Latest WACUP public preview for x86 & x64 is build #20202 (September 28th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs)
Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #20686 (December 23rd 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs)


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.

I've finally gotten around to trying out the picturebox widget & it seems to be failing to find / show the artwork in most of the files I had in my test install. Maybe I'm missing something but for the ones that it does show something, what it shows doesn't seem correct as I know there's no folder.jpg or albumartsmall.jpg files. However looking at it, it makes it clearer of what's being asked for :)

Aye that works though there's room to tweak how it's done :)

IT IS from Android, that's where I got the idea from. Plex also has it but is more complete, you can put content inside the .ignore file and the server will consider it.
That's interesting using other files to allow inclusion as needed.

It's a good idea but I don't know off the top of my head how to get a .nomedia to be accounted for with how the scanner currently works (other than some invasive api hooking which I do but try to avoid where possible). So I think it will need a replacement but I'll keep this in mind (as it sounds like something from android or something like that without me searching for it, heh).

Skins / Re: Big Bento Modern Beta
« on: November 23, 2017, 03:17:07 PM »
That's a bit odd as being able to run sendmessage.exe (directly or via a shortcut) is probably more in-secure than trying to invoke winamp itself. Might be best to follow up on this outside of this thread (not sure those just wanting to get the skin would be too interested in the techy stuff :) ).

Skins / Re: Big Bento Modern Beta

Either way, it's a simple thing that victhor can resolve the next there's a skin update ;)

No sir, that's an amateur mistake, I'm beyond that (most of the time hah). The skin NEEDS to be used on a folder because of the sendmessage.exe. The skin works zipped but buttons on the Playlist Info View don't.

Tbh I thought that was still broken due to the shortcut issues & it not making using of the install folder to know where things need to be found. Not using sendmessage.exe would be simpler (& safer) but I guess that's got to be kept around for older installs where it's not possible to leverage the native command-line support in 5.66x.

I think I remember that one could used zipped skins... I also tried renaming to wsz and wal... same result.
It does but winamp doesn't like it if the contents in the zip (or a wsz or wal - which are just re-named zip files) are initially within a folder. As the modern skin engine doesn't try to dig down a level to then look for the skin.xml file that it needs to find to know how to load the skin. Either way, it's a simple thing that victhor can resolve the next there's a skin update ;)

The winamp playlist is an odd beast as it doesn't conform to the expected Explorer ways as it's not using any of that (unlike the lists in the media library). Once you've got your eye in on things then you get to know what the differences are which are subtle in some cases & just completely different in others (shift + up / down increases the selection in that direction but doesn't reduce it an a matching manner as the OS / explorer way does). Anyhoo, a custom ui & hooking directly into the playlist should make it a bit easier to do some sort of psuedo multiple playlist implementation (as long as it works, no one will care how it's done :) ).

(unless I do a full replacement of the UI handling and can nicely link that into the original playlist core handling - needed to prevent breaking plug-ins, etc)
Since the #1988 beta, I'm now able to interact with the main playlist directly (used to help fix some long standing JTFE issues) so that's one step closer to being able to make a replacement playlist ui & being able to sort out more standard control access for it :)

General Discussion / Re: DSP Stacker Stability
« on: November 19, 2017, 07:12:00 PM »
Multiple DSP Stacker was the best one I found though I had briefly started on trying to update a version of MuchFX2 but I've since changed my idea on how it should work (an external window isn't great & instead the dsp plug-in preferences page should be the way to manage the stacking - which is more work but when I do get around to doing it, it should be more intuitive as that way all of the plug-in management is done on that page).

As for the crashes, I think the stacker plug-ins are generally stable, it's more about the plug-ins that are being stacked via it that might be the cause of the issues as although It can be done, stacking plug-ins was never something that was designed for within the API and so forcing that might be the cause of issues arising.

If you are getting crashes & as you've got WACUP beta access, hopefully the WACUP crash reporter might catch the crash & I can then try & determine where & what happened. If not, we'll have to see if I can make something that better behaves :)

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Re: More Playlist Sorting options
« on: November 19, 2017, 07:06:02 PM »
Is a good idea and ideally any sorting options added need to be applied to both the main and library playlists. Is probably a few other options that can be added that are based more about the tagging of the files, is just whether it's a fixed order or try to make it more dynamic (more involved but a bit more flexible for the long-term).

One thing with the specific request is that it'd probably need to take into account another value (e.g. album or album artist) so if it's sorting within a larger playlist that it'll do the sorting correctly for each album (which isn't an issue when only dealing with a playlist for just the files related to a single album :) ).

My point is that developers may provide some support for what is in their official installers, but can not be expected to provide support for what is not.
Well said :) Like I put in my reply above, I'm only including what was officially provided just for that reason, including everything adds a level of expected support when it cannot really be achieved.

As I could have done as some have proposed elsewhere & just bundle every known plug-in into a plug-in pack & that be wacup but that would just not be a nice experience (once you filter out the ones that crash on loading) as including everything obtains the 'bloat' complaints but then not including enough gets complaints from those who just cannot be bothered to install something else.

So I'd like to think in the cPro scenario that I've got a reasonable middle-ground in using just the 'base' install & if more is wanted then the user (as was always the case) then they can be manually installed (but that brings the issue in finding them if the original site is gone at this time).

But if I am not wrong, you don't distribute all widgets (only BrowserPro, NowPlaying)
My aim was only to include the _base_ cPro files needed & not the additional widgets as they're not required to use a cPro skin.

@Benco asked about widget (suggested by @victhor) and I have it on my disk (svn copy for 2.02 version) -> Chapterlist, CoolVU, PictureBox,  Shoutbox.
This is why I was looking for some clarification of what was actually being talked about / wanted as it wasn't 100% clear :)

Ps:
CPro in WACUP:
1. You distribute source m files, but I do not see maki compiler...
2. This looks like unpacked installer dir (via 7zip -> to remove?): WACUP\Plugins\ClassicPro\engine\widgets\Data\NowPlaying\$SMPROGRAMS
3. This also should be removed, as this includes installes source files (NOT INCLUDED): WACUP\Plugins\ClassicPro\engine\widgets\cpro-widget-BrowserPro.nsi
What I included in WACUP is what was provided in the last installer provided (the 2.03 revision) & effectively just is a folder copy since that worked & not knowing the full details of what is / isn't needed, it was simpler to go that route (since that's what was being 'officially' provided.

Afaik all of the maki files are there (based on what I've taken from the installer I was working with vs what got installed by said installer). I'll remove those parts you've mentioned though it may only apply to new installs as I try not to touch that folder unless there's a proper new update that needs to be installed (which seems like there may not be any going forward with the demise of the site & other things).

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Re: Playlist ordering in ML
« on: November 19, 2017, 05:20:18 PM »
That's good you're liking the different way they can now be handled (the older way of nodes for all playlists is still there if re-enabled but I don't remember adding drag+drop support in the navigation pane). Will definitely consider adding manual re-ordering in a later build.

Bit confused on the last few posts as it seems to be talking about cPro and the last version released is included with WACUP and 1001skins has a copy off it. Unless I'm not following what's being talked about...

« on: November 17, 2017, 07:02:24 PM »
Afaik the usage of the values during playback is handled the same, it's just the calculation that's different. So all of the upper options I believe will work the same & due to the range on the preamp values, you should be able to tweak them to what better fits with the newer mode (other than looking at how to use the newer library, I'm not fully up to speed on the key differences).
