General Discussion / Re: song starting bug

« Last post by dro on Yesterday at 01:20:39 PM »

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.

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

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?

Thanks for the confirmation it appears to be much better behaved for you. The only obvious thing is that libcurl had been updated.

I've recently installed the latest WACUP 1.99.41.22982 (x86), and I no longer have any issues with Internet Radio. It now takes just a second or two to connect to every station that hadn’t been working since summer (previously they worked fine, but not this fast).
I glanced the changelog but didn’t notice anything related to Radio on Windows 11 (only Mac and Linux).
Since I started this topic, I’ve installed a couple of Windows 11 updates, including 25H2.
Whatever was done, it’s been working wonderfully for the past two days.
Thank you!

Preview Build Discussion / Re: Playback acting weird

Did you un-check anything during install? As the soma streams should play without issue especially if it's the default full install of wacup. The first thing would be going to preferences -> plug-ins -> input -> see if the 'streaming url' plug-in (in_url.dll) is in that list & enabled.

Preview Build Discussion / Playback acting weird

« Last post by saucyknave on November 06, 2025, 10:35:48 PM »

I just installed WACUP x86, build 1.99.41.22982, on my Windows 11 laptop.  I dragged a SomaFM.com m3u file into the main WACUP window.  WACUP clearly tries to play the stream, as the Play icon changes to a Pause icon in the upper left pane but nothing else happens to indicate it's trying to play.  If I press stop and then play, the current streaming song will play.  If I press pause and then play, no audio, and again no indication it's trying to play.

The weirdest thing is if I DO get it to play, it'll play about 1 half a second of the next song and then stop, once again with the play button swapped with the pause icon and we're right back at the start.

Basically, WACUP is only playing a fraction of a second when it switches songs, which includes the startup behavior. 

Did I do something wrong when I installed it, or what's going on and how do I get this to work?

Preview Build Discussion / [BUG] Edit Metadata Error

« Last post by Talian on November 06, 2025, 03:23:00 PM »

If you check and then uncheck a field in the Edit Metadata window, even if there are other fields that are checked and filled in with changes, the "Update" button will gray out. In other words, it blindly toggles the update button w/o checking if there are other fields that need to be updated. FYI.

Thanks for all the hard work.
