast skips over them one by one. And finally when I tried to play an OGG file the WACUP terminated without an error. And now after the OGG attempt I cannot launch WACUP at all: it terminates after the window appears.

EDIT:
I tried Safe Mode - did nothing.
I tried Crash Collector - it showed the terminal, WACUP continued to malfunction.
Then I ran WACUP again, it finally threw a crash report window and after which WACUP started running normally again.
Now that's odd.

Check the post-release updates in the Preferences -> About | Updates, they might fix the issue.
Maker of Plugins, I suppose.

Without the post release updates applied & if you're using the notsoyasapi output plug-in then it has a bug which broke playback with that output plug-in.

Hence the post release update being provided for it which if a crash occurs should've triggered a prompt to install them or it might've detected the output plug-in & reverted things back to the default notsodirect output plug-in depending on what the crash details indicated.

I can't check until tomorrow now if there were an crash reports making it to the site server to see if the ogg crash was caught in some manner to resolve it.

I installed the post update and I am on 1.99.53.24784 now, "Not So Direct v1.15" is not working.
It silently skips all songs.

Really this should have been it's own thread as what was reported was to do with a different output plug-in.

There aren't any post release updates related to the notsodirect output plug-in with the build shown. I could also do with knowing the build type & what skin is being used. As under classic skins it may give a reason for the failure in the main window song ticker text. I'd also recheck what the output plug-in prefs page is showing as selected to be used from the dropdown & that there's no errors mentioned. Also if you're trying to use a specific output device or what's set as the OS default device.

Sorry, I thought this was the same problem.
I will create a new thread.
